Judge Sanders viii Again Pass
on Sunday Violations.
Stated Today He Had Done 1t Many
Times Already Since He Be-
came Judge.
OTHER POLICE COURT NOTES

Judge Sanders this morning in po-
lice court called the cases for Sunday
violation and passed them until next
Saturday, when he will render, de-
cision, and settle the question for all
time to come. Those docketed were:
Pete Rogers, Robert Wilson, Ed Far
ley and son, Nick Schmidt and w. B.
Mcpherson.
All pleaded guilty except Farley
and Son. Judge Sanders in q few
comments said that the questions in
volved had already been settled by
him number of times, but that he
would decide them again Saturday,
and he hoped once for ali. He said in
his previous decisions he had cited de-
cisions and opinions galore. and init
mated that he hoped such cases will
never bob up again after his decision
Saturday.
1t is not known how he will decide,
but is thought that the court will hold
as before, that anything that is me-
cessity or perishable may be sold on
Sunday.
Prosecuting Attorney Gilbert said
that the courts had decided that even
cigar may be a necessity, and that so
far as selling bread and such things is
concerned, it is all foolishness to claim
that they cannot be sold.
He related an incident that occurred
in his own neighborhood last Sunday.
A man wanted some bread, and the
tgrocer refused to sell HIM any, on ao-
count of the orders received to close
everything. He always bought bread
at the store and consequently had no
flour at home. He finally went to At
torney Gilbert's house and appealed
to him, and he offered to entertain
him and his family at his own home.
As the citizens wife was ill, however,
he was forced to decline, but Attor-
ney Gilbert finally went to the grocer
and told him the bread was q necessi-
ty, and he had to buy 1t. He prom
ised If q warrant was issued he, the
attorney, would ask that it be dis
missed, aud on this promise the gro
Ger finally sold the bread.
such things as this are utter fool
ishness," declared MIR. Gilbert today.
Judge Sanders decision Saturday will
be awaited with great interest. II is
not generally believed that he will
hold that cigars cannot be sold ON
Sunday.
A number of warrants that it was
intended to issue yesterday will not
be issued at present. They were all
for selling cigars, and test case is to
be made of the Mcpherson case before
any other warrants are issued.
Charles Leverter and Kate Powell,
colored, were fined 81 and costs today
for drunkenness.
Doc jackson was fined SIS and costs
for breach OF the peace.
A warrant against will Strickland
for presenting pistol was dismissed.
A case against Will Taylor, colored,
was continued until Thursday.
The case against Charles Sheater,
brought back yesterday from Caruth-
ersville, NO., for obtaining money by
false pretenses, was continued until
Thursday.
The case against Mr.. l.. A. Lago-
marsino for selling on Sunday was set
/ for THURSDAY.

DR.. Mccormack is Appointed
National Organizer.
Doctors Of America to Make an
Effort to Secure Needed
Legislation.
MUCH GOOD Is EXPECTED

The appointment Of DIR. J. N. No
Cormaok, secretary Of the state board
of health. as national organizer of the
American Medical association is con-
sidered an evidence of the strength of
that organization, which has grown
with wonderful rapidity since the in
auguration of the movement for a bet.
ter and q more solid association of the
physicians of the United States, begun
two years ago.
DR.. Mccormack will go to Texas
next month to organize . state ascot
alton and county associations in that
state. and will follow up this work in
other western states.
An ultimate purpose is to have con-
gress establish department Of health.
the secretary of which will be cabi.
net officer, instead of having the ma.
tional health department under the
charge OF bureau of the Treasury de-
partment, the marine hospital service.
In order to accomplish this purpose
the county medical association has
been made the unit Of organization.
No physician can be member of the
state association who is not a member
| 90 sor,a oo,ptv as.oo; N <,o, .,a M ,nr
man can be in the national association
who does not belong to the state or
ganization. The effect OF this move
ment hal already been marvellous; Il
has brought about condition of har
mony in states where there were be-
fore two state organizations; it ba,
transformed the national association
from loose and imperfectly organ
lied body into a representative con
gress of the physicians of the nation
ana has had much to do in ending the
quarrels of sectarianism in the profes
sion.
The American Medical association
and the state and county associations
under it make no distinction between
the sects or schools of medicine. sllo
paths, eclectic or homeopathic physioi
ans all being taken into membership.
Consequently the code of ethics which
has been the law of the regular" ply
sicians will be abrogated so far as il
prohibits the consultation with doc
tors of other sects, clause of the cod,
which has never been held to when
circumstances required its disobedi
ence.
The national association has pur
chased and paid for large office build
ing in Chicago, it publishes weekly
journal which has circulation of 26,
900, and in many other ways hal
manifested its growing strength.
DIR. Mccormack will organize asso
Citations IN those states which are moi
already organiz ed, and where the exist
ing associations have not been fully
informed of the benefits of the new
plan.
