YOUNG WOMAN
ON AMBULANCE
IN NEW YORK
One of the Latest Objects Of
Particular Interest to
Gothanites.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Jan. 1S.-New York
now has a feminine ambulance sur
geon Ior the first time in it's history.
She is Dr. Mary Merritt Crawford,
Cornell honor girl, whose home is in
New York, and who became an in
terne in the Williamsburg hospital,
Brooklyn She defeated for the place
many men who competed with her,
and who sneered at what they appear
ed to think her foolish pretentions.
After serving as an inferno until
June L next, Miss Crawford will
! take her regular turn on ambulance
duty and race to fires, wrecks and
otner places TO minister to the in
jured. Great interest is manifested
in medical circles at this innovation,
and opinion is divided among ambu-
f; lance surgeons as to whether a wO-
man can make good in the active
duties required by the position.
DR.. Crawford is only % years of
age. She graduated from Cornell
university medical college last June
with high hoonrs. After her gradua-
ton the young physician decided that
she wanted hospital experience and
particularly the surgical part of it.
She applied to Williamsburg hospital
for a place on the staff Many young
men who had just been graduate
were applicants for the same position.
A regular examination to pass upon
the fitness of the applicants was
held.
She hasn't a chance of passing"
declared one wise young doctor.
Being a girl is a terrible handicap
in the medical profession
Other wise young NJ. DIS hailed
this statement with a chorus of as
i
the Nyack girl with a shrug of con-
tempt. v. Aen the examination was
completed, however, and the result
announced, the smiles of the young
men faded. Miss Crawford had clear
ly demonstrated the superiority of
her medical knowledge, and was Sc
lected for the coveted place.

will be sounded on the question dur
ing the present visit of the president
elect to Washington.
Senator Lodge is known TO have
been under consideration for the
secretaryship of state, but Judge Taft
is aware that the Massachusetts, man
has repeatedly declined tenders of
cabinet and diplomatic positions,
owing to his strong preference for
service in the senate. and 1t is regard
ed as highly probable that Judge Taft
will offer the state portfolio to SEN
ator Knox unless he becomes convinc-
ed that the latter would not consent
to quit the senate. Senator Knox, of
course, will not discuss the matter
under present circumstances. and his
intimates doubt whether he would
take the state portfolio If it were
formally offered him. 1t is believed
that President Roosevelt will join
with Judge Taft In urging the SEN
ator to go to the head of the state
department under the new admin
istration unless the senator makes it
clear from the first that he will not
consider the proposition owing to
strong preference for service in the
senate.
