"Whm th public understands that medicine la not mytnolocy or theology, but the result of the physical laws of chemistry, biology and physlolog'.y ap- plied to anatomic condition, tb.r will support this type of medicine." sU Dr. John B. Murphy, of Chicago. president of tha American Medical Association, and on of tha foremost surgeons of tha I'nltt I States, at tha Portland yes. terday. There can ba. when properly understood, no mors limi about ths facts of medicine than there ars Ism about t.. fact of gravitation." As prvsldem of tha American Medical ' Association. Pr. Murphy will seek ths accomplishment of two objects. He and his associates will give their earn- st support to Senator Owen's Mil. pending In Conitress. which provides for a National health organization with a pla-a In tha president's Cabinet. Dr. Murphy also proposes a campaign of education by which tha laity may be coma mora acquainted with medicines, their properties and their uses. Cdocallon of Public 1'rgcd. "There Is urgent need for the medl ral fraternity to take the public Into Its confident-..- explained Dr. Murphy. -When ths air of mysticism with which so many doctors surround their practice . and the medicines they prescribe la discarded and the laity is siren to un derstsnd clearly the properties and . functions of medicine, then and not on. til then the people become convinced of the efflrary of medicine and escape many of the frauds now practiced upon them by unscrupulous fakirs. As one means of educating the laity. I atvsys have advocated the etablln tnent by our National organisation of a health Journal for distribution to' the puhitc. duch a journai should have aa iiiK-ltle editor, sanitarians, sanitary engineers, sewace and water eniclneers. so'-toiocisti. tenement workers, school teacher and others bavin allied pur poses. Such a publication would t edu cational la that It would appeal to the general public, to the commercial Inter ests, to the employers of labor, to tha school boards and. particularly, to tha mothers and home Interests. tight on Plan Etpecirtl. "Our organization Is nt combatting any of the many Isms that are prac ticed by so-called medical practitioners, other than through education. Nobody selects a compromising position with knowledge, except through ignorance. It Is for that reason the tatty must be educated. The doctor has been educated until he Is now fairly efficient. Th pub'.lo should be raised to tha same plane of general Information concern ing medicine and Its uses. When the public has been so educated. It may bo expected that the mortality rate will be lowered materially from too fact that the afflicted, having that knowledge will not put off summoning physician until his ailment has reached a stage that tha physician la powerless to afford either relief-or. perhaps, save a life. In our efforts to enlighten the public, however, we. of course, wlil be opposed by the American League of Freedom. Thts is an organisation which seeks to prevent the placing of any restrictions on the practice of medicine by anybody and everybody. This organization, how ever, does not and cannot bring about l.gal freedofn. Its real purpose Is the protection and license of a class that Is today advertising and parasltlng the public heslth. With the laity properly educated, all such frauds will expire from lack of gullible subjects. Health Department Wanted. , -Our organization will make an es pecially earnest effort to obtain the establishment of a National health or ganization as provided In Senator Owen's bill. The National Government has maintained for years a Department c-f Agriculture at enormous cost through which the animal and plant life of the country Is treated and pro tected. But at the same time In a National way. no provision is made for safeguarding the health of the hu man family. -We feel that the remarkable ac complishments of the medical profes sion warrant the department and a Cabinet member as proposed In the Owen bill. Recent scientific Investi gations and resultant discoveries by the medical profession have reduced the percentage of mortality In cases of diphtheria from per cent to of t per cent. As a result of other Investigations, tetanus (lockjaw) hss been eliminated. Rabies today Is abso lutely controllable If the victim sub mits to treatment Immediately after na, has been bitten. Typhoid t'of Fnnnil. "Probably the greatest demonstra tion by medical men la the last 'year was In the efficiency of vaccination In the prevention of typhoid fever as It was demonstrated In the encamp ment of American troops at Han An tonio In the recent Mexican uprising. At different times there were encamped at San Antonio I .. soldiers. The rllmate was warm, the season and conditions unfavorable, but even with these adverse circumstances, only one rase of typhoid fever resulted. It was that of a teamster who refused to rec-tve the prophylactic vaccination. "Knowledge obtained by the medical profession for treating with the mos quito, that death-dealing transmitter of malarta and yellow-fever germs, has reduced to an average the mortality rate In tha Panama Canal tone. It hss been learned from the. Investlara ttor.s that the mosquito does not travel more than 'o yards over the bare earth from the place of his birth. Therefore, by clearing a spare 300 yards wide In each direction from the swamp In which these insects breed and then draining the swamp the pesta ran be entirety exterminated. -This discovery has a commercial value as well as lt llfesavlng worth. It means that approximately 7. 000.000 acrea of submerged n-.osqulto-lnfected lands lying between the Mississippi. Ohio and Arkansas Rivers and their tributaries, which serve only to breed mosquitoes now. can eventually be re claimed and converted Into agricultural lands.

