GOVERNOR REFUTES
SAXHORN CHARGES
Continued from first pace l
with the proper control of the situa
tion put forth every effort humanely
possible to give proper care to those
who were afflicted and requiring
hospital service.
"There has alco been some ques
tion raised as to the temperature of
some of the buildings and rooms oc
cupied by the sick patients. I find
th.-: the physicians In charge all
agree it was necessary to have an
abundance of ventilation for the sick
patients. The information I have re
ceived also indicates that in every
building, and In all of the rooms, ex
cepting one, there was ample.heat at
all times. In this one instance, a
room that was used as a convalescent
ward in one of the buildings, did not
have the amount of radiation neces
sary for Its use for such purpose.
Immediately upon the college man
agement finding that tho room was
being used as a convalescent ward
additional radiation was placed In
tho room.
Regard ing the question that has
been raised of insufficient blankets,
1 may say that the blankets for the
students training corps are furnished
by the United States army. This is
therefore a responsibility of the
army officials. During my visit to
the college there seemed to be no
lack of blankets. It may be, how
ever, in the early days of the epi
demic there was not a sufficient
number on hand. I am sure, how
vere, if this was the case, the con
dition was quickly remedied. '
"All of the information obtainable
clearly shows thai the statement that
rotten food was served to the men is
not a correct statement. In the
feeding of 800 or more men a large
amount of food is required. It was
found on one occasion that two, or
theree hams being prepared were not
ill suitable condition to be used.
These were Immediately destroyed
and none of the food was served to
the men. This is a condition that
might be found in any camp or in
tiny home. Those in charge of tin'
food being served to the men are en
titled to the credit of having quick
ly destroyed this unfit food. It is in
deed unfair to charge that such food
has been served.
"In the consideration of this mat
ter, it is well to remember that the
authorities at the State College, both
military and educational, were called
upon quickly to handle the epidemic,
it is undoubtedly possible that if
there hail been but the normal num
ber of sick cases more individual at
tention could have been given than
was possible during the epidemic per
iod. This is not only true at the
State College, but of every camp
and in every community where the
epidemic was found. Personally, I
was surprised to find it had been pos
sible to procure the services of as
many trained nurses as were in serv
ice with the men at Pullman. At
one time seven nurses came from the
St. Ignatius hospital at Colfax. E.
T. Coman. the president of the board
of regents of the State College, spent
several days in Spokane endeavoring
to obtain nurses and did succeed in
sending a number down to the State
College. The assistance rendered in
this line of service by the people of
Pullman Is shown to have been of
high class. Leading men and women
of that community gladly lent all
Possible aid in this direction. Let
me further add that a number of
citizens of Pullman placed their au
tomobiles at the disposal of the rela
tives of young men when they visited
the community for the purpose of
seeing the afflicted young men.
These automobiles were in service
day and night. No charge whatever
was made for their use.
"1 had before me a large number
ol letters from parents of the young
men, these letters expressing the
deepest appreciation for the care
that had been given to the young
men. 1 can not but feel that in his
Statements Mr. Sanborn is unfair to
those who were in charge. It is in
deed regretable that such an epi
demic should have swept across the
country. All. sympathize with Mr.
Sanborn in the loss of his son. This
sympathy also reaches out to others
who have been so afflicted. In al
most every case the other relatives
have expressed appreciation for the
service rendered to their sons, and
also the feeling that everything that
could be done was done for them.
He. however, does not seem to be of
this mind.
"In conclusion 1 may say that no
further investigation of this matter
will be ordered by me, as I feel that
the record made causes me to say
thai Instead of criticism all who took
part in rendering service during the
epidemic are entitled to words of
commendation for the splendid
sympathy and helpful service
rendered by them."
