BUSINESS UNDER WAY

FIRST SESSIOS OF THE PLI1LIC HEAIni ASSOCIATION. Governor Mount Welcomes the Visitors nnil Deputy Hell A poloKlses for the SInyor. PAPERS OF IMPORTANCE READ VICWS OF PROMIXEXT SCIENTISTS OX TIMELY TOPICS. Reception at the German House in the Evenlne The Women Enter-' tnlncd The Day's Doings. When the twenty-eighth annual convention of the American Public Health Association was called to order at 10 o'clock yesterday morning ,the large body of delegates about 130 were surprised and delighted with the arrangements which had been made for their comfort and enjoyment by the directors of the German llouse. Tho spacious and handsome auditorium. In which the morning session was held, was profusely decorated with nags, palms, ferns and flowers, and these were the subject of admiring comments on all sides. These conventions have been held in larger cities than Indianapolis, but the delegates unite in the declaration that never before have they been greeted so heartily or entertained so royally as in Indiana's capital. The officials of the German House have vied with tho local entertalnnfent committees, of which Capt. W. H. Armstrong is president and Dr. John N. Hurty secretary, in making the most complete arrangements possible for the adequate reception and entertainment of such a distinguished body of visitors. The gentlemen mentioned have had the untiring services of a host of local men and women whose united efforts have brought forth such splendid results that the statement is amply Justified: "Indianapolis has done herself rroud in the matter of receiving the American Public Health Association." Each member of the entertainment committees, as well as each officer, has seemed tilled with a twofold purpose of causing the delegates to have a good time during their sojourn in the city and of adding new luster to the city's prestige as a generous hostes3. Captain Armstrong welcomed tho visitors in a brief but happy speech, in which he said: "Ladles and Gentlemen Your coming together in this way has for its purpose the proper consideration and dispatch of the business before you. I fully appreciate its importance and of your time and only desire to say a word for the committee representing our citizens in the work of preparing for your coming. "Its membership represents in equal numbers the medical society of this county and the Commercial Club, the two largest associations of their respective classes, augmented most pleasantly and efficiently by a committee of ladles who represent the woman'tt organizations of this city, and who especially desire, to greet and make pleasant the visit of your ladies who honor us with their presence. "The work of making ready for your coming so that you might transact the business betöre you in the most comfortable and satisfactory manner and have some interims of refreshment and recreation has been to all of us a labor of love, for we fully realize how noble the cause in which you are enlisted and honor you for the record made in It. "I am authorized to tender the compliments nnd best wishes of each individual member of our committee and place them at your service during your stay in our city. If you do not use them they may feel neglected. Wherever and whenever you see the wearer of a. blue ribbon committee badge fail not to give the wearer the i leasure of being of us o you. They will have failed In their des'r -f if you go away withcut feeling that we have made your visit pleasant. "We of the committee have had you in our minds a sufficient time to feel a sort of klnvhlp. and you thus havo a place hi our hearts on which you can draw without limit. "The whoje people of our city and State have been waiting for this time to welcome you. and their highest representatives in the persons of the chief executive ot the State and of the city are here to voice their welcome. I have the great honor of presenting Governor James A. Mount." THE GOVERNOR'S WELCOME. Following Captain Armstrong, Governor Mount extended a cordial greeting to the members of the , association on behalf of the State of Indiana. The Governor spoke as follows: "It affords me pleasure to greet and to welcome to Indiana the American Public Health Association. The warmth of the v.elcome to an association finds its inspiration in the good deeds of that body. Measured by such standard, this convention will find in the hearts of the people of this city and this commonwealth a most cordial welcome. No science has made greater progress than sanitary science; no profession greater achievements than tho medical profession; no field of investigation and study offers broader opportunities than that which prevents contagion, improves health conditions and heals the sick. Indiana has not been unmindful of these important conditions.