MODERN TRADE
Doctor and Undertaker Work
Hand in Hand to the Profit
of Both.
New York, Jail. 15.—Although
the wags and cut-ups of this
world have tried to suggest a
collusion between doctors and un
dertakers by way of a merry
wheeze, the first authentic case of
a financial compact between those
supposedly distinct professions
came to light here yesterday when
Dr. Ignatz Schwartz and Under
taker Frank Winter appeared in
Harlem police court to air their
mutual grievances.
They were arrested following a
fistic engagement in Winter’s
obituary emporium, during which
Dr. Schwartz found occasion to
fall out of a window and land on
his neck in a snow drift, an act,
he claimed, prompted by Winter’s
40-horse power feet.
The cause of (he row, it ap
peared, was I)r. Schwartz’ demand
on Winter for $15 commission on
an embalming and interment job
he had given him. Schwartz’ pa
tient had died and the doctor,
rushing to the telephone, had put
Winter on the job at once. Win
ter paid him $5, and refused to
make it more and the fight fol
lowed.
Magistrate Freschi discharged
both prisoners, but not without
the observation, addressed to
Schwartz: “You are a tine doc
tor, a credit to your noble profes
sion. If I ever hear of you claim
ing a rake-off for steering a
corpse into an undertaker’s shop,
I will sic my dog on you."
Ohio River Still Rising.
Cincinnati, ()., Jan. 15.—The
Ohio river is sixty-one and nine
tenths feet and still rising. Dan
ger of floods is still imminent.
Senator Borah Returned.
Boise, Jan. ib.—Senator Borah
was elected on the lirst ballot by
the legislature in separate ses
sion.
The steamer Yukon left Seward
this morning at 10 o’clock with
Deputy Armstrong and ten wit
nesses in the Afognak election
fraud cases aboard. The vessel
should arrive here tomorrow
morning.
John Zug, of the road commis
sion in the Fairbanks section, is
in the city compiling his reports
for the past season. During the
year 1912 much work was done in
his division, including consider
able new road work.
Passengers on the Maripso re
port a very pleasant trip up, the
weather being line and no wind
prevailing until Prince William
sound was reached.
T. (i. Quinn, superintendent of
the electric light company, re
turned from a protracted visit to
the states this morning.
Mrs. Thomas Scott returned
from a protracted visit to the
state of Washington on this
morning’s steamer.
Four passengers for the inter
ior will leave on tomorrow morn- i
ing’s stage.
FOUND—A silver-plated pen- |
cil holder with chain attached.
Owner can have same by prov
ing property and paying for this
advertisement.
