Clinic at Hospital and
Visit to Russian
Cruiser.

notwithstanding it was Sunday, the
Medical Association put in a rather
strenuous day yesterday At nine
o'clock in the morning there was a
clinic at the Queens Hospital which
was largely attended. The operation
was for appendicitis. Dr.. j. r. Judd
performed the operation, assisted by
DR.. Carl Ramus of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service. the anes-
thetic being administered by DR.. West
of the hospital staff. The operation
was of unusual interest TO the medical
men and was closely watched.
During the operation and afterward
Dr. F. r. Day, who is an amateur
photograph of no mean ability, made
several snapshots of the members pres
ent. After the operation, the next thing
on the docket was a clinical lecture and
exhibition of interesting cases by DR.
Walter Hoffman,, also of the hospitI
staff, which was greatly enjoyed from
a medical standpoint.
Afte. the program at the hospital
was over there was an impromptu
party formed for luncheon at the
Young cafe at one o'clock. The Young
did itself proud. The party was then
prepared for visit to the Russian
auxiliary cruiser Lena, which was
reached from the Oceanic dock in the
P. H. & NJ. H. S. launch. previously
ordered to be in readiness by DR.. Golfer,
surgeon in charge at this port.
On the way out. the party discussed
who could talk French sufficiently well
to make themselves understood and it
ix1-ac GYa no Tt A
of Waikiki, who is perfect in his
French. should be spokesman. The
Maui physician consequently unIfmber-
ed his best Partisan batteries and OPEN
ed on the officer of the deck, who, of
course, replied in equally good French.
This had gone on for some time when,
by some accident, it was discovered
that the officer of the deck spoke as
good English as he did French and the
French was Immediately dispensed with
amid a roar of laughter all around. The
purpose of the visit was to invite the
surgeon of the cruiser, DR.. Vladimir
Zabotkin, to attend and take part in
the meetings of the Association and to
be present at the banquet tonight as
the guest of the President. The party
was most courteously received and
shown over the vessel, which they de-
clared to be a fine ship, fitted up more
like a passenger steamer than a war
ship.
Prior to going aboard ship and after
the luncheon, the whole party went To
the county morgue, where an autopsy
was performed upon an Hawaiian man
who had died during the morning at
Moanalua unattended by a physician.
The autopsy, performed by DR. ]. T.
Mcdonald, developed the fact that the
man had died of acute pneumonia.
NOTES.
At eight-thirty this morning DR..
Judd will operate at the Queens Hos
pital for abscess of the liver. All mem
bers of the Association are invited to
be present.
The meeting in the afternoon will be-
gin at two o'clock instead of three as
originally planned, on account of the
large number of papers to be presented
and the amount of business to be trans
acted.
In the evening will occur the annual
banquet at the Young Hotel, the pro-
gram of which appeared in yesterday
mornings paper.
