(Special to The Times.)
Charlotte, N. C, Sep. 5 The most
sensationally formulated movement
that lias ever been taken up in pro
fessional circles is that which has
been begun by the Forsyth County
Medical Association and ' others
against the North Carolina Medical
Colleee. situated in Charlotte. .
To indicate the seriousness of the
assault upon this well known instl
tution the following resolution, pass
ed by the Forsyth County Association
is significant:
Resolved. That, we petition our
state legislature,'' through the .com
mittee on legislation of the 'North
Carolina Medical Society, to revoke
that clause in the charter of the
North Carolina Medical College
which nermtis the granting of di
ploroas; that the secretary (of the
Forsyth Association) rorwara a copy
nf these resolutions to each county
medical association in North Caro
lina, requesting speedy consideration,
to the end that concerted action may
vindicate the honor and integrity of
the medical profession and abate this
menace to the health and lives of the
people of our state.
Carnegie Foundation Investigation.
It appears that this startling move
against an old and well established
institution, formerly operated as a
medical college In connection with
Davidson College, twenty miles north
of Charlotte, began with a very plain
and pointed criticism of the institu
tion by a representative of the Car
negie Foundation, who made a tour
of this section, visiting all of the
medical schools hereabout. It also
appears that other publications have
handled the subject and have added
force to these criticisms, so that to
day there is quite a mass of accumu
lated criticism against the North
Carolina Medical College.
From "Medical Education" a re
port submitted to the Carnegie Foun
dation by Abraham Flexner, bulletin
No. 4, the following appears, showing
the severity of the attack that Is be
ing made on the Charlotte Institu
tion:. "Income was simply divided among
the lecturers, who reaped a rich har
vest besides the consultations which
the loyalty of former students threw
Into their hands. "Chairs' were
therefore valuable pieces of property
their prices varying with what was
termed their 'reflex" value. Only re
cently a professor in a now defunct
Louisville school who had agreed to
pay 3,000 for the combined chair of
physiology and gynaecology, objected
strenuously to a division of the pro
fessorship physiology, assigned him
on the grounds of 'Failure or consid
eration"; for the 'reflex' which con
stituted the Inducement to purchase,
went obviously with the other sub
ject." ' : '
It Is assumed that the report to
the Carnegie Foundation, part of
which is quoted above, was the
"ralsou d'etre" which moved the
Forsyth County Medical Association
to adopt the resolutions partly quot
ed in the beginning, or in other per
iodicals, so that , the matter was
brought strongly to the attention not
only of Charlotte physicians and
those interested In the North Caro
lina Medical College, but to the med
ical profession of the entire' state. '

quarters of the Forsyth County Medi
cal Association, and signed by the

(Special to The Times.)
Durham, Sept. 5 A contract has
been awarded to N. Underwood by
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com
pany for the erection of a new frame
addition to their plant here which will
practically double its capacity. As
the factory now stands it has a ca
pacity of 12,500 tons of fertilizers
annually, all of which is dry-mixed
as no grinding whatever is being
done at the local plant. The elements
used in the mixing of the fertilizers
are shipped here from various parts
of the country, a' great deal of it be
ing imported direct from Germany
from where it Is shipped here by the
way of Wilmington.
The new building will be known as
the dumping-shed and will be about
100x160 feet in dimension. It will
cost about $12,000 and will greatly
facilitate shipments. The contract
calls for its completion by December
the first. In addition to -this there !s
to be started Immediately an acid-
chamber, or sulphuric department
which will make the factory complete
in every respect, enabling It to do
grinding, dry-mixing, and all the
other processes' incident to the man
u fact u re of fertilizers from the raw
material. This .building will be of
brick and will be 100x150 feet. When
completed it will increase the output
of the plant here to 25,000 annually
It will-require several months to
finish this structure. The East Dur
ham plant of the:V. C. C Company
has been in operation, six years. The
large increase in its business has ren
dered necessary this enlargement and
wilt mean much to Durham as a fer
tilizer manufacturing and shipping
point.
Steals Valuable Diamond.
Garland Curtis, a young negro In
the employ of Mr. Victor S. Bryant,
as butler, was arrested Saturday on
the charge of stealing a diamond val
ued a,t $250 from a valuable set ring
owned by Mrs. Bryant. Curtis had
been In the employ of Mr. Bryant for
only a few days, but It sufficed for a
criminal attachment to the diamond
which he tried to dispose of through
a go-between for $60. He gave the
stone to one Jim Stewart with instruc
tions to dispose of it for him. Stew
art foolishly brought the stone to
Jones & Frasier, the jewelers, for
appraisement and was told that the
stone was worth $200. As soon as
the loss was reported to the police no
difficulty was experienced In getting
on the trail of the diamond, because
the valuable stone; unmounted and
in the hands of a negro, at once ex
cited the suspicions of the jewelers.
When confronted with his theft Cur
tis at first Insisted that he bought the
diamond in Norfolk for $60, but soon
broke down and confessed. In addi
tion to the stone he stole a stick pin
and a rifle belonging to the boys,
both of which were found in his sleep
ing quarters. His case will be tried
this afternoon before Recorder
Sykes, who will have to pass him on
to the higher courts on account of the
magnitude of the theft.

