Reception and musical entertain ment, given by Portland pity and county, assisted by the state and dis trict societies, at the "Oaks." Special cars leave First and Alder streets at $13 F. M. Instrumental and vocal music, luncheon and fireworks. Special pro gramme. Ethical observance extends to the many fine points of parliamentary usage among medical men assembled In annual confer ence. Election of officers occurs, under the amendments to the bylaws Introduced at the session of 1904, after reading the minutes of the previous session on the morning of the last day of the session. Nominations for president are by ballot of the members of the house of delegates, and for all other officers, except treasurer, by a committee of seven, representing the various geographical divisions of the' coun try. The treasurer Is nominated by the board of trustees. All nominations must be made orally, and no nominating speech may exceed two minutes. Mayo for President. Dr. W. J. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., an eminent practitioner, who has won dis tinction. Especially In surgical work, will probably be chosen the successor of Pres ident Louis S. McMurtry. Last year at Atlantic City there was a spirited contest between the two distinguished members, the present official head of the body being victorious by only one vote. This year these seems little doubt that Dr. Mayo, representing what the East regards as the Far Northwest and the Pacific Coast terms the Middle West, will be elected to take his seat at the opening of the session one year hence. Next to the presidency, the second ques tion of prominence uppermost in minds of the doctors is where the next session shall be held. Boston seems to have a strong following, and, it Is probable, will be the choice of the members of the house of delegates. Atlantic seaboard locations attract a large attendance of physicians engaged in local practice, and since no centrally located city Is making an urgent request for consideration. It is probable that the Hub will be honored. No Opposition to Simmons. Dr. George H. Simmons, general secre tary, has so long presided at the desk that a great many of the members will prompt ly declare that the position Is a permanent one, however, provision is made for elec tion to this, as to other official positions, and, apparently, there will be no opposi tion to Dr. Simmons. Next in relative importance are the three members of the board of trustees. E. E. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania; H. L. E. Johnson, of the District of Colum bia, and A- L. Wright, of Iowa, whose election is for a term of three years. The board Is composed of nine members, three elected at each annual session. There are four vice-presidents, the positions being honorary, and which are usually distribu ted with reference to the geographical locations of the nominees. Election in Sections. In addition to the election of general officers there will also be elections in each of the 12 sections, either at close of the forenoon or opening of the afternoon ses sion. This will, in fact, be the closing day of the convention business, and e'ery hour will be occupied with some of the best events of the week to the progres sive doctors, such as may be Justly ac cepted as a type of the membership in this strong organization of the advanced practitioners of the American continent. The programme of demonstrations that will be given today under direction of the scientific exhibit of the association, which wrs published yesterday in these columns. DENT will be Ihe most Instructive of work of this character during the session. In the evonlnp. as a concluding social event of the series that has made the time pleasant for accompanying ladles of the delegates, the City and County Medi cal Society of Portland will entertain at The Oaks with presentation of the finest musical talent of the city In a specially arranged programme, and likewise a strong band to furnish Instrumental se lections that will make the Tavern echo with symphony. RIVER RIDE, SALMON DINNER How Doctors Will Enjoy Themselves During the Day. Tomorrow delegates to the American Medical Association and accompanying ladles to the number of 2000 will view the magnificence of the great river of the Northwest, the closing entertain ment provided for the visitors by the Portland committees for the conven tion. In order to provide boats to ac commodate the visitors the" steamer T. J. Potter has been detached from its regular schedule for the trip, and the Bailey Gatzert. Charies W. Spencer and Undine chartered. This fleet will depart from the Ash-street dock at 9 A. M. These splendid steamerjare not surpassed by any boats of their re spective types In lake or river serv ice In the West and the trip will be not only Instructive and enjoyable for its scenery unsurpassed on the cdntincnt. but will demonstrate to the profes sional men from other sections of the Union one of the great industries of the' Columbia. After four hours on the river the boats will return tt Bonneville, where m snlmnn rilntiAr will le, c-n. I ,,. open air under wide spreading forest trees. Forty choice salmon nave been Irrocured from Seuferfs cannery at The Dalles, and will be baked In the kitchen of the Arlington Club tomor row morning In time to send to Bon neville by the forenoon train. Twenty long tables have been arranged and a force of waiters engaged to have ev erything In readiness when the boats make the landing. This will be one of the memorable incidents of the con vention to those who are fortunate enough to participate, exploiting the salmon Industry. The dinner will