AN OLD OFFENDER

Something unusually drastic and
effective will have to be done to the
osteopaths if they continue to cure
people after the regular physicians
have given them up. For the first Of
Tense there could be a moderate fine;
If the offense is repeated, the fine could
be doubled and a term of imprison-
ment added. The license could also
be taken away and the wicked and
reprehensible osteopath would thus not
permitted to practise any more; for
it is quite obvious that if osteopaths
continue to cure people, the regular
be permitted to practise any more; for
trolls the laws and the liberties of the
majority, might eventually have to go
out of business. This at present. how
ever, is not seriously contemplated by
the regular medical profession.
Here, for example, is the case of
young Alfred Payne, of Havana, Ill,
about which something certainly
ought to be done. Some time ago
Alfred Payne was injured during play
so that his head was twisted in such
manner that his neck became dislo-
Gated. In a few days the boy became
unable to walk or care for himself.
His father, having visited all the reg
ular physicians in his part of the
country, had also taken him to Peoria.
A surgeon in one of the hospitals at
that place, he states, told him that the
case was practically hopeless Many
other surgeons pronounced the boy
cripple for life. Many X-ray pictures
were taken No regular doctor. how
ever, gave any hope.
Unfortunately for the regular medi-
cal profession, DIR. George NJ. Laugh
lin, wicked osteopath, got his hands
on young Alfred and cured him al
most Immediately. After manipulate
ing the muscles of his neck for several
days the head was replaced in proper
position. The hoy is now able to walk
as well as ever. He has been cured
when he was pronounced incurable by
the Regulars
Ought not this to be stopped? Shall
csteopaths be allowed to cure after
being denounced by the Old School p

METHODISTS CLASH
OVER PLAN TO NAME
ONLY 5 NEW BISHOPS
Rev. DIR. Buckley, Philadelphia,
Offers Motion to Send Report
Urging Ceven Back to
Committees
ACTION DELAYS voT$1oN

SARATOGA SPRINGS. N. ", May 15.-
Confusion, bordering on an uproar, marked
the recommitment of the report of the
Committee on Episcopacy at the Methodist
general conference today, recommending
seven new bishops. Efforts were made to re-
commit, with instructions to reduce the
number to five bishops, and TO include Sim
gapore, India, as one of the Episcopal resi-
dences.
The motion to reduce was argued on the
basis that the cost of supervision in the
church was already too heavy for the mem-
bers to bear.
In the parliamentary mix-up that fol-
lowed and after numerous amendments and
substitutes were offered, the Rev. Or. George
II. Buckley, of Philadelphia, moved that the
report be sent back to the committee. The
motion was carried, but loud cries for
division were raised from all parts of the
floor Bishop Frank w. Bristol, who pre-
sided, ruled that the question was settled
and that no formal motion to reopen the
matter was made.
This action of the conference is expected
to delay the voting on bishops for two
days.
Twenty cities In the United States were
recommended for Episcopal residences dur
ing the next quadrennium by the Committee
on Bpiscopacy including Washington, Phil
adelphia and New York
Zurich, Buenos Aires. Pekin, Shanghai
and Seoul are the foreign cities selected by
the committee for bishops

SCOTT'S REPORT BRIGHTENS

This was the tip passed out from
official circles today. Various reasons were
cited. But, analyzed, they all agreed that

President Wilson and Secretary of War
Baker. He was plainly hopeful that an
amicable agreement would be reached be-
tween the Government and the de facto
Government of Mexico. But he positively
refused to discuss anything that had taken
place. inistsing that he must report to the
President and Secretary first
SCOTT OPTIMISTIC.
The Secretary held brief conference
with the General after he arrived at the
department Afterward he was brimful of
confidence that the real crisis had been
averted by the diplomacy of his chief lieu
tenant and said:
It may be several days before we can
reach complete agreement on the
Mexican situation But General Scott
is very hopeful He has explained to
me that he presented the petition of the
United States to General Obregon, and,
naturally, we believe that when the
Mexican War Minister reaches Mexico
City his views will be reflected in the
attitude of the de facto Government
The situation is at least far from being
very dangerous.

That the Administration was convinced
that there was no immediate dynamite
In the Mexican situation was shown by the
abandonment of the plan to have the chief
of the army general staff report at once
to the President. Instead, 1t was said that
unless the President sends for General
Scott he will hardly report to him until
after tomorrows Cabinet meeting. General
Scot was exhausted on his arrival here
