MORE MEMBERS NOT NEEDED
But Better Ones, Says President Of American
Medical Association.
HIGHER GROUND WORK FOR STUDENTS
Majority and Minority Submit Reports
Giving Their Respective Views
ms to the work Of
Medical Colleges.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 4.-The asso-
citation of American Medical College opened
its one day session here this afternoon.
The attendance was large, many Of the
medical men being also delegates to the
annua gathering Of the American Medical
association which begins tomorrow.
DR.. William r.. Rodman OF Philadelphia
president Of the association, in his annual
address said:
Membership in this association has been
entirely too free in the past. What we
need is not more members. but better ones.
The transferring of Students in the midst
OF the term is a practice to be discouraged
In the main for nearly always the student
wishes to change schools during "A term for
reasons altogether selfish and discreditable
TO himself.
The entrance requirements must be
raised; no advanced standing should be
given to anyone with a degree unless It is
demonstrable equivalent to the fresh
mai year in medicine; the session should
be heightened and mid-year examination
should be encouraged.
The association cannot maintain the
respect Of the profession and the several
state boards Of examiners unless II requires
a high school diploma or its equivalent, OF
those wishing matriculation in a medical
college. 1 should prefer to grant advanced
standing only to those who have a specially
fitted themselves for the study of medicine.
FavOrs Seven Months' Term.
DR.. Rodman favored a seven months term
and emphasized the advantage Of mid-year
examinations In writing. The most press
ing and needful reforms at present, he
stated. are an increase in the preliminary
requirements before naturalization with
better teaching and more rigid examination
Of underclass men.
At the conclusion of DR.. Rodman's ad-
dress the report of the special commit
tee appointed at last years convention, &c
report upon requirements for admission to
the freshmen years Of a medical college
was sumitted.
This committee consists of DR.. Parks
Richie, dean of the medical department
Of the. University of Minnesota; DR.. John
N. Dodson, dean Of Rush Medical college

LARGE CROWD WENT.

Pacific depot last night that three coaches
were added TO the train at Anthony and
that before the train reached its destina-
ton two more cars were added and even

TWO STORIES MORE
Rufus Cone Will Enlarge
Laundry Building.
NEEDS MORE ROOM
will Greatly Improve Appear
ance of Corner.
MORE

Rufus Cone of the firm of Cone & Cor
nell stated yesterday that owing to the
growth of their laundry business and that
of the Pioneer Shirt factory he had decid-
ed to enlarge his two-story brick block
at the corner of Market and Williams
streets and add another and possibly two
stories TO the building.
The walls of the present two-story
building were built with the idea of add
ing more stories if necessary and Mr..
Cone figures that the cost will be very
small in proportion to the benefit to be
derived from it. The building is on one
of the best corners in the city and is q
very valuable piece of property The
lower floor is occupied by the laundry
and in the last year so much new machin-
cry has been added that it is necessary
TO have more room, and Mr.. Cone has
only two ways of securing it. He at first
considered erecting a two-story building
in the rear Of the one he occupies at pres
eat. If this building were constructed it
would face the south and east and give
the laundry the required room, but Mr..
Cone stated yesterday that he favored
erected. This will greatly improve the
appearance of the corner of Market and
Williams streets and would give the firm
one of the best buildings in the city for
their business. The laundry will occupy
the two lower floors ana the Pioneer Shirt
factory the rest of the building.

TO BUILD MODERN FLATS.
S. G. Bond, st. Louis Contractor, Has
Bought Lots on South Market.

s. c. Bond, a st. Louis man, has pur-
chased lots on South Market street and
will build a large apartment house. The
lots are on the corner of Waterman and
Market streets and the new house will
face the north on the east side of the
street. Mr.. Bond is having the plans
made now and as soon as he receives the
blue prints he will place the orders for
the material and begin the construction
at once
The flats are to be commodious and
modern in every detail. They are to be
two stories in the dwelling and there will
be four large apartments fitted through
out with all modern conveniences. Mr..
Bond has a fine location and is deter
mined to make. the flats among the most
attractive and convenient in the city.
Mr. Bond is a contractor and when be
came here a few days ago he liked the
appearance Of the city so much that he
not only decided to invest here but also
TO locate here. He will open a shop here
soon and will also personally oversee the
construction of his large apartment
house which ne hopes to finish in the
early part of the winter. Mr.. Bond is
a son of Mrs Bond, who moved here
from Ell Dorado, last winter and con-
structed a new modern cottage at $50
North Waco, where she now lives.

BICYCLIsTS OBJECT.
They Would Have Sidewalk Ordin-
ance Revised.

The numerous arrests made in the past
few weeks of persons riding wheels on
the sidewalks of the city seem to have
made the wheeimen think there is no
wheelmen and the man who rides solely
on business is punished simply because
of the rash acts of a few scorchers
who have no regard for the safety of
pedestrians. Many have suggested that
instead Of the present ordinance which
prevents wheelmen riding on the side
walks one should be substituted which
would permit them 10 use the sidewalks
during bad weather but would restrict
and make punishable fast riding. They
think this would reduce the number of
accidents to a minimum and would make
the use of bicycles possible in the c ~.
When asked about the matter yesterday
one OF the leading wheelmen OF the city
had the following to say:
As q business man I ride solely for
business and never for pleasure Ny
business takes me over nearly every
street in the city so that l have an ox-
celIent opportunity TO judge the condi-
ton OF the streets. Il viii say that

riding on the walks During the past
summer there has never been a time when
there was more than one well beaten
track. which would at best accommodate
two teams abreast. on any street in this
city. Il is only in these tracks that
wheelman can ride in comfort and ma

and huggies take ND one oc these beaten
tracks and refuse 10 give the wheelman

he asks The result Is he must often

ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Ice Men Say They Cannot Prevent
Short Weights.

The article in yesterday mornings Eagle
regarding the ordinance designed to force
the ice men to carry scales on their wag-
ons has brought out the fact that the ice
men are only hired by the day by the Ice
companies and that they are in no way
responsible for the short weights COM
planned of by patrons. In speaking of
the matter yesterday one of the ice men
said:
ANY shortage in ice weight that has
been complained of this year is due to the
company and not to the ice men. Last
year we ice men purchased the ice from
shortage We were to blame, but this year
every fee man in the city is employed by
the day and has nothing more to do with
the ice than to deliver ii to the customers
as we are ordered The ice companies DO
all the business. We start out with cakes
of ice which are supposed to have correct
weight They melt under the hot sun and
get short weight. Another cause is the
fact that not all OF the cakes weigh 300
pounds. Many of them have large holes
in them from imperfect freezing and often
from not being allowed to remain in the
watts long enough We are not allowed an
extra amount of ice to take the place OF
that which melts and that statement that
worked a hardship on US. We are more
than willing TO have the scales placed on
our wagons to prevent any short weights"

, When the train came to El Reno the
bus was loaded down with passengers
and four or five were on top. This all
shows that the people down there have
plenty of money. The cars are full of
people riding from one town to another

good business"

to dismounting especially in the case or

a single child that has been hurt by

is represented TO have said that of course
many wheelmen are careful but so long
as the ordinance remained in force they
would have to take the same punishment
as those who are careless. This kind OF
punishment is sometimes resorted TO in
the grade schools where all the children
are kept in because a few scapegraces
want to be excused too often and stay
out too long when excused.

q reasonable use of the walks can be
granted TO parties who are almost oblig-
ed to use them in getting around at their
