CALIFORNIA TO HAVE A NEW MEDICAL SOCIETY California is to have a new medical sc clety. s was definitely decided last night at a meeting of a committee ap- pointed for the purpose of considering the sability of such action in the offic of Dr. D. A. Hodgehead. The members of the committee are Drs, C. Buckle W. F. MoNutt, S. F. Long, C. H. Rosen- thal, J. A. Miller, Winslow Anderson and D. A. Hodgehead of San Francisco and | E Henderson of Napa and W. King of Ukiah, Mendocino County. All were present af the meeting with the exception of Dr. McNutt, who is traveling in Eu- rope. Dr. Buckley presided and it was the sense of the committee that a new soclety should at once be formed, to be incorpor- ated as soon as practicable, the name of the society to be the California Medical Association. It was also decidede that the new society should conform to the code of ethics of the American Medical Soci- ety and instead of issuing an annual vol- ume to issue a monthly publication, the subscription to which, together with the membership fee in the association to not exceed $3 a year. It is proposed to hold the first annual meeting in October next and to meet in that month each succeed- ing vear. The committee will sions i the matter to the San Francisco Clinical Soclety, which is the instigator of the movement, to-night and it is ex- | pected that the necessary steps to carry through the plan will be at once taken. The movement to organize a new State society of medicos Is the result of a fac- tional quarrel in the ranks of the exist- ing organization, which has caused many members to withdraw. —————————— MORGUE STATISTICS.

TIM FRAWLEY'S BRIDE D.OWN EAST ACTRESS DENIES THE SOFT IM- PEACHMENT. Manager Attributes It All to Corson Clarke’s Dyspepsia, Which He Fears Has Affected His Mind. There is no legal reason why Blanche Bates should tack on the name of Fraw- ley to her signature. She says she is not Mrs. Frawley, Fraw- vs she Is not Mrs. Frawley, and as they are the two people who are in the best position to know their statements should be accepted as final. Our Blanche took the report of her marriage to her manager in her own charming, sunny way. If she was annoyed she did not show it, only laughed and exclaimed, “Ridiculous; absurd!" Frawley. on the contrary, was vexed at the silly report; not on his own account, but because of Miss Bates. “It's annoying for a woman,” said the gallant manager, “to have a lying report of that kind circulated about her. Corson Clarke's aggravated stomach trouble has probably gone to his head. That is the only way I can account for it.”” Miss Bates explains the slander by Clarke’s desire to get his name before the public. “There is nothing he could v of himself, so he stood sponsor for about otk said Miss Bates. So the story of the manager wedding his star is not true, nor is there any possi- bility of it ever being true, for the man- ager declared: “I shall never marry. I'm too much of a crank to make any woman happy. And 1 respect woman too highly b link her fate with mine.”” |SUITS WILL FOLLOW THE NEWMAN WRECK Teachers Employ Lawyers and Will Ask for Heavy Dam- ages. LOS ANGELES, July 18.—H. E.
