To Be Created for Public and Philan thropic Hospitals. New York, March 24. A conference has been held by representatives of 62 public and prlyate hospitals of the city of New Tork which will result in those Institutions being represented by a central committee to devise the best methods of dealing with prevalent con- ditlons and raising a common endow ment fund. The conference was the first move to meet the annual deficit which every hospital reports. The speakers agreed that it is necessary to educate the peo ple to give more financial aid. To remedy the trouble the belief was ex pressed that an Independent body should be created composed of men and women chosen for their knowledge of social conditions who shall study the hospital problem of the whole city who shall work constantly and per sistently to educate the public on all phases of hospital work, its far-reach ing benefits to every family and the responsibility of the public for its maintenance according to the best standards of medical and surgical science. The hospitals of the city might, the speakers, believed, then form a logical system for the care of the sick rather than a haphaxard col lection of activities, each going Its own way without regard to the others The plan was agreed on and a com mittee will be appointed consisting of 12 well known men and women.

LIMIT THE OUTPUT Musician's Union Declares There is Too Much Music MINIMUM SIZED ORCHESTRA To B Established in All Theaters Concert and Dance Halls and Only Union Bands Will Be Allowed to Discourse a Hot Time in Old Town. Chicago, March 24. An overproduc tion of music is believed by the Chi cago Federation of Musicians to be threatening Chicago. Consequently the union proposes to relieve the situ ation by establishing a "limitation of output." "Let each union musician agree to furnish go much music and no more," said an official of the federation. "On this basis the scheme is now being formulated." Prof. T. F. Kennedy of the Musi cians' union has prepared a list of all theaters and concert and dance halls In the city, together with the seating capacity and size of each. The next step will be to establish a mini mum sized orchestra or band which will be allowed to play in the various places. By this method of restriction it Is hoped, the musical output of each man will be checked. It will be possible under such a plan to furnish only a modicum of grand opera or rag time to an audience of 500 persons. For 1000 persons the amount will be doubled, and the ratio will be maintained Indefinitely. Officials -of the federation explained that it was a defensive move. "Managers have been reducing the size of orchestras and bands until we have been forced to seek protection," they said. "Three or four players were expected to make themselves heard in a hall seating 2000 or 3000 persons. The musicians always re ceived the blame If they did not suc ceed." SCHOONER ABANDONED. C. W.

ANOTHERPRQFESSOK Burning Midnight Oil Essential to Acquiring Education. SO SAYS CHICAGO PROFESSOR Dr. John A. Scott of Chicago Declare That the Great Schollart of Today Are Not Those Who Study Early in the Morning as of Yore. Chicago. March 24. Dr. John A Scott, professor of Greek In North western university, addressing on of his classes In defense of "burning the midnight oil." has declared the great scholars of today are not those who study early In the morning, but those who study lute Into the night "In oldon days," he said, "the Pers ians congregated at daybreak to pur sue their studies, but nowadays the great scholars pore over their books at night. In the morning one's eyes are not clear, his head Is still numb from sleep and he Is In no condition for mental work. "Because of the lack of Illuminating facilities the ancients were obliged to study In the early morning before the beginning of the day s work, but today our greatest students do their best work after the sunlight has faded away. That Is the best opportunity for mental Improvement, and. although I would not urge any of you to refrain from rising early. I would advise you to do your studying at night" BATTLESHIP DAMAGED.
