Mr.. Moulton asked permission of the
committee to make new draft of the
BILL >embOdying a few changes of a
minor nature, including the taking in
of a small section of location in the
town of Gorham, SO that the proposed
location should read: commencing at
South Portland Heights in the city oil
South Portland, and extending in and
| through said South Portland and towns
of Cape Elizabeth. Scarboro and Cor
ham and city of Westbrook." This
permission was granted and the matter
tabled for executive session.
]. E. Hail of Springvale, secretary
of the Portland Cement Co. appeared
| in favor of an act compelling railroads
to grant spur track facilities to manu-
featuring industries under certain con-
ditions. He presented the bill in a n aw
draft, the old draft. having been OBJ
jected to at a previous hearing. Hon.
Seth NJ. Carter counsel for the Boston
& Maine Railroad spoke in opposition
to the bill and particularly in regard
to Section 3, which says that where an
industry has been or may be establish
ed on land adjoining a railroad land
on which such spur track already
exists, it shall be the duty of the rail-
road owning the same to provide ship
ping facilities the owners or owners
of such industry without charge for
the use of such track" He said that
Mr.. Hall was simply trying to have
general law framed to fit particular
case in Springvale, where the Boston
& Maine Railroad had operated a spur
track for Mr.. Hall.
The remainder of the time of the
session was devoted to a consideration

Hon. Charles r. Libby. representing

Mr.. Moulton stated that the summer

and Arthur NJ. Lane to speak for the
measure.
Mr.. Smith proposed an amendment
to the bill providing that no Osteopath
registered under the provisions of the
act be permitted to administer drugs
or poisons internally, nor perform any
operation of major surgery. He said
that this amendment should remove
any sane objection to the bill. He
stated that there are now about 5000
OsteOpaths in the country and. that
the colleges are turning them out at
! the rate OF 500 a year. In 50 states
there are laws concerning the practice
of Osteopahy and when the incompe-
tent Osteopaths are turned down in
these states the speaker said that they
come to Maine. He cited Vermont and
| Connecticut with separate boards of
registration for Osteopaths and Mass
achusetts where Governor Guild has
appointed an Osteopath to the board Of
medical examiners. Pennsylvania has
| just passed through the House and
partly through the Senate bill similar
| to that now before the Maine Legisla-
ture, and in all there are II states
which have separate boards of regis
tration. He pointed out that no person
could be registered according to the
provisions OF the bill, who had not had
three full years of nine months each
| in a college of Osteopathy.
In response to inquiry as to how
many Osteopaths there were in the
State MrSsspithEs said that there are
| not mores than 20. Representative
| Hersey asked the speaker just what
| Osteopathy included and he replied
| that it would take several hours to
answer the question fully, and even
| then it would not be ineligible to a
committee of lawyers.
MIR. Lane, the other Osteopath, en-
| livened the discussion by saying that
| with no safeguard around the practice
of Osteopathy Maine now invites the
| masseurs and graduates OF Turkish
| baths, who come here and hang out
| their shingles and practice until they
get into trouble and then hide under
| the banner of Osteopathy. Mr.. Smith
| in closing the discussion said that the
bitter warfare, which the medical pro-
| fession had for years waged on Homeo-
| pathy is now being waged against
| Osteopathy.
The measure was opposed by DR.. W
| l.. Cousins, DR.. Frederic H. Gerrlstl
and DR.. Thomas G. Burrage of Port
land Their opposition was based on
the ground that it would be bad
| thing for the State to lower its stand
ard of registration by giving certifl-
Gates of registration to class OF peo-
pie who do not know how to make a
diagnosis. Dr. Cousins in touching up
on the concession OF the Osteopaths in
regard to the use of drugs internally
said that evil results might come from
the use of drugs externally.
| DIR. Gerrish said that the whole OBJ
lection to the registration of Osteo-
paths lies in their not having knows
edge enough to pass medical board
and not because they are Osteopaths
He said that any Osteopath coming oe-
| fore the board would have absolute
Justice done him and added that the
| board of registration had shown its
| broadness by not making any attempt
| to prosecute the OsteOpaths as he pc
| lieved could be done under the law.

tages and as q summer resort
Fred Eastman of Portland presented

city a substitute bill. calling for the
same appropriation. but the appoint
the commission Of immigration whose
duties would be similar.
The only person to speak against
the bill was j. p. Bass of Bangor, who
criticised it as being top heavy and
unable to do the work as we'll as it is
now being done by railroads and cities.
Commenting on the statements made
by the proponents of the measure tn 1t
something of the kind was necessary
in order to get people from the north
crn part of Europe to come to Name
and settle on the farms, Mr.. Bass said:
Talk about getting Germans and
Scandinavians here. you can't do It.
You can't get them to stay. They may
come but they won't stay unless they
can get their glass of lager beer.
Thousands have come but have re-
manned only a short time.
Asked by Senator Looncy of Cumber-
land. member of the committee. Il
he approvcd of establishing brcwcrirs
and distilcrics in the state, Mr.. Bass
answered that he did not but he be-
lievcd that if the people could have
lager and light beers to drink tn 1t
there would be less drunkenness"
