River, Including a visit to tongue Inland
Ths remainder of the members left for

the University Hospital at a supper given
at the King ot Prussia Inn.
Tlw newly elected omnicers ares Presi

of Health; first vice president. Dr. A. n.

superintendent of Johns Hopkins Hospital,
Baltimore, and Miss Mary S. Keith, of
Rochester, N. T.
It Is very likely that the national head
quarters of the association will be In Phila
delphia, according to a number ot the phy
sicians attending the convention. The or
ganisation has approved a plan to establish
a salaried office for a permanent secretary
and that the hedquarters ot the society
be established In the city where the secre
tary shall reside. It Is thought by many
that Dr. William H. Walsh, of this city, the
present secretary, will be chosen to fill
the new office.
Dr. IUchard B. Borden offered an ex
preoslon of special thanks to Philadelphia
and to the Mayor for the many courtesies
extended to the society during the conven
tion. Delegates are Indignant over charges
made by Dr. John J Bowman, director
of the American College of Surgeons,
who said that many operations were
performed when there was no necessity for
them. Ha also said that patients were
hustled on to the operating- tables without
proper diagnosis, and that there was rivalry
between surgeons In some hospitals to get
the operation fees and that patients were
not kept in the hospitals a few days to
watch their progress for "fear they will
ret well, no operations will be necessary.
Burgeons will get no fees and the hospitals
will get sore."
Some of the hospital authorities sayrsuch
statements may mean the loss of many
lives which might otherwise be saved. They
aay many persons fear operations because
they do not know of the wonderful and
comprehensive diagnosis system in use In
many hospitals.
American hospitals rank among the best
and the most conscientious In the whole
world, according to Miss Kleontke Klonare.
superintendent of the Children's Hospital at
Athens, Greece. She Is here to attend the
meeting at the Bellevuc-Stratford roof gar
den. Although she did not Bay much con
cerning the statements made by Dr. Bow
man, she did not seem to approve what he
bad said to the delegates yesterday after
Boon. BOSTON WOMAN OBJECTS
Miss E. A, Anderson, superintendent of
vie uapusi ilospual at Boston, took Issue
with. Doctor Bowman's statements and
drew attontlon to the fact that a hospital
such as ho talked of "Is ono In thousands."
"It la too bad that any such statement
as Doctor Bowman's should be made,"
Miss Anderson said. "It may bo true In
torn Isolated cases, and the members of a
hospital association would understand
but It Is dangerous for such Information to
be sent to the public, which does not under
stand. People might believe that It Is a
general custom In all hospitals to cut pa
tients open without proper diagnoses. Many
lives which mught be saved by operations
may be lost as a direct result of the re
marks made by Doctor Bowman and
printed broadcast throughou.the country."
"Pew persons realize or know with what
Infinite care most of tho American hospitals
diagnose the cases," added Miss Anderson.
"In most of the hospitals they do not even
operate any more on the diagnosis of any
one man. The. surgeon Is no longer su
preme In his statement that an operation
la "needed, ff cannot tell without many
precautions whether a person Is really suf
fering with appendicitis or not. X-ray
pictures tare taken, patients are put under
nurses and doctors for days, and there Is
ery seldom a chance In the hospitals of
this country that operations are 'Just per
formed if or fees.' "

WORK OP CLIQUE SEEN IN
SCHEME TO BLOCK TRANSIT
CeirtlnnM from rr One ,
B. Johnson, president of tne Baldwin Loco
motive Works, according to one of the vice
presidents.
The only result of the resolution then
was a frulttoss attempt to delay the vote
on the transit loan bill until some outside
oxpert had been called to this city to make
a survey of the situation.- As such a pro
gram would havo sidetracked the whole
transit plan and meant months ot d?lay,
the move failed
The attempt to have Mr Parsons called
In at the time, It Is charged by supporters
of the Taylor transit plan. Is simply an
other move for delay. The first evidences
be the agent of lessee, but Just now Phila
delphia Is In a position of seeking an agent
to take over the lines once they are com
pleted. That Is distinctly up to the city
and not up to us as representatives of the
city on the transit board. If any experts
aro railed In at this time It will be done by
Mayor Smith, as Mayor, and not by any ac
tion of ourselves as directors on the ltapld
Transit board.
"The 1914 agreement was not an agree
ment, as nothing was agreed to. It wns a
suggestion made by former Director of
Transit A. Mcrrltt Taylor, and was never
accepted or agreed to. Several suggestions
were made, but none was ever screed to.

