PROPOSED HEALTH LAW

Bill at Albany Apparently a
Blow to All Believers in
Healing by Faith.
PASSED ASSEMBLY ALREADY
Christian Scientists Marvel at
Possible Interests Back of
Pending Amend
ment
PASSED ASSEMBLY ALREADY

Through the medium of the neces-
sariiy swift work at Albany in the
closing days of the legislative session
some one came very near slipping
through an innocent looking little
amendment TO the public health laws
which would have greatly interfered
with the practices of Christian Sci
entists
Indeed. the measure also might have
affected the thousands of people who an
nuaIIy make Il pilgrimage to the little
Church of st. Jean Baptiste. at No. 159
East 10Th street at the novena OF st.
Ann. and even those who pray for heal
ing instead Of consulting physician. 1t
passed the Assembly and is now on gen.
eral orders in the Senate to become a
law
Assembiyman Lafay c. Wilkie, of
Buffalo, introduced it in the Assembly,
mildly opposed.
The present law on the subject of con-
suIting medical advice is drawn riGidly,
but is followed by broad clause of eX-
emption. which states that this article
shall lfot be construed TO affect . .
the practice Of the religious tenets of
any Church" Mr.. Wilkes proposed
amendment seeks 10 strike out that
clause and to substitute therefor the
words: This article shall not be con-
strued to affect the practice of circum-
cisjon as the religious tenet OF any
Church
County Medical Society's Action.
Three years ago. when the present law
regulating the practice of medicine was
put upon the statute books. the New
York County Medical Society, repre-
senting the medical profession of the
state, through its attorney, Champe S.
Andrews, prepared and advocated for
passage the law as it stands now, in
Guiding the broad exemptive clause
Explaining the clause before the joint
committee of the Assembly and Sen
ate Mr.. Andrews said on that occasion:
1T was put in because We don't want
any iokers or niggers in the woodpile in
this bill oor To take advantage of any
body whose interests are affected
The Wilkie bill WAS introduced in the
Assembly on April 26 and passed that
body on May =. It was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Witter, of Ale
gany County, chairman of the Senate
Committee on Public Health. and him
self a physician and surgeon.

GREEN AGAIN UNDER ARREST.
Indiana Seeks to Extradite Banker
Horse Thief-Churchmnn.

indianapolis, Ind. March 1.-THE local
authorities are eager TO get possession Of
Robert II. Green. the waynetown. md.
banker. horse thief. and Sunday school
superintendent, who was captured here
two years ago and escaped from the
penltentiary at Michigan City on May
o, 1909, after serving about eleven
months.
Green is under arrest in Cleveland. He
is one of the most remarkable criminals
in police annals. Early in 1895 he was
regarded as an ideal citizen and business
man Of Waynetown and Crawfordsville.
He controlled a bank IN Waynetown,
and was active in church work He had
a family. and lived in fine house on a
farm near Waynetown. While regarded
as one Of the leading citizens OF Mont
gomery County, he was leading a double
life. His horse thieving operations ex-
tended 70 almost every section OF the
state. Stolen horses traced to Wayne
town were not found. because they were
in one of Mr.. Green's barns. and no one
suspected the waynetown banker Of be-
lag a horse thief.

Getting Meet.

DR.. Albert Zahm. secretary OF the Aero
Club Of Washington. has returned from
New York with the assurance that every
notable American aviator believes College
Park is the place 10 hold the interna-
tional flying meet
He asserted yesterday that Curtiss has
reported favorably on the College Park
course as mapped out by the baltimore
Washington Committee. and Wilbur
Wright, who was present at a meeting
of the Aero Club OF America Monday,
spoke highly Of the plans offered.
Cortlandt Field Bishop is still said TO
be In favor of New York's aviation field,
and has not denied that he has offered
5000 to the meet committee in the event
the Manhattan proposition is accepted.
President Bishop admitted Washington
is a more desirable place for the scene
OF an international event, and that the
transportation facilities to College Park
are superior to those offered by Hemp
stead Plains. L. L. but he complained Of
the limited flying space here.
Though Paulhan has said the Washing
ton field is dangerous. his opinion viii
not weigh much when the final decision
is made, as It is doubtful whether he win
remain In this country.

