DOCTORS WILL SEE
PHOTOGRAPHY TEST
Color Portrait of Prof. W. w.
Keen TO BE Made by DIR.
Nathan Beers.

An interesting demonstration Of color
photography will be made this morning
in the Brooklyn Hospital by Or. Nathan
Beers, a specialist in skin diseases at
tached TO that institution, who Is said
by experts TO have developed the
photography OF colors to perfection.
Dr. Beers has applied his art chiefly
TO the registering Of different stages OF
skin troubles. but his demonstration this
morning will be the making OF a por-
trait of Prof. W. W. Keen. dean OF
American surgery and professor emer-
titus OF surgery in Jefferson Medical
College. Philadelphia.
The present method OF color photog-
raphy. called kodachrome. was first de-
veloped in the laboratory Of the East
mar Kodak Company. in Rochester. a
laboratory fitted up for the express pur-
pose OF developing that art at an ex-
pense OF 3250,O0o. But experts who
have seen Or. Beers's work say that
with a comparatively small outlay he
has produced better work than has been
done In the Eastman Laboratories. He
tAt pAls w ~ TsdrN-
man method about six months Ago.. and
applied his scientific training and an
experience of twenty-five years as an
ardent photographer to the work. He
has spent about 1000 ON 1t In that
time.
The plates Or. Beers has made Of
caucerous and other diseases of the
skin are startling in their lifelike quail
ity. He has written a hook on his ex-
periments and Is illustrating 1t with
plates made from his photographs, The
value of such photography in aiding
the comparative study OF disease he be-
lieves will be very great, as exact con-
ditions can he registered at intervals
and the progress of the disease and
trea studied at any time.
After the demonstration in the Brook
Ign Hospital at 10 o'clock, which will
be attended by many prominent sur
geons and physicians OF New York and
Brooklyn, they will be guests at a lunch

X WITH CARRANZA.
Wilson Impatient over Ills Oh
stinncy In Peace Plan.

WASHINGTON. June 17.-omcIals of the
Administration are beginning to show i'm
patience over the failure OF Carranza
10 give some sign that he Is willing to
compose his differences with the other
warning factions in Mexico. and there
are signs tina President Wilson is
vexed by Carranza's obstinacy.
II is understood that Consul John n.
silliman at Vera Cruz has been directed
70 confer with the First Chief with n
view TO ascertaining whether he has
finally decided to let things drift as at
present without any attempt TO adj
just Mexico's trouble through peaceful
means. So far C%arranza has made no
response to the prefer OF Gen. Villa
TO enter peace negotiations.
In fact. representatives Of Carranza
have spurned the peace overtures made
in behalf OF villa and others Identified
with the convention Government. A
continuance of his present attitude Is
likely to forec,ose any possibility OF
recognition OF Carranza by this Govern
ment.
There is good reason to believe that
no IuTlNcT ulploIldAlS sAtpc wa uc a'N'H
by the President relative to Mexico until
a permanent successor to Mr.. Bryan AZ
the head of the State Department has
been chosen.
Robert Lansing. whose appointment as
Secretary ad interim will expire on
July s. is at present engrossed In ques-
lions arising out OF the European war
and has so far given no serious con-
Nderation to the Mexican situation. II
IL believed that Mr.. Lansing will get
the State portfolio, although a ANAL de-
cision has not been reached.
Adv.ces were received at the State
Department to-day that Rear Admiral
Howard has left San Diego on his flag
ship with 800 marines and 800 blue
Jackets, with orders to land at Tobari
Bay and march inland to Esperanza,
where n colony ~ Americans are mem
aced by Yaqui Indians, N he finds on
his arrival OF the west coast that cir
cumstances warrant such action.
The Carranza agency In this city to-
day received a despatch stating that the
C~arranzistas are extending their sphere
OF influence in Mexico and reporting
further victories over villa. The state
ment Is made that conditions are i'm
proving and that foodstuffs are being
admitted free of duty. The agency an
nounced further that villa is ~evacuating
Aguascalientes on his retreat north and
ne Is reported to be bound for Torreon.
The Carranza agents state that Villas
army at present does not exceed 5000
men.
