DENTIST NOW EDITOR
DIR. Endelman Accepts Position of
Editor of Pacific Dental Gazette
Will Stay Here.

DR.. Julio Endelman of Ashland
well known in this region for his
accomplishments in dental surgery,
will henceforth also be known in Pa
cific coast journalism. He has Just
accepted a tender of the editorship
of one of the four greatest magazines
devoted to dentistry in the United
States-"The Pacific Dental Ga
zette," now published in San Fran
cisco.
The editorship came to DR.. Endel-
man entirely unsolicited and he has
accepted same with the proviso that
the work would not require his re-
moval from Ashland. He succeeds
Frank L. Platt who is known as one
of the bright and shining lights of
the fraternity in this country. OF
the several thousand dentists on the
coast large percentage were aspir-
ants for the mantle of Mr.. Platt, but
the editorship was urged upon DR..
Endelman by many of the fraternity
who knew of his activities along sim
liar lines in the east
DR.. Endelman is we'll equipped
mentally and through experience for
his new duties. After taking his de-
gree at the University of Paris he
came to America and entered the
University of Pennsylvania, from
which he also holds degree. Be
sides his literary degrees he is eligi-
BILE to practice both dentistry and
medicine. OF vast advantage to him
in his new work is his ability to re-
view writings in French, German,
Spanish and Italian as well as Eng
lish.
For eight years while in Pennsyl-
vania he was assistant editor of
Dental Cosmos" leading den
tai publication of America and a
magazine backed by ten million
dollar corporation. He was also at
that period an instructor and lectur-
er at the university. During his res
idence of several years in Ashland he
has hidden his light under a bush
ell" so to speak-only occasionally
! contributing to professional litera-
ture and devoting no time to issues
aside from his practice save as non
resident lecturer of the University
of Southern California at Los An
geles.
His abilities, however, were we'll
known outside of Ashland-perhaps
better than in Ashland-and through
them came the tender of the editor
ship above mentioned. His regime
begins with the August issue of the
publication-which is issued month
ly. 1t is a magazine of about one
hundred pages but trifle smaller
than the popular magazines. While
circulating largely in the coast states
it deals with wide range of topics,
interesting to the fraternity, gath
cred from the world at large.
Since coming to Ashland DR.. En-
delman has established an enviable
reputation in the various branches
of dentistry-in which he is not only
practitioner but a discoverer as
we'll. He has also made many
! friends who-it is needless to say
will wish him every success in jour
nalism.

SEAMEN'S SERVITuDE
BILL PASSES SENATE

Washington, D. c. Oct. 25.-The La
Toilette substitute for the "seamen's
;ervitude" bill, so amended as not to
affect the treaty relations of the Unit
ed States until the president has been
given an opportunity to readjust them,
passed the Senate yesterday at the end
pr a debate that was characterized
by unusual proceedings. In the end the
debate became a eulogy of Andrew
Furuseth, president of the Seamen's
union. who was lauded as the man
chiefly responsible fer the passage of
the bill. Mr.. Furuseth, who sat in a
Senate gallery throughout. the debate,
was declared by Senator La Toilette,
republican, and Senator Williams,
democrat, to have worked in Washing
ton for many years at a seaman's
pay" to secure legislation improving
the working conditions of his fellow
sailors.
The La Toilette substitute differed in
many respects from the original bill,
which passed both houses of congress
last winter, but which did not meet
with the approval of President Taft.
Its chief provisions would require i'm
proved working quarters and working
conditions on ships; increase the re-
Quirements for safety appliances and
efficiency of sailors; release sailors
from some of the stringent regula-
tons that compel them to remain with
ships when in foreign ports, and would
direct the abrogation of any treaties
That prohibit the enforcement of the
provision against foreign ships coming
to American ports.

FORGED CERTIFICATES
REVEAL CLEVER PLAN

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 27.--A novel
form of fraud has developed in a sys-
TEN of selling forged certificates of
satisfactory former employment on
railroads. So many cases have come
to light where railroads have been de-
ceived by forged papers, apparently
signed by Pennsylvania road officials,
that b company has undertaken an
exhaustive investigation.
Most of the forged letters that have
been located so far have purported to
come from the ~Schuylkin division of
the Pennsylvania railroad. and they
have been presented by applicants for
work to California railroads. Accord
ingly, q searching inquiry was made in
San Francisco. to which place a mum
Der of the certificates had been traced.
Here it was learned hat the proprietor
of a cigar store made a charge of 81

Rs cents, would d a few pencil no

statehood and Independence, We're adj
vocated today at the Lake Mohonk
conference of the Friends of Indians
and Other Dependent Peoples. Some
of the speakers thought the island
should be admitted to statehood;
others believed the solution of the
problem lay in giving the Porto Ricans
independence under the protectorate Of
the United States. The most urgent
advocate of independence was Jose De
Diego, speaker of the Porto Rican
house of delegates. The Rt. Rev.
James H. Van Buren,, Episcopal
bishop of Porto Rico from 1902 to 1912,
