EXTRA. FINANCE FEE
IS INT BY DOCTORS
Added Charge for Loans to
Enable Patients to Pay
Bills Is Opposed.

The Medical Society of the District
has gone on record in opposition to the
principle of extra charges by finance
corporations in providing money for
medical treatment.
The society adopted a resolution dis
approving of the practice after receipt
of reports that certain financing con-
Germs were handling notes for medical
care on the basis of the physicians
actual bill, Is per cent addition, and
interest. This system enables the doc
tor to get his money promptly, but is
considered by some members of the So
cicty as contrary to medical ethics, since
1t involves hardship on the patient.
A thorough study now is under way
of means to reduce medical fees for
families in moderate circumstances.
The resolution, it was explained, does
not mean that the society necessarily
frowns on firms engaged in financing
medical service for individuals, but OPP
poses the general principle of extra
charges for such service.
Henry Kaufman and Philip Rosen-
field, representing the Medical Finance
Association of washington, declare that
some of the city's foremost physicians
have accepted the financing arrange
ments of the firm.

question is getting into politics. The

Presbytery of Glasgow, alarmed when
a member of the Glasgow town council
stated that all municipal courses in the
city should be open on Sunday, called
meeting and appealed to the people to
vote at elections for only those who
pledged support to Sunday observance.
The United Church also has been asked
to throw its strength at the polls to
those who favor quiet Sundays.

These facts answer any suggestion
that a Nicaragua Canal might divert
business from the Panama Canal to
such an extent as to impair the latter's
usefulness. Consideration of the in
creasing commerce between the east
and west coasts of the United States
and the east and west coasts of the
South and Central Americas will show
that before many years there will be
ample business for both waterways.
Based on Thorough Survey.

The interest aroused by President
Hoover's Latin American travels, and

that our trade with both Central and

Another significant example of trade

II seems to me apparent that inn

help, but not entirely remedy, the stu
etion thus threatened. A supplementary
water supply has already been author
lied, but this can do little more than
assure maximum use Of existing facili-
ties. A great need for additional water
is now felt during the dry season, and

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 90, 186O.-Beau Hickman,
once such a gay and gallant character,
who figured conSpicuously in Washing
ton City for many years, being noted
particularly for his politeneSS to mem
berS of Congress and others who would
pay him handsomely for being shown
the elephant" of Washington and va
rious other cities to which he might be
invited to accompany political celebri-
ties, has been arrested in New York,
according to word received here today.
He is charged with perpetrating some
kind Of swindle on a gentleman living
about Abingdon Square. The particu-
lars of the transaction have not yet
been aScertained.
Beau was taken to the New York
police headquarters and detained to
await further progress in the case.
During the absence of Detective Wilson,
who arrested him, Beau was very anX-
ious to go to the Metropolitan Hotel to
call on a gentleman from Washington,
whose aid he hoped to get in eXtricat-
ing himself from his difficulties, but he
was not permitted to depart from the
police headquarters.
Hickman Is apparently now ON the
wane, as his personal appearance. &C
cording to reports reaching here, is by
no means as gorgeous as it once was.
A large crowd assembled this morn
ing at IL O'Clock in the space opposite
the Bank of Washington to witness the
sale OF the snake show" by the bailiffS
who had seized it. It was a very rough
lot of goods and chattelS. The cases
were constructed of dry goods boxes,
except one or two small ones for birds.
The orchestra of the establishment con-
sisted OF one big drum. The receipts
from the sale amounted to $3178.
A large meeting of the citizens Of
Washington favorable to the establish
ment of horse railroad through Penn
Sylvania avenue from the Navy Yard to
Georgetown, with lateral branches
through the principal streets, was held
tonight in Temperance Hall. The sub
ject was discussed freely, after which
the bill reported for the action of Con-
gress last year was approved, with GER
tain notifications.
The notifications of last years plan
look to an extension of the proposed
horse railroad through Seventh street
from the boundary to the Potomac
River, and also through Fourteenth
street from Pennsylvania avenue to the
boundary. The meeting also directed
that 500 copies of the plan, including
the memorial and the bill, be printed for
distribution, and that the books be
opened at the Office Of George Mat
tingly, corner Of Pennsylvania avenue
and Sixth street, to allow those desir-
ing to take stock In the proposed rail-
road to subscribe.

