HIGHLY INDIGNANT
ARE THESE DOCTORS
Army Reorganization Bill Is
Severely Criticised.
DECLARED INEXCUsABLE

Disciples of He 5culapius, 1t Is Alleged,
Are Disseminated Against-Claimed
Existence of New School of Medicine
Has Been Discovered.
ST. PAUL, June 4-The American
Medical association met in annual ses.
sion in this city today. President Reed
of Cincinnati, in his annual address,
said:
1.-The army reorganization law of the
last congress was inexplicable and mex
cusable. 1t grades the medical depart
ment for rank and promotion, and in
consequence for pay, below every other
department and special corps of the
army, and with the exception of second
heutenants it is graded below the line.
In accordance with its provisions, a
| medical officer, TO obtain a colonelcy,
must pass through three times as many
| trials as an officer Of either the quarter
masters, the subsistence, or the pay de-
partments, more than twice as many as
an officer of the signal corps. The effect
Of this discrimination is not only to
lower the rank and pay of the medical
officers, but must result in lessening the
efficiency Of the corps by repelling men
of spirit and worth.
"When congress by enactment of the
law degrades, relatively, the status of
an important body of medical men en-
gagged IN public service, it strikes at
the status of every physician in the
country.
''It becomes, therefore, the duty of
every member of the medical profession,
jealous of his rights, his prerogatives
and the fair name he may leave his
children, to resent as personal between
himself and every member of congress
who voted for this law the action of
which cast stigma upon our profess
zion.
''Lt has been the opinion of many en-
llghtened members of the medical pro-
fession that the means employed by the
general government for the protection
and promotion of the public health are
capable of improvement. The condi-
t1ons today are precisely the same that
they were ten years ago.
81 proclaim, events proclaim, the ex-
lstence of new school of medicine. 1t
is as distinct from the schools of so years
ago as is the Christian dispensation
from its pagan autecedents. 1t is the
product of convergent influences, of di-
verse antecedent origin. 1t acknowl-
edges no distinctive title, it heralds no
shibboleth. It is school of human toll
erance, of personal independence, of
scientific honesty. 1t makes no procla.
nation of completeness, no pretensions
to sufficiency. 1t recognizes that truth
is undergoing progressive revelation,
not ending today, but continuing
through the ages"

OF STEAMBOATS,
ON THE GREAT LAKES
100 Mile Dash to Decide Speed
Championship.
FROM CLEVELAND TO ERIE

Over 100000 Will Change Hands
as a Result of the Race-Betting Is
Even-Ths Contesting Steamers Are
Evenly Matched.
CLEVELAND, June 4. - Stripped of
everything that would unnecessarily
catch the wind, the two large modern
sidewheel passenger steamers City of
Erie of Cleveland and the Tashmoo of
Detroit lined up this morning for their
great 100 mile dash from Cleveland to
Erie to decide the speed championship
of the great lakes. Steamboat men from
many lake ports gathered to see the con-
test. Special excursion boats from
Cleveland, Toledo, Erie, Buffalo and
smaller ports took large loads of passen-
gers to points along the course Throngs
of curious people also gathered along
the lake shore to atch glimpse of
the racers.
The day dawned bright and clear,
with light southwesterly breeze stir
ring a gentle swell. The harbor was
alive with crafts and the wharves were
black with people, who cheered enthusi-
astlcally as the boats steamed up to the
stake.
Boats Evenly Matched.
Apparently both boats were evenly
matched. The Erie is 324 feet over all
and 78 feet beam, against the Tashmoo's
800 feet length and 20 feet width. The
Erie was built to make fast schedules
between Cleveland and Buffalo under
all conditions and has twice the power
of her rival. The Tashmoo was made
for river work, draws much less water
than the Erie and is built like a cigar,
with sharp tapering Prov.
1t is estimated that over 500, 900 will
change hands as a result of the race.
The betting is even, ranging from small
sums to thousands of dollars. The Cleve-
land and Buffalo Transit company has
posted ST. 900 on the Erie against like
sum put up on the Tashmoo by the
White Star people.
They're OFF!
The Erie crossed the starting line at
9:37:56, the Tashmoo at 9:38:31 Official
time).
Off Nottingham, II miles east, the
Tashmoo led by one length. The Erie
was apparently slowly gaining, how
ever.
Off Fairport, 28 miles east of the
starting line, the City of Erie led by
nearly a quarter of mile.
The racing steamers passed a few
miles off Conneaut harbor at 1916 D. m.
Apparently the City of Erie was then
leading by an eighth of mile. Con-
neat is about 70 miles from Cleveland.
At 1:45 p. m. Erie, Pa, reports that
the boats are within miles of the stake
boat and that the City of Erie appears
to be slightly in the lead.