- At the disposal of the executive, through and with the advice of the State Board of Health, &0.0V0 is provided as an epidemic fund. Laws restricting the practice of n.edicine. and providing who shall act ns pharmacists, have been enacted as safeguards to the lifo and health of tho people. Carlyle said: Thero Is no kind of achievement equal to perfect health. What to it are nuggets and millions?' Sir William Temple well said: 'Health is the oul that animates all the enjoyments of life, whtch fade and are tasteless, If not tkad. without it. Without health a man starves at the best and greatest tables, poor and wretched In the midst of the greatest treasure and fortunes.' "Reason's whole pleasure, all the joys of sense. Lie in these words, health, peace and competence. "Truly, 'All that a man hath will hgive for his life. "However much we may differ as to the paramount issue in the political arena, f-urely we are agreed that In the great c'rama of life, in all temporal affairs, health is of transcendent importance. "The growing population of our cities, the contamination cf our lakes and rivers through the waste and sewage of our cities and towns, will call forth tho wisest provisions of law to maintain good sanitary conditions. A multitude of questions involving hygienic problems aro dally coming to the front for solution. In these questions we are all deeply concerned. We rejoice in the work of the American Public Health Association. Your discussion of things vital to public health must result in better methods of combating and preventing infections or contagious diseases. We look upon your work with favor, and In full appreciation cordially greet you. Your souvenir badges will remind you that In the capital city of our great State stands a silent monitor, massive, grand and eloquent In its sll?nce. It speaks for our sleeping brave. The State that honors her patriot dead will always have heroes to fight the country's battles. "Coming, as you have, from all parts of the United States, of Canada and Mexico, to this beautiful inland city, you must have observed Its accessibility. Now that you are here, we hope you wili be charmed with its happy homes, its churches and schools, and, more than all. by the hospitality. Intelligence and kindly spirit of our people, litre in this city and in this State you will find a cosmopolitan spirit that will make you feel a one with our people. Tho deliberations of your convention will doubtless diffuse Information on the Important question of public health. I trust you will also carry with you many pleasant recollections of this State, its resources, its growth. Its possibilities. It will be pleasing, Indeed, to have you visit our schools, normals. colleKe and universities; our penal, reformatory und charitable Institutions; our

great Industries and our fertile farms. We

are proud of all these, but our boast Is not of wealth and products great, but men and women of high estate. The longer you sojourn in our midst and mingle with our people, the better will you understand why this city is a mecca to which Journey conventions, that they may feel the inspiring touch of warm-hearted cordiality and genuine progress. "Trusting God's blessing will be upon you and the loved ones from whom you arc absent, and that your convention will be harmonious and profitable, I now. In behalf of all our people, bid you a most cordial welcome." MADE AN APOLOGY. Deputy City Attorney Joseph E. Bell extended the hospitality of the city to the. delegates on behalf of Mayor Taggart, for whose absence he apologized. As announced in yesterday's Journal, the names of flfty-three new members were presented to the association and voted upon for admission. Those selected to membership from Indiana were: Dr. Frankln W. ,Hays, Mr. George Bryce, Dr. Edmund C. Clark, Miss Hester M. McClung and Dr. Rachel Swain, of Indianapolis; Dr. Earl Proegler, Fort Wayne; Dr. George F. Glover, Evansvllle; Dr. Hugh A. Cowing, Muncle; Dr. T. Henry Davis. Richmond, president Indiana State Board of Health; Dr. A. W. Bitting, Lafayette, chief veterinary department Purdue University, and Dr. Wm. J. Fairfield. Anderson. Dr. J. Brena, of Zacatecas, Mexico, read a very interesting and learned paper on the "Importance of Hygienic Principles." Ihe value of sanitation as applied to railroads was dicussed by Dr. Domingo Orvanavos, member of the Mexican Superior Board of Public Health. Owing to the inability of Dr. S. II. Woodbridge, of the School of Technology, of Boston, to be present, his report as chairman of the committee on car sanitation was read by Dr. J. N. Hurty. The report proved so valuable that by unanimous vote of the delegates It was ordered printed for general distribution among railroad officials. Dr. Hurty recommended the commencement of an agitation in favor of the use of white blankets instead of colored on sleeping cars, declaring that if white blankets were in use their dirty condition would be easily detected. Dr. Doty's paper on "New Quarantine Methods and Changes Which Are Called For In Marino Sanitation" was read by Dr. Horlbeck, of New York, In the author's absenc. Dr. Doty took very advanced ground cn the subject, his main contention being that there should be less fear of infection through cargoes, clothing and baggage and that more attention should be paid to the personnel of the ship's passengers and crew. The author of tho paper also said that there Is no reason why commercial Interests should not be considered along with the consideration of public health in quarantine matters. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session of the association J was held In the amphitheater of the German House, which was comfortably filled with delegates. A few women were present, and seemed to enjoy the reading of tho various papers. The first paper was the report of the committee selected by last year's convention to investigate the cause and prevention of infectious diseases, read by the chairman. Dr. A. Walter Suiter, of Herkimer, N. Y. Dr. Suiter declared that smallpox is on the increase, and cited copious statistics to prove his assertion. He added the pleasing assurance that the death rate from this plagua is decreasing. He said, however, that this latter fact must not be viewed too optimistically, because smallpox Is certain, If an epidemic of it continues long enough, to develop its greatest degree of virulence, He referred to the many names by whlcn this disease in its various stages is erroneously designated, and said that such names had often deceived whole communities in neglecting proper safeguards against an epidemic. Dr. Suiter proved the value of anltary precautions and vaccination by citing the fact that Porto Rico, since the United States has dominated its government, has got rid of smallpox, which before the war, was very prevalent in the island. The doctor also discussed scarlet fever, malaria and typhoid fever, and declared himself a believer in the theory that germs of malaria are transmitted by mosquitoes. In discussing typhoid fever. Dr. Suiter referred to Dr. Vaughan's declaration that more than SO per cent, of aeaths among American soldiers in th Spanish war were caused by typhoid fever, and emphasized the necessity of cleanliness about military camps.. Dr. Suiter touched also upon the dreaded bubonic plague, and gave the Interesting information that it made its first appearance on the western continent at a port on the coast of Brazil In October, 1S09. He said that he did not anticipate a scourge of the disease, but urged great sanitary precautions. The doctor asserted that the famed Asiatic cholera had met its Waterloo at th hands of science, and he believed other plagues would encounter a similar fate. A paper on "Smallpox in Davenport," submitted by Dr. Preston, of Davenport, la., was ordered submitted, without reading, to the committee on publication. EMINENT SURGEON'S PAPER. By special courtesy of the convention, manifested through unanimous vote, Dr. Walter Reed, an eminent surgeon of the United States army, was granted time in which to read a paper containing result3 of some investigations of infectious diseases in Cuba, made under the direction of Surgeon General Sternberg. Dr. Reed's paper proved so fascinating that when the twenty minutes' time limit expired an other vote was taken and resulted in an extension of tima being granted him a favor which is very rare in this august body. Dr. LIceaga was not able to attend the convention, and his papers, "Ninth Iceport on Yellow Fever in Mexico" and "The Jcnner Vaccine ell Preserved and Carefully Protected as a Permanent Pre servative Against Smallpox," were ordered referred to the committee on publication. Other papers read and discussed yesterday aiternoon were: Report of the committee on etiology of jellow fever, by Dr. Henry B. Horlbeck, chairman, who is health officer at Charleston. S. C. "The Influence of Temperature on Vaccine Virus," by Dr. P. W. Elgin, of Philadelphia. The Only Certain Prophylaxis against Smallpox is Human Vaccine, which, if Well Inoculated. Does jot Transmit Any In fectious-Contaglous Disease, or Leave any I'redicpositlon to Disease," by Dr. Salvador Garcladlego, of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mex ico.

The women who have accompanied their husbands or relatives to the convention of the American Public Health Association were treated to a delightful ride about In dianapolis and its environs yesterday after noon In carriages. This entertainment was arranged by the ladies committee, of which Mrs. Thomas C. Day is chairman. Teople who passed the German House between 2 and 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon were filled with curiosity to know the meaning of the lone line of carriages drawn un in front of the building and of the crowd of richly-dressed women thronging the steps and areaway. Once Inside the doors a listener to the animated conversation which was carried on among the bevies of women assembled about Mrs. Day and Dr. Hurty was not long left in the dark as to the object of the gathering. Dr. Hurty rendered valuable assistance to the chairman of the women's entertainment committee in the matter of assigning the visiting women to the different vehicles. This work occupied half an hour, but when it was completed a party of fifty or sixty very happy women rolled away In carriages, each bent upon having the best possible time. The vehicles were not required to observe any fixed line of march, but the occupants of each were at perfect liberty to go anywhere their fancy might lead them. The only restrictions placed upon the party were that they were expected to make a tour of Inspection of the Women s Kerormatory and later ren dezvous at the Country Club, where re treshments of a tempting kind were pro vided. .Mrs. Day announced that this en Joyable feature of the afternoon would be delayed until the tardy ones should arrive at the place of rendezvous.

IIARRISOX AND HARRIS Extend Welcome to Public Henlth Association Delegate. The public meeting of the Health Association in the auditorium of the German House last evening was a brilliant affair. On account of the announcement that the addresses of welcome were to be followed by a reception and dancing most of the men present were in evening dress and the women wore handsome evening gowns. The auditorium was brilliantly illuminated and the decorations, which were of natural palms and ferns, were very rich an.l beautiful. Music was furnished by Hart's orchestra. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Louis Brown, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, after which Dr. Bryce, president of the association. Introduced General Harrison, who welcomed the delegates on behalf of his fellow-citizens. Gen. Harrison spoke as follow: "Sometimes the local committee unduly interrupt your more profitable discussions to give an exhibition of what we call local talent, such as our friend here, the minister to Austria Laughter, or to make a display of historical fossils. (Renewed laughter. The welcome that I extend to you on this occasion is purely unofficial, but none the less hearty. I hope you have not found us 'sinners above all men' against the laws of health. Your inspection will probably be. cf the 'personally conducted variety where one sees only the attractive things. Dr. Hays, 1 am sure, would show discretion, but Dr. Hurty I fear will in the interests of cold science show you all that Is bad in tho city. But at least you will, I am sure, find us intelligently alive to sanitary science and to our own needs. We are a healthily busy people, but take a good deal of lime for thinking and have a good sized fraction to spare for suitable attentions to distinguished guests. You gentlemen are working on right lines disinterestedly and scientifically, though long life is not always a blessing to man. Sensitive souls and stomachs have squirmed a little at the disclosures made by your Investigations. We have been afraid of large things of Indians, grizzly bears, mad dogs and other things which we could either shut out or shoot, but you have disclosed to us that our Internal organs are all the happy hunting grounds of invisible but latal microbes, and that the war between good and evil Is as truly being fought In the liver as in the conscience. We give you Jionor. "We d not' 'doubt that there are some here fo-night who make a purtsult of this science that shall astonish the world. In all such achievements the citizens of Indianapolis rejoice. We ate not as bustling as New York and we have time, most of us, to stop and think, and we have a heart and mind to enjoy and commend every great work." Dr. Bryce presented the next speaker. A. C. Harris, United States minister to Austria, who made one of his characteristically happj' addresses. At the outset Mr. Harris disclaimed being at the meeting in his official capacity, saying: "I am not here to-night as the representative of aught else than the good wishes of all th good peaple of the city of Indianapolis, and certainly when one.Koes abroad, as sonio of us do sometimes Indeed. I think nearly all the people of Indianapolis were abroad this year I met most of them on tht other side when one does go abroad and May awhile and then comes home he feel. like he is coming home and like he would like to havo everybody else visit him in tho city, and In that spirit I am sure . I voice the feeling of every citizen of this city to-night when I say this city and cacn and all extend a hearty welcome to all these good people. who have com here to hold their meetings within our city." Mr. Harris then launched into a brief discussion of the progress of sanitary science and praised the work of the association. In conclusion he said: "You are not citizens of one country or of another, although these flags here show you are closg together citizens of two countries speaking one tongue but in science, in this higher level of medical science, there is but one world and thdt is an empire and lit it all men in all professions shall devote themselves to the higher and better thought as you have. I bid you welcome, I bid you God speed and I glory in your success." Before President Bryce read his annual address he said that he desired to present to the audience Dr. Chlco, of Guanajuato, Mexico. Dr. Chico Is a remarkably line looking man, tall and of impressive appearance. His English was so broken that much of his speech was not intelligible to the audience. Ho extended a greeting on behalf of his native country to the two sister nations, the Dominion of Canada and tho United States. In his address the speaker gave to the world the assurance that the Mexicans will light no more battles except in the cause of civilization. Dr. Chlco closed his address In tho unique Mexican fashion, which curiously enough resembles that of the Ama Zulu people, of which so much is read in African romances, by the words, "I have spoken." The annual address of President Bryce was a very voluminous document. IIa sketched in detail the progress of sanitary science from its birth In the period of the Rennalssance down to the present time, and declared that scientific workers ought to take courage from what they have seen accomplished in this century, even though it is "but a stone in the edifice." The address will be printed Jn full In the proceedings of the association. At the conclusion of the speeches the auditorium was cleared for dancing, which continued until a late hour. A TRIP TO liltEEXWOOn, The Delegates Wrlll To-Day Inspect the Polk Dairy. To-day's entertainment of the learned doctors, professors of sanitary science and women who are attending the convention of the American Public Health Association will consist of a trip to Greenwood by electric interurban trolley cars and a tour of inspection of Polk's sanitary dairy.