JOHNSON DOUBTS WRONG HnHntd Fm first Par. Assistant Attorney-General Jones pro nounced the crime embezzlement and advised Oovernor Johnson to sign tha extradition papers. Johnson refused, and this brought forth Cameron' re mark that the proceeding was unusual. Johnson submitted the case to Attorney-General Webb, after more delay, and today he handed Cameron a ruling by Webb. In which the Attorney-Oen-eral decided the crime of "embezzle ment" bad not been committed. And after giving Cameron thlg opinion, he advised Cameron to "confer with Webb." Cameron was satisfied that Governor Johnson would never slem the paper for the extradition of Wilde when he left the Governor's office at noon. He started out to look up Attorney-General Webb but the Governor" hostility bad convinced him It would be a use less mission. Harrow Pleads for W llde. Clarence D arrow, of Chicago, pre sented Wild' side of the case thlg morning. Governor Johnson took pains to explain that Darrow happened to be present quite by accident. He said the man who will defend the McNamaraa In Los Angeles had paid hlra a friendly visit earlier In the morning and that he had Invited him to tay for the hearing. Darrow represented Wilde when he first got Into trouble In Portland and also appeared for 8. Cooper Morrla, the bank cashier, with whom Wilde was Implicated and who Is serving a en-tem-e In the Oregon penitentiary. Darrow explained In an off-hand way that from the facts In the case a charge of embexxlement would not He against Wilde. Johnson concurred In this view. Cameron pleaded that he had not pre sented all the facts to the Governor and wss not In a position to do so at the hearing. He said he was willing enough to let the Governor know them, but refused to Inform the defendant or his counsel. Cameron Sore of Facta. Just before the conclusion of the hearing.' Cameron said: "I have gone Into this matter thor oughlymore so than I would ordi narily have done, because I knew Wilde would fight extradition to the last ditch. And I am absolutely con vinced that Wilde has committed- a crime under the statutes of Oregon and for that reason I ask for his ex tradition." This brought forth the declaration from Governor Johnson that Cameron displayed a "profound Ignorance of the law." Wilde came to California and worked for the election of Oovernor Johnson during the last campaign and waa re warded by being named as one of tb commission to spend the 1260.000 state appropriation for the Man Diego fair. He waa further rewarded this week when the Governor refused to sign the extrsdltlon papers which would com pel him to return to Portland and stand trial. Since the request for extradition was made. Wilde has been keeping In hiding. He la believed to be near the Mexican border, where he can easily get out of the country should the papers be Issued. CCILT OF MORRIS. INVOLVED Hepatic In Canirron'i Office Pre paring to Convince Webb. Announcement that Governor John son, of California, bad referred to the Attorney-General, the extradition of Wilde, wanted here as an accessory In the looting of the Oregon Trust aV Sav ings Hank, set the deputies In the of fice of the District Attorney to delv ing yesterday afternoon for new pre cedents, to add o the weight of au thorities carried by Cameron to Sacra mento. Telegraphic request was re ceived yesterdsy by Deputy Psge from his superior at Sacramento for all the material he could gather. In further ance of the fight to extradite Wilde. The question upon which the battle hinges Is such that It will be necessary to prove W. Cooper Morris, cashier of the bank which failed, guilty of em bezzlement. t make out a case against Wllile. Wild;, holding no position of trust, could not as a principal be guilty of the crime of embezzlement, but must be shown to have been an accessory to Morris, who stands Indicted Jointly with him for the offense. If the au thorities hold that Morris Is prima facie guilty, then It follows that Wilde, sharing the transaction. Is also liable to punishment. It has been held by the District At torney since the Inception of the action that Morris. In accepting dubious tele phone bonds at their par value, and di viding the commission with Wilde, was guilty of a breach of trust to hla company. Upon the face of the trans action. It was simply an ordinary deal. In which certain goods were sold by one to another, with the obligation upon the buyer to take care, .but the prosecutor assert that this view, which Is the one apparently taken by Governor Johnson, is supported only by outward appearance, and that a de liberate conspiracy existed to loot the bsnk under the cover of a legitimate NO AMENDMENTS ADDED Act Effective Wlien Ratified by Canadian Parliament,' With Ex ception of Paper Pnlp Claude, Which I Law at Once.

Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, who led the reciprocity fight In the Senate, dined with the President on board hi train tonight. In reply to congratulation, the Sena tor, aa he made hla way through the union station to the President' car. ex claimed:. "It was easy." Senator Penrose ventured the predic tion that Congress would adjourn not later than August t or 10. A bitter struggle 1 expected In the Senate next week over the wool tariff. A full revision bill already has passed the Democratic House. Several substi tute have been offered in the Senate and a vote will be taken Thursday next. No sooner had th reciprocity bill passed than Senators began to prepare for the attack on the tariff. The wool bill waa made the unfinished business and will be taken up Monday morning. There were many exchange of views on this bill today, especially among the Democrats, and a suggestion for a cau cus was made. ' Nothing Is settled, but the Indication are thai there will be a Democratic conference before the vote on the bill Thursday. Th Indications also are that the substitute will be voted down with out effort to amend It. and that subse quently the La Follette wool bill already Introduced In the Senate may be adopted as an amendment to th House free list bill, to be finally dealt with before the free list vote Is taken August 1. In the event that led up to the fins! passage of the reciprocity measure, when amendment after amendment waa over whelmingly defeated, party line were rigorously drawn. With on or two ex ceptions, only the Republican Insurgent voted for the amendment with rein forcement from Senator Bailey, of Texas, Clark of Arkansas, and Simmon of North Carolina. Insurgents' Efforts Fall. From the outset, when Senator Mc Cumber amendment,' reducing duties on certain necessaries of life, was defeated, the Insurgents could muster only about 1 votes, with M In opposition. There were one or two marked exceptions to this vote. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, secured for hi amendment, restoring part of the duty on the agricultural products, the strongest support of the vote In behalf of any amendment. 23 Senators voting for it. Every threatened change In the bill was defeated by the consistent union of Democratic and "regular" Republican forces.

The Democrats, with few exceptions, voted against amend ments by Senator Bailey, one to put tne farmers" free list In an amendment to the reciprocity bill, and the otner to Incorporate a reduction In the tana on cotton bagging and cotton ties. Thirteen RoIIcalls Demanded. . Thirteen rollcalls were demanded by those who wanted to amend the meas ure before the bill was permitted to go to Its final passage. The other amend ments were defeated without the for mality of rollcalls. John Norrls, chairman or tne com mittee on paper of the American News paper Publishers' Association, in a state ment tonight, said: 'The naDer section of the bill Becomes effective Immediately on approval 01 tne President, and paper made from timber cut on privately-owned lands will coma In dutv free without awaiting any tana dlan action. In that respect, it differs from the a-eneral reciprocity section. which will not go Into effect until the President shall proclaim that Canada has reduced Its duties In accordance with the agreement between tne unitea States and Canada. Publishers Are Pleased. Setting forth what Mr. Norrls believes will be the effect of the paper section of the bill, the statement says: "An Important factor In the situation Is the removal of uncertainty respect ing tha tariff on oulD and paper which has. for at least four years, deterred in v.atment In paper enterprises. Hither to, tha exlstlna- American mills have been comparatively free from fear of competition because the timber area tributary to avauaoie water power in the United States had been acquired for speculative holdings. "Tho cheapening of timber value In tha United States is also a factor in the situation. The opening of large pulp wood area In the Canadian prov inces should bresk the artificially In flated price of pulp wood stumpage In tha United States. The dally output of new print paper averages 40C ton. Within two years new installations should add approxi mately 1600 tons per day to the supply. Such an addition ought to restore com petitive conditions." NEWS WELCOMED IX ST. PACTj Business Men Confldctjt Treaty Will Stimulate Trade. ST. PAUL July 22. The new that the Canadian reciprocity act passed the Senate and that the bill 1 up to th President for hi signature created a feeling of satisfaction In financial, commercial and railroad circle here today. C I Ktnckholm, president of the Association of Commerce, voiced the general Idea of the business men In saying that while the treaty provides lower duties on some articles and thu would aid trade In a few lines, the greatest good from the treaty will be the tendency toward free trade between the two countries. The passing of the bill Is regarded as having an Important bearing on the railroad activities in the Northwest, for It 1 said several large projects have been held In abeyance until the fate of the bill was known. The many branches from the main line of the Great Northern In North Dakota reach ing up toward Canada have been lik ened to a fine-toothed comb. The branches.
