form, either. and cocaine will soon pass
out of general usage by the medical
profession IL the movement which was
started at the sixty-third annual ses-
sion of the American Medical Associa-
tion meets with the favor that was ap-
parent as soon as the report of the
committee on anesthesia was read
The committee is composed of such
eminent surgeons as DIR. Yandell Hen
derson, Of Connecticut; DR.. Thomas s.
Cullen, of Baltimore: DR.. T. w. Hunt
ington, of San Francisco; DR.. e. Dene-
gree Martin, OF New Orleans; and DR..
Fred 7. Murphy, of st. Louis. These
men are all prominent in the affairs
or the association, and they have the
courage of their convictions In that
anything which they say will Of neces-
sity have great weight with the pro-
fession.
( In their report the use of chloroform
{ is characterized as absolutely unjustifi-
able, and they cite numerous incidents
where the patients have died the sec
ond day or SO after an operation and
where the doctors have said that the
operation was a success, but that the
patient died of other causes.
. They also point out the fact that
ether should never be used without
oxygen. and that there is no occasion
for such a sleep producer now that
I newer methods have been discovered
! Cocaine, worst of all anesthetics, has
made a race of fiends that are con-
stantly looking to the man who first
gave them their taste as the one who
is responsible for their downfall.
The men who have been charged
with the Investigation of this import
ant subject advocate the use of nitrous
oxide, or, as the drug trade call IT, nj
trous oxidoxygen.
So sanguine are the delegates here
If the adoption Of the report that there
IS already a movement OH foot to

surgeon to administer this anesthetic
properly and with the easiest methods
; Many of the causes of defective Wis
ion arc attributed 20 the Use Of wood
alcohol as sn adrlterant and the med
l"al profession has taken cogniZance
of the had results that have followed
the in'!iscrl,ninate use Of this drug.

 In his remarks at the Masonic banquet, where were seated Masons of high de- gree from all over the world, President Taft referred to himself as "a poor, hum ble. Master Mason in their sight" He discussed world wide peace and also took occasion to pass few pleasantries with Governor Marshall

 Conferences between the French pre- mier and the foreign ambassadors and ministers, which started early today. cuI- minated tonight with prolonged exam ination of the whole situation by M. Poincare and NJ. Sazonoff at the foreign office. The fact that the Russian states man, immediately after a fatiguing jour ney, repaired to the Quai D'Orsay and plunged into a complicated controversy is taken as proof that the powers recog- nize they Nave little time in which to avert war. For nearly two hours the two ministers consulted over Balkan af- fairs. M. Poincare, who had seen the German, Russian. British and Italian am bassadors and the Bulgarian, Greek, Ser vian and Montenegrin ministers at yari- ous periods throughout the day, was in a position fully to acquaint the Russian foreign minister with the views held by all interests concerned. The ministers parted at near midnight to meet again early tomorrow morning to more fully develop measures proposed as best call culafed to avert war.
 The powers, it is known, have re
