Science in TranspOsinE Or
Eans from Body to
Body.

CHICAGO. June S-"wives, who from
choice. foster race suicide, should be held
criminally responsible"
This was the declaration made by nurner-
Gus women physicians, after DR. Walter
B. Dorset of st. Louis had delivered an
address dcnounclng the attitude of women
who oppose the Roosevelt theory. Several
speakers who followed Or. Dorset declared
that the laws should be so amended as TO
permit the punishment of these women.
The sectional meeting. which was held
yesterday by feminine practitioners in at
tendance upon the American Medical asso-
citation convention finally adopted resolu-
tions providing that propaganda of edu-
cation be launched A committee will agree
upon some method Of reaching the lay
mind, either by popular lectures or by a
legitimate publication.
DR.. Dorsett had asserted that ignorance
was the chief cause Of trouble of this sort.
He claimed that the present conditions will
be remedied only when the profession takes
an active part in the education of both boys
and girls.
In the section devoted TO children's all
monts, physicians came to the defense of
infants in determined manner. Automo-
biles and luxurious living. as well as alco-
holic beverages, according to DR.. Edwin
c. Graham. were preferred to children.
Race suicide. he said. was the result
Some of the Causes.
Or. Graham produced statistics purport'
ing TO show that burial associations and
children's life insurance had much to do
with high death rate among children.
Removal of unsound organs and the re-
placement OF sound ones from bodies OF
persons killed in accidents was suggested
as a possibility in the discussion following
the paper of DR.. Alexis Carrel Of New York
on transportation of Blood Vessels and
Organs" delivered to the section of sur
gerry and anatomy.
The paper was illustrated with lantern
slides, showing a dog whose leg had been
removed and replaced with one from an
other animal
Dr. J. w. Draper of New York after the
address made the suggestion that the ex'
periments in transplanting described by DR.
Carrel IN time might enable surgeons tc
transpose organs from body to body.

PRESIDENT AND HORSE FALL
While Riding Untried saddle Animal
ReRrs and Throws Him
In Greek.

WASHINGTON. June 8. - President
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoon had an
exceedingly narrow escape from serious
accident while horseback riding in Rock
Creek park Mrs Roosevelt was with the
president. Rumors of the affair which
gained currency last night were denied at
the White House at the time. as neither
the president nor Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of
the affair upon their return. The rumors
came from the occupants of several car
riages who saw the accident.
The president was riding a new horse,
young animal. The party rode down
through a cut in bank, forded creek
and were ascending the bank on the other
side. The presidents horse reared, the
president leaned forward in the saddle and
threw the reins down in loops so as to
avoid pulling the horse backwards. Again
on reaching the top of the bank. the horse
reared a second time. and the president
leaned forward again, but the animal stood
straight on its hind legs and then went
over backward into the creek with the
president. Feeling that he was going
backward, the president slipped from the
saddle and. as luck would have 1t, fell
into the creek close beside the horse, which
landed on its back. The horse fell on the
downstream side Of the president who,
realizing that he would be in danger from
the animals feet should the horse turn to-
ward him, got out Of the way as rapidly
as possible. The horse, however. turned
over from the president and got up. He
was captured at once.
The president remounted and rode for an
hour and a half before returning to the
White House. The fan from the horse $
back to the stream was a distance of more
than ten feet. The stream was about two
feet deep with an exceedingly rocky bed.
Neither the president nor his horse re-
ceived the slightest injury.
President Hoosevet's two regular riding
horses were out of commission yesterday.
both being indisposed. The presidents or
derly wished to try out the new horse, but
the president took 1t upon himself to do
this. The president was dressed in khaki
and the fact that he got thoroughly wet
did not become apparent to those who saw
him after theN accident.

coaling, and there is q stretch Of about
1900 miles to negotiate after the ships
leave Honolulu and before they reach New

The Alabama is to be detached because