is Being Held.
(By Leased AV ire to The Times)
St. Paul, Minn., Sept, 5 The
greatest crowd ever gathered In St.
Paul awaited the arrival of Presi
dent Taft when the chief executive
reached the uniou station here to
day. From dawn to the arrival of the
president a continuous stream of hu
manity poured from the local and in
tern rban electric cars until the down
town streets wore pac ked.
Simultaneously with the arrival of
President Tatt,: who was welcomed
enthusiastically, came Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, repiirescnting Gov
ernor Spry,v and Governor . Hav, of
Washington, a strons; "state's rights'
propagandist.
Governor Eberhard and a recep
tion committee with a company of
United States cavalry rrom Fort
Snelling met the president, and es
corted him through packed streets to
the reviewing stand, where he re
viewed the 'labor day parade. All
plans had been laid to establish a
police cordon covering the two blocks
between the reviewing stand and the
auditorium in which Mr. Taft was
down for a speech at 10:30 before
the national conservation congress.
Detectives from all large cities of the
country mingled with the crowd and
several arrests 'were made within the
first few hours of today. Fifty men
of the local and foreign plain clothes
force were detailed in the vicinity of
the reviewing stnd occupied by Pres
ident Taft and the visiting governors.
This force constituted the body guard
of the president from the moment of
his arrival. Superintendent of Police
John Clarke, of St. Paul, had charge
of the safety of the distinguished vis
itor. Every precaution had been
taken In advance to Insure that the
labor day parade should start at the
announced time, 9:45, in order to
permit President Taft to proceed di
rect to the convention hall. Half a
million people were on the street be
fore 7 : 00 o'clock, and the suburban
electric lines centering here from all
directions poured in additional thous
ands every hour. Suffragette ban
ners were everywhere in' the crowd,
and woman's rights advocates were
especially active. Outside the audi
torium building, In which the con
gress is being held a solid mass of
humanity assembled shortly after
daylight and was augmented every
minute. The announcement that all
seats remaining after delegates had
been seated would be free to the pub
lic aW that none would be reserved
resulted in a general scramu'.e. All
delegates and the press representa
tives were admitted through the west
Foyer door on Fourth street, a dou
ble cordon of police being necessary
to keep the crowd from following.
George Pardee, ex-governor of Cal
ifornia, today before the opening of
the conservation congress In which
he expects to be heard, made a smash
ing Huck in the lobby of the St. Paul
HoteHagainst "those massed repre
sentatives of the interests" now gath
ered in St. Paul to fight federal con
servation. "What is the use of beating about
the bush in a matter of business?"
said the ex-governor. "I am not
afraid of being misquoted and the sit
uation Is that we are confronted with
a clever fraine-up under tne attract
ive itle of 'state's rights'. 1

the postponed motor-carnival, run to
day as a double-header. Oldfield, af
ter tuning 'lip for his first appearance
on a metropolitan track in five years,
said that he was in trim for the most
daring exhibition of his career. An
excitement-hungry throng began to
pour into the grand stand early In
the ''.morning,: the disappointed ones
who were given rain cheeks when the
meet'.-was,. -postponed Saturday being
swelled by a big holiday crowd. Tun
ing up, the drivers declared that the
track was never faster and in the
prediction records fell right and left.
The .pick of the country's dare devil
drivers were entered, and the pro
gram gave promise of many thrilling
events. The paramount event, how
ever, in the expectations of the crowd
was the duel between Oidfield and
George Robertson, who were sched
uled to meet in the one mile and the
one hour races. Harvey Ringler, the
Philadelphia champion, was another
favorite. . ' .
'This promises to be the biggest
meet of its kind in years." said Ref

with him on all political questions."
"I have come here today because
a distinguished man is in the state
and I want to hike him feel that the
people of North Dakota appreciate
him," remarked the governor.
'Theodore Roosevelt is the popular
man, I believe in private llfe today."
Colonel Roosevelt was up at "3
o'clock ready for Fargo's celebration.
The Colonel was in fine humor after
his trip through the western states
and his cordial greeting in the north
west. :.' .'.-; -
"It looks as though the people, out

Colonel's party. s
"Is thai so?" replied the Colonel.
"Well, I have heard them say it In
some of the places. It is kind Q'f
them to speak that way, I am sure.-"
The former president was asked It
he would not permit himself to far
quoted as to whether he would ac-;
cept the republican nomination if it
was offered him.
"I see no reason why I should In-,
dulge In any talk of that kind," ww
the firm reply. "I am not out here to
talk that brand of politics. I am on
a different kind o ftrip." ,
From the way things have gone
since the Colonel has been out Vest
It looks as though he could easily
control the western delegation to ibf
republican national convention. Mr.
Roosevelt is believed by some to have
initiated the trip so as to sound the
sentiment of the west on the 1918
proposition. Whether that was his
idea or not he has gathered the ini
pression that people want him.
Colonel Roosevelt left his hotel at
9:30 o'clock and after a drive in his
automobile through the city was
taken to the new library, where he
delivered the speech at the laying of
a corner-stone. After that he went
back to the hotel and at 1:30 took
his place in the labor day parade,
made up of various trades and civic
organizations. At 2:30 this after
noon he was scheduled to deliver the
principal speech of today at Island
