Health Board Criticised.

new home for the Physio- Medical Col
lege of Indiana, at present located at the
corner of North and Alabama streets, is
now assured. The movement started by
DIR. James l.. Johnson, OF Los Angeles. Cal.
| at the meeting of the Indiana Association of
Physio-Medical Physicians and Surgeons at
the Denison May z, was brought to sue
cessful contamination last night at the
banquet at the Claypool of the National
Association. A fund of $4,000 has been
raised and the work on the new buildings
will be begun in time to have them COM
plete for the opening of the fall term OF
school.
DR.. JohnsOn's plan for raising this money
consisted in selling to members of the
ISOLATION stock in the Oracopia gold mine,
in which he owns controlling interest. He
donated sufficient number of shares of the
stock to the college to realize $4,000 when
sold at sixty cents on the dollar. AT the
state convention he sold a sufficient amount
of the stock to secure $4,000 in cash. Last
night before the banquet he sold $4,000 more
Of the stock in forty minutes, and at the
close of the banquet he managed to dis
pose Of the remaining $4,000 worth. This
stock is sold only on a cash basis and as
to the credit of the college he will make
personal gift of 5000 in cash to round out
the $4,000 desired for the new institution.
REASONS FOR 1T.
DR.. Johnson has met with remarkable
success in raising this money, and two rea-
sons are assigned for it-frst, the mining
stock is a paying investment and the sub
scribers will get ali their money back in
time with possible handsome profit; and,
second, whether or not the stock turns out
as represented DR.. johnson profits nothing
on the transaction and the college reapS
all the benefit.
DR.. Johnson was graduated from the COL
lege here about five years ago, and went
his profession. He was exceptionally sue
cessful in his practice, and even more so
| in lucky investment which he made in
has already made fortune of over 100000,
and his first thought has been of his alma
mater.
The trustees of the college propose to
sell the present site and building on North
Alabama street and establish the institu-
ton in another section of the city, where
free clinic can be maintained to an ad
vantage.
There were 2s3 guests at the banquet
last night, which was served in the Amer

PAPERS READ.
At the sessions of the association yester-
day a number of papers were read and
committees were appointed to consider the
suggestions embraced in the presidents
annual address. DR.. w. w. Schaare, of
Chicago, aroused something of a sensation
by his address, in which he criticised the
methods of the Chicago Board of Health
in requiring all the school children of the
city to be treated with anti-toxine when
they show the slightest signs of throat
trouble. He said he did not oppose the
use of anti-toxine, but 1t was not necessary
to use 1t for minor throat complaints, and
the methods OF the Chicago Board of
vored physicians.
At the sessions to-day officers will be
elected. 1t is conceded that DR.. Gammadge,
of Chicago, will be reelected president
without opposition.
