A RETIRED PHYSICIAN
Creates Scene at the American Public Health
 Convention.

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Today's busi- ness session of the American Public Health convention was enlivened by Dr. Albert Gipon, retired medical di- rector of the United States navy and an ex-president of the association, who rose to a question of privilege and criti- cised the official report made by Surgeon P. H. Bai1hache, of the United States Marine Hospital service, to the surgeon general of the United States of the pro- ceedings of the public health conven- tion att Buffalo, last year. A resolution was adopted at the con- vention asking congress to esta blish a department Of public health at Wash ington, and in his report of the adop- tion of this resolution pr Bailhache charges that retired surgeon (Gipon) had influenced the committee to strike out an endorsement of the marine hos pital service.
 Dr. Gipon admitted that he did not favor the marine hospital service but said there were twanty-four other mem- bers on the committee that drafted the resolution, all of whom had minds of their own and were in no way suscep- tible to influs nee.
 The resolution, after full and free dis cussion by the committee, had been ap- proved by the substitute which was ad- opted by the convention.
 Dr. Bailhache, who was present, reit- erated his belief that the committee was influenced by Dr. Gipon, and the matter was then dropped.
