Bank Officials Take Means to Protect

1t Is said by a police official at City

England'S first experiment of this kind
dates from 1850 when the directors Of
the bank listened TO a startling PROPOSE

The laborer told the directors that ne

women on the streets is too sweeping

sagely. Bad manners are primarily

garnished with two white doves wings

CALIFORNIA TO HAVE A
NEW MEDICAL SOCIETY

California is to have new medical So
ciety. This was definitely decided last
night at a meeting of a committee ap-
pointed for the purpose of considering the
advisability of such action in the office
of DR.. D. a. Hodgehead. The members
of the committee are Drs. G. +. Buckley,
w F. McNutt, S. f. Long, c. H. Rosen-
thai, j. A Miller, Winslow Anderson and
D. A. Hodgehead of San Francisco and
e 4. Henderson of Napa and Il. w. King
of Ukiah, Mendocno County. All were
present al the meeting with the exception
of DR.. McNutt, who is travelling in Eu-
rope.
DIR. Buckley presided and it was the
sense of the committee that new society
should at once be formed, to be incorpor-
ated as soon as practicable, the name of
the society to be the California Medical
Association. 1t was also decdede that the
new society should conform to the code
of ethics of the American Medical SocI-
ETY. and instead of issuing an annual vol
subscription to which, together with the
membership fee in the association to not
exceed SO year. 1t is proposed to hold
the first annual meeting in October next
and to meet in that month each succeed
ing year.
The committee will report its concu-
sions III the matter to the San Francisco
Clinical Society, which is the instgator
Of the movement, tonight and it Is ex-
through the plan will be at once taken.
The movement to organize new State
society of medicos is the result of fac
tional quarrel in the ranks of the exist
ing organization. which has caused many
members to withdraw.

There is no legal reason why Blanche

they are the two people who are in the

should be accepted as final Our Blanche
took the report of her marriage to her
manager in her own charming, sunny
way. If she was annoyed she did not
show it, only laughed and exclaimed
Ridiculous; absurd
Frawley, on the contrary, was Vexed al
the silly report; not on his own account
but because of Miss Bates.
It's annoying for woman, sald the
gallant manager, Ito have lying repor'
of that kind circulated about her. Corsor
Clarke's aggravated stomach trouble mas
probably gone to his head That is the
only way I can account for it.
Miss Bates explains the slander by
Clarke's desire to get his name before
the public. There is nothing he coulo
say of himself, so he stood sponsor 1ol
lies about others" said Miss Bates.
So the story of the manager wedding MS
star is not true, nor is there any possl-
bility of it ever being true, for the man
