Medical Men and Others.
In protest against prevalent medical
regulations concerning compulsory
vaccination in all the large -cities of
the United States, Mrs. Lora C. Lit
tle, representing the Medical Freedom
Educational committee, conducted a
meeting in the assembly room of the
City National bank building last night,
which was attended by many medical
men and opponents of vaccination.
Mrs. Little voiced strong opinions
of the evils and ill effects of compul
sory vaccination and based her argu
ments upon an investigation of thou
sands of vaccine cases which resulted
in death. Her only child died 22
years ago from the ill effects of vacci
nation, and since then she has trav-
, eled extensively, denouncing com
pulsory medical treatment by city and
state health boards. During the course
of her remarks last night she said:
Much Vaccine Infected.
'"I am speaking against the crime of
compulsory vaccination for the sake
of humanity and for the safety of hu
man lives, many of whom have suf
fered from the effects of vaccination.

Chinese President
Mourns Loss of His
Brilliant Wife
(By AMvrlfttMi rrrtm.t
Peking,' Oct. 22. President Feng
Kwo-Chang was almost completely
prostrated by the recent death of his
wife. For two weeks he denied him
self to all callers. He refused to have
elaborate funeral ceremonies which
would in any way savor of the mon
archy. ,
Madame Feng's body still lies in
state in the palace and it probably
will be some weeks befcre burial, as
floods in Chihli province have made it
impossible to prepare a grave for her.
' Madame Feng played an important
part in politics of China for the last
five years. When Yuan Shi Kai be
came president he engaged her as tu
tor for his daughter.. She was Miss
Chow, principal of the Girls' Normal
school at Tien Tsin and was famous
as a lecturer and advanced thinker
and had acquired western ideas to
a marked degree. Yuan Shi Kai fre
quently consulted her on affairs of
state and she became a very impor
tant member of the president's house
hold. .
When Yuan Shi Kai designated
General Feng Kwo-Cheng to take the
post of military governor of Nan
king he introduced the genera! to
Miss Chow aiid suggested that she
would make him a very desirable wife.
A few months later they were mar
rjed. Yuan Shi Kai gave the bride as a
wedding present a beautiful sable
coat which had been presented to him
by an important Lama official. The
coat had a long history and many
Chinese believe that it carried bad .
luck and was responsible for Madame
Feng's death.
Madame Feng came of a family of
prominent officials in Kiangsu prov
ince. She was only 37 yearj old. The
president was more than twenty yearj
her senior.
