Chicago, February 2s.-"The United States supports too many physicians. While Europe maintains the proportion of one physician to every 15oo people, the United States has physician for every 56S. This overproducuon is due to our numerous low-grade medical schools and to the laxity of our laws governing them. It is time that the country adopt means to relieve itself of this burden"
 Henry s. Pritchett of New York, pres ident of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, made the fore going assertion in an address before the council of medical education of the Amer ican Medical association
 We have in this country, he contin- ued, about 15O medical schools, or mora than are to be found in the whole of Europe Each of our schools in the last ten years has graduated so many physi- clans and surgeons that the over-produc- tior has bYcome enormous.

 P4S COME TO END

Gondokoro, February 2s.-With MT. Roosevelts departure the African sci enti.ic expedition under the auspices of the Smithsonian institution of Washing ton and led by the former President of the United states was for all practical purposes brought to close
 Colonel Roosevelt considers that the giant elands in his recent excursion along the upper reaches of the Nile was a fitting ending of q marvelously 3uccess- full trip. The results generally from the standpoint of the hunter and the scientists have exceeded all expectations. The greater number of specimens will go to the Smithsonian institution. MT. Roosevelt will retain not more than six trophies for himself.
 The nnturalsts secured remarkable selection, comprising many thousands of tirds and other mammals
 The American museum will receive the greatest collection of African fauna in existence All agreed that too much praise cannot be accorded R. J. Cunninghame. the Englishman, whose management or the expedition was as nearly perfect as could be conceived

EDUCATION SHOWS
 LACK OF THOROUGFINESS

Washington, February 2S.-Reform in primary education in the United States was declared to be necessary by President Taft in an address to- night at banquet of the University club of Washington.
 The attention of the President has been called to the failures of appn- cants for admission to West Point and Annapolis by Representative Champ Clark of Missouri who In an address to the club stated that the applicants fail on rudimentary subjects.
 q agree with the gentleman from Missouri" said President Taft. that primary education in this country should be more thorough and on tha. subject I must say that he is nearer right than he has been for long sime.
 T believe that the ambition of school superintendents throughout the coun- try who have charge of primary and secondsrT education have led us Into q lack of tnoroughness that we ought t. reform. It is true that applicants foi admission to West Point and Annapolis fail in many instances on subjects that every school boy ought to know.

Washington. February 2s.-secretary of War Dickinson proposes that the anti trust laws be invoked to break up the monopoly which the Pacific Mail Steam ship company and the Hartman trans continental lines have on business be- tween Pacific coast ports and the Isth- mus of Panama
 When 1t was suggested today that suit under the Sherman law might fall be- cause of lack of proof that the steamship company, operated as an independent line, would be considered competitor of the Southern Pacific railroad. members of the Senate committee on interoceanic canals discussed the advisability of rec ommending legislation that would reach the merger.
 The hearing today was held in order to give the Secretary of War opportunity to answer the criticism Of Senator Bristow that the government was giving aid to the transcontinental railroads by not en- couraging the establishment of an import ant line on the Pacific coast, as was proposed by B. N. Baker of Baltimore.
 Secretary Dickinson produced the pro- posed contract to show his understanding of the offer. It indicated that the com pany was to have an exclusive contract and many. other favors that MT. Dick inson ssid could not be granted under authority vested in him or any other member of the Presidents cabinet.
 The, statement had been made by MT. DiqSinson that he had practically been cfaerced by 4erious situation into con senting to the demand of the Pacific Mall for 70 per cent of the joint rate. The Pacific Mail had threatened to withdraw its ships and if this had been done, he said, it would have left the government line without. an outlet on the Pacific coast.

 'I believe we are passing through a period in our national affairs, said the President, where we need sane and nor nal thinking and men who will not lead the public Into hysteria and the people brought to common sense beliefs. l do not think I know of more capable men than the faculties of the universities to charge with the duty.
 '.It is true that an occasional university man is over educated, and that he goes beyond the bounds of common sense, but the greater body of university men, after they have been out of college long enough to learn the ways of the world. may be counted upon to reach safe and sane con- clusions.

forities of 91 and 95 respectfully against two proposed amendments to MT. Asquiths resolution. The lrlsh members had withdrawn from the house for a discussion of the plocy when the programme was accepted. They had' however, decided to refrain from vol ing.
 The premier's motion, giving govern ment business precedence at every sitting up to March 24, was adopted without dis cuss.on In laying down the govern ments programme. MT. Asquith empha- sized the necessity of proceeding with financial business first, and he said that after that would come the question Of re- forming the house of lords.
 The financial legislation. he declared, would be confined to the army and navy bills and other urgent demands which would occupy the whole attention Of the house up to the easter adjournment.
 With regard to the house of lords, he hoped that chamber would agree with the proposed plan but whether 1t did or not the government intended to place on the statute books provision which would set free the house of commons from the veto of the lords.
 Chancellor Lloyd-George, in a telling speech, declared that the government could not ask for the exercise of the royal prerogative upon proposals which had not yet received the sanction of the house of commons or the opposition Of the house of lords.
 s'The government will stake it's exist ence," said the chancellor, upon the ad- vice it will give the sovereign, if It be- canes necessary to do so This s mai ter of greatest moment to the r mocracy of Great Britain and Irelandf, We are fighting a powerful conlbinaf which cannot be overthrown without a ourage and comradeship. loyalty and r., ce