soils, and beautiful fans added much 10
the Oriental atmosphere.

speech here tonight before the CONNER
cial Club. outlined his views on the con-
fliet between Federal and State authori-
ties In controlling interstate corporations.
Il know it is contended." he said, that
the Federal Congress has no right under
the Interstate clause OF the Constitution
to authorize the organization of CONNER
cial corporations. For my part, / do not
share that doubt. 1t is insisted that the
national authority is one Of enumerated
powers. and that the right to authorize
these business organizations cannot be in
ferred from any power that has been ex-
pressly given.
Right Belongs to Nation.
u do not believe that national gov
eminent. conceded 10 have the right to
authorize the organization OF national
banks. based upon an implied power, can
be denied the right TO organize business
corporations, implied from an express
power. 1 believe that the right TO con-
troll the commercial agencies 70 engage IN
interstate commerce is Just as clear as
the right to determine what kind OF arti-
cles shall be made the subject OF that
commerce.
with respect TO foreign trade, national
authority is even more clear.
The Federal corporation. once organ
lied for foreign purposes. in the nature
OF things must be active in the domestic
field. By the force OF circumstances it
must be engaged in interstate business.
and ultimately It viii deal in purely local
commerce.
THE United States cannot AFFORD to be
afraid of large problems. or Of enterprise
on large scale, That government must
be prepared 10 protect them. and is I'M
doubtedly prepared 20 control them
Much OF our embarrassment IS TO be
attributed to the plain fact that the
States have been graphing with impos-
sible conditions. This Is precisely what
the interstate commerce clause OF the
Constitution was intended TO anticipate
and to prevent The States have been
stubborn in the assertion OF rights whore
their Efforts must prove futile. and they
have neglected their opportunities where
measures might be Of infinite benefit TO
the general public"

COOPER'S SEVERITY
ROUSES CANNON'S IRE
Participation of Speaker in Debate Is Followed by One
of the Most Interesting Scenes Ever
Witnessed in House

Representative cooper's personal refer
ences to Speaker Cannon last night were
severe. They so aroused Mr.. Cannon that
he was finally compelled to take an
active part in the debate.
The appearance of the Speaker in the
discussion was followed by one Of the
most interesting scenes ever witnessed In
the House.
Mr.. Cooper had made the charge that
the Speaker had melted out punishment
TO the insurgents against the rules by
retiring them from committees upon
which they had served or by reducing
them in rank.
Speaker Rises to Explain.
The Speaker rose to explain, and after
he had told his story Mr. Cooper inter
rogated at length. not only Mr.. Cannon.
but three Republican insurgents who
are particularly aggrieved against the
Speaker. Mr. Cooper cited the case Of
Representative Gardner, of Massachu-
sets, He charged that the Craftsmanship
OF the Committee on Industrial Arts was
taken from Mr.. Gardner because Of his
activity in the insurgent ranks.
Mr.. Cannon had long since left the
chair and was standing with a group OF
members on the steps OF the Speakers
rostrum.
May interrupt the gentleman there7''
inquired Mr. Cannon
You may. SIR replied Mr.. Cooper
rs Mr.. Gardner here?" exclaimed the
Speaker. Il wish him TO tell the exact
facts"
Mr.. Gardner responded, stating in sub
stance that prior 10 the. organization of
the committees at the beginning OF this
Congress he was told that he could retain
his craftsmanship He had a converse
ton with the Speaker on the subject
Repeats His Conversation.
Mr.. Cannon told him he would be re-
appointed chairman OF the Industrial Arts
Committee. but that If he took it he
would have TO continue his activities with
the insurgent band or lay himself open
to the charge that he had tied UP with
the organization IN exchange for con-
tlnued service at the head of his COM
mittee.
At tuat tiihe MT HdtuheF contemplated
quitting the insurgent band. Mr.. Gard
ner then told the Speaker that he would
not take the Craftsmanship.
Are those the facts. Mr.. Speaker
asked Mr. Gardner.
They are, replied Mr. Cannon.

the effect that in the conference between

were TO be punished. and Mr.. Gardner
