HUTCHINSON IS ACCUSED Is Charged With Advertising Self in Press. iCONSUMPTIVE CURE BASIS Physicians Wrangle Among Them selves Until Quarrel Is Stopped by an Adjournment of , the Meeting. Trouble, harsh words and a llvelr row have developed among: the medical pro fession. The quarrol.' which some say was scheduled and some say was not. came at the meeting ot the Portland Medical Society, held "Wednesday night at the .Marquam "building. At this meeting. Ir. Woods Hutchinson, secretary of the State Board of Health, and Dr. Robert C. Coffey, director of the North Pacific Sanatorium, were openly accused of lack ing professional ethics and were verbally assaulted by physicians who fancied their professlon had been outraged. It was Dr. Otto S. Binswanger who ex ploded the bomb at the meeting. Dr. Binswanger openly questioned Dr. Hutch inson's ethical position. Dr. William Jones and several other members ot the profession hacked him up. In the storm of personalities that began flying around. Dr. Coffey was dragged Into the row and lor a time it looked as If the lie would be given direct. Arranged Beforehand. In some quarters it is whispered that the meeting was arranged for the grilling of several medical men who. it was thought, had drifted from the narrow path of pro lesBional ethics. If this was so, neither Dr. Hutchinson nor Dr. Coffey were aware of what -was coming. Dr. R. C. Tcnncy read a paper on the absorption of food, and at the close of the discussion which followed the trouble broke out. Dr. Bins wanger, so the story goes, rose up In right eous indignation and called attention to a recent article which appeared in the Portland papers, in which Dr. Woods Hutchinson was given credit of having cured two cases of consumption. Dr. Binswanger had great difficulty In try ing to convey to Dr. Hutchinson just what was the nature of the charges ho was making. Then rose up Dr. William Jones, and, it Is said, point blank accused Dr. Hutchinson ot using his official title as secretary of the State Board of Health to advertise himself in short, that he was an "advertiser" and unethical. It is understood that Dr. Binswanger took Dr. Hutchinson to task, because the articles giving the account of the consumptive cases, which were recently discharged from the Open Air Sanita rium eta. ted that the patients -were cured. Dr. Hutchinson, it Is understood, endeavored to explain that he had not told the reporters that the patients had been cured, but that the course of the 'disease had been arrested. Dr. Bins wanger held that Dr. Hutchinson had stated that the patients had been cured of consumption, and Is credited with having said that if Dr. Hutchinson made the statement, he. Dr. Blns Vanger, doubted Dr. Hutchinson's ve racity. When Dr. Jones entered Into the discussion trouble broke loose. Dr. Hutchinson, it Is said, listened to the charges which Dr. Jones made and. In "a quiet and self-controlled way, looked straight at Dr. Jones and said some thing like this: "Yes, I understand what your are driving at now. and I consider the source from which such accusations come." Half a Dozen Engage. Dr. Andrew C. Smith, Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie and a half dozen other mem bers of ttito profession jumped Into the arena. Dr. Coffey's attempt to defend Dr. Hutchinson brought down showers of wrath on his shoulders. For a time the meeting resembled an old-fashioned sowing society. Everybody was talking and howling at once. It is said that there was some mild profanity thrown into the arguments and accusations, and that several women members of the pro fession present fled, as did several of the more timid males. Dr. Coffey was accused of having runners out In East ern Oregon and of the unpardonable sin of having a private institution. Dr. Coffey, It seems, had the goods on sev eral of the doctors, whose tender eth ics had been so roughly trampled upon. He kept up a scrap book and he claimed that he oould show by that book that almost every member of the profession had "broken Into print just as often as a chance was given him. It was the coolhcadedncss of the doctor who sat in the cnalr that saved the meeting from breaking up in a free-for-all light. Several times he ruled the wrathful doctors out of order. Things were beginning to get beyond his control when some wise member moved an ad journment. Just when this happened Dr. Smith was delivering a caustic- address against the "advertisers." The motion for adjournment cut off his speech. Yesterday the quarrel at the Medical Society was the topic discussed among the physicians. The medical men them selves refused to discuss the trouble. It Is not known whether there will be an attempt made on the part of those who precipitated the quarrel to oust Dr. Hutchinson and Dr. Coffey from the society. The fight Is on, however, and from what could bo learned of the trouble, sides have been taken, and if a move of this sort Is attempted, the row of Wednesday night Is only a fore runner. It is understood that Dr. Hutch inson gave what he considered an ex planation of his actions and ne main tained he was not guilty of any wrong doing. He Is said to have stated before the members ot the society that the Open Air Sanitarium was a public in stitution and that the public was en titled to he informed as to what was being cone at the Institution. Dr. Hutch inson refused to discuss the charges made against him and says he is ready to meet his accusers. Shows Receipted Bills. Dr. A. W, Ball, who was accused of leaving Roseburg. Or., with unpaid bills. Is In Portland and shows receipts to prove that be has paid his Indebtedness In the Southern Oregon city. As to the name Dr. Bowie & Co.. it is