About one hundred physicians met in the hall of the Georgetown Law School on E street, in response to a call sent out by the secretary of the Medical Association of the District for a meeting of that body to con- sider, as stated, “the present telephone abuses and the rules of the District Com- missioners regarding lights on moving ve- hicies.” After the meeting convened the point was made by several members that the association as such ought not to take part in the telephone controversy. On motion of Dr. H. L: E. Johnson, the as- sociation then adjourned and those present Proceeded as a body of individuals to con- sider the telephone question. A resolution was offered by Dr. Johnson similar to that which was approved by the citizens’ committee on Wednesday night. which was unanimously adopted. The res: olution disapproves of the methods a rates of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company, approves of the amend- ment to the District appropriation _ bill regulating telephones and requesting Con- gress to promptly give citizens who use the telephone the relief they desire. A resolution offered by Dr. H. P. T. Thompson was unanimously adopted and was to the effect that those physicians hav- ing telephones should take them out at the expiration of the preseni contracts, unless the telephone company should give some satisfactory plan of charges and unlimited service within thirty days. A committee consisting of Dr. Cook, Dr. H. L. E. John- son and H. P. T. Thompson was appointed to confer with Mr. Bryan of the telephone company, and also to confer with the citi- zens’ committee and the Association of Druggists, with a view to concerted action. It was stated that what the physicians wanted the telephone company to do was to furnish telephones at $50 a year, single wire, unlimited service and the right of subscribers to call their own offices on any other telepkene in the District with- out additional charge. A committee was appointed, consisting of Drs. Leech. Ruffin and Holden, to con- fer with the District Commissioners in regard to the regulation which requires physicians, in common with other people, to display lights on moving vehicles. Some of the doctors present protested against such a regulation. ee ATTACKS THE ADMINISTRATION. Senator Butler About ft A dispatch from Minneapolis, Minn., yes- terday says: The populist convention here has ended in a victory for the fusion forces. The state convention was set for June 15. and the middle of the roaders, who wanted an April convention, found themselves so much in the minority that they made no struggle. Senator Butler, in a speech at a conven- tion mass meeting, attacked the adminis- tration. Some one called out: “How about the Maine?” “I don't know how about it,” said the senator, “but if we had a truly American administration I know that we would know about it soon.” Anxious for Facts i ee (nee Thorn) Funeral from northwest, LYNCH, On Thersday, Febreary 17, 1898, at ber residenc 9 ant avenue northwest, MARY widow of Jobu Lynch, native of County Kerry thirty-eighth late residence, 472 nday, Febraary 20, at ‘s Charel high mrss of requiem will be sald for the as pose of her soul.