no one in the marts of trade can point
to me with scorn, that I'm entitled to

some footing of my horn. I buy my
self stovepipe hat, my wife a new

have my auto rubber-tired, buy some
books I've long desired, when all my

lives dream of happy hours to come;
I buy corkscreW for my aunt and see
my lovely nieces shan't be shy Of chew
ing gum. Perhaps we grease the car
and slip away upon a gypsy trip to dis
tant dell and glade; we feel we're well
within our rights to thus indulge in
small delights when all the bills are
paid. But If we owe some scattered bills
for CordWood, butchers meat or pills, for
bread or cigarettes, call the household
to the hall, and say, We'll trim ex-
penses all, until we have no debts. All
luXuries we will cut out, we'll live on

they consider debt fright, to be sur
veyed with tears. And so we keep our

BY J. p. GLASS.


A Thames boatman whom j. M. w
Turner, the celebrated English land
scape artist, hired to take him sketchine
on the river refused to believe in the
painters greatness.
Him a great mani" he growled
Him a great man! Over the left!
Why, he takes out big bottle of gin
regular, and never axes me to have q
nip!"
It was the within of Turner, who re-
ceived immense sums for his paintings
to live in the most humble way. He
was never known to entertain any one
at dinner.
He attributed his penuriousness to
his father
During my boyhood," he explained,
my father never praised me except for
having saved a half-penny."
His father, William Turner, a barber,
lived with him after he had become
famous, and still influenced him to be
niggardly.
At 10 Turner was engaged to a
young lady of Margate. While he was
away on sketching trip the girls
mother intercepted his letters, per-
suaded her that her lover had forgotten
her and induced her to consent to
marry another man. Turner, returning
just before the wedding, was wild with
disappointment and grief. His sweet
heart would not listen to his pleas, how
ever, and married his rival.
The young painter turned mis-
anthrope, developed contempt for the
world, and dressed in the most careless
way. Fortune came to him, but he
lived in disreputable house which
came to be known as Turner's Den"
Visitors to this melancholy abode,
whose dingy windows were broken and
patched with paper, were met at the
door by an aged manServant, who stuck
his head out, said, you can't come in,'
and slammed the door shut again.
Fishing was Turner's favorite diver
sion, because 1t cost nothing. Dressed
from early morning until nightfall,
even in pelting rain-when he opened
large, dilapidated cotton umbrella
patiently absorbed, even though he
didn't get a nibble.
He hated to sell his favorite paintings.
They were portions of his being After
sale he would say, with tears in his
eyes, IT have lost one of my children"
An agent was sent to offer him
$4,000 for his two great pictures, 1.-THE
Rise and Fall of Carthage" for the
National Gallery"
"A noble Offer" said Turner, "but I
cannot part with them. Impossible"
Though niggardly, he could be
astonishingly generous with those of his
friends whom he knew to need help. A
man who had been kind to him in his
youth got into financial difficulties and
decided he would have to sacrifice the
magnificent timber on his estate.
Turner, hearing of this. sent him
100000. Later his friend was able to
repay it.

Lapin as Popular Coat Selection
BY MARY MARSHALL.

! change as often as those in cloth coats
an inexpensive coat Of fur that will
last surely as long as its style Is often
preferable to an expensive coat Of fur
that must be remodeled in order to
obtain its full term of usefulness.
One decided advantage of lapin is Its
lightneSS. The only furS that are lighter
are ermine, mole, chinchilla and squir-
rel, all of which are very much more
expensive.
Many of the new fur coats show a
| flare in the skirt portion. Some even
| dip at the back to follow the outline OF
the dresses with which they are to be
worn, but for street wear generally the
straight-line coat is acceptable and
practical, and beyond a doubt will con-
tinue to be SO for some time.
