ANNUAL REPORT MADE
STATEMENT BY BOARD OF MEDI-
CAL SUPERVISORS.
Number of Licenses Issued to App1-
cants-Suggested Changes
in Local Law.

The board of medical supervisors, In lie
annual report submitted to COMMISSIONS
mcfarland today, devotes considerable d..
tention to the discussion of the decision VI
the court which recently oVerruled the ac-
tion of the board in revoking the license OF
a practicing physician on the charge Oh UNI
professional and dishonorable conduct, anu
the report also contains an implied crlI-
cism of the law department of the DISTRICT
with reference to the drawing OF the
charges against the physician in question.
The reference to this matter In the re-
port is, in part, as follows: =
1.-TWO physicians alleged to be guilty OF
unprofessional and dishonorable conduct
were summoned to appear before the board
and in both cases their licenses were reFoh-
ed. Since the end of the fiscal year inc
cCrrt to which one of the licentiates APP
pealed has overruled the action of the
board on the ground of the faulty framing
of the charges. In order that there should
be no miscarrying Of justice the BOARD mas
entertained practically the same charges as
previously made by the law department In
form which its attorney represents as sum
Gent to meet the requirements of the court
Disappointing Experience.
1.-THE experience of the board in these
cases was most disappointing. The board
was subjected to criticism by both the pub
lie and the medical profession because or
common report which made the practice OF
the physicians who were summoned intol-
cradle to large part of the community.
It seemed to those who asked the board Tor
relief that the law department of the gov
ernment was tardy in offering to the board
evidence for the revocation of the licenses,
and now by decision of the judge presiding
at the appeal the action of the board OF
supervisors has been overruled because OF
the faulty framing of the charges.
1T would appear from these facts that
amendment should be made in the reguia-
lions of both the police and the law depart
ment of the District government governing
we respectfully ask that the attorney Tor
the District and the Commissioners grant
an interview with the lay members of the
board looking to the framing OF such regu-
lations as may be necessary TO bring about
the evident intent of the law. which was
that the board, because of it's power to
grant licenses, should have power to re-
woke the same were the possessors OF the
privileges granted guilty of unprofessional
or immoral conduct
Urges Legislation.
The board urges the Commissioners to
secure the passage of the bill introduced
in Congress at the last session, and which
passed the House, providing for reci-
procity between the District and licenti-
ates of the several states, and the board
also declares that theresis urgent need
for thorough equipment of laboratories
for the diagnosis of all contagious dis
eases, in connectfon with the examination
of candidates to practice medicine.

RAILWAYSIN GERMANY
REVIVING BISMARCK'S SCHEME
OF IMPERIAL OWNERSHIP.
Southern Governments Now Disposed
to Relinquish Control of
Their Lines

| The United States secretary OF embassy
| at Berlin. Germany, writes:
The idea of uniting all the railways in
Germany under one management appears
| lately to have gained ground. 1t Will be
remembered that Prince Bismarck de-
sired to have the empire both own and
manage all the German railways, but was
prevented from accomplishing his desire
by the southern German governments,
which feared to give too great powers to
the empire and to Prussia. Consequently
the German railways were not purchased
by the empire, but by each German gov
eminent individually, and those of each
have been managed independently. This
has caused great disadvantages to the
German railways, particularly to those
OF the smaller governments. An example
of the waste of independent management
is that whole trains of freight cars are
often obliged to make long return jour-
neys empty because they belong to an
other government and, therefore. cannot
be loaded. Complaints have also often
been made against the Prussian govern
ment for favoring the railways OF one
state to the detriment of those of an
other. Ii is said that Saxony has suffered
in this way.
Southern Railways Lose.
"Of late years, owing largely to the
commercial depression Whlcn Germany
has been passing through, the railways
of the small states have not been giving
good financial reports. Those of Prussia,
however on account of their great extent
and excellent management have stood
the strain remarkably well.
las it seemed hopeless to secure the
railways for the empire, Prussia has for
n number of years been trying to induce
the other states to agree to some COM
promise which would secure the chief ad-
vantages of a united system while leav-
ing the ownership to the various govern
ments. A plan was proposed for uniting
as many of the railways as possible under
one management without affecting their
ownership and allowing them also to re-
tain to a certain extent their individu
present only the small duchy of Hesse
has actually made such an arrangement
with Prussia
Southern Governments Yield.
Lately. however, the initiative in this
matter has been taken by some of the
southern German governments them
selves. which called a meeting'to con-
slider plans for uniting the management
of the German railways. Accordingly, the
railway ministers of most Of the south
ern German governments met at Heidel-
berg during this month, where the Prus-
sian minister of railways, Herr Won
Budde. Joined them. The results of this
meeting seem to have been satisfactory,
and it now looks as though the unifica-
tion of the management of all the Ger
man railways might actually take place
in the not very distant future. Saxony
and even Bavaria appear to be willing to
support such plan. The principal DIM