TO COLORED VOTERS

ItFPRESEXTATIVE OVCRSTREET ADDRESSES FOIII MUKTlXCiS. He Teil of the Commercial and Industrial Conditions Thnt Exist To-Day. SPEECHES WELL RECEIVED COLORED VOTERS ARE TAKING AX INTEREST IX THE CAMPAIGN. Attorney General Taylor, Jndjte Lewis C. "Walker nnd Ison Crew Also Speak Representative Jesse Overstreet spent last night talking to the colored voters of the city, and was well received everywhere he went. He addressed four meetings where the audiences were chiefly composed of colored men and women. He confined his remarks chiefly to the commercial and industrial conditions that exist to-day, comparing them to the conditions that existed prior to tho election of William McKinley. At. each meeting Mr. Overstreet made a different 3peech, but in each instance he made it plain to his hearers that It Is the thing to "let well enough alone." From the applause that greeted these sentiments it was evident that his audiences agreed with him. Mr. Overstreet's first meeting was early in the evening at Sagalowsky's Hall, corner of Merrill street and Capitol avenue. This was rather in the nature of a precinct meeting. The next meeting was at North Senate avenue at the clubhouse of the Third Ward Colored Republican Club. The meeting was held In the yard, which was lighted by a big bonfire. Judge Lewis C. Walker was just closing a rousing talk when Mr. Overstreet arrived. After addressing the crowd there Mr. Overstreet proceeded to Wilson's Chapel, at Rhode Island and Locke streets, where a good-sized crowd had gathered. While waiting for Representative Overstreet the crowd was entertained by Attorney General Taylor, who made a stirring speech and wound up by making an eloquent appeal to voters to stand by the 65,0w) boys in blue who are fighting for the flag In the Philippine islands. Mr. Overstreet's next meeting w .'. at the Iron League, on Indiana avenue. There was a big crowd there, and it was an enthusiastic one. POINTS ILLUSTRATED. At tho different meetings Mr. Overstreet told a number of anecdotes that were re ceived with great delight by the audiences and very aptly Illustrated the points the speaker desired to make. At tho Senateavenue meeting Mr. Overstreet began speaking Just after Judge Walker closed, with these words: "On the Cth of NovemIxr William McKinley will be re-elected President as sure as God reigns and tho government lives." One of the chief points made by Mr. Overstreet during his speech before the Third Ward Club was that "a. man is known by the company he keeps." The speaker then referred to Brj pn's associations with such rmn as Tillman and Altgeld. Senator Tillman, the speaker said, read the Declaration of In dependence at the Kansas City conven tion. Mr. Overstreet suggested that "you might as well call on Satan to lead the psalms." In one of hi speeches, Mr. Overstreet, in referring to the prosperity that the rresent administration has brought about. asserted that "no other man has don3 more for tho American workshop and farm than President McKinley." An enthusiastic man at one of the meetings declared that if he had a thousand votes they would all be for the Republican candidates. Mr, Overstreet made plain his position on the Philippine question at his Senate-avenue meeting. He admitted that tho people of this country should feel a great deal of sympathy for the benighted Filipinos, but we must look after our own affairs first. Wo must see that our own houses oro warm and our children are fed before we begin trying to aid people on the other side of the world. Then, If the Filipinos will behave themselves long enough to give the government a chance to determine what is best to do, they will be taken care of. Mr. Overstreet expressed the opinion that the Republican party Is competent to take care of the Philippine question if per mitted to do so. It has grappled with great questions before and has settled them. HAS KEPT PROMISES. At all of his meetings Mr. Overstreet places special emphasis on the fact that the Republican party has kept ihe promises It made In 1S0G. "If we were right in 1S06," he said, "who is it that will deny that we are right now? .We don't claim to make It possible for every man to get rich, but we do claim that we can give men an opportunity of working out their own destinies We had better bo suspicious of the man that says he will send us all to the sea shore, as Mr. Bryan has said he would like to do. He can't deliver the goods." Mr. Overstreet suggested that Bryan could not quote Lincoln and nt the same time associate himself with Senator Tillman. He said it might be all right to elect Bryan out of idle curiosity. Just to see what he would do, but the speaker feared to take the chances. I never like for a fellow to practico on me," he said, and the crowd laughed. When Mr. Overst,reet faced the big .crowd at the iron League and noticed the enthusiasm tlyt seemed to prevail he said it seemed more line a ratification meeting than anything else. He told his hearers that in his opinion there never was a better time to be a Republican than at present. He thought if the Republicans havo done the square thing in the right way the party is a good one to stand by. He also called attention to the fact that Representative Underwood, of Alabama. sought to have the thirteenth amendment the one that gives the colored man the light to vote repealed. One of the speakers who preceded Mr Overstreet at the Iron League was Nelson Crews, an eloiuent colored orator. Mr. Crews also spoke at the other meetings To-night Mr. Overstreet and C. S. Wiltsle will sicak at lrvlngton. Returns from Chattuuooga. Frank S. Clark has returned home from his Southern trip. He attended the reunion of the Spanish-American War Veterans at Chattanooga, Tenn., and was unanimously elected commissary general. Mr. ClarK was asked yesterday about the proposed consolidation of the Spanish-American War Veterans' Association and the Spanish War Veterans' Association, and he said there was considerable talk on the subject at the reunion in Chattanooga and he bohe.ved the two organizations would be made one before long.