They Declare Against Liquor Evil In

PITTsBURG, June 4.-There was a full
attendance of delegates when Moderator
Martin opened the sixth days session of
the Reformed Presbyterian Synod of
North America.
After devotional exercises, Rev. r. O.
Allen of Grove City, Pa, presented the
report of the special committee ap-
pointed by the synod to inquire into
evils of the United States army system.
The committee devoted itself more
especially to the drink evil as it exists
in Hawaii and the Philippines It is
said the evil is legalized and protected
by military authorities. They demand
that the system protected by our mill
tary rules be uprooted. The report was
adopted unanimously.
The committee on Sundayschools and
young peoples societies reported reso-
luton which aimed at keeping the So
cieties of the church under it's own con-
troll and as far as possible away from
the influence of the leaders of the inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL societies, many of
whose views on organized labor and
secret societies are against those of the
members Of this synod.

bama Convention.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 4.-Hon.
Hannis Taylor, formerly minister to
Spain, was the principal speaker at the
observance of the birthday of Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis in Montgomery last night.
In conclusion he referred to the
question of debarring the negroes of
Alabama of the right to vote. In speak
ing of the assembled constitutional con-
vention, he said:
81 would say to the council thus as
sembled that Que thing is admitted on
all hands, and that is that asking for
the disfranchisement of the mass of ne
gro voters of undoubted validity can be
devised, provided there is among us a
spirit of patriotic self-sacrifice and self.
abnegation, coupled with the probabil-
ity that few of our own people may be
disfranchised, too.
81 would say That, as much as l prize
the right to vote, myself am willing
to surrender it to the state, only and
forever, if such a sacrifice on my part is
necessary for the common good. Have
I the right to be vain enough to believe
that each enc of you will not be willing
to do the same thing under the same
circumstances? When we contemplate
the terrible consequences of failure, can
we afford to temporize, to hesitate, to
imperil great result, upon which our
very civilization hangs, because we dare
not appeal to a few Of our own people to
make a temporary sacrifice?
"My faith in the people is so firm, SO
absolute, that I could not, at a critical
time like the present, hesitate for mo.
ment to go directly to them. To those
who doubt with the record of your past
before them, can only say in the words
of the Master, 'Oh ye of little faith. 30

How 1t Occurred.
The disaster occurred about 10:45
o'clock this morning
At that time the southern passenger
train from Macon, due in Atlanta at
1O:55, was passing through the yards
near the shops at high rate of speed
On a switch from the main line, To-
Gated at the eastern end of the shops, a
switch engine was standing
AS the passenger was passing the
junction of the switch and the main
line, the switch engine suddenly leaped
backward and into the moving coaches.
The Man In the Cab.
Southern railway officials declare that
the throttle of the switch engine in
some way became unmanageable, and
that the man in the cab was utterly un-
able, through no fault of his own, to
control the ponderous machine.
The man who was in the cab, how
ON6Ls l. d1O OOuuuCGOE OunCdu5 was ar
rested upon the report that he was,
without knowing anything about an en-
gine, playing with it.
The switch engine struck the two last
passenger coaches just about the coup
ling. The force of the blow was SO
great that it reduced the heavy cars to
kindling wood for half their length and
knocked them clear off the track

Those in the coaches who were not
seriously or not at all hurt, aided by
others who came upon the scene, pro-

Seats were torn out of the cars and
pallets improvised from them for the
sufferers upon the ground and on the
floor of the baggage and chair coaches.
