(From n Staff Correspondent)
ITCASmNGTON, May 23.-Spectal Tel
' egrsjn.) At th conference of senate re
publican held today Senator Norris was,
Selected as one of a committee of five to
confer with house republicans as to the
roorgantratlon of the congressional com
Bilttee. Senator Norris attended1 the con
ference, but left before the committee
was named. The four others are Claris
of Wyoming, QaUlnsrer of New Hamp
shire, TownBcnd of Michigan and Jones
pf Waahlrutvon.
This committee was named because
i senators are now to be elected by direct
(vote, and aro approximately on the same
footlns, so far as political campalfros are
concerned, as members of the house. The
jreneral opinion Is that hereafter more
senators aro to bo named us members
of the committee, which Is to consist, as
usual, of one from each state.
Norris May Oppose Committee.
Senator Norris said he did not know
Just what the rest of the committee in
tended to suggest to the bouse repub
licans, as he had not conferred' with
them. He suggested the possibility, how
ever, of his opposing the reorganisation
of the committee because he thinks It
Serves no purpose.
"Wo have too many political commit
tees already," said Senator Norris when
he was told that be had been named.
"The congressional national committee
eeems to mo to-be a useless body. I am
certainly opposed to Its ..having anything
whatever to do with the raising of funds.
No man who has anything to do with
legislation should be permitted to serve
on any political committee which helps
to raise money. I favor the .bill recently
introduced by 'Senator Clapp, which
makes it unlawful for any member of
congress to belong to a money-raising
political committee I. have not deter
mined as yet what' suggestions I .shall
make when, the committee confers with
the house republicans."
Want Southern Tote Reduced.
Representative Klnkaid Is now con
'KTcsslonal committeeman for Nebraska.
Be is to present to the executive, commit
tee of the national .committee recom
mendations agreed to by himself and
Representatives Bloan and Barton that
the southern, representation at national
conventions be reduced and that dele
gates 'elected at 'primaries be recognized.
These recommendations accord wiUr a
part of Senator Norris' views, although
he was not present at the- conference.
J. H. Miles of Falls City Is In the city
with his wife. He has two daughters In
a private school here. Thoy expect to go
to Europe, for the summer, sailing a week
from tomorrow from New York, to be
.gone about three months.

DEGREES FOR MEDICAL MEN
University of Nebraska Students
Have Commencement.
DH, CRANE GIVES ADDRESS
Dwells at Lenirth on Need for Pure
rKood ana Shows Importance
of Mission of Phy
sician. '
Nine seniors of the University of Ne
braska Medical eohool in Omaha became
doctors of medicine last night when
Chancellor Samuel Avery of the Univers
ity presented them with diplomas at the
commencement exercises at the First
Methodist church. They. were;
Milton F. Arnholt Joseph W. Loughlln
SJlJlott C. Cobb "Ward H. Powell
Frances -B. Haines Olga F. Stostny
Walter F. Hammltt Alfred B. WeBtervelt.
Andrew Rurvey
Dr. Frank Crane, D. r.. of New York
City, delivered the commencement ad
dress on the subject, "The Physician of
the Future." t"The Physician of the fu
ture," he Bald, "must be an officer of
the s fate. Health is not a private mat
ter. The public welfare Is too serious a
thing to be thrown into the arena of
private competition. As a man has no
right to burn hjs own house and thus en
danger the houses of his neighbors, so no
man has a right to have a diseased -body
and endanger others who associate with
him."
Telia of Adulterations.
The speaker, started in here and gave
a lot "of loathsome information; In re
gard to bananas sold in New Yprk that
werertpened.', at the homo of a fruit
vander In tho bed of his lHtle girl who
had '.diphtheria; of "chocolate candy"
which on being analyzed was found to
be composed of absolutely no sugar and
absolutely no chocolate, but of glue and
coal tar dye; of white bread that had
lost most of the nutritious jind whole
some properties in the process of mill
ing; of so-calted fruit extracts sold at
the soda fountains which - have abso
lutely nothing io do with fruits, but are
mado of -acids and alcohol; and of many
other articles of food and drink that
are dally sold to the people.
He spoke of the clever advertising of
these products that deceive people so
that, as he said, "the mothers believe
these ads and feed this danaturized bread
to their babies so that annually 233,000
of these children under the age of 10
aro put where white bread and chalky
biscuits are no longer needed."
Profits Aro Great.
"The physician of tbe future will not
only be needed in the kitchen," he said,
"but ho will have' much work cut out
for him in the candy kitchen. Poisoning
Children- is a profitable business. Glue
and coal tar can be- purchased at it per
100 pounds, which when made up In an
Imitation of chocolate candy will be
worth from W to SG0 per 100 pounds.
"The physician will also have to go
after the Ice croam' man. He will have
to go Into the school room and Into the
great manufacturing establishments ana
many other places of business In order
to keep the children from being starved
and the adults from being poisoned."