be served during the hour from 1 to 2 o'clock. WILL PUBLISH NEW DIRECTORY Physicians Vote to Print Book Con taining AH Names. Whether the American Medical As sociation should publish a -directory, and, if so, whose names It should con tain, was the chief topic of discussion before the house of delegates yester day. The matter was finally left to the board of trustees, and that organiza tion had already come out advocating a directory giving the names of all practitioners licensed by the states. Politics shoved its dragon head In the door for a few minutes while this discussion was forward, principally over the purchase of some list of names now copyrighted by which to begin work. That matter also went to the board of delegates for decision. When the directory is published it will be composed of all the licensed doctors, with the members of the Medical As sociation In black-faced type, to herd the sheep from the goats, as they them selves expressed it. Dr. George M. Kober", of Washington. D. C. chairman of the committee on medical education, carried out the sug gestions of Dr. Arthur D. Bevan, of the council of medical education, made the day before In recommending to In cipient doctors the greatest attention to their chosen profession rather than In preparing to take It up. He also recommended some sort of business course In medical schools. Secretary -Simmons read a recommen dation by which contract doctors In the United States Army should be placed on a ranking list, rather than spend their time "avoiding slights." By the same token the dental corps was also recommended for receiving a certain rank. The greater portion of yesterday af ternoon was taken up In the receiving and referring of routine reports. Conx'cntlon Notes. In the surgical section yesterday Dr. William W. Grant, of Denver, a mem ber of the board of trustees of the as sociation, read a most Interesting paper in which he presented a new operation for cancer of the Up, chin or check. The operation Is Dr. Grant's own de vice. The paper was illustrated by drawings of the faces of several pa tients before and after being operated upon. By Dr. Grant's method, contrac tion, or change of the expression of the face, always resultant In the old operation (which is known as tho V cut). is prevented, a point most worthy of consideration In facial surgery. Dr. Grant's priority in removal of the ap pendix Is a well-known fact In the profession, operating first In 1884, a matter of record as established by the investigation of Dr. Merrill Pitketts. of Cincinnati. Oculists Will Combine. Oculists of the Pacific States will hold a meeting at 1:30 P. M. today for the pur pose of forming a Pacific Coast Ophthal mologics! Society. The meeting will take place, In the Selling-Hlrsch building, where sectional meetings of that branch of the association have been In session. Large attendance of Pacific Coast doctors is desired.

MANY RECEPTIONS GIVEN Brilliant Events at Residences and at Exposition Grounds Show Doctors How Portland Greets Her Visitors. Portland Is setting a social pace for the visiting mcdlccs and their families which Is no doubt quite equal to any that these from the Eastern cities have been accustomed to, and they' are all en Joying the many events planned in their honor, especially tho ladies. Yesterday they were kept on the go from S o'clock In the morning, when the first trolley party started on a tour of the city, un til a late hour last night, when the re ception tendered Dr. Lewhi McMurtry by Dr. and Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe In the Oregon building at the Exposition grounds wound up a long and busy day. The first event after the trolley party was a reception given the visiting ladles, those accompanying the doctors but not of the profenslon themselves, by the wives of the Portland doctors. This took place at the Oregon building on the Exposi tion grounds and the attendance was1 large. Many of the guests had been doing the Exposition during the day and the chat about the beauties of Portland and the Fair was the keynote of conversation during the afternoon. A committee com posed of wives of prominent local physi cians received the guests and others acted as hostess?. Light refreshments were served and handsome floral decora tions added to the beauty of the handsome parlors in the Oregon building. Private Receptions Held. A series of private receptions given at J the homes of Portland physicians was Ia feature of last night's entertaining and one much appreciated by the vlritors. Dr. and Mrs. William Jones.

Dr. and Mrs. Mac kenzie were assisted by Mr. and Mrs. R. Lre Barnes and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kerr. Dr. and Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe were hosts of the most elaborate reception of Wednesday evening, this event being given In honor of the retiring president of the American Medical Association. Dr. Lewis McMurtry. of Louisville. Ky. The Oregon building, at the Fair grounds, was utilized for this occasion, and the immense Colonial rooms served admirably for pri vate entertaining. A rose table was the feature of the decoration, and attracted the attention of every visitor present. Mrs. Coe presented large bouquets to all who wished them, and It seemed that everyone did. Roses were also used in the wall dec orations. Intermingled with ferns and palms. Receiving with Dr. and Mrs. Coe and their guest of honor were Brigadier-General Robert M. O Reilly. Surgeon-General Walter Wyman. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Myers, Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Glesy nnd Dr. Andrew C. Smith.

