To the Editor of The Times-Democrat: The reports published by The Times-Democrat and other New Orleans newspapers relative to the fire which destroyed the Crowley Sanitarium on Friday, Dec. 19, have been bo incorrect and do such an injustice to Mrs.

Margaret Bauman, the head nurse at the sanitarium, at the time of the lire, that I feel it only Just to give a correct report, as I am one of the escaped inmates. Miss Morris was not on regular duty, but only called in during a rush of work, where the head nurse could not do it all, and this was the case on the 19th. Miss Morris was in my room changing the linen on bed when the fire broke out. She left the room for a few moments, but returned at about, the same time Mrs. Bauman got to my room, and the two together put my bathrobe on me and each supported me on either side until mv room door was reached, when Mrs.

Bauman left me with Miss Morris, to go to the other end of the building to see that a little fourteen-year-old girl was carried to safety. After seeing that this patient was safely carried out. she returned toward my room and escaped down the rear stairs.

The testimony of physicians and hospital officials, no less than the expressions cf the grateful patients, were widely circulated. Chicago.

Baltimore and several ether cities have passed similar ordinances, and in others the reform is under consideration. In Washington an amendment to the police regulations is now being considered, which will provide this quiet sone. It requires that the territory shall extend a distance of 250 feet on all sides from any hospital or institution for the care of the sick. The limits of the aones are to be designated by signs lamp posts or fry other conspicuous notices. Any person convicted maktag an unnecessary noise within the boundaries of a hospital lone will be fined.

In the future, the possibilities of quiet will be considered in selecting hospital locations, where such an institution must be centrally located a quiet approach will be planned. Where this has not been done, some noise restrictive measures are essential: since all physicians are denouncing the harmful effect rf continued noise upon a weakened physical condition.

As I reached the stairway I located the fire, and seeing that I was in no immediate danger, took my time in getting down by myself, until I reached a door, near the foot of the stairs, where two negroes took me in charge and carried me to safety. I had been operated upon for appendicitis on the 12th, a week previous to the fire, and had never sat up at all.

The members are p'edged to consider always the elimination of noises wherever found. Mrs. Rice herself is in the habit taking an early morning walk each ay.

This not only gives her exercise, but gives her an opportunity to study the tiies peculiar to the early morning with at view to lessening them. It is surprising how many noises once considered absolutely necessary have been found to be needless assaults upon the public peace. The whistles of the steamboats that run In the East and North Rivers in New Tork have made a perfect bedlam of the water's edge. An ordinance has been passed which has reduced tbeee whistles fully SO per cent without in any way interfering with or lessening their traffic efficiency. Other means of signaling have been found effective, and the restriction of the sharp whistles has.

I am also now putting mvself on record that I shall again petition the Attorney-general of the United States not only to investigate this matter, as I have done before, but to prosecute criminally every man connected with the Department of Arriculture who has advocated the early planting of cotton in the past, and thereby, as I shall prove bv their own scientific evidence, has contributed TO VOTE ON COMMISSION FORM Monroe Council Orders Special Election Held Jan. 30 This book is by the author of "The American Government'. r-hich was read by millions of Americans, and still holds the re-cord as the world's best seller among all works of its kind.
