the Problem.
Indlanapolls, Oct. 2.-"We aro ln the
patent medlclne stage of lgnorance," Dr.
J. N. Hurty. oflndlana. president of the ,
Amerlcan Health Association, told the
delegates to the fourth National Conser?
vation Congress this afternoon. "Patent j
medlclnes are niore dangerous than dyna- J
mlte and the sale of them should be more i
restrlctcd They are composed chlefly ot j
alcohol. and lf alcohol could cure thls
earth would have been rld of dlsease j
ages ago."
He declared Indiana as well as other
states should heed the advice of "health
cranks" and convert one of the Insane
hoepltals lnto a school for chronlc dlseases
and save tho buildlng ef mure hospltals.
Professor E. T. Falrchild, of Topeka,
Kan., president of the National IMuca
tlonal Association, crltlclsed the school
system of the country. He declared there
were more school offlccrs than teachers.
He urged that the electlon of school supcr
Intendent* be taken out of polltlcs aml
'sald lt waa a crime agalnst the children
?f the natlon to base the selectlon of a
superlntendent. county or state, on any
qualiflcation other than educatlonal.
"Thousands of mlll hands are rlotlng In
Lawrence, Mass., because somebody has
blundered, because some positlon had |
been badly fllled." aaserted Harrlngton '
Emeraon, of New York. ln hls address On '
"The Rescue of the Flt." Mr. Emerson
sald there were three ways to flll a posl- .
tion-by giving the place to 8 henchman
or a dependent, by takijsg care of a frlend
and by plcklng out the person fitted. He
sald the most pcsitlons were fllled by the |
?*****_ method, and arMed that much of
the waste of the world was due to thls ;
fact.
*'Out of some 1.500,000 deaths annually I
ln the I'nited States. at least 630,000 are ''
jireventable," declared Professor Irving
Flsher, ol Yale Fniverslty. "Thls means
more than 1,700 unnecessary deaths 'each
? lay, or more than the Hves lost on the'
Titaiilc. The Titanlc disaster spread gloom
OTer the world, whlle the dally average
death rate rarely gets a passing eom- j
ment."
Professor Flsher sald the people of the j
country must look to the newapapers, the .
l.-urance companles and the federal gov
inment for the saving of human life.
ln the last analysls the war agalnst
i ata) le dlseases ls a struggle between j
!:,? dollar and the death rate." E. E. Rlt
U nhouse, of New York, told the delegates.
Aii'l most of our communitles prefer a
high death rate to a slight increase in
the tax rate. There is not an adequately
tmanced health department ln the coun
;rv." He added:
We are not only reducing the fertlllty
of our race and ahortening the span of
life, but we are permittlng at least 650,000
American lives to be destroyed annually
whlch we could save by the application
of simple and well known sanitary and
other precautions. Thls is our real race
sulcide problem.
Colony agents, who lnduce whole fam
llies to sell their property and mlgrate to
B faraway section of the country were
condemned by Professor George B.
Condra, of l.lncoln. Neb. "Persons wl.o
carry on thls klnd of business are the '
worst type of robbers," sald Professor j
Condra. "What we need ls a pure land I
law. the same as a pi're food law."
The executlve commlttee of the con- \
gress met to-day and began plans for a I
more permanent organization. Hereto- I
fore lt has been merely a forum for the
exchange of Ideas. Walter L. Page, of
New York, was chosen chairman of the

REBUKE FOR MAKING LOAN
European Governments Be
lieved to Favor Proposition of
Forcing China to Pay $50,
000,000?Recent Loan
Under $25,000,000.
Washington, Oct. 2.?A Jclnt detnan-l
upon Chinn for Immediate payment of ar
rears on the Boxer indemnity, about |5<V
000,000, has heen prepOBfld hy Russia *o
the other flve Intere.sted powera. It ia not
denicl iiiiufrlclally that thls movement i.s
inten.i..: M a sharp and forceful rebuk.
to the ChlraBBfl government for contractin^
loans Ita Independent bankers ln dlsre
gard nr the warnlngs of the powera ard
after rejectln. the proposed internatlonol
loan.
It ls said that the European govern- j
ments are very likely to look wlth favor j
upon the proposition. It Is by no _**_?>
certaln, however, that tbfl movement
would proceed to tha ?iXtfl-t of a fore- ]
cloaure whlcii would mean the assump
taaa of the control of Chlnese flnances by
tho powers without regard to the wishes
of the republlc. In faet. one or two of
the powers ulready are urKinK a resump
tlon of the negotlations for the placlng
of the great loan of 1350.000.000 whlch were
stopped by the eonclusion of the inde- (
pendent loan. and it ls belleved that. lf |
China consented to do this, the powera
would readily agree to grant further ex- .
tenslon of time for flnal settlement of the ,
old clalms.
Advlces from the Eurorean foreign of
fices are to the effect that the sum total
of the Independent loan recently con
tracted by Chlna was only about half as
large as was reported?that, in fa<'t, it j
was less than UE,000,000, an amount that i
will le scareely moie than suhVlent to I
meet the demands of the Chlnese army i
for pay and subslstence and dofray the I
actual cost of malntenance of the new I
government.
Russia haa taken the inltlatlve ln tiie |
movement to brlng pressure to bear upon ,
China for the reason that Ihe amount
of indemnity due to her and unpald. 825,
OOo.OOO. ls equal to the total amount of
the indebtodness due to the other flve
powers combined. These payments have
been accuntulating now for a year, and
the poweis have refrained from demand
Ing settlements out of consideration for
the tremendous travail through whl.h
China has been passing, resultlng in the
blrth of the new rtpublic.
Now, however, the deallng of Chlna dl
re<nly wlth Independent bankers has ln
sj.ired some of the six powers with a
fear that tho concert ia likely to be dis
tolved as the result of the awatd to some
of them of speclal privlleges of explolta
tion in Chlna.
