On Indictments
Reminds Thut True Bill

In Discussing Case

Using an exclamation mark for
punctuation, the Journal of the
American Medical Association, in an
editorial in its latest issue, dis
cusses the recent indictment of or
ganized medicine by Federal grand
jury here with the declaration AN
indictment is not a conviction!"
The Journal. edited by DR.. Morris
Fishbein, one of the 2l doctors
indicted, along with four organiza-
tions of physicians, says editorially:
apparently the grand jury which
examined only witnesses called by
the attorneys of the Department
of Justice and such documents as
were subpoenaed from the head
quarters Office believed with MI.

ney General in charge of trust
prosecution) that such an indict-
ment would be one way of Clarity
ing the law, which it seems the De-
psttment of Justice finds con-
fusing.'
Indictment Is Printed.
The complete text of the 27-page
indictment is printed by the Jour-
nal, which explains, however, that
space is not available in this index
number to recapitulate for our
readers the chronologic history of
this case; the complete record will
be made available in an early
issue
physicians should remember, in
the meantime" said the editorial,
that every action of the associa-
ton has had the approval of the
House of Delegates; that every step
has been in the interest of ad-
vancing medical science and the
quality of medical service for all
the people; that the House of Dele
gates has already authorized the
board of trustees to fight this case
to the courts of last resort to de-
termine the issue"
Nc Bench Warrants.
The indictment was returned by
an additional grand jury here De-
cember 20. after nearly 10 weeks
of investigation. 1t charges COM
bination and conspiracy in restraint
Of trade against the American Med
ical Association, the Medical Society
of the District of Columbia, the
Washington Academy of Surgery Of
this city, the Harris County Med
ical Society of Houston, Tex. and
81 physicians of Chicago and WASH
ington.
No bench warrants will be issued
for arrest of the defendants, but it
is expected they will be presented
by their counsel to authorities of
the Federal Government shortly,
as preliminary to what probably
will be long drawn out court bat
tie. The Chicago defendants prob
ably will go before United States

bond, but will be released on their

Congress 10
Grant Vote
New Year Meeting
Voices Strong Appeal
In Districts BehdIf

The Association of Oldest In
habitants today appealed to the
Congress which convenes tomorrow
to grant national representation for
the District Of Columbia.
Action was taken at the annual
New Year meeting of the associa-
ton in Old Union Engine House
when the organization adopted, as
an expression of its own, mes
sage" to Congress read by Fred A..
Emery, a vice president.
The communication, which voiced
a plea on behalf of the voteless
residents of this city, is to be for
warded officially in a manner to
be decided by the executive COM
mittee Of the association.
Proctor Reviews Year.
Another feature of the meeting
was the annual review of the past
year presented by John Clagett
Proctor. a vice president of the
association, and its chronicler. Mr..
Proctor touched on the high lights
of 1898.
The associations message to Con-
gress pointed to the contribution
rendered by the voteless Washing
tonians toward the upbuilding and
maintenance of the National Capt.
tai and set forth several arguments
as to why Congress at this session
should grant the vote.
Specifically, the association asked
for adoption "of a constitutional
amendment to provide national
representation in both houses of
Congress and in the electoral COL
lege, for the American taxpayers of
the greatest municipality on earth
inequality of Taxation.
Raising the old and traditional
cry of taxation without represen-
tation,' the association pointed out
that this city pays in taxes more
than many of the States and more
than nine of the States combined.
Mr.. Emery in his message, adopt
ed by the association, objected to
the impression that Washingtonians
live by the grace and indulgence
of paternalistic Federal Govern
ment."
"Washingtonians are self sustain
ing" declared the message.
They pay for what they get as
time marches on. They are bona
fide Americans In all but the vote
which Congress still withholds. The
taxpayers of Washington build up
and maintain the city of Washing
ton, save for those Federal areas
whose every encroachment means
less District revenue and more Dis
trict taxation for the responsible
taxpayers of Washington.
Theodore w. Noyes, president of
the association. who presided, ex-
changed New Year fluctuations with
the organization.
