Wanted as Naval Sailors.

Since the arrival Of the U. S.
training ship Mohican on Monday,
the report has gone abroad that
natives are wanted as sailors on
board, and particularly Hawaiian
boys. 1t is reported taat Capt.
Cowden, during the course Of con-
versation with Captain Merry, the
commandant of the naval station,
stated that he is desirous OF enlist
ing number Of Hawaiian boys and
giving them training on board his
vessel. Captain Merry is enthusias.
tic over the matter, and hopes that
the opportunity will be grasped by
many native boys who are undecid-
ed as to what particular career they
shall follow, now that the time has
arrived for them to be doing some
thing for themselves. Captain Mer-
ry has great opinion OF the Ha-
waiians as sailors, and thinks that
Captain Cowden furnishes a unique
chance for them to show what they
are made Of.
Here is now an opportunity given
to young Hawaiians to join the
training ship Mohican as appren-
tices. Captain Cowden is anxious
to try the experiment by adding a
dozen Hawaiian boys to his training
ship. How many are there among
our unemployed young men willing
to accept and try the experiment
now offered and proposedl

The Telephone Wire Bill.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There is now on the Senate Calendar H.
X Dill 1850, ostensibly for putting the
electric wires underground, which all want
done; but careful examination of the bill
as amended and favorably reported in the
Senate shows that if passed it will give
the present telephone company an absolute
monopoly for all time in the District.
1t certainly is one of the bodest and most
adroit schemes ever attempted in Congress-
especially in view of the fact that for four
years the company has refused absolutely
to comply with the law Of Congress fixing
the rate. 1 do not believe that twenty
members Of the House had any real idea
or understanding Of what the bill contains
or it certainly would not have been passed
as It was.
The Senate report urges its passage for
the reason that some 200 citizens want tele-
phone service who cannot now get 1t. That
may be true, but is that any reason for
conferrmg on the company the eXtraordi-
nary privileges conferred by the bill in its
present shape? All who want the service
should have it. and it is perfectly easy for
Congress to enable the company to give it
to them, by authorizing or requiring the
company to extend its conduits the same
as the gas company does its mains That
would also keep the wires underground, as
they ought to be everywhere.
This Senate report, No. 1720 as another
reason TOT passing the bill, says that
four or five years ago the average rate for
telephones was 500; that now it is SEQ.
the minimum being $36-without any expla-
nation that this lower rate is for several
phones on one line. 1t also says that ..as
the volume Of business increases the aver
age will be reduced AS l recall II. the
company commended before the court that
every increase in the number of subscribers
increased the actual expense per phone of
the service to the company. 1t is obvious
that one or the other of these Statements
must be false-they cannot both be true.
If the contention of the company is true.
then this statement in the report cannot be
true; and If the report is correct, then It is
perfectly clear that the continuous high
charge by the company was an imposition
on the public. II. as stated in the report,
the number Of phones in use increased in
four or five years from $500 to 6.OOO,
then according to the above theory the
company could well afford to comply with
the act of Congress fixing the rate at $50,
instead Of which the company contended
that it would not cover the cost. Indeed, II
the statement in the report is correct the
company would have made more money by
complying with the act. for had 1t done
90 II doubtless would now have 10000 in
stead of 6000 subscribers.
The fact Is. this bill 10 cunningly devised

cially arranged for this occasion.
Following this exhibition a dress parade
of the Engineer Corps will take place. A
business meeting will occur tonight.
At the future business meetings papers
containing scientific and practical sugges-
tons will be presented.
Informal Reception rendered.
In the banquet hall of the New Willard
last evening informal reception was
held, where the army surgeons Of America
and those of other nations exchanged greet
ings and pleasantries prior to the conven-
ton of the following day! The appearance
of the bright uniforms Of the French, Eng
lish, japanese and Mexican armies blended
with those of the army and navy Of the
United States formed an attractive scene
as the representatives OF, the different coun-
tries mingled in groups about the large
hall. The British army was represented at
the reception by Col. Exham. Capt. Te-
mora and Medical Inspector Kimura rep
resented Japan. Prof. -Niemier brought
greetings from France, owhile the medical
department of the Mexican army was rep
resented by Col. q. r. Moline.
The reception lasttnight was attended by
officers Of the United States army and navy
from stations in nearly all parts Of the
country, as we'll as - large number of Ma
tfonal Guard ofhcerss Music was furnished
during the evening, by an orchestra from

