I‘VIRGINIA‘ POLTICS ATBOILING POINT | With Primary Date at Hand Headquarters of Candidates Are Scenes of Activity. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., July 30.—Politics has reached the boiling point, and the short and ugly word has been em- ployed by Harry St. George Tucker in reply to a report frum the executive board of the state Federation of La- bor. That organization is said to have indorsed and is supporting the candi- dacy of Senator Trinkle for the guber- natorfal nomination. The circular in question deals with the matter of votes of Mr. Tucker when he was a member of Congress. The charge is that Mr. Tucker failed to support a measure dealing with a safety device for use on the rallroads. Mr. Tucker hotly replies to the allegation, saying that it is incorrect, and that the springing of this at the last hour of the campaign is intended to injure him before the people. The Federa- tion of Labor is said to have taken action in the matter of supporting Senator Trinkle after carefully con- sidering the matter. The primary date Is just two days removed, and there has been no such rush and hurry seen in the last twen- ty-five years as Is witnessed around the headquarters of Senator Trinkle, Mr. Tucker, Senator West, Senator Gunn, Mr. Gilpin and others. = The only man who has opposition who ap- pears to be certain of the outcome, and who Is attending to business in- stead of campaigning, is Berkley D. Adams, the state's corporation com- missioner, who is being opposed by E. C. Folkes of this city, former mem- ber of the legislature. Mr. Adums de- clares that he has received assur- ances enough from persons in all li parts of the state to warrant the be- ITiet that he will recetve 40,000 ma- jority. He is a farmer from Charlotte county and is serving his first term. Three Tickets in November. There are to be three tickets be- fore the people of Virginia at the November election.

Accomack and Northampton counties, long known as two of the greatest po- tato counties of the state, have this year pshipped 8,600 cars of potatoes, and the shipments are still under way. The railroad shipments are not the entire production of the two counties, thou- 'sands of barrels going to the Baltimore and Washington markets by vessels. The value of the crop shipped by the trains is placed at $5,500,000, or about one-third the value of the crop of last year. The prices are still low, but in the last few weeks there has been an advance. The second crop is coming along very well,and the fall shipments, which will be largely for winter use and for sced, will add many thousands Ideal Manufacturing Co., Inc. 210 Tenth St. N.W.

And the applica- tions are still coming in from every di- rection. There are democrats who are still_holding on, being appointed from month to month, and while they are at work and drawing the pay the seekers are cooling their heels in the corridors of the federal building or sitting in the Capitol Square waiting to be summoned to report for duty.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July 30.—Passage of a resolution by the trustees of the is scoutmaster, and Thomas Hyde and | Johns Hopkins Hospital, limiting the Leonard Hoyle are his assistants. The | fees which physicians and surgeons may charge patients to $1,000 for an operation and $35 weekly for hospital visits, has caused considerable discus- E. Kagey, rector of the church, | sion among the medical fraternity of thig city. Although the resolution was passed by the trustees on the recommenda- tion of the medical board, the coup is said to have caused much antagonism. The attempt to fix the fees which may be charged patients in the in- stitution is regarded by the profession as the significant element in the an- Closed Al Day Saturday During July iheld in THE NATIONAL FURNITURE CO. FREE Lowest Cash Prices- nouncement. It is the first effort of its kind in this country, and probably in the world. In taking control of the fees which .may be charged its pa- tients, it is said, the Hopkins is bla: ing a new trail in hospital admin trations, as the Hopkins' Medical School blazed a new trail when it adopted the full-ttrme professorship idea, which other medical schools are now adopting. Physicians and surgeons are Inter- ested to. learn what the attitude of large hospitals throughout the coun- try will be toward this latest action. Dr. Fisher's Views. am A. Fisher, jr., who is h esteem both as a sur- geon and as a man by the physicians and surgeons of this city, said: “I think this action is related to the full-time professorship idea and to generally high ideals for the pro- fession, which the Hopkins is seeking. “I do not believe,” he said, “that many operations are performed in Baltimore for which more than $1,000 Is charged, but it may be a mistake to fix the limit at $1,000, for sometimes a surgeon from out of town may be called to this city to operate, and the travel and consequent loss of time from his regular practice may involve a 1085 even when he recelves a fee of $1,000. “And, although I am not a physi- clan and you would have to ask a physician ‘about that, it seems that fixing $35 a_week as the maximum which may be charged for medical attention received while in the hos- Dr..

Terma pital may be a mistake. A physician may have a patient suffering with a disease that requires the physician to deyote the greater part of his time to him. Thirty-five dollars a week seems a small sum under such cir- cumstances.” “I do mot belfeve,” said Dr. Thomas R. Boggs, “that the ruling will have a very great effect in Baltimore, al- though I believe that the Hopkins is the figst to attempt to fix the fees which” may be charged its patients. I know that it is altogether satisfac- tory to me. I am not a surgeon, but I do not believe that many opera- tions are performed in Baltimore for which a larger sum than $1,000 is charged.’ Position Taken by Board. Judge Henry D. Harlan, president of the boarg of trustees of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, made the follow- ing statement: “The Johns Hopkins Hospital has not sald finally and without qualifi- cation that a patient may never, under any circumstances, be charged more than $35 a week for medical attention, nor more than $1.000 for an operation. But it has sald that when more than these sums is charged the hospital authorities must be informed of the circumstances and must approve the charge. “The trustees adopted those recom- mendations after consultation with the medical board of the hospital.”. Judge Harlan continued, “because it was known that some very large fees had been charged. The medical 42-Plece Set of Dec- and room-size Rug. the entire Suite Strong. leather seat. 203 board and the board of trustees felt that some limit should be fixed. But they do not fail to recognize that there are some cases in which larger fees for either surgical or medical services are justifiable. When such larger fees are charged, however, the :nguplul authorities must approve em.” —_— SCHOOL HEAD RETIRES. J. G. Dunsmore Head of Business College Forty-Nine Years. Special Dispatch to The Star.
