W, VALUE IN EXPERIENCE Physician's Highest Duty De clared to Be Aeistanie of Nature Atlantic Cltj-i May 7 Dr. Francis H. Wllllami", of Boston, pleading for a simplification of medical practice before the thlrtj -third annual convention of the Association of Ameri can Physicians at Hotel Tramore to day, deplored the existence of a ' Rap" between the subjects or materia medlca, pharmacology, and therapeutics on tle one hand and the practice of medicine on the other, and strongly urged the uni versal adoption by medical schools on what he termed bedside instruction j Surgeons, he said, are shown eery phase of how to operate, but students In the medical treatment of patlenta do not tret this practical preparation prior to receiving their diplomas. The power In the hands of the phjslclan does not dls play Itself so dramatically as that In the hands of the surgeon, but It Is no less essential and opportunltcs for Its use are more frequent. Practical Experience Needful He cdntlnued: "A' subject fo unusually complex as therapeutics should not only be pre sented In lectures and recitations: the student needs to be shown when and how to use his knowledge, the when ti Include a very emphatic when not to employ powerful remedies, unless he ! sure that by Interference he may assl't nature. . "Students should, be taken Into vvards grouped about patients' beds, given briefly the diagnosis and the stage of the disease, with a suitable outline of the case, and requested to set lorin in writing a statement of what they would do If the patient were their own . "I believe that bedside teaching of therapeutics Is of the first Importance to students, to practitioners nnd to the community Medical students should be taught not to use active remeaics -nun-out a good reason Just as the oung surgeon should learn not to ue the knife without proper deliberation Rehearsal at llednlde "My plea is for a careful, painstiklng rehearsal at the bedside by the student of what he is to do as a practitioner He who can give sleep by simpler means than the use of hvpnotlcs or relieve many of the lesser forms of pain with out resorting to morphine has obtained a more complete command of therapeutic renmirres than one who uses the more powerful remedies to overcome the lesser obstacles Medical students should now be made to realize that the role of the practitioner Is to assist nature, and that though nature as a rule must do the work, she frequently needs the aid which a wise phjslclan can render today In greater degree than ever before It Is inspiring to picture the opportunities which will be In the hands of the prac titioner of the future, even within two or three generations It will then be an cv en greater prlv ilege to be a ph slclan " 'Before the American I Gastro-Intero-ioslcal Association Dr. Max Elnshorn said that diseases of the gall, bladder and allied organs rapidly are being stripped of their mssterles by rapid ad vances In surgical technique. Dr John C. Hemmeter. of Baltimore, advanced the thought that both the absence of a normal quantity or gasina juices mu i superabundance might be causes of gall stones, an automatic effort on tha part of nature to expel foreign secretions Trench fever will be a convention topic tomorrow bef ore the Associations of Physicians.

It appear; today that a vote on tho measure Is very likely either at the end of this week or early next, unless some parliamentary proced ure upsets the plan of the leaders While the general opinion Is that the Federal amendment for suffrage will be adopted, there Is still room for doubt to day. Absence of some Senators and general pairing of votes may cause the, suffrape cause to lose some votes Mem. bers of the Senate Suffrage Committee have notified all absentees and urged them to be present on Friday Claims of those supporting the suf frage cause show that twentj -eight Re publican Senators are definitely pledged to the amendment and twentv -seven Democrats are pledged. This gives MM -five of the necessary sixty-four votes In addition to the twenty-eight Itrpubllcans who are said to be posi tive pledged, there are five other Re publican Senators understood to be for the amendment. There are four Repub lican Senators who are listed as 'doubt ful." but It Is said these votes will be cast for the amendment when the final vote comes On the Democratic side of the cham ber there are a number of ' doubtful" votes, but those supporting the measure nssert that the opposition In the Demo cratic side of the chamber Is weakening New members of the Senate may upset tho plans, however Senator Balrd, of New Jersev, who waa listed as for the measure, is understood to now be against It. Senator Gulon, of Louisiana, is understood to be for the measure, but there Is some doubt whether he will be able to be In the Senate on Friday. Predictions were rife In the Senate today The consensus of opinion was that the amendment would be adopted At the same time, however, even the most optimistic supporters admit that the vote will be so close that there Is no certainty Those opposed to the amend ment declare the vote will be lost by two votes The voluntary action of the Senate Committee on Suffrage In bringing up the measure Is generally taken to Indicate that they are confident of victory BlKI Staff Correspondent Washington, May 7 A thorough Investigation Is to be made of the Submarine Boat Company, at Newark Bay. N. J beginning tomorrow, by the-Senate Committee on Commerce, which some time ago made a searching Investigation into the Hog Island ship building plant of the American Inter national Shipbuilding Corporation. At Its regular meeting this morning the Senate Commerce Committee dis cussed the details of Its findings when It visited the Newark shipbuilding plant several weeks ago. and decided to hold hearings beginning at 10:30 o'clock to morrow morning, In order to make a more thorough Investigation Senator Fletcher, chairman of the committee, communicated with Charles M. Schwab, the new director general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation and Edward N, Hurlev, chairman of the shipping board, and arranged for them to appear tomorrow morning as the first wlrneas.es The fact that the Submarine Boat Company Is about two months behind Its schedule in building fabricated steel merchnnt ships for the Emergencv Fleet Corporation Is the principal reason for holding the Investigation Senator Fletcher said The Newark shipyard obtained Its contract for building ships for the Gov ernment about two months before the award of the contract to the Hog Island yard, jet construction at the Newark plant Is now only equal to thit at Hog Island. "Did Mr. Schwab or Mr Hurley ask for this Investigation'" Senator Flitcher was asked "No, but we have summoned them as the first witnesses," he replied ' "Have 'ou found any glaring Irregu larities, extravagances or Incompetency at the Newark plant?" "So far as we have gone we have found nothing startling," replied Sen ator Fletcher "When our committee visited the Newark jard some time ago we found the plant two months behind Its schedule with Its work mid saw some other 'things which we believe warrant further Investigation "Incompetence mav have been re sponsible for this delay of two mouths, nnd It may have been for some other reason We want to give this shlpvard the same thorough Investigation' we gave Hog Islard " Senator Fletcher said that doubtless fhlragn.