BANQUET AT HOTEL P ORTIjAND Women Physicians Entertained by Portland Society. The Portland Women's Medical Society tendered the visiting women physicians who are in attendance upon the American Medical Convention an elaborate banquet at the Portland Hotel last night, when nearly 100 guests sat around a beautiful ly decorated table. The large parlors of the hotel were converted Into a bower of green by festoons of Oregon grape which hung from the celling, entirely cov ering It. and the large columns in the room were made Into realistic trees with the aid of greens. The table, which was in two sections, was rounded at each end and so arranged that guests were not hidden from each other's view. Trail ing green festoons 'Were wound about the table in graceful lines, and through them ropes of miniature green electric lights glimmered. Pink sweet peas were used on one table and lavender on the other, the color effect being carried out by Parisian bows and streamers of tulle of the same tones. The high effects were attained by clusters of white lilies in cut glass vases. Receiving the guests were Dr. Mae Cardwcll. Dr. Esther Pohl. Dr. Edna Tlmms. Dr. Mary MacLachlan. Dr. Jessie McGavIn.

Memorial Services Held Honor of the Late Dr. N. S. Davis. in ADDRESS BY DR. MARCY Auditorium of First Presbyterian Church Filled by Medical Con vention Delegates, Who Es teem Founder's Memory. Eloquent, scholarly and expressive of the love for a great and good man known In the relations of moat Intimate friend ship for three score years, was the me morial address delivered last night In the First Presbyterian Church by Dr. Henry O. Marcy on Dr. Nathan Smith Davis. The speaker, one of the most widely known of American physicians, honored and beloved by members of the American Medical Association, paid trib ute to tho life work and character of the founder of the association. He reviewed carefully the early biography of his sub ject, born In 1S17. In New York State, his youth passed on a farm and received an education In the public schools, for a short period in the seminary at Case novla. and at the age of 20 graduated from the College of Physicians and Sur geons of the Western District of New York. He began practice in Blnghamp ton. later removed to New York City and was the founder of the American Medical Association, being the founder and edi tor of various of the leading medical journals. In ISO he transferred to the Rush Medical College at Chicago, and from that time Identified himself actively, not only with teaching, but with about every sanitary, scientific and educational Interest of the city. In 1S59 he became the active head of what Is now known as Chicago Medical College. This was the closing peroration of the address: Dr. Marcy's Address. "Wearing the crown of earthly honor as a simple exponent of service. Inter ested In the present, as In early man hood, seeing the victories yet to be won In the field of science, as the vista of the future opened before him. in the full ripeness of many years, the eternity of the present blended harmoniously with the eternity of the future as he calmly awaited Its dawn. "Firm lnthe assured hope with which the Ereat Apostle of the Gentiles was persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, or any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which Is In Christ Jesus our Lord: thus was the spirit freed from the broken body, and June 16. 1901. we mourned Nathan S. Davis as numbered with the dead. "The subject of personal relationship Is almost too tender for public expression. Thirty years' acquaintanceship had ripened friendship sweeter to me by far than to him, because of the personal profit of the relationship. If anything lasts over Into the great beyond It will be such ties of congenial loving friendship, which, without a ripple, ripened and strengthened to the last. High and Noble Career. "Let the tender associations of the home life be held sacred. Let the city of his choice, which had grown under his charge from a -struggling village to tno second city of the continent, enshrine hia memory In their hearts and perpetuate his form in Imperishable bronze, looking out upon the great lake whose pure waters he gave to the public need. But above all let the American Medical As sociation hold unsullied the example of his high and noble career and perpetuate his memory during the centuries to come by Imitating his glorious example of a long life given to public service." The memorial service to Dr. Davis will be continued today In room 15. Atkinson School, where other of his professional associates will be heard. The auditorium of the First Presbyter Ian Church was occupied by about delegates and accompanying ladles last evening to listen to the addresses. The first was that by Dr. George Blumer. of San Francisco. In which the Introduction of subtropical disease an the result of the acquisition of Island possessions by this country was discussed, the yellow fever, hook worm disease, dysentry. and other kindred tropical Ills were discussed. Spe cial attention was given the hook-worm disease, which the speaker believes may be diminished through a better knowledge of It by the profession generally, but also believes its territory will be found more extensive than