ESTABLISHED 1873 PHYSICIANS OF STATE GATHER IN CONVENTION Medical Society’s Interest in Public Health Is Praised By Governor DR. SMYTH RESPONDS Bismarck Physician Declares “Defense Test” of Gov- ernment Good Measure Members of the North Dakota State Medical Association, which op- ened its 87th annual convention here to continue for two days, were welcomed to the capital city this morning by Governor R, A. Nestos. More than 50 had registered at the Masonic Temple, where the sessions are held, when the association was *. enlled to order. The convention con- tinues through Thursday. Of greater importance, even, than the physician's contribution to so- ciety through mastery of medicine and surgery, Governor Nestos said, “is the fact that the medical pro- fession is taking an increased in- terest in questions of public health and promoting better sanitation and more wholesome living conditions in the communities; in preventing was well as curing the ills that flesh is heir to.” “When we consider the monetary value of sickness prevented and of strength and endurance increased by the recent developments in preven- tive medicine, and in the production ‘of sanitation and public health, the appreciation of the services of the medical profession must increase,” the Governor continued. “When we consider what this will’ Ynean in the physical, mental and moral de- velopment and in the improvement of the future citizen, I am sure that all thoughtful men will rejoice that you are practicing among us.” Praises Defense Test Dr. F. R. Smyth of Bismarck, r sponding to the welcome, took fling at opponents of “Defense Day “The governor is to be congratula- ted on the stand he has taken in encouraging a proper marshalling and review of the agencies, in case of war,” said Dr. Smyth. “This is not provocative, but preventive. The necessity of preparation and organi- zation appeals to the medical as to no other profession, from knowledge gained by experience. During the world war, notwithstanding the ter- rible methods of destruction and the ravages of disease, the men from our own state were safer from dis- case and death in military service than they would have been at home.” Dr. James Grassick of Grand Forks, a pioneer physician of the state, in delivering the President's dress, paid a tribute to the old mily doctor who, he said, is pass- \ing out of modern life. He told the physicians they have a ptblic duty in educating people to an apprecia- tion of medical science. The program for the mecting is largely technical, including papers ey many eminent physicians and surgeons, followed by discussion. Among those present are: Dr. Theo- dore Bratrud of ‘Warren, Minnesot: Dr. Walter R. Ramsey of St. Pau Dr. W. A, Jones of Minneapolis; Dr. F. E, Clough of Lead, South Dakota, and Dr. E. Starr Judd of Rochester, Minnesota. The association’s banquet will be THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE NATHAN F. PASSING OF ‘OLD FAMILY DOCTOR’ CHANGES IN MEDICAL LIFE WROUGHT BY CHANGING WORLD, TOLD PHYSICIANS| Dr. James Grassick of Grand Forks, President of Medi- cal Association, Reviews Colorful Physician — Tells Medical Men They Have Important Duties Ahead of Them The “passing of the old famit doctor,” his service to the commun- ity and his adventurous life, was re- viewed by Dr. James Grassick of Grand Forks, president of the North Dakota State Medical Association, i the president’s address at the open- ing of the 37th annual state conven- tion of the association here today. “The old family doctor is a char- acter dear to literature, for his life exemplifies so well the practical ap- plication in this word-a-day world of the homely virtues—sympathetic interest in the welfare of others, steadfast devetion to duty, unselfish service in the cause of human bet- terment—that it appeals to the finest instincts of the race,” said Dr. Grassick. The family doctor, Dr. Grassick said, was “a product of the age in which he lived and did his day's work. Evolution of Society “To understand his passing is to be familiar with the progress of human events, and the evolution of society,” he continued. “To sigh for his return is as futile as to long for the good old days of our fathers. He would be as much a misfit in “TN MINNESOTA Candidate for Vice-President To Make Three Speeches Chicago, 10.—Charles G. Dawes, Republican vice presidential nominee, will concentrate his speak- ing campaign for the next three weeks in the northwest under a de- cision reached ut a conference be- tween Mr. Dawes and a party cam- paign manager here. The Milwaukee address to be de- livered Thursday night by Mr. Dawes will be followed by # speech a week gater at Sioux Falls, S, D., and by speech the following week in St. Paul, and Minneapolis and at some city in southern Minnesota. Definite dates were not determined. WYNDMERE MAN DIES AS CAR IS DITCHED Wahpeton, N. D., Sept. 10.—Louis *“Jones of Wynjlmere, N. D., 20 miles from here, was killed this evening when his car went into the ditch and rolled ovér on the road about two miles west of here. Two children riding with him were unhurt but Jones’ neck was broki No one witnessed the accident and the children were unable to tell ex- actly how it occurred, Jones was a cream buyer at Wynd- mere and has a son in the garage business there. He is survived by ‘his wife and several children. The body is inio the: ;undertaking parlors here. , this day and generation as a mod- ernist would have been in his. True, he may still be found in some isola- ted communities, but even there he is in a transition stage and bears little resemblance to his venerable prototype of a preceding pge. “There are two great forces operation in the evolution of the family physician, one acting from within and the other from without. The former found him alive to everything in his limited environ- _|ment, but out of touch with things beyond. The spirit of man, however, be it a physician, prince, or peas- ant, has ever rebelled at bondage; and one day—it may have been at a meeting of our state association— he had a vision of the possibilities | outside of his narrow circle, He felt the latent Powers within Him throb for expression and ere he knew it he had broken through and shoul- dered himself out into a world so large as to be bounded only by the limitations of his own finite mind. Once free, after drinking at the re- freshing, life-giving spfings of the newer knowledge and sipping hon- eyed sweets from the petals of scientific investigation, he found the doors of opportunity of a larger ser- vice standing widely ajar, as/if to welcome him within. On ‘entering this ‘new freedom’ it is little to be wondered, that at times, carried away by zeal or influenced by error, he was found chasing some ‘will o' the wisp’ of doubtful therapeutic efficacy. It was always thus in every great forward movement.” An adjustment of new relations between the physician and his pa tients caused something vital to his old clientele to be dropped, Dr. Grassick said. The family doctor was not only physician, but prophet, priest and king on matters pertain- ing to the patient’s spiritual, social and economic welfare. He has been succeeded by the specialist.

