Friday, cooler In tho west portion, - an HOME OF RICHMOND Still y. Having Trouble WithOfEcials DOCTOR REFUSES STATEMENT. Name Entered Wrong on the Books, Hot Explained All Information Held Front' Newspapers Assistant Could Give No Light on Subject By Wire to The Sun. Richmond, Va., Aug. 13. Although MtBS Fannie Morris, of 1400 Wiest Taylor street, drank a bottle of lau v. danum at her home last Monday after noon, and was taken to the City Home and treated by Dr. Eggleston, no rec ord of such a case is recorded on the official records of the institution. When a reporter examined the rec ord book at the home this morning he found that on last Monday, August 10th at 6:35 p. m., there had been an ambu lance call to 1400 West Taylor Street and that Dr. Eggleston had responded. The name of the patient treated was given ag "Mary Jones, C. F." (which means .colored female) and her ad dress was set down as 1400 West Tay lor-Street. The interne, however, sub sequently changed the address by scratching out the 1400 West Taylor street and substituting Nineteenth and Broad streets. Fannie Morris undoubtedly was treated at the home after she had drank tbeontents of a three ounce bottle of laudanum, but there is no record of her case. Certainly, if Dr. Eggleston wished to record the real name of the patient, he should have done so before, as the records are supposed to be written up after each day. The interne, however, failed to enter the name of Fannie Morris, al though she spent a night at the City Home and was treated. When a reporter attempted to learn something of the poisoning from tho City Home yesterday, Dr. Eggleston flatly refused to give out the Blighteat bit of information. He said that he had promised the family not to give the case to the newspapers. And this too, despite the fact that everything the physician does in the way of hand ling cases, is supposed to be subject to public inspection. The record plainly shows that the name was written on the book as one thing and then scratched out and writ ten another way. Just what Dr. Eg gles ton's motive was in acting thus is a thing that cannot be understood, un less, indeed, he desired to "throw down" the newspapers. At the City Home this morning noth ing could be learned of "Mary Jones,'' a "colored 'female," but it was said that a young white woman of the name of Fannie Morris had been treated there. Assistant Superintendent Lewis was able to throw no light whatever on the case. He said that the internes had everything to do with the record ing of all such matters; that he knew nothing about them except what the physicians happened to put on the rec ord book. , Mr. Lwi8, as Is always the case, was very polite and appeared to be disposed to give the press anything he had. Yet he could offer no information as to the misleading records described above. - NEGROES THRASHED Become Impaient to Ladles Found Alone In a Farm House By Wire to The 8un. , Lake Charles, La., Aug. 13.

That they had offered no violence to tho ladles saved their Uvea. , HILL HOST TO SCHOLARS American Ambassador at Berlin Re ' ferred to as History Maker Berlin, Aug. 13.

SEEKING FUNDS Former Representative in Washington Wanted to Start Revolution By Wire to The Sun, Washington, D. C, Aug. 13. Don August F. Pullde, for fifteen years representative of the Venezuelan gov ernment, in Washington, but who was suddenly recalled last year, is in New York, seeking funds to finance a rev olution in his country, which Is expect ed to result In the downfall of Cas tro's government. Castro's treatment of the Americans who have been interested in the as phalts company and other companies of Venezuela, leads to the belief that it will not be difficult to raise a large sum for overthrow of Castro. . Mr. H. P.' Willis, has given the standpipe at the pumping station thorough cleaning out and today he made a tour of the city opening the hydrants so that alt tho water Btand. tng 111 the pipes could be blown out, giving tho mains a little : cleaning.
