Woods Hutchinson De scribes Medicine's Conquest in Behalf of Colonists. PLEA FOR CRIPPLES MADE Education, Not Sympathy, Declared Real Need of Unfortunates. SETTLERS CARRY DISEASE Surrey by Physician, Trenching, Testing and Disinfecting Are De clared First Needs of Any , Country Newly Opened. SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. Medi cine's conquest of the foes of civiliza tion, and the progress of some un finished battles, were told tonight by Ir. Woods Hutchinson, of New York, In his address on assuming the presi dency of the American Academy of Medicine convening in Its 40th annual convention. The Physician as a Pioneer" was his subject, in line with the general topic to which all the sessions of this year's academy meeting are devoted, namely, "Medicine in Its Relationships to Commerce and Transportation." Dr. Hutchinson said in . part: 'The real enemies o the pioneer are insects. Most schemes of coloniza tion that failed did so through disease. And more than half of them from one disease malaria. This is not merely the Age of Man, but the Age of Injects. "In the tropics, the insects get the whip hand of man and keep him fctupid. short-lived, uncivilized. It was the plague of flies, the bloody tyranny of insects, that drove man out of the warm, comfortable, fertile tropics into the chilly, rain-swept, half the year frozen north. Now grown to full human stature, he is coming back to Invade and reconquer the tropics and put to flight the ancient foes of the race. Doctor-Knirtoeer First Need. "The first and most fundamental re Quirements of a new colony are a doctor-engineer with microscope ana test tubes, spades and trenching ma chines, and plenty of quinine, kerosene and mosquito-netting. "In the near future, no colony or land company will be permitted to take settlers into their new homes, until a thorough and complete survey shall have been made of the region, sanitary, medical, entomological, expert agri cultural. And at least a sufficient area to accommodate in safety the first srouD of settlers shall have been drained and keroscned and supplied with good water. . "In the light of our present knowl edge, it should be regarded as little short of manslaughter to permit men, women and little children who are unfamiliar with the country, unsea soned to the climate, to enter and face the dangers of settlement in a new country or district without this prelim inary survey and protection. "New countries can and ought to be made models of health, efficiency and comfort for the older communities, and could easily be made so at moderate expense, if the physician-pioneer be given a free hand in advance, as Gorgas was at Panama. In fact we can pretty nearly assure success. Settlers Urine Disease. "It must be remembered in fairness that bad as insects are, they do not originate the diseases they spread, but only carry them from one infected human being to other healthy ones. Deprive them of their source of in fection, and they become comparatively harmless. If the new country be un inhabited or sparsely settled. It is easy to cure or isolate cases. "Generally speaking new settlers bring their diseases with them, and a most effective way of protecting a new settlement against not merely insect borne, but all. other communi cable diseases, would be a thorough physical examination of all intending settlers and their families. A few weeks' isolation or appropriate treat ment with quinine, salvarsan, thymol, .etc., would be sufficient in the vast ma jority of cases to clear up ail risk. Such examination, in combination with a proper sanitary survey, turn new countries into little health-heavens on earth." SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. Substi tution of education for sympathy in the preparation of cripples for their life battles was urged today by Dr. Leonard W. Ely, associate professor of ortho pedic surgery at Stanford University, before the Congress of the American School Hygiene Association. "The education of the cripple is han dled largely on sentimental lines." he said, "hence inefficiently. The cripple needs education more than does the sound youth. "The cripple needs many things transportation to and from work, spe cial desks, hours and schoolroom meth ods. Cripples with complete training would be able to practice professions, carry on highly skilled labor and fol low intellectual callings, if the money were provided to educate them." ROBBERS FAIL TO . GET $75 Two in Vancouver Store Do Not Know How Cusli Register Works. VANCOUVER. Wash., June 25. (Spe cial.) Ignorance of the operation of a cash register on the part of two masked robbers in the A. 13. Arnold grocery at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday night prevented them from getting nearly $73. They secured only $8 and escaped. The two young men entered and de manded that Mr. Arnold throw up his hands. Ho complied. One robber reached across the counter, pressed the lever on the register and it opened and exposed one row of compartments containing the silver change. Had they pulled the drawer out two inches more they would have found goid and bills. It is believed these same two rob bers attempted to hold up Mrs. Luise Underline, at the end of the Capitol Hill carline, but she drove them away with a gun.

