BETTER MEDICAL LAWS
State Meeting at Hutchinson Wants
Registration of Nurses.

From the standpoint of the laity, the
most important event of the State
Medical society meeting, at Hutchin-
son, which came to a close Thursday
night, was the recommendation of GER
tain laws regarding public health and
the registration of doctors and nurses.
1t was advised by the council of the
society that one board of medical reg
istration be maintained by the state,
for the purpose of protecting the pub
lie against charlatans. DR.. Crumbine
of Topeka, and DR.. c. c. Goddard, OF
Leavenworth, appealed to the doctors
to lend their personal support which
will result in action regarding the
prosecution of quacks, and those who
break state medical laws, in their own
communities.
Among those in attendance, at the
Hutchinson meeting, there were about
twenty old graduates of the Topeka
School of Medicine, who together with
the doctors from Topeka, surrounded
the festal board at the Bisonte hotel
Wednesday evening.
The physicians who went to the So
c1ety meeting, from this city were:
Dr. D. e. Esterly, DR.. H. S. Alkire, DR..
w. E. McVey, DR.. L. H Mum, Dr. c.
A Mcguire and DR.. r. B. Stewart.

ID. f. Perkins of Topeka a Suicide in
Kansas City.

Lack of money and the affection OF
Annette Hickman McNulty is supposed
to have caused D. E. Perkins of To-
peka, to commit suicide by swallowing
a quantity of carbolic acid in the Hotel
Edward in Kansas City Thursday. He
was found dead in his room at the hotel
with a note lying close by requesting
that the woman be notified of his act.
A bottle which had contained carbolic
acid also was found close to him.
D. E. Perkins is we'll known in To-
peka He with two other men and Mrs
Hickman and her niece, Iva Hickman
were arrested by the I,llice on the
charge of disorderly conduct at 1926
Polk street, several weeks ago The
men forfeited their bonds and the
charges against the women. were dis
missed on a compromise. The women
then moved to 1909 Lane street, but
were forced to move under similar cir
cumstanceS, a short time later.
Annette Hickman was formerly the
wife of Charles Hickman, who was en-
gagged as a contracting plasterer until
several months ago. They were Ill
vorced and he left the city. Mrs. Hick-
man was given the custody of three lit
tie girls who ranged from ten to
three years of age. These children
were taken to the police station with
her when she was arrested on the dis
orderly charge.
1t is reported that she has left the
city and could not be found today.