Guilty still in the way OF unification Is
said to be the very moderate fourth-c
railway carriages which exist and are
much valued in Prussia. but which do not
exist and are somewhat unpopular In the
southern states. This difficulty seems in
a fair way to be solved.
A similar movement appears also to
be on foot in the two Mecklenburg duch-
les where IL is reported that petition
Will be presented to the local diet for

burg railways with that OF the Prussian

REPORT OF GEN. WOOD
CONDITIONS AMONG THE MORoS
GENERALLY PEACEFUL.
Laws Prohibiting Slavery and Slave
Trading Have Met With Seri-
Gus Resistance.

The annual report of Mai Gen. Leonard
Wood, commanding the Department of Min

public at the War Department.
conditions among the Moros," says he.
Throughout the department are generally
peaceful. The establishment of civil gov
eminent and the extension over them of
certain laws and regulations has caused
some excitement and al times serious resist
ance, especially the law prohibiting slavery,
slave dealing and slave catching. In some
sections active hostility has been engen-
dered by our presence especially in the
Ike Lanao region, where almost constant
mUrderous attacks on workmen and SOL
diers We're the rule until the effects of the
recent expeditions to the Taraca side of
the lake, combined with expeditions to
other sections of the Lanao region, were
felt by the Moros. Recently there have been
vetry few acts of open hostility in this re-
glon. temporary camp is maintained on
Taraca river. The power of the Moros of
that section has been completely broken.
"ln JClo affairs are quiet The prompt
crushing of Hassan's uprising has made
deep impression on the people and the
abrogation of the Bates agreement has done
much to bring to end the unfortunate
conditions which existed under it.
Datto Ali Still Out.
'In the upper Cottabato valley Datto Ali
is out with a small following. Ali has al
ways been bad character, a gambler.
slave dealer, and has declared that he will
not obey the law, especially the slave law.
He and his brother, Djimbangan, were the
principal leaders in the sack of Cottabato
In 1899. AS long as he was not interfered
with in his slave trade and depressing
others he was apparently friendly, but as
soon steps were taken to bring to an end
the revolving conditions existing IN his sec
ton he broke out in armed defiance Of au-
thority, collected about 5000 followers and
constructed at Serenaya large fort, etc In
March these forces We're defeated and the
works destroyed, and All, with a few fol-
lowers, went into the up-riVer country,
where he is at this time. Eighty-five pieces
of ordnance were taken from the Serenaya
fort. twenty-one of them large cannon from
512-3 in. caliber. In May he ambushed +
Company, 18th Infantry, with disastrous
results to the company and considerable
loss to himself.
ANS party is the only outfit of Moros
now openly hostile, and it is being Yigor-
ously followed by troops and scouts.
The country he is operating in is of the
most difficult description. consisting of
lakes, rivers and immense swamps, covered
with tropical vegetation There is little
solid ground. trails muddy and difficult
and bordered by grass from ten to fifteen
feet high-everything combines against the

be in future any very serious resistance to
authority on the part of Moros, but there
will be constant work of police character.