By a vote of 76 to 67 the J20.000 bond issue to construct an addition to the high school building here was de feated Thursday.

(Spe cial.) A special meeting of the Com mercial Club will be held tomorrow night to consider plans for an addition to the high school building, following the defeat of the $20,000 bond issue at the polls yesterday.

V t:JsSrX'W V "I""" J '"5 2 ON TRIAL FOR HOLDUP MRS. MOLLY Bl'RGETT IS CALLED "BRAINS" OF STAGE ROBBERY. Denials of "Sour Dough Bill" Haider Contradicted and Woman Sig nal to Men Related. BAKER, Or.. June 25. (Special.) Mrs. Molly Burgett and "Sour, Dough Bill" Haider were placed on trial to gether in the Circuit Court today on the charge of participating In the holdup of the Durkee stage and rob bing it of T000 in gold bullion. The defense intended to have separate trials, but the conviction last night of Carlson changed these plans. Evidence was introduced by the prosecution to show that Mrs. Burgett was the brains of the trio and that she stood on a hilltop near her cabin, saw the stage start from the Rainbow mine and signaled to the other two to pre pare to hold up the stage. H. S. Lee, superintendent of the -mine, explained how this would be possible. Haider has maintained that he was not at Mrs. Burgett's cabin the night before the holdup. Carlson testified that he was. Ed Hannon, Marshal, of Huntington, testified that Haider had denied, when first arrested, that he had a revolver while In Mormon Basin, and later admitted that he hid it after the holdup. The courtroom . was crowded today. The case will prob ably go to the 5ury late tomorrow. CHICAGO GETS CONVENTION Republicans Are Reported Pledged, Democrats "Almost" Committed. CHICAGO, June 25.

Mr. Sullivan said that 20 Democratic National committeemen had given their pledges, and that he expected little diffi culty in obtaining the seven additional necessary members. ORDNANCE EXPERTS GO PRIVATE CONCERNS WITH WAR CONTRACTS DEPLETE ARMY. Reaisnationa Regarded by Official aa Unpatriotic, but Authority to Re strain Them Is Doubted. . WASHINGTON, June 25. Offers of large salaries to expert ordnance offi cers of the Army by private manufac turers of war munitions for European belligerents have created such a seri ous problem in the War Department that Secretary Garrison today called upon Attorney-General Gregory for an opinion as to whether an Army officer has an "inalienable right" to resign his commission in time of peace. While Government officials are reluc tant to permit wholesale resignations and even are inclined to consider it unpatriotic for officers to quit the serv ise for more money, the legal author ities seriously doubt that any law can be found to keep an officer in the Army against his wilL. Another source of concern, for the War Department is the considerable number of civil employes, scientific men and skilled mechanics leaving Govern ment arsenals and powder plants for r,T-lvato mnl rvmg.nt Tllre U no (llieS- tion of the right of these men to go j where they please, nowever, so me oesi the department can do is to make their places as attractive as possible. WAR PRISONERS COMPLAIN German Doctors Tell of TJnsatisfac- y , tory Conditions in I'rance. BERLIN, June 25. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.) Included in the news items given out today by the Overseas News Agency were the following: A dispatch from Berne, Switzerland, says that Doctors Eugeter and Demarval have published reports of visits to French prison camps, in the majority of which they declare conditions were bad. Either the sanitary conditions were poor, the food was poor or the author ities were tactless, the doctors said. Occasionally, they said, the prisoners were compelled to work in the hot sun for 10 or 12 hours without hats, many who were unused to such work being ill. Many of the camps, the doc tors said, contained wounded prisoners in need of treatment Punishment for breaches of discip line, tney said, was rigorous, the only exception being- the prison ships at 3ordeaux, where the prisoners made no complaint of their treatment.