expert developed last night at a meeting of
the united Business Mens Association In
the Hotel Bingham.
WILIi CONTINUE FIGHT
William Hancock, president ot the asso
ciation and one ot the city's representation
on the Philadelphia Bapld Transit board,
threatened to resign from the board If the
business men passed a resolution Introduced
by Arch R. Schock deDlorlng the Plan to
seek outside aid.
Supported by Municipal Court Judge
Raymond MnoNellle and seeral others, Mr.
Hancock finally forced the defeat of the
resolution by a vote of 61 to SO. An open
throat was made, however, that the decision
would not be ntlowed to stand and that
another moetlng would be called In which
nl the outlying associations would bo pres
ent with their full representation to recisttr
their position
Mayor Smith admitted today Mr. Parsons
had not been definitely engaged.
"I have never seon Mr. Parsons, nor have
I ever written to him," said the Mayor,
"and whether or not he Is to come Is not
definitely decided. He is coming over next
week, however, for a conference, and what
will be done then, of course, I cannot say
now."
HANCOCK CONTIIADICTED ,
Mr. Hancock, during the debate at the
business men's moetlng last night, flatly
denied that there was any such thing as a
tentative agreement between the company
and the city. This agreement, he said,
consisted ot a train conversation between
former Transit Director A. Mcrrltt Taylor
and Ellis Ames Ballard, chief counsel for
the company.
Supportors of Mr. Taylor, for Mr. Han
cock's benefit, pointed out that on March
2C, 1911, the Transit Company submitted
In printed form the conditions under which
it would operate the new Ilries. On April
7 Mr. Taylor submitted also In printed form
his reply and the counter-proposals. For
the following month and a half a series
of conferences were held between Mr. Tay
lor, K. T. Stotesbury, chairman of tho board
of directors of the Transit Company ; Thom
as K. Mitten, president of the company;
Kilts Ames Ballard and others, and on
May 27 a program was worked out harmon
izing the wishes of both parties. It is this
later program presented In pamphlet form
which Is known as the tentative agreement.
COLONEL POTTER'S STAND
Colonel Sheldon Potter, In discussing the
transit situation, today, denied that elthor
ho or Mr. Hancock, as representatives on
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Board, had
any concern in the iraming of a lease.
"The question of employing transit ex
perts." he said, "from this or any other city
for the purpose of drawing up a lease or
agreemont to have the Rapid Transit Com
pany take over lines built by the city at an
approximate cost of S6S.000.000 is ono that
In no way affects Mr. Hancock or myself
as representatives ot the city on the board
of directors of the Rapid Transit Company.
"The newspapers and the public generally
do not scent to understand the situation
in so far as we are concerned. Wo are mere
ly representing the city as members of the
Transit Board, not as exports on leasing.
Nothing relative to a leaso or an agreement
has been brought before us as members
of the Transit Board, and until the city
Itself, through Mayor Smith, has some
proposition to make to the Rapid Transit
Company we will not figure.
"Any calling in of outslao experts to
frame possible terms of leasing must be
done by the Mayor, and I undeistand that
such Is his Intention. Mr. Hancock and I
can have no part in any actual framing of
a leaso, as we are merely on the transit
board to take care of the city's Interests
when the question of leases or any other
subject nffecting the city's Interests Is
brought before us.
"The publlo made the demand for tho
new linos not the Rapid Transit Company.
The Rapid Transit Company may In the end
plans are of value, but lust how valu&hla
remains to be seen.
"The city of Philadelphia has something
It wants to lease or entrust to agents, but
It cannot force any one to take over tho
lines. No one ever said he wanted tho
complete system, and at this time the city
Is in the position of seeking some one to
operate. Now If tho Mayor and tho city
need outside experts to go over posslblo leas
ing plants, that Is distinctly up to tho city
and Is something with which Mr. Hancock
and myself have nothing to do. Wo wero
appointed to care for the city's Interests in
tho board of dltectors and not to frame an
agreement that the city can offer to the
company. When that proposition reaches
the board our functions will begin."
JUDGE STARTS DISCUSSION
Social Workers Talk of Davis Plan for
Vice District
Social workers throughout the city are
today discussing the second declaration by
Judge Davis In Quarter Sessions Court
that segregation of Ice under strict medi
cal and police Burvelllnnco was the only
solution of the problem of the social cll.
Tho Judge yesterday made tho foregoing
observation In doaltng with tho cases of
seeral women arrested In tho July 16 raid.
"Other people may talk of what they
would do In such cases," said Judgo Davis,
"but they have not had tho actual exper
ience nnd therefore do not know the full
problem that confronts a Judge .when
women of the street are brought before
him.
"I repeat that the only way to remedy
this evil Is to regulate It by statute, put It
under a strict medical and police surveil
lance, stop the spreading of many diseases
and do away with useless raids. Confine
such objectlonablo people to a certain sec
tion of the city."
The Judge placed some of tho women on
probation and allowed others to go on pay
ment of the costs ot prosecution.

