holding Barker. but declared that he could con-
meet the negro with tho crime
Barker was one 81 those near the spot at the
time the body was found and seemed over

If he could not aid them. His offers were re-
fused but a close watch was kept Of his move
ments. He lives in the colored settlement at

frauds Colonel Charles II. Burton. formerly In
spector General OF the Division of Cuba, testi-
fed TO having made investigation OF the
Cuban Postal Department. during which he had
found Irregularities in the Auditors office.
showing double credits amounting TO $4,000.
Colonel Burton said that his examination OF
the books of c. F. W. Neely disclosed the prob
able embezzlement OF $4,000 during the months
OF January, February and March. 1900. and
total embezzlement of about 100000 since July
1899. He said this estimate of defalcation was
made from the report OF the amount paid in by
Cuban postmasters and the amount Neely had
deposited TO the credit Of the Department of
Posts. Colonel Burton testified that he had
asked Estes G. Rathbone about the burning of
the stamps and that Rathbone had told him
that he had talked the matter over with Gen.
eraI John r. Brooke. former Military Governor
of Cuba, who had consented thereto. Colonel
Burton further said that General Brooke had
told him that Rathbone had not spoken 10 him
about this matter. Colonel Burton admitted
that Rathbone had the right TO burn these
stamps without the consent of General Brooke.
Cross-eXamined by Seniors Desvernne and
Lanuza, counsel for Rathbone Colonel Burton
said he had bought carriage from the insular
funds, and had put in bathtub and heater
in his private house, payment for which was
also made from the insular funds. and that
other army officers had done the same. He said
he thought he was entitled to a carriage from
the insular funds. but that he had only the
verbal authorization OF General Chaffee for
these expenditures. Colonel Burton said Rath-
bone had rank in the army, but that he held
a high official position
Mr. Carter. the disbursing officer, was recalled
TO the stand and said that none of Rathbone's
private bills had been paid from the postal re-
ceipts.

AGAINST OSTEOPATHY BILL.
THE EASTERN MEDICAL SOCIETY HOLDS
THAT THIS SYSTEM RANKS WITH
PALMISTRY.

The Eastern Medical Society OF the City of New
York, at special meeting last night the Edu-
cational Alliance, voiced its objections to the SEN
ate bill legalizing the practice Of osteopathy. DR.
r Abraham presided. The resolutions were offered
by DR.. w. Z. Gottheil. A committee of two, Dr.
Gotthel and DR.. Simon Marks, was appointed to
present the resolutions to the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the Senate The resolutions follow in part:
, Osteopathy is in no a system or method of
general medical practice speciality there
tn whatever elements of usefulness il may contain
being included in the methods of massage passive
motion, ETC., long employed in suitable cases by
practitioners or by trained attendants and nurses
under their supervision
The whole tendency of medical legislation and
the general policy Of medical associations and
jeges In the State have been in the direction of
creasing the education and training required of in
6ivtduels licensed to care for the lives and health
OF Its citizens; so that good preliminary educa-
tion; four separate years Of medical study and a
final examination by the State very prop
srly required. The bill in question gives posi-
courses in osteopathy, which is not medicine or a
branch of It. the right TO treat diseases possibly
contagious, to attend women in childbirth and to
give birth and death certificates The legalization
pf osteopathy would largely nulfy all the medical
legislation of recent years.
The so-called osteopathy is irrational as to be
quite unworthy Of serious consideration by those
qualified to judge Of its merits and its proper place
Us apparently with palmistry and similar ''sci-
encs that designed for the exploitation Of the
public.
