HORSEMEN ASK FOR SPACE
AND
ADDRESSES BY PHYSICIANS
Owing to the Unsatisfactory Acous
tic Properties of tho Armory
Several Changes in Section
Meetings Are Made.
REGISTRATION IS HEAVY.
When the registration office cloned at
the. Armory yesterday evening It was
stated that the total registration was
considerably In excels of 1400. and that
the estimate of 1500 as the total num
ber of delegates would undoubtedly be
reached today. Registration of old
members who have paid their dues Is
by receipt: of those who have not. by
cash, and of new member by filing
proper credentials and paying the mem
bership fee. Eighteen persona are em
ployed In the registration office and
kept very busy with their duties. Each
delegate upon registering receives invi
tations to all functions, tickets for the
river trip and for entertainments, to
gether with the various programmes.
While the Armory remains general'
headquarters for the flf ty-slxth annual
session of the American Medical Associa
tion, there will be no future addresses or
orations delivered In the vast auditorium.
President Louis S. McMurtry found the
acoustic properties of the building unsat
isfactory In delivering his Inaugural ad
dress, yesterday forenoon, and was dis
turbed by the rumble of conversation and
other noises emanating from the exhibit
section of the room. He accordingly did
not complete the address, which he stated
would be published in the Association
Journal. Pursuant to this decision,
changes were made In the previous ar
rangement for meetings of several sec
tions. The section of practice of medicine
was transferred to the Atkinson School;
of surgery and anatomy to the auditorium
of the First Presbyterian Church, and
that on obstetrics and diseases of women
to the parlors of the same church. As
announced yesterday morning by The Ore
gonian, the house of delegates changed Its
place of meeting from the Chamber of
Commerce to the Atkinson School.
Heavy Attendance of Delegates.
When more than 2000 delegates and vis
itors occupied seats In the Armory yes
terday forenoon for the opening general
session of the American Medical Associa
tion, It was to behold a bower of color,
the red, white and blue mingling with the
colors of the Exposition. The stage was
bordered with the colors of the American
flag, while arranged around the balcony
railing were banners bearing names of
states and territories represented by mem
bers of their respective medical societies.
Suspended across the great dome were
lines of pendant diagonals of colors that
break the view of rafters and rods, and
under lighting effects of evening would
present a picture that might be liken sd
to a glimpse of fairyland. Red bunting
curtains have been used to form a parti
tion between the auditorium and exhibit
sections, in the west end of the building.
President John H, Musser. retiring pres
ident of the association, called the gather
ing to order, the vast audience coming to
attention promptly to listen to welcoming
words from representatives of the com
monwealth, the municipality and distin
guished mcmbeis of the profession, after
a brief prayer by Rev. A. A. Morrison
pastor of Trinity Church.
Judge M. C. George welcomed the men
of science In an address that sparkled
with wit and humor, explaining the ab
sence of Geovernor Chamberlain that ren
dered it impossible for the Executive to
appear In person. He told the delegates
that the Pacific Coast was a pretty good
place for the doctors to break into politics,
pointing as an example to the election of
a Iemocratic physician as Mayor of Re
publican Portland. "California, our near
est neighbor on the south, has elected a
doctor Governor," he said, "and I can
assure any of you. who may contemplate
moving to Oregon that I know several
doctors who are anxious to become Gov
erno: of Oregon."
Addresses by Physicians.
Mayor Lane spoke very briefly, but if
anything was lacking to make the medical
men understand that the hospitality of
the city had been extended them, it was
supplied by the genial manner in which
the executive welcomed members of his
own profession.
Dr. George F. Wilson spoke on behalf
of the State Medical Society, of which he
is the president, and Dr. Henry Waldo
Coe. president of the County and City
Medical Society, followed on behalf of
that organization of medical men.
Dr. K. A, J. Mackenzie submitted a re
port of the committee of arrangements
that was received with evidences of ap
preciation of the manner in M'hlch the
Portland members of the profession have
provided for the convenience, comfort and
entertainment of the National body.
President John H. Musser then Intro
duced to the assemblage, while enthusi
astic applause reverberated throughout
the vast building, the president-elect. Dr.
Lewis S. McMurtry, of Louisville, who
proceeded to deliver his address. Before
concluding, he had found the acoustics of
the hall so trying on the voice that he
ceased speaking for a moment, and then
announced that, as the address would be
published in full in the Journal of the as
sociation, he would not attempt to finish.
Adjournment was then taken to the
evening session, 7:30 o'clock, which was
changed from the Armorj' to the First
Presbyterian Church, where orations con
stituted the programme. This evening
the general meeting will occur at the
same place, at which Dr. George Blumer,
of San Francisco, will deliver an oration
on "State Medicine," and Dr, Henry O.
Marcy, of Boston, will deliver a memorial
address on Dr. Nathan, Smith Davis.

