The Atigiiala police hoard lasi mghl
dismissed the charge brought against |
Flr*i Lieutenant William Collin*,
wbb li charge grew out of a report ;
made in Chairman Cohen by Lleuten-1
ant l-atnhofh Hopkins. Ihe latter ad |
, mining that he had heard street talk,
alien! the report eoncernlng Lleuten
ant Collin*, and so baaed hi* report.
Th«- In,aid had ordered Lieutenant
Lambeth Hopkins to appear before
them and nmke an explanation* an to
why he did not folow the police regie
Ist lona In (he mailer and report Lieu

stead of reporting the alleged mlscon
duel to th< chairman. On 'hi* attb-j
Ji-ct the board pa-*d the following
resolutions:
‘-Be it resolved by the board of po
lice commissions. That a* Llautenant
Hopkins did not make the charge*
against Lieutenant Collins to the chief,
as required by rule No. 63, that he be
required to explain reasons for not do
ing so at the nest meeting of the
1 board."
! Rule f. 3 reads:
“All complaint* from police officers
must come through the chief of police,
whoae duty it will be to forward the
tame to the president of the board
with such endorsement thereon at he
may think proper.”
There Is only one word thai aptly
Ills Ihe proceeding* that eltaraelerizeil
the cam- against Lieutenant Collins,
made at the Instigation of Lieutenant
Hopkins a boomerang for Lieutenant
Hopkins. The rase turns out to be
one In which the prosecutor becomes
ihe defendant, so to speak. The tables
i are turned.
The Trial.
Al R o’clock last night police hoard

icharge of allowing a certain party,
one John Harden, to use abusive and
profane language at the ban arks In

lire. The speelalora crowded Ihe main
office and I lie mayor's office. eager to
bear w hat was to he said. All nielli
lairs of th« board were present.
After some minor matters had been
attended to. the case against Lleuten
ant Collins was sounded. Lieutenant
Hopkins appeared as Ihe main wit

Collins pleaded "not guilty." Chair

to be made He said Lieutenant Hop

and the chairman had. as a matter of
duty, placed a case against Lleuten

Lleutennnl Hopkins slated to the
beard that he bad not preferred any
charges against Lieutenant <*>lllns.
lutt had simply reported id the chair
man what he bail heard nnent liar

ant Collin*.
"When I said lo Lieutenant Hop
kin* that I would prefer charges
against Lieutenant Collins, lie uc
jqnlsced and said lhai was correct, did
j >on not lieutenant?" said Chairman
Cohen
"Ye;.." replied Lieutenant Hopkins.
Commissioner Alexander "Why
i did you not report ihe matter to the
chief. Item.nan; V

Commissioner Alexander asked Lieu
tenant Hopkins how he rante to make
the report, and the reply was.

"Yes. I saw pari b-a who were pres

hid you not think the matter grave
enough to make a report to the ehlef?"
' I made a statement to the chair
man "
"You just jumped over the chief's
head?"
Mr, Alexandet "Information reach-;
ed you which you took for facts',
which you thought significantly grave
to make a complaint against a police I
officer?”
Lieutenant Hopkins Tut not a
prosecutor; whai I learned I thought
sufficiently grave to cause me to put
Mr Cohen in pt'S'-esslott of them, and
left It lo Mr. Cohen «o decide “
Mr KrankUn: "Lieutenant, you

harmony In the force, which 1 want
to see adjusted "

INCURABLE SUFFERING PEOPLE
SHOULD ILL BE KILLED
PHILADELPHIA. Jan 6 Dr. Chas.
Eliot Norton, of Cambridge, man of
letters and translator of Dante's Di
vine Comedy." has Joined forces with
Miss Anne it. Hall, of Cincinnati, and
with Maud Halllngton Booth in
their campaign for the killing off of
the hopelessly insane, hopelessly dis
ease, and victims of accident*.
Miss Hall al the meeting of the
American Humane association In Phil
adelphia last October presented reso
lution* calling for approval of "the
practice of physicians who in eases of
hopeless suffering make painless the
last hours of life by an anaesthetic."
and protesting against "the practice
of prolonging by artificial means Ihe
agonies of incurable diseases."
The resolutions also called for I lie
adoption by railroad* of recommenda
tions by Mrs. Maud Halllngton Booth,
providing for the killing bv annex
thetlt- of Injured and Imprisoned vic
tims of rallroHil wreck* or other ac
cident*.
I* Continuing the Campaign.
The resolution was defeated, but
Miss Hall is continuing her campaign,
and the Norton letter, it I* thought,
will give much Impetus to her work.
Dr. Norton was formerly professor
of literature at Harvard. ll» was a
friend of Longfellow and 1-owell. and
with them made the famous transla
lion of the "Divine Comedy." He
heads his letter: "An appeal to rea
son as well as compassion," addresses
Ml ss Hall, and write:
"You ask me to express my opin
ion. in some form that it may be given
to ihe public, concerning the prolongs
Ilon of life by medical or surgical
science when il can be prolonged only
hi (he cost of misery.
"The matter has of late acquired my
claim for consideration owing to the
rapid advance In knowledge, and In
skill, alike of physicians and sur
geons. and to the application of this
increasing knowledge and skill to the
lengthening of wretched lives.
Ha* Practical Considerations.
"The principle that it is a duty to
prolong every human life ns long as
possible, al whatever cost, has hither
to been generally accepted
"Its main support has been the doc
trine of the sacredness of human life,
and 'his has been re-enforced by two
practical consider*! lons of great
weight. one. the freedom of physician
or xiirg'sin from the responsibility of
decisions of a question grave in any
case, and in which a mistake in Judg
nient might be severely blameworthy :
the other the natural desire on ihe
pari of members of (lie medical and
surgical profession to exhibit the re
sources of their art In mastering ex
jt rente difficulties.
"The doctrine and the practice have
both been pressed tod far. Then- is
no ground to hold every human life
ax inviolably sacred and to be pre
served. no matter with what results
to the individual or to others. On
the contrary, there are eases to which
every reasonable consideration urges
th.it the end should be put Setting
aside all doubtful cases, no right
thinking man would hesitate to give a
dose of laudanum, sufficient to end
suffering and life together, to the vie
ilnt of *n accident from the tortur
ing effect* of which recovery was im
possible. however many hours of mis-
I cry might he added to conscious life
by stimulants or surgical operations.
W**re Pai- I* Incessant.
' Nor should a reasonable man hesi
tate to hasten death ir. the ease of a
mortal disease, such, for example, hs
cancer when It has reached the stage
of incessant severe pain and when the
patient desires to die
"The prolongation of life in such a
case by whatever means, is mere crim
Inal cruelty,
“Or lake another instance, that of
an old person, whose mind has become
a chaos of wild imaginings produc
tive of constant distress not only to
the sufferer, but to all who live with
an<l attend him The plain duty in
such a case is not to prolong, but to
sboru-n life.
"It I* not to be hoped that a super
stition so deeply rooted in tradition as,
first start in the game in Ihe class 1!
championship tournaments at the old
Manhattan^ Athletic Club. Beginning
tomorrow night he will meet Edward
Me Laugh lilt, of this city, and Thomas
J. Hallaglter. of Chicago, at Maurice
Daly's Academy.
that of the duty of prolonging life at
any cost will readily yield to the argu
ment* of reason or the pleadings of
coin passion, but the discussion of the
subject in its various aspects may lead
gradually to a more enlightened pub
lic opinion and to (he consequent re
lief of much misery."
