organization as February 3, when the

tion Of new members Of the committee
will ba made by districts on February :.

There was considerable discussion OF
the statement made by Mr.. Lee in Wash
ington. in which he said that President
Taft cannot carry Indiana The MEM
bers declared that Lee had not ex-
dressed the sentiment of the committee.
He replied that he had spoken only as
an individual and not as chairman.
A resolution was then adopted saying
that Lee did not express the sentiment
of the members OF the committee when
he made the Washington statement.
Lee is a candidate for reelection, but
the sentiment Of the committee is so de-
cidedly against him that it is believed
he will withdraw.
Everything at the meeting was clearly
in favor OF Mr., Taft.

DISGUISED AS A MAN
Continued from first page.

Of her experience, and they swore ven
geance.
Staracio visited Annie again several
days ago at the factory. He was brutal
to her, the girl said and demanded that
she support him Annie was afraid and
promised the man she would give him
money on Saturday Yesterday she
went to the Harlem court and asked the
magistrate for a warrant. She was told
10 point him out to a patrolman and he
would be arrested.
The little Italian girl determined on a
quicker and more certain method Of
avenging her wrongs. In the evening
she slipped noiselessy into her father )
room and put on his garments. Then
she armed herself with the knife and
silently left the house.
While she was tracking the accused
man, step by step, confident that she
would make him atone for his treatment
of her, her plan was foiled by the pa
trolman, and he said that the girl wept
bitterly when she realized that revenge
had been snatched from her.

FEARS FEDERAL POWERS
Gov. Baldwin Deplores Stretch
ing of the Constitution.

Buffalo Dec 27.-Control Of state au-
thorities by inferior United States courts
has developed TO such an extent that the
people are becoming impatient, asserted
Governor Simeon f.. Baldwin OF Connecti-
cut. at the opening of the twenty-seventh
annual meeting of the American Historical
Association and the eighth annual meeting
Of the American Political Science Associa-
ton in joint session here tonight lie
said
If some Of the recent decisions OF the
courts are not disafirmed the judicial
power Of the United States apparently will
extend to any justicable controversy aris-
ing I'm any OF the states. although per-
tanning to mere matters of local concern.
And still the federal Constitution is feXi-
BILE enough TO bear a construction sup
porting legislation by Congress far in ad-
vance OF anything hitherto attempted.
Governor Baldwin's topic was THE Pro-
gressive Unfolding of the Powers of the
United States" In addition to advanced
interpretations OF the Constitution, Gov
ernOr Baldwin found a real danger in the
recent utterance of a President that he
was for a Constitution when 1t conserved
the peoples rights, but not when it per-
petuated the peoples wrongs. Governor
Baldwin said:
The danger is that a Chief Magistrate
by some stretch Of his executive or mill
tary authority may come to play the part
of a dictator. II IS only remote possi-
biity. but the science which we profess
warns us that great powers are apt some
times TO be abused and that the fathers
were right when they declared that eter-
nal vigilance was the price of liberty.

hold il TO the reflection Of thy congregation,
as many there are cOnveXed and concaVed

Material Reduction in Wholesale
Prices of Hogs and Cattle.

Chicago. Dec. 27-Steady increase in chi
cagos fresh meat industry is shown in the
annual report Of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit Company, issued to-day by the Of
fetal statistician. II shows that 10000 car
ads more Of livestock were received last
year than the year before The total re-
ceived was 27l 900 cars.
In addition, the horse market here looked
up materially, 22.Oc0 head more being
shipped to the Chicago market in 1911 than
i'm 1910. Prices also were higher.
The statistics indicate that prices for cat
tie and hogs decreased in 1911, compared
with the previous twelve months. For beef
cattle the price a 100 pounds is given as 50
cents less. with hogs the average price
last year was S. 20, while year ago IT was
approximately IS 20
In numbers beef cattle receipts fell on
123O00 head from the preceding year. total
number Of o.9S000O appearing for slaughter.

the high cost Of living. which hit the fresh
meat industry hard. More calves were re-
ceived, however. by 5000 head, there being
$50 900 brought in. The sheep market was
strong. 5,7l4,OO0 being received, nearly 100000

FEAR FOR WILSON'S HEALTH
Governor, However, Denies Re-
ported Warning from Physician.
TBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. J


Atlantic City, n. j.. Dec. 27.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson has strict orders from his
personal physician that he must not make
any publ, addresses until after the close Of
the impending session Of the New Jersey
Legislature. according to a message con-
veyed to the New Jersey Teachers Asso-
citation. at the annual convention which
convened here this afternoon.
Governor Wilson had been scheduled 10
make an address. but in his place President
Powell G.. Fithian. Of Camden, conveyed
the message TO the association. President
Fithan said that the Governor had told
him that the physician had defined n line
Of conduct with a warning that II must be
strictly followed if Governor Wilson hoped
to avoid consequences that would have inn
portant bearing on his political future.
When Governor Wilson was told tonight
at Princeton of the statement made by
President Fithian. he said he was aston
ished that such a statement should be
made.
There is absolutely no foundation for
such a rumor," he SAID, Il am perfectly

SAYS DENTISTS MAY TALK
Relations with Patrons Not Con-
fidential, Court Holds.

Justice Seabury, Justice Cohalan and
Justice Guy, sitting in the Appellate Term
of the Supreme Court, decided yesterday
that a dentist was not u surgeon in the
legal sense Of the term. and that he did
not enjoy the privilege of refusing to di-
vuise the nature OF his professional re-
lations with his patients accorded to
physicians. surgeons and nurses
Frank W. Howe, dentist. sued the ex-
ecutors of the estate of Edward Regens-
burg for services for which the defendants
refused to pay. lie got verdict in the
Municipal Court, and the executors ap-
pealed on the ground that Howe had re-
vealed information he obtained in his pro-
fessional capacity. The Appellate Term
sustained the judgment. Justice Seabury
wrote the opinion Of the three justices, in
which he said:
In the early days in England the province
OF the dentist was not recognized except aS
IL fell within the scope Of the function OF the
barber surgeon whose multitudinous du-
ties often included those not only OF the
barber and surgeon, but the physician and
dentist as well.
Within quite recent times it was GUS
tomary for BARRIERS and blacksmiths to ex-
tract teeth. Formerly the work OF filling
and plating teeth was frequently performed
by the jeweller a process of integration
and differentiation has taken place, and the
separate and distinct profession of dem
tstry mas come into existence.
That this specialization has resulted
benencially TO the community and that
dentistry has now become a highly devel-
oped science, requiring Of its practitioners
advanced knowledge and skill. is doubtless
true, but this fact does not initiate against
the construction Of Section S4 of the Code
ot civil Procedure excluding dentist from
the operation Of its provisions
There Is clear evidence in the statutes Of
this state Of legislative intent to regard
the two professions Of medicine and Neu-
tstry as separate and distinct.