served to all comers yesterday and
flowers presented to all who care for

by the Eastern delegates in regard to
the size of Portland, its climate and
resources was most noticeable among'
the callers, the majority of them seem
ing to have had the impression previous
to coming here that it was a small
town and primitive.

The House of Delegates' meeting yes
terday afternoon in the Atkinson school
put a good deal of routine business behind
It and listened to novel reports of com
mittees. Chief among the reports were'
those on education and incorporation. Dr.
Arthur D. Bevan, chairman of the Coun
cil on Medical Education, recommended
a six-year coursj for all medical students
and disapproved of the growing tendency
among medical schools to require a col
lege education for admission. An ordi
nary high school or academic education
was sufficient. In the opinion of Dr.
Bevan- He would prefer to have it oth
erwise, but he thinks a young man should
begin the study of medicine as early as
18 In order to get out into the world soon.
Dr. Joseph D. Bryan, of New York,
chairman of the committee on Incorpora
tion, gave a detailed account of the dif
ficulties encountered by the committee In
attempting to obtain a national charter
for the association and of the lack of
success so far. The house showed great
Interest in tnis matter and advised that a
national charter should be obtained If
possible rather than one for the District
of Columbia, privileging the organization
to do business elsewhere.
Dr. Eugene Smith, of Michigan, ob
jected to the association'? taking up the
publication of a director as too much
of a business.
Dr. J. X. McCormack. chairman of the
committee on organization, reported that
Impressions of
The section on surgery and anatomy of
the American Medical Association con
vened in the First Presbyterian Church,
corner Twelfth and Alder. Dr. Maurice
H. Richardson, of Boston, the chairman
of this section, addressed the meeting on
the need of better training. He advised
young surgeons to associate themselves
in the capacity of assistants with experi
enced operators. Dr. Richardson cited
many errors that had been made by him
self and others, and while deploring the
fact that they sometimes occurred, he be
lieved they would not occur as often In
the hands of an experienced operator.
Dr. Henry O. Marcy, of Boston, read
the first paper In this section on the cure
of Inguinal hernia. After a brief nlstory
of the operation, he said It was three
decades since he had first announced a
new method of restoring the obliquity of
! the Inguinal canal, and the Introduction
of animal sutures. Great stress was laid
by the speaker on the method of closing
the abdominal wall by three layers of
continuous absorbable animal sutures,
preferably kangaroo tall tendon: the su
perficial layer being through the deep
layers of the skin, care being taken to
avoid the hair follicles and sweat glands.
The external wound, he said, should bo
closed by collodion reinforced. If neces
sary, by shreds of absorbent cotton. Dr.
Marcy strongly condemned the usual
mcth'd of swathing the body like a
mummy in bandages, and maintained If
the technique was correct, the collodion
was sufficient to preserve the patient
,from bacterial Infection. He advised op
eration In children, stating repair and re
covers were rapid In the young.
Dr. Charles A. Powers, of Denver, read
a .paper on fibroid growths of the abdom
inal wall. He discussed the relative In
frequency of these desmoid tumors, their
size and relative recurrence as they ap
proached the malignant tumors of .sar
comatous type, Complete removal of the
S AV
'j
all the states except Virginia and Maine
were wllllng'to conform with certain reg
ulations so that the state associations
could be uniform.
Dr. E. E. Harris, of New York, chair
man of the miscellaneous committee. In
troduced a resolution that the board of
trustees should have full charge In the
future of annual meetings and should pay
all expenses to relieve the burden of the
particular community visited. Thla res
olution was favorably received and so
went to the proper committee- for con
sideration. Dr. C J. Smith, of Oregon. Introduced
a resolution In behalf of the physicians of
Alaska to receive the support of the Medi
cal Society, urging special legislation for
the territory regarding quack doctors.
A considerable amount of business still
remains before the house, but a general
session will not be held until this after
noon at 2 o'clock.
Its Fourth Annual Gathering.
Today will be convened In one of the
rooms of the Atkinson school building the
fourth annual meeting of the American
Urologlcal Association, ono of the discon
nected medical bodies that meets simul
taneously with the American Medical As
sociation. The session will begin at 9
o'clock with an executive session, at
which application will be made for forma
tion of a Pacific Coast branch of the so
ciety, and officers will be chosen for the
ensuing year.
This will be followed by a scientific pro
gramme, seven numbers of which will be
concluded at the morning session and
nine more at the afternoon session, which
will meet at 2 o'clock, all dealing with
urologlcal subjects. All physicians are
cordially Invited to be present at these
sessions and listen to the papers pre
sented. There will be two sessions held tomor
row, concluding the annual gathering. Dr.
George S. Whiteside and Dr. D. H.'Rand.
of Portland, are among those who 'will
be heard at today's meetings. 'Officers
of the association are: W. M. Wlshard.
M. D.. president: William K. Otis. M. D..
vice-president: William T. Bcllfleld. M.

