FEE SPLITTING UNDER BAN
Nebraska Medical Association Will
Expel Member Guilty of Act.
NO DIVISION OVER SUBJECT
Report of Special Committee FRvors
Drastic RuIc aud Members In
Accord when subject Pre-
seated to Convention.

LINCOLN. MAY l4-tSpecial The
practice of fee splitting will no longer be
tolerated by the Nebraska state Medical
association. Any member Who Is suUty
OF this oftenso will be expelled from the
organization for at least two years and
a second offeuse in case he is reelected
to membership, viii mean his permanent
disqualification for membership in any
county medical association in the state.
These drastic REMEDIES were provided
for this morning in resolution that un-
animously passed the convention as a
whole and was again approved by the
Board Of Councillors. The resolution. in
troduced by the special committee APP
pointed at the last convention to in
vcstigate the practice or fee splitting,
provides for the appointing OF a com
mittee to investigate all charges whercin
any member Of the society is accused Of
accepting giving or soliciting fee for
the referring OF patient from one in
dividual to another.
Provide for ExpulsiOn.
Conviction on such a charge will be
followed by expulsion from the county
society OF which the offending physician
Is a member. The convicted practitioner
may appeal from the decision OF the com,
m!ttee to the board of councillors and
the evidence will be again be gone over.
DR.. w. o. Henry, DR. II. clifford. DR..
Robert McConoughy. DR.. H. p. Hamilton
and DR.. A. ID. Nesbit, who composed the
committee, presented the resolution after
a thorough examination of the situation
in the state, wherein several hundred let
ters were sent out through the state to
ply ysicians in all sections, nqurng as
to the practice at large. The majority
OF the society members admitted the
practice was prevalent and deplored its
existance.
Cause of Practice,
Many OF those questioned believed the
practice to arise at least partially from
the uneqRl basis Of fees for practitioners
and specialists. The committee recon-
mended that il the fees of physicians and
the society take some action to stand
ardize fees in all lines OF practice.
Hastings was named as the convention
city for 1916, when the state association
will meet the first week in May. DR.. j.

dent and DIR. ]. McGirr OF Beatrice and

Were Scattered Around In
Hands Of People of
Influence.

WASHINGTON, May "details Of
financial methods of the New Haven
railroad in the acquisition OF subsidiaries,
particularly the New York, Westchester
e. Boston. was disclosed to the Inter-
state Commerce commission today by
Charles Mellen former president Of the
New Haven.
Mr. Mellen, with apparent trankness,
told OF his negotiations with former Po-
lice inspector Thomas F. Byrnes Of New
York for the exchange of 5000 New Haven
shares for 24,0OO shares OF Westchester
stock, because he thought that Byrnes
had influence with people who ''it was
necessary to reach" Mr.. Mellen bluntly
said he would have been willing to deal
with the devil or anybody else" in the
transaction.
In the course Of the examination Mr.,
Folk asked
When you became president or the
New Haven, what was the policy OF the
directors in obtaining securities of troll
ley roads and steamship companies?"
In Accord with Policy.
They were getting control Of such
holdings. was in accord with this
policy"
Mr.. Folk took up the acquisition OF the
New York, westchester & Boston Rail-
road company by the New Haven and
Mr.. Mellen said: "As ] recall the de-
tails, 5000 shares of the New Haven were
put In my hands in escrow to be ex-
changed for 1900 shares of the West
chester stock as soon as matters in con-
neetion with the franchise OF the West
chester road were settled"
The value at that time OF the 5000
shares Of New Haven was 81 ,9Oo,OOO.
with whom did you deal in regard to
the exchange Of stock?" asked Mr.. Folk.
Former Police Inspector Thomas F.
Byrnos"
What was your idea in regard to Mr.
Byrnes Arranging all this?'
Had Suspicion.
We'll, had a suspicion that the West
chester shares were scattered around in
the hands Of some people Of influence"
Mr.. MelIen said that power to grant
the franchise of the Westchester road
was in the hands OF the board Of esti-
mate of New York City. and continued
when 1 was carrying on this trans
action through Mr.. Byrnes had hunch
he could reach people OF influence in
regard to having the changes made in
the proposed charter wanted to reach
the people it was necessary to reach. |
wanted to reach the devil or anybody
else who could amend the charter"
Were the arrangements for the ex-
change of securities made in Wrlting?'
mo, I was willing to sign an agree
ment, but the other party was not"
Asked as to the names that appeared
on Weslchester shares as holders of
stock, Mr.. Mellen said: THE shares
apparently we're made out in the names
of clerks and others"
Mr.. Mellen said he believed an at
tempt was made to conceal the owners
OF the stock"
1T is my suspicion" he added, 'the
shares we're issued to contractors, who
then placed them where they would do
the most good"
