HEALTH OF AMERICAN PUBLro
over One Thousand Physicians Listen
 to Discussion.

Atlantic City, N. J.. June 7.-Matters pertaining to the public health occupied the attention of the American Medical association which began its fifty-fifth annual session here to-day. It was busy day for the one thousand and more physicians, who are here repre- senting every section of the country. The convention was formerly opened at ! Il o'clock in Mariners hall on Young's Pier. and from that hour until late to- night when the symposium of medical institutions was concluded there was not an idle moment for the visiting doctors.
 Among the most important features Of the day was the address of the new president, Dr. John H. Murray of Phil adelphia, who spoke on the medical profession in general and laid particu- lar stress on the education of students. He asserted among other things that a majority of the medical students were unfit to practice and he advocated a closer scrutiny of the moral, mental and physical capabilities of prospective doctors.
 l lest was discussion by the section on I"Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery of Radium and Its Therapeutic Possibil- iities." The subject was presented i'll paper read by Dr. William Allen Pusey lof Chicago, who declared that the cur Iative properties of radium were vastly inferior to the X-ray. He said that he did not believe the newly discovered el- lements would become an important fac- tor in the medical world.
 Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley of New York Iagreed with Dr. Pusey, but stated that in his opinion sufficiently active radium might be effective in inaccessible cav- |ties.
 l The report of the committee on the Icollection of information regarding pub lie school methods yas read before the lscction on nervous and mental diseases. The committee urged thorough and systematic method of inspecting public schools and examining school children.
 During the afternoon twelve sections held meeting and an executive session of the house of delegates, the legislative body of the organization was held.
 Tonight symposium of the institu- tions doing research work for the Iscienee of medicine took place.
 The sum of $7.500 was contributed by members of the association to the pro- posed memorial for the late pr. Walter Reed, formerly in the service of the United States government, who lost his life while Investigating yellow fever.

Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 1.-The Harvard varsity crew Hate this afternoon again went over the -Four mile course on the Thames river, lstarting about o'clock, but were un- table to make the distance in much bet ter than twenty-four minutes, the time sor the trial being given as 23 minutes land 50 seconds. Weather conditions lwere not good. there being little tide land a strong head wind. Couple with lthat the water was rough for the first two miles and there was considerable lsplashing. Notwithstanding the poor conditions the trial was rather dscour- Iaging, the only encouraging feature be- ling the fact that the varsity kept up Ithe stroke over the thirty mark for the full distance. A 34 stroke was rowed at lthe finish. For the first two miles the varsity was accompanied by the fresh- men. yho rowed nearly even with the first ere wfor a while but the varsity pulled away and when the navy yard was reached there was quarter of a length of water between the two shells.
 At this point the second crew took up

 sition the two crews pulled over the re-
 mainder os the course and at the finish
 the second crew was leading by about a quarter of length.
 Although the race was a pretty hard
 l one the varsity stood it we'll and
 boarding the launch were taken back
 Ito their quarters. The four-oared crew
 went up the river for it's afternoon row and came back a full four miles in fair fly good time. The work of the crews Twas light this morning consisting of flew short brushes. This evenings work flor the freshmen was the first of the day for that crew. Dr. Jouet made a physical examination of the varsity loarsmen to-day and found them all in |excellent condition.

He said that Sully & Co. virtually acted as agents or brokers for the F. W. Reynolds Co.

 He contended that the firm of Daniel J. Sully & Co. with the same partners it contained before the suspension still existed, in spite of the bankruptcy pro- ceedings.
 The efforts of receivers counsel to show that Mrs. Sully was down as a creditor for more than $200,0G0 were misdirected, Sully said.