now proven. He com mended In unqualified terms the work ot the United States Public Health and Ma rine Hospital Service for Its research and effective work In eradication of the yellow fever mosquito. Will DIscharec Sneclal. J, . , . . . r ' Sneclal Policeman Gardner will be dls- MEMOR charged from' the service. It Is stated, for negligence In the care of a stranger who became intoxicated recently, and during the course ot his spree was robbed of $170. Special Deputy Sheriff Howland was with Gardner and the man. and It Is said that both were grossly negligent in caring for the man, who was escorte'd about by them. Both abandoned him. although they took him from a saloon for the express pur pose, they told the saloonkeepr, ot taking him to his lodgings. There has been so much trouble with special policemen during the past two years that the service has been handi capped, and Chief ot Police Grltzmacher Is going to draw the lines pretty tight In the near future. All "specials" will be under strict discipline, and will be held to account for their actions. CONTRACTS PROTESTED. Federated Trades Council Discusses Convict Problem. A protest against letting five or ten year contracts with stove manufacturers for the state convict labor has been made by the Portland Federated Trades Coun cil and the State Federation of Labor. Governor Chamberlain has been criti cized by these bodies for allowing long time bids to be advertised for In view ot the fact that at the last session of the Legislature an act was passed authorizing him to appoint a commission to look Into the feasibility of employing the inmates of the penitentiary for road building on a large scale. Governor Chamberlain has not yet appointed thl3 commission, and, to the notion of these protesting bodies, Is making their appointment useless. The labor unions are strong against the employment ot convicts in any field of In dustry where unions have been formed and the stove foundry at the penitentiary has always been an eye-sore to them. Now they believe they have a reason for protest aside from the demoralizing In fluence on wages of making stoves with convicts, for a scale of wages said to be so low that the state Is not repaid for their keeping. C. H. Gram, state organizer for the American Federation of Labor, said yes terday that the labor unions in all parts of the state aro aroused by the adver tising for long-time contracts with the convicts when there Is a hope of utilizing them for road building. A two-year con tract at most, Mr. Gram believes, should be made. The resolution passed by the Federated Trades Council of Portland, and Indorsed by the State Federation of Labor fol lows: Portland. Or.. July 12. 1008. The 10-year contract of the I.owenberg -Going Co. with the State of Oregon for the use of the labor of the convicts of the Oregon penitentiary at the rate of 3V5 cents per hour per man hav ing expired, and under the law the Governor In hl discretion having the power to renew and contract the labor of said prisoners to any party or parties he might eo elect for any length of time: and In view of the fact that a bill passed the 23d session of the Oregon Legislature, giving the Governor au thority to appoint a road commission, whose duty shall be to Investigate the feasibility of building a broad highway from the northern line of California to the northern line of Orfgon with convict labor, and report their finding- to the 24th Oregon Legislature, we. the undersigned citlrens of the State of Ore gon, hereby protest against the renewal of the contract with the Lowenberg-Golng Com pany, or any other party or parties for the hire or selling of the labor of the state pris oners for a period not exceeding the 24th seMlon of the Oregon Legislature, and we hereby request the Honorable Governor of Oregon to carefully consider the purport of this setltlon: RELATIONS ARE STRAINED Police Captain Dislikes Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. Strained relations exist between Captain of Police Bailey and Deputy City At torney Fitzgerald because of the fact that yesterday morning William R. Cody, of the GIrard Cafe, was quietly fined S2a by Judge Cameron In the Municipal Court for keeping his saloon open after 1 A. M. No testimony was. taken In the Cody case, although this was his third offense, he having been fined by ex-Municipal Judge Hogue previously. The fine yesterday was the minimum. In the case of August Erlckson. charged with the same offense, no testimony was taken, either, but H. Fleldner. who runs a saloon near the Lewis and Clark Ex position grounds, was tried out in part and his case continued for further evi dence. "Cody is a persistent violator of the law." said Captain Bailey, after sitting about the courtroom for more than an hour before being apprised of the fact that Cody had been fined. "It strikes me that it is peculiar not to take evidence In these cases, and more peculiar that officers are obliged to sit In court an hour or more without being made aware that their cases have been disposed of." August Erlckson was fined $25 on one charge, and has to face three additional charges of a similar nature. Patrolman B. F. Smith Is the complainant, and says that Erlckson's saloon is open- every mornlng. VANCOUVER TRIPS.
