MEDICAL SUPERVISORS
INVOKE AID OF POLICE
Asked to Report in Cases of
Doubtful Licenses.
LETTER TO COMMISSIONERS
Dr.. Custis Explains That the Board, Al
though Instructed to Prosecute,
Cannot Discover Cases.

The board Of medical supervisors.
through its president, DR.. J. b. Gregg
Custis. has requested the Commissioners
TO issue an order requiring the police
department to bring to the attention
of the Corporation Counsel all cases in
which it appears that a license to prac-
tice medicine or midwifery in the Dis
trict Of Columbia should be revoked
Commissioner Macfarland, who has
charge Of this department. has referred
the matter to the Corporation Coun-
sci, with request for an opinion as TO
the proposed plan of procedure. and any
suggestions that Nigh. aid in the exc
Cutior Of the law in question
DR.. Custis claims that although the
board Of medical spervisors is in
struct5d to prosecute such cases where
it appears that the license should be
revoked, it has no way of discovering the
cases originally. It has acted in many
cases where complaints have been ma lc
to 1t, but il is contended that there are
many cases where a doctor or midwife
should be denied the right to practice
in the District. when no formal com
plant has been made.

Drifted From Havana.

The boy said that he. with two others,
were fishing outside the harbor Of Ha-
vana when the boat became adrift and
they were unable to row II ashore.
Seeing that the land was rapidly reced-
ing, two of the boys swan ashore. He
could not swim and was Obliged to drift
with the boat. He says he was adrift
five days.
Captain Prescott says it would be i'm
possible for the boat to drift the dis
tance from Havana. about $50 miles, in
six days, but believes the boy must have
been adrift ten days. All this time he
was without food or water. His skin
was peeled off in many places by The
action of sun and water. boils covered
his legs. and the little body had dwin-
died away until he was skeleton.

AUXILIARY TAKES UP
ROUTINE BUSINESS
Project Of Home for Print

FAVORED BUT NOT ACTED ON
Resolution Providing Aid for Children
at Christmas Voted Down by
Convention.

The third session of the WOman's In
ternationaI Auxiliary to the Interna-
tioual Typographical Union was held in
auxiliary headquarters this morning in
The Ebbitt House, and was taken up
with the transaction of routine business.
The most interesting event Of the ses-
sion was the introduction OF a resolution
by Mrs. Waudby, of New York. provid-
ing that some action be taken by the
wOman's auxiliary toward the construc-
tion of an annex to the Printers Home,
in Colorado Springs, for the benefit of
printers wives,
Project Voted Down.
This matter took up some time. and
was discussed at length. It was finally
decided that on account of the youth of
the international auxiliary and the con-
dition of the finances 1t would be i'm
possible for il to take definite action.
This resolution was followed by one
requesting that help be extended the
children of printers at Christmas. This,
too, was lost, but with. the recon-
mend&tiOn that each local auxiliary do

ing them responsible instead of depend
ing upon the international auxiliary.
At the meeting yesterday S25 was do
mated by the Washington local aux
iliary toward defraying the expenses of
the international officers when on con-
ventiOn tours. At the meeting today
this offer was declined. with thanks,
on account of the fact that all the
auxiliary had shared the expenses OF
the officers and that to receive the
donation would simply be taking money
from the local auxiliary and putting it
into the treasury of the international
body.
VIII Adhere to Principles.
Mrs. Matthews. Of Omaha. introduced
a resolution to have a referendum vote
for the officers of the auxiliary. This
resolution was lost and it was decide
10 adhere to the bylaws in this respect
The election OF officers will in al
probability come up tomorrow.
There was much discussion of the fight
for the union label.
The Washington auxiliary reported
that It's progress has been gratifying
Many minor resolutions were INTRODUCED
but either laid on the table or lost en-.

The auxiliary will meet at a. m. to-

The meeting closed promptly at noon
and the delegates together with the

A Ruling Asked for.