R. L. Sampson, city distributor of the
Portland Postofflce. has been assigned by
Postmaster Mlnto to take charge of the
temporary office at the Armory to which
mall for members of the American Med
ical Association is sent for distribution.
When the office opened yesterday morn
ing, the 76-box pigeonhole letter-case was
filled with letters, papers and other mall,
besides a great stack of bundles awaited
claimants. During the entire forenoon
there was a constant stream of inquirers
for mall, and during the afternoon the
stream continued, though not so dense.
Both as a convenience to the visitors
and as a means of relieving pressure at
the general office, the Idea has proved an
excellent one. The location Is at the ex
treme west end of the Armory, opposite
the Atkinson School, where the sections
convene, and across a narrow aisle from
the registration office.
the American Medical Convention
growth was advocated by the majority of
surgeons taking part In the discussion.
The cancer scrum of Colay came In for
considerable notice, and two cases that
were considered beyond the skill of the
surgeon were reported so greatly im
proved as to be considered cured.
Splanchnoptosis from a surgical stand
point was the paper of James E. Moore,
of Minneapolis. He used the word In Its
broad sense as applying to prolapse of all
the abdominal viscera, and did not ap
prove of using the terminal word ptosis
and the custom of joining it to other
names of organs, as enteroptosls. gas
troptosls and splenoptosis. He consid
ered the pathological entity of prolapse
of the abdominal contents, a pear-shaped
abdomen with flaccid walls, accompanied
by a long chain of nervous symptoms al
lied to neura&hemla. These cases, he
said, could .not expect much relief from
the neurologist, and would seek aid from
the surgeon. The palliative treatment of
abdominal support did not meet every
indication, and the various operative pro
cedures were open to more or less ob
jection. As It had only been a matter of
a few years since surgeons had endeav
ored to remedy the displacement, it was
to be hoped a technique would be evolved
that would give perfect satisfaction. He
believed the best method at present was
that of Morris, of shortening the peri
toneum, stitching the liver and bringing
the two rectal muscles into close apposi
tion. A general discussion enlivened the
session. Dr. R. C. Coffey defending a
method of operation he had devised In
1302 for the relief of this condition.
As the bugs of disease are supposed to
gleefully seize on some fresh field for
bacterial Invasion, so the symposium on
"Surgery of the Stomach," the newest
field to record the triumphs and superior
ity of American surgery, brought forth
instructive addresses by some of the mas
ter surgeons of the continent. Dr. H. D.