London. February 2S.-In the session of the house of commons today the out come of which was awaited as eagerly as the denouement of a most exciting tragedy by all the members of both houses able to pack themselves into the chamber, Premier Asquith's govern ment obtained 8 lease of life until af- ter Easter This was the gilt of the conservatives, who were so anxious to avoid two general elections successfully within so brief period that they ac- cepted the premier's programme with out calling for vote.
 When the house of commons meets after Easter 1t will take up the strug- gle to revolutionize the British gov ernment system. Resolutions will be presented to deprive the house of lords of all authority over finances and also of the power of vetoing the measures of the lower house, leaving to the lords only the functions of delay and dis cussion.
 If this plan succeeds the government proposes next year to proceed with the transformation of the house of lords from hereditary to a democratic body.
 Such was the programme that tine prime minister unfolded and he si Chancellor Lloyd George declared that the government staked It's existence on 1t. In the meantime the budget stands sidetracked.
 Before the Easter adjournment the house of commons will deal with reso- lutions enabling the government to continue to borrow money and the ap- propriation bill for the army, navy and other departments. MT. Asquith's E plan gained the support of the advanced radicals and laborites, who have been wavering, with the result that the gov ernment later In the evening had ma

fer with you, but I link that where a hearing is given safef conclusion is like ly to be reached.
 Tn going about this country 13o0o miles, as did last year. the thing which impressed me more than anything else was the fact that the process through which VIC had gone of welcoming immi- grants from everywhere. and mixing them and amalgamating them with our population had produced a distinctive type of American, as distinguished from any of the people of which that type was made up. and that, therefore. were we to impose unjust burdens and stop immigration, we sholild go back on that which up to this time had enabled us to be great people.
 T only want to say one more word. I visited the East Side in New York about two years ago and 1 was exceedingly inn pressed with the Nact that the Jewish population there hNd recognized the op- portunity this cod Nhtry offered to them that their young linen and women who had attended the u1blic schools, and who had settled in thatIpart of New York had appreciated to ttu fullest the benefits that this country ad conferred. and that there was no p0|Ft of the country In which the real, 1e spirit of patriotism prevailed moro dq ply than there

NOTED
 BY SEISMOGRAPH

St. Louis, February 2s.-The seismo- graph at St. Louis university recorded five long earthquake shocks coming at 3:30:45 o'clock and continuing until s:4S:l0 o'clock The shocks were long and low. being from east to west. according to Father Goesse. the university astronomer. and portend. in his estimation, it is de- ciared. severe shock later in the extreme southwestern portion of the globe
 Father Goesse says the shocks were the heaviest yet recorded on the university seismograph
 "The vibrations were long and slow he said, and I would classify them as preparatory to other heavier shocks at a great distance from this city which may be expected within the next s1 hours.
 T am unable to determine the center of of the shocks. but believe they originated hundreds of miles to the southwest.

serted. too. that these doctors are needed for the rural districts.
 The assumption is that the graduates of the medical schools connected with the universities will not go into the rural flelde. This assumption is erroneous Our investigations shows us that nor, ex- pensively trained doctors go into f s-oun- try than the poorly trained doee3rs do. The Johns Hopkins university graduates have gone into s2 states and territories. This shows they do not all congregate in the big cities.
 Another argument which has been ad- vanced In behalf of the low grade school is that in favor of the poor boy. This argument is based not upon consideration for tine poor. boy and still less upon consideration for the public. but upon the desire to run Q medical school. The truth is that the medical education which the poor boy has to pay for will cost him just as much as for something better A four years medical education in the Chi cago, Baltimore pr Philadelphia schools, costs more than a six years course at Ann Arhor, or about the same as at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. .rfhez higher trained .9ra9vate ofY ABs- Arbor or Minnesota vii go forth bet ter equipped than the lower graduate of these so-called poor boys schools and with no more expense"

SENATE MEMBERS
 MUST FACE COURT

Washington, February 2S.-Justice
 Wright in the supreme court of the District of Columbia today decided that the court acted entirely within it's au- thority when 1t issued the writ of man damus ordering the joint committee on the printing of Congress to show cause why 1t should not consider the bid of the Valley company of Holyoke, Mass. This means the Senate members of tho committee will be compelled to appear in court either In person or by coun- sel.
 Members of the Senate committee on the judiciary. which committee ad- vised the action of the Senate in or dering it's members of the joint com mittee on printing to ignore the order of the district court. say that these senators are not in contempt, but only In default.
 The Senate members feel certain that the paper company's protest will be re- jected on its merits. Senator Shoot, chairman of the Senate committee on painting. stated that he would make no move whatever, as the whole ques- ton was for the Senate.
 The Jurisdiction of the court Justice Wright declared. was generally recog- nixed, commonly understood and long ex- ercised, having been conferred by various acts of Congress. Referring to the ab- sence of the Senators who declined to ap- pear in court or be represented, the court said:
 'The progress of the affairs of justice in such cases is neither to be avoided or obstructed by the absence of respondents, nor does any part of its administration depend upon their presence. Tn difFarauftafino haturaap ca~o anl cause of action. the court said that a case had certainly been esta blished and that a cause of action yet remained to be found.

Bdllinger-Pmchot Case WILL
 Be Taken Up By The Committee

George W. Pepper, counsel for MT Pinchot, agreed with MT. Vertrees that the calling of the President would be un- desirable, but added that he must press for a decision by the committee, as he considered the conversation between MT. Pinchot and President Taft a material foundation for further testimony which would be offered in support of MT. Pin chot's charges against the Secretary of the Interior.
 There is no serious thought In Washing ton that President Taft will appear as a witness. although the suggestion has been thrown out as one of the interesting side lights of an interesting case. Callers at the White House. who talked with the President, today declared that what the President said to Mr. Pinchot was not relevant to any subject under inquiry by the committee:
