PRAISES HIS FRIEND, GENERAL
LEONARD WOOD, WHO
CLEANED UP CUBA AND
HAS NOT BEEN
REWARDED.
Oyster Bay, July 12. President
Roosevelt delivered an address this
afternoon before the Associated Phy
siclans of Long Island. He discussed,
in the course of his spetfich, the rela
tions the physician sustains with the
people oi the communities in which
they reside and the work to be done
by medical experts In connection with
the construction of the Panama canal
declaring that despite all difficulties
on the isthmus and here in the Unit
ed States the canal would be a suc
cess.
Sanitary Work in Cuba.
He referred to the achievements of
sanitary engineers who cleaned the
cities of Cuba for the first time in
four hundred years and closed by
paying a tribute to the .services of
General Leonard Wood, whose care as
a military officer, he said was flouted
by some critics because he had once
had been a doctor,
.The president was accorded a cor
dial reception by the physicians. At
the conclusion of the president's ad
dress and at Rofsevelt's own sugges
tion an Informal reception was held,
each member of the association being
presented to the president. After the
president; retired from the hall the
association unanimously elected him
and- Gen. Leonard Wood honorary
members of the association.
Straight Talk aato Panama.
Speaking of the especial reference
to the Panama canal, the president
after referring to - the necessity of
having a proper type of medical work
as a preliminary said: "That Is the
first, condition upon which depends
, our success in solving engineering
and administrative problems of the
work itself. I am happy to say the
work Is being admirably done and 1
am glad to have the chance of say
ing it.
Talks Sarcastically of Quitters.
"Now and then some alarmist report
will come from Panama. Just a couple
or... weans ago mere seemed to be a
succession of people coming up from
Panama, each one of whom had some
tale or other to tell. You will always
find in any battle, even if it is a vie
torious battle, that in the rear you
will meet a number of gentlemen who
are glad that . they are not at the
front, who. If they have unfortunately
gotten at the front, have come away,
and who justify their absence at the
front by telling tales of how every
thing has gone wrong there.
Those Who Stay at Their Posts.
"Now, the people who flee. Panama
will carry up here just such stories
as, people who flee from the forefront
of a battle carry to the rear with
them. The people to whom this coun
try owes and will owe so much are
those who stay down there and do not
talk, but t their work and do It well.
Of coursfi, In doing a great work like
that in the tropics, in a region which
until this government took posses
sion of it, wfts accounted to be a re
gion exceptionally unhealthy, we are
going to havo trouble, have soma yel
low fever, have a good deal of ma
larial fever, and suffer more from the
latter than from yellow fever al
though we will hear nothing like the
talk about It.
Will Not Be a Failure. '
"We have now and then troubles as
regards hygiene, Just as we will have
trouble in engineering problems, jtwt
as occasionally we will have troubles
In the administrative work. When
6ver one of these " troubles comes
there will be a large number of excel
lent but timid men who, will at once
say what a calamity It is, and expresfr
deepest sorrow and concern, and be
rather inclined to the belief that the
whole thing is a failure. It will not
be a failure. It will be a success; and
It will be a success because we shall
treat every little check not as a rca
son for abandoning the work, hut ai
a reason for changing and bettering
our plans bo as to make It impossible
that particular check shall happen
again." .
Praise For "My Friend Wood."
The president then spoke of General
WfcKwl'B successful sanitary work In
Cuba and added:
"This country has never done bet
tor work, that Is, .orfc that la reflect
ing more than honor upon the country
or for hunianity at large than the
work done in Cuba. And the man
who above all others who Is respons
ible for doing that, work no well, wan
a member of your profession, who
whsa. the. call to irm cam he aim-
self went as a soldier in the field.
Leonard Wood did in Cuba just ths
kind of work that for instance. Lord
Cromer has done in Egypt,
"We have not been able to reward
Wood in anything like the proportion
that services such as his would have
been rewarded in any one country of
the first rank in the world; and there
has been no meaner and more unpleas
ant manifestations in all our public
history than the feelings of envy and
jealousy manifested toward Wood.
And the foul assaults and attacks
made upon him , gentlemen, were
largely because they grudged the fact
that this admirable military officer
should have been a doctor."

CHINESE COOLIES. '
Oyster Bay, July 12. Immigration
to the United States and its relation
to the labor problem formed the sub
ject of a conference between the pres
ident and Samuel Gompers of Wash
ington,, and James Duncan of Quincy,
Mass., respectively president and one
of the vice presidents of the Amerl
can Federation of Labor. ,
The conference was devoted prin
cipally to a consideration of an order
recently issuea Dy tne president re
garding the enforcement of Chinese
exclusion law. The impression had
been gained by many labor organlza
tlons that the order to an extent at
least, let down immigration bars, so
far as Chinese are concerned. The
president assured his callers, how
ever, that no such construction prop
rly could be placed on the order and
that he was just as vigorously opposed
o the admission to this country of
Chinese coolies as they could be,
Gompers urged upon the president the
desirability for an intelligent, prac
tlcal and humane consideration of the
question of immigration by the people
and by congress.

This story was told by an old phy-.
slolAn, who had practiced for nearly
fifty years tn a small country town.
Ona day he was summoned to a farm
house, where he found a woman in a
high fever and evidently exceeding

was the only other person in the
house:
"Your wife is very sick, and must
have nothing to eat except milk and
beef tea, but I want you to glva her
a cup of one orthe other every two
hours." When he came the next moor
ing and asked about his patient her
husband Bald:
"Tfcat beef tea don't agroe with her,
doctor. It certainly don't. She began
to feel bad as boob as she took It."
"ThRt's odd," said the doctor. "You
didn't give her any little bits of the
meat In it, did you?"
"No, sir; I Btratned it first on ac
count of tho grounds." 1
"Grounds!" roared the doctor.
"What did you make that beef tea
Cut ot?"
"Corn beef and the best green tea.

HEN WOMEN, CHILDREN
SHIP' SCUTTLED AND STARTED

WOMAN LEFT BUT SHE
ESCAPED AND TOLD
THE STORY.
New Orleans, La., July 12. Details
have just been received here of one
of the most shocking tragedies in all
annals of crime. The Island of Utllla
eft the Hondurean coast was the scene
of the tragedy and twelve lives were
sacrificed, the motive belug robbery.
The captain of the schooner Olym
pia had started on a cattle buying ex
pedition. Her crew and passengers
totalled thirteen including two women
two children. The ship left Ut'ila the
night of June 30. Alwut midnight
everybody was aroused by a shot
They rushed n deck and Robert Mc
Gill, a negro armed with a Winchester,
shot them down one after another.
After he had killed all but one man
McGlll ordered him to scuttle the ship,
and when he reappeared on deck and
eported McGill shot' him dead. The
negro (hen put the two women, Miss
Eliza Morgan and her sister, Mrs
Walter Rose, in the dory, with Mrs,
Rose's stx week's old infant, on the
boat, steering for the main land. He
changed his mind about allowing the
women to live, and killed Mrs. Rose
and her infant. Then he began shoot
ing at Miss Morgan, and wounded her
in the arm. He fired at her ineffect
ually, but hi ammunition evidently
gave out, for lie promised her-immu-
n'ty from harm if she would come
back to the dory. She startel back
and when within an oar's length he
struck her over the head with anoar,
stunning her. Believing she was dead,
he rowed away toward the mainland.
Miss Morgan swam buck to the Island
and after hiding for two days in bush
es was rescued. , When slie told her
story a search was made and McGill
caught on the toad to Cebia. An at
tempt was made to lynch him, but he
was protected and taken back to the
Island. The Honduroan laws forbid
capital punishment, but, it is bel'eved
the people will take the case into their
own hands and torture him to death.

you." Then, without meaning any