explained by Dr. Ball that It is a trade name, and that he was known among the Jamaican negroes as Dr. Bowie. Dr. Ball Is a regularly licensed physician in this state. It seems that he left Roseburg February ZS, going to Grant's Fase, and returned to Rose burs: T4txraersr 2S, peylnjr his bills, lie says, as was his custom, on the first of the month. As to the statement of W. J. Ross, Dr. Bowie declares that Instead of owing him money, he had advanced sums to Ross. Dr. Ball was a Red Cross surgeon in Cuba during the Spanish war. he declares, and subsequently went to Alaska for the Government, where he was Superintendent of the Government schools on Kadlak Island and physician to the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society orphanage on Wood Island. LAWYER SCOPES Off SHERIFF Not Permitted to See Prisoner Has Court Intervene. William M. Gregory, attorney-at-law, scored one on Sheriff Word and Jailer Grafton yesterday after a hot controversy which served to raise the angry passions of all concerned. Judge George finally settled the matter. It was alleged by Lawyer Gregory that Sheriff Word had refused him permis sion to visit Robert A. Condee. a prisoner in the County Jail and a client of Greg ory's. Gregory carried his troubles to Judge George, before whom the attorney Insisted he had a right to see his client, and Sheriff Word stated that he was Sheriff of Multnomah County and there fore boss of the county's jail. After a stormy scene. Judge George notified the Sheriff that any reputable attorney was privileged to visit a client in the jail, and that even the Sheriff could not stop him. He also stated that the request ot Mr. Gregory should have been granted Imme diately by Sheriff Word. After Mr. Gregory had disposed of the Sheriff he again went to the jail, .where he met Jailer Grafton. Grafton stated that he was boss during he Sher iff's absence and that he was running things to suit himself. Gregory replied that that was the way Grafton , generally ran things, and the jailer, it Is alleged, shook his fist In the attorney's face and threatened dire and sinister things. Whereupon Jailer Grafton was promptly haled before Judge George likewise, and likewise received a few pointers concern ing the rights of an attorney with a client In Jail. Grafton said there was a misun derstanding. Condee la a printer who was going under the name of C O. Roberts when he was arrested a short titme ago on telegraphic advices from the Sheriff at Los Angeles. He is wanted for obtaining money under false pretenses. Condee's father-in-law learned of the arrest and wired Mr. Greg ory to attend to the case. When Greg ory went to the jail ho was refused per mission to see the prisoner, and immedi ately went UDStalrs. wtierA hn fltorf a tn-i of habeas corpus, and Condeo was brought ixa-ure juage ueorge at 2 odock. Greg ory then attempted to speak to the pris oner and the Sheriff ordered him nnf m do so. Then the trouble began, and it was not seiuea until judge George Informed Sheriff Word and Jailor Grafton that lawyers were to be allowed to see clients. DR. EDGAR TTTT.T. MAY ACCEPT Congregation Thinks He Will Proba bly Go to Philadelphia. Members of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland are absorbed in the question as to whether their rastor. Rev. Edgar P. Hill, D. D.. is to accept the call made to him to take charge of the Presbyterian board of publication and Sabbath school work with head quarters at Philadelphia, Pa. Although Dr. Hill has not personally made his wishes known, it is believed here that he will resign his pastorate and ac cept the new appointment. He Is ex pected home In about ten days, or sooner. His friends say that the new appointment means a life position to him, that he will be able to do more effective work directing the publica tion board of the whole Presbyterian Church than working along at 55000 a year as pastor of a Presbyterian church on the Pacific Coast, far re moved from the center of population, and that in a very short time he would make a National name for himself in the Presbyterian church at large. These are the reasons, it is stated, why Dr. Hill will probably decide to accept the call to Philadelphia. Dr. Hill left this city February 13, personally to look over the grouna at Philadelphia and to engage and report on speakers for the series of congresses and con ferences to be held Sunday afternoons at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. BIG COLONIST RUSH EXPECTED First Contingent From East Will Ar rive In Portland Tomorrow. Many homes eekers, who have taken ad vantage of the colonist rates on all the transcontinental railroads leading into this city, which went into effect on March 1, will arrive in Portland tomor row. From Missouri River points to Portland by the colonist rates the tare is $25. From Chicago the fare is $33, ow ing to the reduction. These rates are for one way only, there being no reduc tion on the round-trip tickets. It ap plies only to second-class travel. The Denver & Rio Grande has Instituted a dally through tourist car Ben-ice from Denver to Portland because of the extra travel that will result from the low rates. On all the roads affected by the colonist rates extra equipment has been added. The railroad men say that more home seekers will take advantage ot these low rates than ever before because of the ex tensive advertising that has been scattered through the East on the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Besides the colonists who will arrive, there will he hundreds of people who will coma to Portland to re main during the Summer on account of the Fair. PIONEER WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. J. S.
