Mr.. Forgan is one OF the ninety-seven

deliberate stirring up OF passion and rage

One View of the Medical stan
Trouble i'm Providence Hospital.
Editor The Washington Herald:
How many members OF the Medical As
sociation OF the District OF Columbia can
see any similarity between their strike
on Providence Hospital and the strike Of
a labor organization for the identical
same reason-unfair conditions or treat
ment? VIII some member of that highly
intelligent body Of men enlighten us, or
will some member point out 70 US what
the difference is in the merits Of the
two kinds of strikes?
Union labor men have always contended
that professional men of all professions
have unions OF their own that are even
far more strict and exacting than anv
labor union. while. as a rule. these same
professional men are in the front ranks
of the howlers about the despotism of the
labor unions. Now, right at hand we
have a concrete case. illustrating not
only the rigid discipline in the profess
sional mems union. but the power of
that union to force the employer TO
terms. q see by the papers the matter
is too be amicably settled)
1 strongly recommend this case TO the
serious consideration Of the laboring man
both in and out of the union and of the
professional union man-nOne outside the
union are permitted TO exist.

New York. March IS.-John Edward
Boeck. soldier Of fortune, clever jeweIry
salesman, and prospective dictator Of the
Chinese empire, who skipped out of New
York last May when he found that he
was to be indicted for stealing $500 600
worth of jewelry from local dealers. was
arrested to-day in San Francisco. after
the Pinkertons had trailed him all over
Europe and Asia.
B0eck said that since he left New York
he has been working as a jewelry sales
man in China much Of the time. He said
that he had only come TO this country for
short visit and intended to go right
back TO China.
BOeck, who is only thirty-eight years
old, is the son of a Polish scholar who
at one time taught mining and civil en-
cheering in the University Of Virginia, in
which State Boeck was born. Later. the
father taught in a school near PhiIadeI-
phia, and eight years Boeck was q car
tracer for the Reading Railroad at Phila-
delphia- He borrowed so much money
that he lost his job and then floated a
scheme for developing a summer resort
in Pennsylvania.
He was about to be arrested for swim
ding in this connection when he was mar
ried TO Mary Glassmier, of Tamaqua, Pa,
and he was let off.
Goes 10 China with Exhibit.
In 1900 Boeck went over to China with
an exhibit sent there by the National AS
soeiation Of Manufacturers. The Boxer
outbreak came at the time and the ex-
hibit was a failure, so Boeck stayed
there and went into the copper business
in Shanghai He got into the good graces
of many Chinese officials. and when
Prince Pu Lun came over here 10 the ST.
Louis Exposition as the Chinese commits
sioner. Boeck accompanied him to help
handle the exhibit.
After the exposition Boeck got the Job
OF disposing Of most Of the exhibits. and
in doing so became acquainted with many
big jeHelry firms and rich art collectors.
He was also commissioned TO buy copper
for the Chinese mint, and thus became
acquainted with Senator William A. Clark
and the Guggeaheims. Then he branched
out into the jewelry commission business.
Last spring Boeck had an Office with
Marsellus. Pitt & Co. jewelers.. at 10
Broadway, where he had an exhibit of
Chinese porcelains.
Introduces Rich Men.
In February he went to Edwin W. Day
ton a jeweler and dealer in antiques. az
West Thirty-ninth street. with letter
OF introduction from a prominent down
town jewelry firm, with a proposition to
sell goods for him. Boeck introduced
