CINCINNATI, o, May 24.-If the
recommendations of Morris F. West

Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association.
are accepted, that organization. which
opened its annual convention here to-
day will in future exercise closer
watch over retail dealers. Only re-
tailers who conscientiously observe
the law will be supplied and places
that bring criticism on the trade will
be cut off.
Don't criticise a law breaking re-
taller IT you solicit his patronage" de-
clared Westheimer. "If retail dealer
conducts place offensive TO the com
munity, or in defiance of the law, the
distilIer, or wholesale dealer who
plies him, Is as guilty as the owner
of the balloon himself"
Westheimer appealed for united
action In warning on the Anti-Saloon
League, which he referred to as our
common enemy" and In seeing thar
the right men" are elected to public
Office.
He declared that proof that prohi-
bition does not prohibit is being az =
copied and that lawlessness increases
as CRY territory Is extended.
Secretary Joseph Dollar also made
an appeal for reform in the trade in
his annual report. He said that the
people were tired of prohibition aud
that the time is opportune to urge

CLAIMS Of FRAUD
TREATED IN PAPER
Head of Railway Surgeons
Cites Interesting Case
at Meeting
STARKEL DELIVERS
ANNUAL ADDRESS
Body Adopts Resolution Suggest
ing That Southern Collect
Data Regarding ALI Dam
age Cases.

Fraudulent cases in railway sur
gerry received some attention in the
address of DIR. Charles IL. Starkel.
president Of the Southern Hallway AS
ISOLATION of Surgeons when members
Of the association to the number of
several hundred assembled In fifteenth
annual session Tuesday morning in the
auditorium of the jefferson hotel.
DR.. Starkel cited the instance OF
q man who succeeded III delrauding
five railroads ny means oE a case OF
ordinary hernia. The man was
finally detected when he put in a
claim for injuries after sustaining d
slight fall in a railway coach that was
brought rather suddenly TO a halt
Close examination OF the claimant
that he had been in no wise injured
by the fall and then 1t developed that
he made use OF his affection Ia de-
frauding other roads In pretty much
the same manner
In the same connection, however,
DR.. Starkel cited case in which the
surgeon OF a railroad caused IL to pay
double damages because he pronounce
ed claimant fraud when in reality
the latter had suffered serious injury
in an accident 1t appears that the
injuries Of the claimant in this case
consisting OF a benum bed leg, did not
develop until some time after the ac-
Cident, and the scientific insight of the
surgeon was not capable of diagnosing
the actual trouble when the claim was
first put in against his rn@ld--Thas- re-
suit was that the injured man doubled
the amount Of damages he had ask
ed for and got the fun amount.
SaDsa ys Science
DIR. Starksl selected Sense vs.. Sci
encs". as the theme Of his paper. and
while ctsciairning hts purpose to cast
any aspersiuns on the scientific quah-
fieations OF the railway surgeon, he
contended that instruments and ap-
pliances are frequently worthless IN
the hands of a surgeon unless he pos
sesses "A goodly. abundance OF good.
hard common sense, or horse sense.
as 1t might be better termed.
Fixed rules, declared DIR. Starkel,
were entirely inadequate In dealing
with railway surgical cases. Tee Of
ten, he said. surgeons rely upon sci
entific views and opinions In meet
ing an emergency.
-n DIR Starkel- also dealt with the
question OF justice as applied to plain
tin and defendant in railway damage
suits Frequently. he said, jurors are
prone to be prejudiced against the
railroad because the testimony of Its
surgeon in court differs from that Of
the surgeon testifying for the plain
tiff. He declared that the latter class
OF surgeons are often bur Scantily
qualified to pass opinions on cases ut
issue, and yet they had little trouble
in turning the tide OF justice against
the railroad.
Equal Justice contamination
greatly desired" declared DR., Starkel,
who brought his paper to close by
expressing the view that some COM
mon ground must be found in event
of passage OF national employees
