SCIENTISTS HONOR
MEMORY OF MAJ. REED
General Wood Tells of His
Great Discovery.

The memory of Major Walter Reed.
whose scientific Investigations proved a
boon to the medical profession, was hon
ored last night by distinguished body
Of physicians, army and navy officers, and
scientists from all parts OF the world.
at memorial meeting in the main au-
ditorium of the Georgetown Law School
Building DR.. Reed died on November
%, 1902 His chief discovery of a scien-
tifc nature was that mosquitoes are
largely responsible for the spread of yei-
low fever.
The services last night. although plain.
were Of an Impressive nature Addresses
were made by Gen. Leonard Wood. who
supervised the experiments Of DR.. Reed
in Cuba; Major Jefferson r Kean, Z. s.
A: Prof A F. a King, and DR.. s. s.
Adams, president Of the Medical So
ciety OF the District of Columbia. under
whose auspices the exercises were held;
Prof. William H. WeIch, Of Johns Hop
kins University, under whom DIT. Rees
Robert A. Marmion, u S. N, and Prof.
Charles ". Stiles. The addresses all
dealt with the life and researches of
the eminent scientist
General Wood said: There was prob
ably no other man on this side Of the
world who had done more for humanity
than Dr.. Reed His discovery results
in the saving Of more lives annually
than those that were lost in the Cuban
war, and also prevents q greater nnan-
cial loss to the commercial interests OF
the world han was expended in con-
Quoting that war.
He came 20 Cuba at a time when
one-third Of the officers of the army
were being taken on with yellow fever
We were thoroughly discouraged with
the prevalence OF the disease. But
hardly a month passed before he check
ed the disease and exterminated It from
Havana That was the first time in 200
years that the city had been rid of IL.
THE value of his discoveries IS not
appreciated by those who do not know
the conditions of the tropical countries.
In order to realize the magnitude OF the
problem he solved, it is necessary TO
have been there. and witnessed the dir
ficulties which he encountered Here
after yellow fever can never again gain
such Roadway that a quarantine will ex-
list from the mouth of the Potomac to
that OF the Orinoco."