Such cases often come before the at
tention of the Police Department, but
there has been no ruling compelling that
department to notify the supervisors
1t is this ruling that Dr.. Custis has
asked for and Commissioner Macfarland
has approved. DR.. Custis' letter follows
in part:
'By the law the board of medical SUI
pervisors is authorized to act as a
tribunal for the determination of such
cases as may come before it on charges
duly filed for that purpose. But the
function of the board being judicial. the
board is presumably precIuded from
either collecting evidence or from for
mulating or prosecuting charges tat
least in cases in which such charges 10
not grow out of examinations directly
under the supervision of the board), and
In the absence OF a definite plan of pro-
cedure conduct which might be pun
ished and the repetition of which should
certainly be prevented if possible, is
allowed to pass without notice.
THE enactment of those provisions of
the medical practice act which authorize
the revocation of licenses was intended
to protect person. property. and reputa-
tlon in this District, and therefore there
was apparently no reason why the ma
chinery which had already been estab-
lished by law for the protection of per-
son. property, and reputation generally.
should not protect them specially in the
manner thus provided The very failure
of the law to provide special executive
machinery for the administration OF
! these provisions, while special judicial
machinery was provided for that pur-
pose. may be accepted as indicating an
intention on the part of Congress that.
from an executive standpoint, such pro
visions should be administered through
the executive machinery already pro-
vided-that is, the Office of Corporation
Counsel and the Police Department.
Corporation CounsePs Aid Desired.
IN view of the foregoing facts. the
board Of medical supervisors respect
fully recommends that the Major and
Superintendent of Police be instructed
10 bring to the attention of Corporation
Counsel every case which may come TO
| the knowledge of the Police Department
!
or OF which that department can by rea-
sonable diligence obtain knowledge. in
which il appears that a license to prac-
/ tice medicine or to practice midwifery
may be refusable or reyokable under
/ the provisions of section 10 of the act
/ to regulate the practice of medicine in
/ this District. The board recommends
further that Corporation Counsel be in
! structed TO formulate present, and
! prosecute charges before the board Of
medical supervisors. and before the
! Court Of Appeals II necessary, in every
case aforesaid which may be brought
| to his attention in which there is. in his
| Judgment. prima facie evidence to war
rant the refusal or revocation Of any
license to practice medicine or to prac-
| tice surgery in this District"

Man at his best is a giant in
strength, and he is superior in en-
durance to any other animal. His
will power may assist him enormous
ly in stress. AS an instance of a
mans endurance, J. Hubbard, man
fifty years of age, walked I24H
miles in II hours and 40 minutes.
An average man generates every
day force of 3,4oo foot tons, that is,
enough to raise 3,4oo tons height
of one foot. Ninety per cent. of
this force is expended in keeping the
body warm. This average may be
exceeded greatly. For instance a
man in running sometimes attains
the rate of 1900 foot pounds a
minute. A man by the name of
Holden swan forty-six miles in
twelve hours. An instance of a
long talk is given by man, Count
Lechter of Austria, who recently
made speech while standing that
took him twelve hours, but most
any woman could beat that.

John D. Bascom, ex-president of
the University of Wisconsin, made
some remarks about rich men at the
meeting of the State Teachers Asso-
cation that do not meet with univer-
sal acceptation. He said institutions
of learning should not accept gifts Of
money from men who secure wealth
by questionable MEANS" referring
especially to John D. Rockefeller
and his donations to the Chicago
University. And he added: "John
D. Rockefeller's dollars have sealed
the lips of every instructor of the
University of Chicago" Some of
the professors Of the Chicago Uni
versity, judging from certain wild
assertions they have made, need to
have their lips censored, but not ex-
actly in the line suggested by Mr..
Bascom. The "theories" of some
college men do not harmonic with
practical common sense. Exchanges,
in discussing the remarks of Mr..
Bascom, and inclined to accept his
structures as logical, call attention to
the fact that Pres. Andrews of
Brown University was asked to
resign on account of his peculiar
views on The currency question and
a professor in the Leland Stanford
University was dismissed on account
of teaching doctrine not acceptable
to the managers. The inference
these papers draw is that these men
were superseded in these institutions
because their views were distasteful
to the benefactors of the institutions
in which they were instructors.
| This is a narrow and prejudiced
view. The fact was that both the
men referred to were making them
selves offensive by the conspicuous
ness given to their peculiar fads.
The popularity of their doctrines,
expressed under such circumstances,
occasioned discomfort and factious-
ness among the students. These
professors had injured their chances
to be useful to the students and they
were asked on sound business prin-
! ciples to step aside.

If Rockefeller's dollars had sealed
the lips of every professor in the
University of Chicago as EXPIRES.
Bascom says, Prof. Stage would
not have made the break: 'Spain
has treated her barbarous colonies
better than any other nation and the
Filipinos were better off under
Spanish rule than under American.
Prexy Gates of Iowa college made
statement about as sensible as the
above Stagg remark when he de-
clared: "There is no dishonorable
peace and there is no honorable
war;" Some of these college men
are little Eighty. They get above
the solid ground of facts.