M'MILLAN POLICY REJECTED
Presbyterian Assembly Disapproves
Action of Erection Board Offioial.
DR. JENKINS WRITES NEW tW
Iteport of Committee on Polity, of
Which Hi U Head, 1" Adopted
liy A"emtly Without
Amendment.
ATLANTA, On., May .-(Spcclal Tele-grnm.l-Beeretnry
Duncan MeMlllan of
the board of church erection of tho North
Presbyterian church, will not hold that
office longer nor will his policy with
reference to the Kennedy fund as re
lated to church erection be continued.
Uy a decisive vote the assembly today
rejected Dr. McMillan's recommendation
In hi annual report anil also declined
to accept his resignation accompanying
his report. Insisting that It shall be acted
on by the board. H is understood that
Dr. McMillan, who has served on two
of the church's boards, will be retained
4n some other position.
Half a million dollars of the Kennedy
legacy to tho church foil to the erection
bonrd. A year ago the assembly ordered
that the principal be made available
to tho churches etlgiblo to old under
this fund. Dr. McMillan he)d that only
the Interest should be so appropriated
and employed legal counsel to resist the
assembly's order. Ills action was strongjy
opposed throughout tho churches and it
soon becumo evident that the commis
sioners had come to Atlanta to deal
finally with the secretary and Ills ar
bitrary policy.
Important Controversy Kndcd.
Today's action, theroforo, .terminated
one of the Important controversies that
has been before the church for a year.
Dr. Daniel E. Jenkins, as chairman of
the committee on polity of the north
assembly, submitted his report today In
a thlrty-mlnute presentation and It was
adopted without a single revision, al
though debate arose otor one or two
sections. The committee, howover, was
sustained in both.
Dr. Jenkins was the recipient of many
congratulations upon the report, which
settled many serious questions. Former
Moderator Mathews expressed high ap
preciation of It. The report contains one
clause which Is likely to form a new
chapter In the constitution, of the church.
That is a clause defining the functions
pnd power of exeoutlvo commissions over
which there has been so much question.
Important as are these commissions their
limitations have never before been
.pan-Presbyterian pentecoat tomorrow.
Prospects were regarded tonight as
bright for the successful closing of the
Pan-Prcsbytcrlan. netjtecost tomorow.
A mass of unfinished business appeared
on tho "docket" of tho Northern assem
bly jtor disposition, but It was not be
lieved there would be any attempt to pro
long the sessions.
Beaslops of the Southern and United
assemblies were nded today as were
those pf tbe associate Reformed synod.
Ursanlo Union Keynote.
Organic union of all the groups of the
Presbyterian family was the keynote of
today's seslon of the United assembly.
Afternoon seslsons were devoted to greet

"The most Interesting country I visited
"while abroad, and a country that will un
doubtedly give to the world a large share
of its riches in future years Is the Bel

New York, an engineer employed by an
American construction company at
Washington. The Belgian Congo is
about 00,000 miles square In area and Is
populated by some 9,000,000 natives and
4,000 whites, only forty of whom are
Americans! Borne American capital Is In

are some few Americans who are helping
to develop the gold mines which were
