Says Newspapers
Greatest Medium for
Medicinal Education

Chicago, March 12.--Calling newspa-
pers the greatest medium for medici-
nal education of the public, Dr. Morris
Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the
American Medical Association, ana
lyZed the press accounts of medical
news before members of the American
Medical Association today, at the clos
ing session of the annual congress on
medical education, licensure, public
health and hospitals.
DR.. Fishbein laid particular empha-
sis on the tendency of newspapers to
print "new" discoveries that are not
new or in any way established.
The cures for tuberculosis, for can
Ger, and for pneumonia, have become
the bane of medical life" he said.
THE moment such announcements
are broadcast, physicians are besieged
by patients for cures they are unable
to give because the newness of the
discoveries does not warrant any ac-
curate judgment.
''On the whole, however, editors are
beginning to realize more and more
that medical topics demand men of
special training" he said, in telling Of
the publicity machine built by the
medical association to combat at
tenpts of publicity seeking quaclis."
Dr.. Fishbcin said that due to lack

Stokes Conspiracy
Case Will Go to
Jury This Afternoon

Chicago, March 12.--The trialsof ".
z. D. Stokes. 73-year-old New York
millionaire, and Robert L. Lee. Chi
cago negro, charged with conspiracy
to defame Mrs. Helen Ellwood Stokes,
will end tomorrow afternoon.
c. +. Rathbun. counsel for Mr..
Stokes. addressed the jury three and
one-half hours today after Milton ID.
Smith, assistant states attorney, had
ended a plea of the same length. To-
morrow Rathbun will conclude his
argument, after which W. W. Smith.
assistant states attorney, will close
for the prosecution.
After the luncheon recess Judge
Gemmill will read his charge to the
jury.
After Mr.. Smith had concluded his
arraignment of Mr.. Stokes as a dollar
marked octopus with long tentacleS
which reached into the old underworld
OF Chicago and elsewhere throughout
the country to dirty up his wife in
an effort to bolster up a divorce suit.
Rathbun painted his client as an "old
; man obsessed by one 1dea-that his
wife had done something wrong who
legally and without malicious intent
sought to get the matter Strengthened
out.
There may be lot of evidence In
this case that will make YOU say
Stokes was darned old fool, but you
can't say there was evidence of Grim
inal conspiracy" said Rathbun-a
speech that brought the blood to Mr..
Stokes face as he shifted nervously
in his chair. Rathbun, referring to
Mrs. Stokes, shouted:
"If it Is vindication She wants, I'll
give it to her now. l don't believe she
ever was a member of the EverleiEh
Club, or that she was an associate of
colored men,"
1t was his investigation of reports
to him that his wife formerly was
known in the long suppressed club
which led to the Indictment of Stokes
and Lee
Mr.. Stokes this afternoon was made
defendant in a civil suit filed by Joe
Brunes. taxicab driver who during the
, trial testified that he guided the aged
millionaire through the old restricted
district in search of information
against Mrs. Stokes.