glble persons' wishing to marry would
have to register, tell who their parents
were, what was their occupation and
what they died of In tfhort. to give
a full ancestral account of themselves.
By this means Dr. Stockton says the
unfit can be eliminated and only the
physical and mentally healthy be per
mitted to enter the holy bond of mat
rimony. Moreover, those who are unflt
to marry. Dr. Stockton would render
sterile. By vuch means he would build
u the race.
Dr. Stockton led up to advocating this
marriage bureau by a discussion of
how the Uvea of people could be made
longer, by preventing decay wherever
It began to appear. He almost eald
that life could be prolonged Indefinitely
if due precaution were taken. But as
a basis.- a roan must begin life with a
perfect body and an undiseased mind.
Dr. John Collins Warren, of Boston,
spoke on the relation of surgery to
pathology. He dealt with a subject
which Is at the bresent time a matter
t of great Interest In the medical pro-
j fesslon. and hi address, coming from
one of the greatest surgeons of the

Under direction of Dr. Frank B. Wynn,
of Indianapolis, there has been Installed
In the basement of the Atkinson School
a scientific exhibit that Is of great in

It Is the scientific exhibit of the Ameri
can Medical Association, assembled In the
Interest of advancement and Introduces
this year for the first time a historical
feature that makes It of unusual attrac
tiveness. Owing to the great distance
from the East, where large exhibits of
specimens may be chosen from there Is
only a small display of that character.

Ulcer of the stomach and first portion
of duodenum, with especial reference to
operation, by Dr. W J. Mayo, of Roches
ter. Minn., was one of the most Interest
ing of the session. He cited numerous
tables to prove the relative frequency of
ulcar. He carefully differentiated be
tween ulcers Involving the mucus mem
brane only and those involving the entire
wall of the stomach. He showed his
method of producing union with tho
duodenum in such a manner as to leave
the ulcer free from contact with the acid
contents of the stomach. He advised con
servative methods with operation only in
selected cases.
Dr. A. D. Bevan. of Chicago, a former
resident of Portland, read a very Interest
ing paper on a new disease caused by the
after effects of chloroform. The patho
logical features were an acute fatty de
generation of the liver with acetonurla.
The clinical symptoms resembled those
produced by phosphorous poisoning. His
attention was drawn to this condition
through the loss of a child four days after

siding- Judge Frank Skinner for the plct
oi me staoie ioc-auons at Irvington.
When Judge Skinner made his recent
visit to Portland ho
Meadows with him blue-print pla'ts of the
siaoiea at irvington. The moment that
trainers and owners knew that he had
such a plat there was a scramble for loca
tions. Ail or tne owners and trainers who
raced here last year made a center rush
for Judge Skinner, and wanted again to
stable their racers where they were a
year ago. It was a case of first-come,
first-served, however, but those who knew
now tne stalls were located at the track
had an edge on those who are to bring
their horses to Portland for th first timA
because they knew the lay of the grounds!
.ine wise ones will gain little in this. for.
as a matter of fact, there is not a stall
Inside the big enclosure that is one whit
better than the rest.
For a couple of weeks back the track
man has been busy with the stalls. They
have been repaired, thoroughly cleaned
and given a double coating of whitewash.
The new stalls ,that were erected in the
new plot of ground back of the grand
stand that last year became a part of the
racing plant, are now completed and wera
also whitewashed, so that all of the stalfe
are ready for the gallopers. This, how
ever, is not what has been vexing- the otfl--clals.
What has been bothering them is
where are they to stable all. the horses
that are coming. President A. R. Dia
mond Is In receipt of several other tele
grams from horsemen, who have been
racing their strings at the Denver meet
ings. They have wired for stable room.
Fred Mulholland, who will be starting
Judge at Irvington, has been presiding
Judge of the Denver meeting. While there
he has been looking after Portland's In
terests, and It Is through him that the
pick of the stables that have raced there
are coming to Portland to race.
Plans for the coming light harness meet
ing are still going on. President Diamond
's making every effort possible to arrange,
the dates between Seattle. Walla Walla
and Portland, and unless some unforeseen
thing should happen, trotters and pacers
will hold the card at Irvington track In
September.
