MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Juno 18.-ln
fifteen sectional meetings the second day
of the sixty-fourth annual convention of
tho American Medical association opened
today on the University of Minnesota
campus. Various subjects were dis
cussed, all of a technical nature.
That cancer of tho stomach Is a cur
able disease was the declaration of Dr.
William D. Mayo of Rochester, Minn.
"A favorable diagnosis can be estab
lished by simple methods," he asserted,
"a history of gastric disturbance pre
cedes cancer In a large number, lf not
the majority of' cases. Operations for
enncer of the stomach should begin ns
an exploration. Mbdernte Involment of
the pancreas does not' necessarily preclude'
operation, palliative operations, nave a
field of .'UieMlnttk" :" ' ' ' J. . t. .
Dr. Mayo' gave a review of statistics of
s(gns and' symptoms observed In 1,M
patients operated on for cancer of the
stomach.
Radium as a physical agency was dis
cussed In a paper by Dr. Howard A.
Kelly of Baltimore, Md. Its action, he
said, is local and Is destined to be a
potent aid ln the treatment of gyneco
logic conditions. He asserted that radium
will cure some cancers and will espe
cially eliminate many cases of local re
currence which are difficult to treat by
many of the customary surgical methods.
Its Importance ln the treatment of fib
roid tumors Is Just beginning to be. recog
nized. It checks hemorrhage, nnd in
some oases materially decreases the size
of the growths. In pelvic Inflammatory
disease Its use is very hopeful, but this,
he said, Is still a new field.
Lantern slides were used by J. A.
Stuckey of Lexington, Ky., to Illustrate a
paper on trachoma among the mountain
eers of eastern Kentucky. The Increase
of this disease In twenty-five years
among the Anglo-Saxons of these moun
tains led Dr. Stuckey to make a trip- of
observation through five counties on mule
back, lie described unmistakable evl
denra of the Infectiousness and destruc
tlveness of the disease. He gave the dele
gate! what he considered a solution of
the problem of eradicating the malady.
Trachoma among thu Indians was dis
cussed In a paper by Dr. J. W. Scheres
cheWBky of Washington, D. C. He as
serted that of 39,000 Indiana In the United
States, 17 per cent are suffering from
trachoma. The Incidence of th disease
vurles from 70 per cent of thns examined
In Oklahoma to 0.2 per rent ln New York
state. The disease was most prevalent
among Indians of the boarding schools
and least among reservation Indians.
Six thousand needless cases of blind
ness occur In the United States each year.
This statement was made by Henry Cop
ley Greene, agent for the conservation of
eyesight of the Massachusetts commis
sion for the blind.
This condition, Mr. Oreene said, was a
challenge to the medical profession and
called for the co-operation of occullats.
social workers and lawmakers. Much of
the needless blindness, he said, was duo
to lack of attention to sore eyes among
babies.
While Dr. C. D. Camp of Ann Arbor,
Mich., had noted no undue proportion of
cases of epilepsy and paresis among lo
comotive engineers and firemen, he sug
gested that It would be In the Interest of
the traveling public to examine candi
dates for these positions as to these afflictions.

Norris Proposes
to Ask Lovett to
Explain Charges
WASHINGTON, June 18.-Senator Nor
ris today, proposed a resolution to broaden
the powers of the lobby committee to
call Robert 8. Lovett of New York to
explain statements that Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific authorities had
been approached by personB professing to
have Influence In the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific dissolution proceedings.
Senator Norris declared that ' M".
Lovett's statement had to do with sen
ators and other public officials.
Chairmun Overman of the lobby com
mittee said his attention had already
been called to the Lovett statement and
he was considering calling Mr. Lovett
on his own responsibility. Should the
resolution be passed, ha said, the com
mittee must huvo Its time for reporting
extended beyond June 28.
After some discussion the Norris resolu
tion was adopted by unanimous consent.
NEW YORK, June 18. Judge Lovott
had no comment to make this afternoon
on the Norrfs resolution.
Askod whether he would reveal the
names of the men who approached him
If he were called to testify before tho
senate committee. Judge Lovett replied;
"I cannot say. I can never tell what I
will do as a witness."
He added that Tie had heard nothing
of the report that a circuit court decree
calling for the appointment of a re

Storage Butter Has,
Oily or Fishy Taste
WASHINGTON, June 18. If your but
ter at breakfast tastes "metallic" or
"oily" or 'fishy," It Is almost a certain
Indication that your grocer has unloaded
"storage" butter on you, according to the
bureau of animal Industry of the Agri
cultural department. Tho bureau today
gave out a report on Its experiments
designed to discover the causa
for these peculiar '"flavors" In certain
butters, and as a result It urges butttr
makers and dairy proprietors to beware
of the rusty milk can and the churn with
exposed metalllo parts.
The bureau experts discovered that con
tact with copper or Iron, and especially
copper, gave a flavor that was not only
disagreeable In biitter freshly made, but
Increased the - product's rancidity the
longer it was kept In storage. The In
vestigation was made because millions
of tons of butter are now being made for
tha purpose of putting the, commodity ln