SOCIALISTS PROMISE
PRESIDENTIAL SURPRISE
Democrats and Republicans Will
Got "Greatest of Lives," Ben
son, Nominee, Says
The Socialist party will give President
Wilson and members ot both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties "the greatest
surprise ot their lives In November," ac
cording to Allan L. Benson, Socialist can
didate for President
He made the prediction before leaving
Philadelphia today, after having addressed
audfences In Lu Lu and Eagles' Temples
last night on the relative merits of the sev
eral party issues In the campaign.
Far more powerful and Influential than
the now defunct Progressive party, Mr.
Uenson said, the Socialist party will poll
2,000,000 votes In November, and Socialists
mill for ths first time see a group of their
representatives In Congress, eager and
ready to defend the Interests ot the working
classes.
LEADER'S STATEMENT
Tho Socialist party Is the only nntl-pre-pnredness
party, tho only labor party, the
only anti-war party, and the only real
woman suffrage party, said Mr. Uenson.
His statement follows:
'Two million votes for the Socialist ticket
next November Is the surprise of trie cam
paign In store for both old parties. The So
cialist party, which doubled Its vote In 1912,
will double It .again In this election. Tho
Socialist party is going to bo a powerful
third party after the November election Is
over. It wilt be more powerful and In
fluential as such than was the now-defunct
Progressive party, for the reason that
the Progressive party was a one man's
party and when Theodore Roosevelt desert
ed It tq throw his support to the arch-roac-tlonary
Hughes the party died.
"The Socialist party Is not a one man's
party. It Is a party that has a real mes
sage behind ,lt, and when It gets through
delivering that messige and registers a
vote of 2,000,000 on November 7, the pre
paredness jingoes. Including President Wil
son, and the foreign market hunters and
war mongers will have the greatest sur
prise of their lives. The only way In which
to halt the plans of Wall street for a great
trade war that Is to give American capital
a placo In the sun,' even at the cost of
war, it to roll up a great (toetattst Vote.
We are going to do It on November 7
RAILROAD DtSPUTB
"Ths dispute between the railways and
the railroad brotherhoods has taught the
workers of America a great lesson. Thay
are at last beginning tocaltse that the only1
way for 'the working people to leld any
power In the councils of government Is to
do It by means of a political party of their
own and that party la the Socialist party
"The Socialist party Is the only antl
preparedness party. It Is the only real
woman suffrage party. It Is the only labor
party. It Is, the only anti-war party
Watch the Socialists roll up a vote ot 1,000.
000 and then watch the Jackals of Wall
Street run for cover. We are going to
spke the guns already set for action by
those who would throw the United States
Into a war for the sake of commercial ad
vantage. "Wo are going to Invade the Congress
of the United States when the election Is
over and for the first time In the history
ot this country there will be a Socialist
group In Congress that will defend the In
terests of ths working class and the
working class only."

ONE YEAR AGO THE
3" -00 r.p.m. CHALMERS CAME INTO
EING; NOW 50,000,000 HAPPY
MILES LIE BEHIND IT
Just one year ago the 3400 r. p. m.
Chalmers was Born.
September 30th is its Anniver
sary Day.
It was untVied, unknown,
looked a little strange because it
was different, and nnhnrlvnnfcrirld
of four men knew what it could r. p..m. Chalmers.
Uw
Then behold the situation. Six
months later' these 18,000 cars
were all built. Then 1 0, 000 more
were ordered.
And a few days ago we got
word that 20,000 more are being
built r 48.000 of these 3400
These four men the men who
had dreamed the car had little
to say.
"What will it do?" they were
asked.
''Get in and try," they replied.
And in three days' time every
last Chalmers executive had ex
perienced a thrill that was new
behind the wheel.
They banged it around in city
traffic, abused it on hills, ran it
through broken fields, made it
take hurdles they would never
ask their own personal cars to
take."
They were amazed and then
they sat down and decided to
build three times as many of these
cars as they had ever built of any
model in a single year before
$22,000,000 worth.
. 48,000 in all a $50,000,000
business in a single model 1
So you see why we are proud to
have a birthday party for the car.
Any car that has 50,000,000
happy miles of use behind it
certainly has an interesting his
tory and its birthday anniversary
is an event.
Remember this is only its first
birthday. So successful has the
car proven that the Chalmers
Company is continuing- to build
it right through into next year.
So you're safe in getting a car
now that won't be obsolete in
the spring.
Consider the price, $1090
Detroit".
Come in today. Attend the
birthday party.
