GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM
REGULAR PHYSICIANS MAKE
WAR ON QUACKs.
Non-Qualified Practitioners of Medi-

cine to Be Vigorously Prose-
cuted by the Regulars.
Special Correspondence The Evening S.nr.

NEW YORK, April "a, 1902
The recent death sf a child in so-called
sanitarlum, and the unanimous sentiment
expressed at the last meeting of the Socie-
" OF Medical Jurisprudence that something
shoulo pe done to prevent non-qualified per-
sons from practising medicine have drawn
pupNc attention to the large number of i'm
postors VINO are at present fourishng in
New York city. While the discussion at the
Society of Medical Jurisprudence con-
demned Christian Scientists, yet these, 1t is
asserted, are by far the least Objectionable
OF the many non-qualified practitioners. The
sentiments expressed at this meeting were
not SO much opposed to the theories held
by Christian Scientists as against the prac-
tlce OF medicine by persons wholly ignorant
or medical science, and who have not spent
a certain number of years in study. Among
the worst forms of these unqualified healers
are the osteopaths somatopaths vitapaths,
naturopaths, nature curers and very many
others, all of whom do fourishng bust
ness. Ihe Medical Society of the county of
New York has taken a strong position on
TINS subject. 1t does not find the law In
adequate to prosecute unqualified practi-
tloners or medicine, and for some time past
mas Deen doing very useful work in this
direction. The socety's lawyers are now in
the middle of a successful crusade against
the worst forms of quackery in this city.
New York has officially sanctioned the at
tempts to be made to establish new mile
straightaWay automobile worlds records on
May 81. The aldermen have voted unani-
mously on the South Side boulevard on Sta
ten Island for that day to enable the Au-
tomobile Club of America, under whose
auspices the trials will be run, to gather
the fastest machines that America can pro-
duce to go against imported makes of es
tablished speed repute in what will doubt
less be the greatest effort of it's kind the
automobile world has yet seen. The course
selected is dead-level, straightaway
stretch, of which two miles and half will
pc used in the trials-a mile for headway
and half mile for slowing down. Ameri-
can machines have improved since last sea-
son as much in speed as they have undis-
putedly In appearance and endurance. Mr.
Nlnton in recent interview said it would
be mere question of nerve and skill on the
part of the chauffeurs as to the time that
would be made. His new racer will be in
the trials, and SO will all the crack import
ed flyers of whose feats great things have
been told. 1t seems certain that when Four
n1er returns to this country toward the end
of June he will find that new and far lower
figures have supplanted his world record

To Repeal Bankruptcy Law.

Four Of the democratic members of the
House committee on judiciary have united
In minority report on the bill amending
the bankruptcy law. The report favors the
repeal of thu entire law and says: I'VE do
not believe there is any necessity or any
general public demand for the longer reten

the federal courts with litigation which
could be just as well conducted by the
courts of the states" A substitute is oro-

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Conferees Decided to Report Disagree

The conferees on the Chinese exclusion
bill have decided to report a disagreement
to each house. The point of difference Is
the date as to when the law shall extend, the
House contendng for an indefinite period
and the Senate being equally firm in insert

life of the. treaty.
The House conferees have held out at the
earnest request of the California delegation

reached. The Senate conferees announced

Dear Sir: In answer to your in.
quiry Of November 20, President

opinion there would be 10 menace to
the morals of students in the state

mere seclusion offers as good moral
safeguard as is to be found in the
steady upholding Of high idsals OF

enter at the end of their college
course. Very truly yours,
