WILL CONFESS, Alleged "Medical" Frauds in New York to be Ended. New York, April "26.--Police au- thorities said to-day that one of the fifty-four operators of medical mus- eums and thdir assistants, arrested here yesterday in one of the most sweeping raids upon alleged medical | imposters ever conducted in this city, had promised to appear in court to- day and make a confession. His statement, the police asserted, will reveal the workings of a system of national scope for extorting money by fraudulent physicians and false methods of diagnosis. , The chief operator of the museums under arrest here is alleged by the police to have accumulated a fortune of more than $1,000,000 by operat- ing a chain of medical offices, with free museums as "feeders," in New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Pittsburg and half a dozen other cities. Mrs. Marian Clarke, Investigator of | the State Department of Labor, esti- mated that fraudulent physicians have collected $500,000 a year from "patients" in this city. Most of this came from poor people and aliens, who could not speak English. More than a hundred witnesses, the police said, are ready to testify that they have been swindled in fraudulent medical institutes. Chief' Magistrate McAdooy before whom the prisoners were arraigned, faid: "The work of these men must be checked or it will lead to dreadful consequences,' Included among the prisoners was Henry J. Schierson, who was said by George W. Whiteside, attorney for the county medical society, to be one of the largest operators of medical | I institutes in the United States, with offices throughout the country. All the museums raided have been closed by the pelice, pending the hearing of the cases on April 28. Maintaining a public nuisance is the charge against most of the prisoners.

A large number of the insane prisoners have been taken away as it is the inten- tion to do away with the asylam at this institutica. CHILD'S SAD DEATH. Fell From High Chair and Fractured | Its Skull.