The verdict was received by wire by The Tribune before 9:30 o'clock Bismarck time, it being prondunced at 9:39 o'clock, day- light saving time, in Chicago. The telephone rang almost in- cessantly for an hour after 9:30. Vhat did they get?” was the question and all that was need- ed.

WAR LORDS IN NEW FIGHT FOR SHANGHAI CITY Secession of Deluge Is Signal For Resumption of Firing Along the Line Shanghai, China, Sept. 10.—(By the A. P.)—Secession of the deluge which halted fighting along the fronts south and west of Shanghai was the signal for resumption of fir- ing along the whole line this morn- ing between the forces of rival mil- itary governors battling for posses- sion of Shanghai. Reports from the Lunghwa head- quarters of the contending forces this morning said that additional ad- vances were made by forces in the Thing sector west of Taihu lake, 90| miles west of Shanghai.

While the family was searching frantically for the boy, a telephone message informed Mrs. Franks that Robert had been kidnaped, that he was safe, and that the family would be advised further as to how to re- cover him. Early the next morning Mr. Franks received a neatly typed special delivery letter bearing the signature “George Johnson” with the dictation marks “G. K. R.” informing him that Robert was held for $10,000 ransom, that the lad was safe, and to stand by for further instructions as to how to pay the ransom and re- cover the boy. At dawn the next morning a | workman traversing the Pennsylvan- ia railroad tracks at 118th Street, a wild, uninhabited section just inside the southern corporate limits of Chi- cago, saw the feet of a nude body protruding from a culvert between two small lakes. The body was taken to an undertaker's establishment jwhere it rested unidentified until late in the afternoon, when a brother of Mr. Franks went to the morgue on a chance that the body might be that of Robert.

Manhunt Begins Then began one of the greatest manhunts in the history of Chicago, because of the evident brutality of the murderers and the prominence of the Franks family. More than a score of persons, including two in- structors at the Harvard school, were arrested, but released when they were able to disprove connection with the kidnaping and murder. Columns of newspaper space were devoted to the case but the head- lines were dimi ing in size as hope of apprehending the murderers dwindled when unexpectedly Rebert E. Crowe, state's attorney, announced on May 29 that Richard Loeb, son of Albert H. Loeb, 5017 Ellis Avenue, vice-president of Sears Roebuck & Co., and Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., son of a wealthy paper box manufacturer and shipping man, 4754 Greenwood Avenue, had confessed to the kidnap- ing and murder. It developed that all clues with the single exception of the spectacles found near the body had been ex- hausted. By tracing thousands of prescriptions for spectacles, the Nathan F.
