New York. —Mrs. Bernard Morris of 2376 Eighth avenue left her son Philip, fifteen months old, and her daughter Helen, two years old, lying in four inches of water in the bathtub while she went into another room. In a few moments she heard the little girl scream. Rushing into the bathroom, she found the bahy floating face downward in the water. Thinking the baby had only turned over, the mother dried him carefully and put him in his cradle. FOr several minutes she sang and rocked the baby, and then, seing he was quiet, she put her hand on the child’s face. It was cold. Doctor Rosehbluth of the Harlem hospital, who was summoned, said the child was drowned.
