REPUBLICANS HOPE TO

Senator Hanna's Name Prominent as
a Member of the Committee on
Finance

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The Repuoh-
can members OF the Senate probably VIII
hold a caucus Tuesday afternoon next 10
make provision for the organization OF the
committees. There are many vacancies
on committees caused by the retirement or
Senators. These will be filed and in the
cases where Republicans are in the MI
nortty OF committees steps will be taken
10 change the membership so as 10 give
them control
Having so clear majority OF the mem
hers of the Senate, the Republicans are
disposed to assert their privilege of con-
trolling committee work throughout.
The general interest in the committee
changes centers in the Committee on
Finance. There are two vacancies in that
COMMITTEES caused by the retirement OF
Senator Turpie OF Indiana and White Of
California, and the Republican Senator'S
insist on filling both.
The friends of Senator Hanna are urg-
ing his election for one OF the places.
The probabilities are that the detailed
work OF filling the committees will be
delegated TO a committee and that no &C,
tual changes will be made for several
days, or possibly weeks.

Sequel of Hospital
Scandals.
A PRETTY QUARREL BREWING
A Mass-Meeting to Be Held This
Afternoon, at Which Some Ex-

A PRETTY QUARREL BREWING

There will be a mass meeting OF the
French Society held at Native Sons Hall
on Mason street at l O'Clock this after
noon TO investigate the recent action OF
the administration committee OF the
French Hospital, which resulted in that
body declaring the position OF visiting
physician. recently held by DR.. Oscar J.
Mayer, vacant.
Behind this action OF the administration
committee lies as pretty medical squao-
BILE as one would wish TO see.
According to the story OF those opposed
to DR.. Mayer that gentleman has been
guilty OF the very unprofessional con-
duct OF first stealing a case from DIR.

TAFT.
According to DR.. Mayer, this is all bosh.
He claims he has been the unfortunate
victim OF a conspiracy instigated by the
jealousy of DR.. TAFT and the animosity
of Vice President Chartery, and that Dt.
Rodgers has been used as a tool by these
two gentlemen to further their own re-
venge.

was an exception TO the general rule un-
til DIR. TAFT was elected as his collabora-

frequent chickering's and rows that have

position and calling for vindication at the
hands of the society in mass meeting as
sembed tomorrow afternoon.

the latter part OF September, woman
was brought TO the hospital suffering
from an aggravated case of peritonitis.
She was brought In as the patient OF DR..
Nathan Rodgers, by whom she had been
previously attended AS soon as she had
been admitted to the hospital she ex-
pressed a desire TO discharge her former
medical adviser and substitute DR.. Mayer.
To this proposition DR.. Mayer objected
and the matter was finally arranged by
Drs. Mayer and Rodgers together attend
ing the woman.
Finally IL became necessary to perform
an operation, and DR.. Mayer was the ply
scian chosen TO do the work by the
woman, DIR. Rodgers agreeing TO assist
Rodgers did not turn up and DR. Mayer
performed the operation by himself
The woman subsequently died leaving
a will in which she appointed Mayer to
administer her estate without bonds.
Shortly after the woman's demise DR..
Mayer was called into the presence of

him for unprofessional conduct by DIR.

coming excited. struck his fist violently

given an opportunity to explain the cir

not allowed to do and the meeting re-
suited in the physician leaving the room
without any satisfactory conclusion being
arrived at by the committee who sat with
Chartery.
DIR. Mayer heard nothing further OF the
matter until he received q letter several
weeks ago notifying him that he had
been discharged from his position as
visiting physician 10 the hospital because
OF the supplementary and discourteous