At this point in the program General Hen
derson introduced Lieut. Col. John Van
Rensselaer, Hoff president of the associa-
ton. who delivered his annual address, TAX
ing for his subject, The Broader Mission
of Our Association" Brigadier General
Blood presided during the delivery of the
address.
The president said he considered it
great honor to have been elected to the
pCsition of president of the Association of
Military Surgeons of the United States, in
succession TO a Sem. a Sternberg and
Gihon He welcomed the delegates from
foreign countries fraternally and gave
brief outline of the program prepared for
the convention.
The speaker briefly gave interesting sta
tistics of the association during the year,
reporting that 2o2 new names had been
added to the roll. making the total mem
bership 142. while there was a balance In
the treasury amounting to 81 ,301 .O6. He
complimented the local committee ar
engagements and especially Major Hender-
son, under whose supervision the arrange
ments have been perfected, and he spoke
words OF praise for the other and special
committees which have provided the spe
cial features of the convention. In refer
ring to the aims and objects of the associa-
ton and what 1t has accomplished he said:
To-day the attention of our legislators is
being directed toward the Matchmaking of
our state forces. Are the medical depart
mentS or these ready TO aSSlmllate! Have
they reached the standard set for them by
our honored founder in his memorable adj
dress? Some Of state guards have
medical departments that leave little to be
desired-but how many?
II find by reference to the latest returns
that the organized militia numbers liz. 749,
of which 9O2 pertain to the medical depart
ment, including hospital and ambulance
corps, about eight-tenths of per cent less
than one-half of what 1t should be for the
most advanced line of assistance, leaving
entirely out of consideration everything
from there back to the base hospital, all Of
which would require not less than six times
the total number of men now In the medical
departments of the state forces. Are the
medical departments of all states organized
on Identical lines? Are their medical Off
GERS members of distinct corps? Or do
they in some states yet lfnger, superfluous
appendages to the regimental commander
to be made or broken at his whim? And as
to equipment-is that uniform? Instruction
is that the same? acquisitions, reports,
returns, regulations-do they correspond?
Turning to the regular establishments the
association here also has a mission. 1t must
demand of their personnel, both commits
stoned and enlisted, the highest degree Of
| efficiency; it must see that their organiza-
| ton and equipment are as perfect, II not
more perfect, than those of any other ma
| ton; 1t must provide a means, through our
| medical schools, for the dissemination of
knowledge of military sanitation in the
] profession at large, SO that every physician
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-06-05

will know something of the work of the
medical officer.
.'One of it's most important duties is to
see that a public medical school Is estab-
lished in which shall be educated those who
are to become members of the three public
medical services. Such a school should be
organized in this city in connection with a
great military hospital. To 1t should be
nominated medical cadets exactly as are
cadets to West Point or Annapolis. Here
the enlisted force for the Hospital Corps
should receive preliminary training for
their important duties. In connection with
the hospital should be a training school for
women nurses for duty at fixed hospitals,
and here special courses could be arranged
for medical officers of the National Guard.
What wonderful influence for good would
such an institution develop.
And last but not least the association
must formulate plans by which private aid
may be made to supplement, not supersede.
the public services in time of war or other
stress. But beyond these things, important
they are the association offers to the
military humanitarians of the world an
opportunity to meet on common ground and
cooperate in formulating methods for the
mitigation of what must always be the
horrors Of war We see the beginning Of
this today in the presence of distinguished
representatives OF the medical departments
of foreign armies, gathered from all quar-
tiers of the globe, and may we not hope
that through them and their successors the
good influences of this association will be
extended to the uttermost parts Of the
earth?
Originated by civil practitioners to i'm
prove the efficiency Of the medical depart
ment of the state forces, year by year the
association has broadened its lines until it
embraces in it's membership not only the
medical officers-past and present-of the
National Guard and volunteers, but of the
army, the navy and marine hospital serv-
ices as well. Even more. our doors are now
opened to the medical officers of the armies
of all nations"
Prize and Medal Awarded.
The business meeting was called to order
by President Hoff promptly at 1 o'clock.
and the session was devoted to reading the
reports of officers and standing commit
tees A large number Of the delegates were
in attendance and few ladies were OBJ
served in the audience.
One Of the principal features Of the ses-
sion was the awarding of the Emo Sander
prize, consisting of 500 in gold and a gold
medal, to Lieutenant Colonel Valery Hav-
ard, U. S. A., whose thesis on 1.-THE Most
Practical Organization for. the Medical De-
partment of the United States Army in
Active Service" was decided by the board
submitted in the competition.
In the presentation of reports Major JAS

Notes Of the Convention.
DR.. Ed. Wallace Lee of New York, for
merly surgeon general of the Nebraska Ma
ttonal Guard, is attending the convention.
DR.. Lee will be remembered as one of the
physicians attending President Mckinley
at Buffalo. His prognosis at the time of
the shooting aroused considerable COM
nent in surgical circles, he predicting at
the time that President Mckinley could not
survive the effects Of the wound.
An interesting exhibit Of surgical instru-
ments and appliances from the various
manufactures of the country is displayed
at the armory Of the Washington Light In
fantry, at 18th and E streets northwest.
The exhibit will be open during the three
days session of the convention from am.
till 10 pm, and all the physicians of the
city, as well as those attending the con-
vention, are invited to inspect the instru-
ments.
Owing to an extra number Of business
meetings, the president of the association
has decided that the reception at the Sol
diers' Home, planned for tomorrow after
noon will necessarily be abandoned.
Among those occupying boxes at the OPEN
Ing exercises at the New National Theater
this morning were Mrs. Sternberg, Mrs.
