VALDEZ CITY ATTORNEY
FIRED BY COUNCIL
VALDEZ, June 21.—Charles G.
Ganty, city attorney for Valdez, was
notified by the council at its last meet
ing that that his services would be
dspensed with. The council gave as
the reason for its action that the
finances of the cit(y demanded re
trenchment. and they saw an oppor
tunity to save $25 per month, by firing
their legal adviser.
Friends of Ganty contend he was
discharged for political reasons con
nected with his refusal as clerk of the
school board to accept city warrants
for the teachers' salaries. Attorneys
in Valdez say that the action of the
council is illegal and that Ganty can
collect his salary for the year, even
though the Council gets along with
out his services.
Rumors of other changes by the
council among tlie city employees, are
current, and it is freely predicted
that Chief of Police Willard Scott
will soon have his official head cut
off.
CONTRACTORS GIVEN
NEW RULES DF CONDUCT
BERLIN, June 21.—The Prussian
ministry of war lias Issued a circular
to the military authorities laying
down the principle that all firms
tendering for war contracts must do
so through their local Chamber of
Commerce or Industrial Associations,
which must supplement the bid with
a certificate testifying to the good
faith of the firm and to its respectable
standing and productive capacity.
Where the bidder is the direct pro
ducer of the goods, the factory in
spector must also certify that his
technical equipment is adequate to
the task and that he satisfied all legal
requirements as to rate of wages,
hours of labor and conditions of em
ployment.
“If the above rules are carried out"
adds the circular, "we may confidently
expect that all unfair employers and
unfair middlemen will be eliminated
from the contracting business."

not entirely due to an increased death

MEDICAL SOCIETY
HOLDSBIC
CONVENTION
SAN FRANCISCO. June 21.—Num
erous activities in which the Ameri
can Medlca! Association Is engaged,
particularly in the line of educating
the public for the preservation of
health, were reported upon at the
opening session today of the sixty
sixth nnnual meeting of the Associa
tion. Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, of Ann
Arbor, Mich., dean of the medical de
partment of the University of Michl
gan, Is president of the association
and presided today at the meeting In
the Kxitoaltlon Memorial Auditorium.
Dr. Henry B. Favill, of Chicago,
who presented the report of the coun
cil on health and public Instruction,
said that during the past year the
Council had continued the develop
ment of Its program which Includes
a thorough Investigation of present
public health conditions in the United
'tates, the education of the public by
every possible means, in order that
the people may understand the enorm
ous advances In scientific medical
knowledge during the laBt generation
for the prevention of disease and the
prolongation of human life. He re
ported that Dr. Charles V. Chapin,
commissioner of public health of
Providence, R. I„ had, as the special
representative of the council, visited
and inspected the boards of health In
all of the states and had prepared a
report as a basis of standardizing and
classifying their work. He said a
similar study of federal and municipal
health activities was being planned.
An important “get-together” move
ment was indicated in the report of
the central committee on the public
health organization, which has made a
survey of 44 different national organ
izations working on public health sub
jects, duplicatng efTort, wasting money
and labor and conflicting In functions.
It was said a union meeting of all the
organizations interested was being
planned for 1916, with a view to unit
ing ns many of these organizations as
possible In a single national organiza
tion.
Regarding public educational work
the council reported that the speak
er's bureau had furnished speakers for
151 public meetings during the year
and that the bureau of literature had
printed nearly 300,000 pamphlets on
different public health subjects, in
cluding a campaign of education for
mothers on how to save babies, and
on the minimum sanitary require
ment for rural schools.
The educational work of the Asso
ciation regarding frauds in patent
medicines and the Interest shown by
the public were reported as having
steadily Increased, and the work
which the council undertook some
ten years ago In elevating the stand
ard of requirements for medical edu
cation was said to have been bo suc
cessful that the conditons which were
outlined In the first report a decade
ago as ideal, has now become a
reality. There were however a num
ber of further advances to be recom
mended, among which were reforms
in methods of clinical Instruction in
medical colleges.
The secretary of the Association, Dr
Alexander R. Craig, of Chicago, re
ported that the membership had in
creased from 74,035 In 1914 to 76,020
this year.

of Keys, the governing parliament of
the iBle of Man. gave notice at the
last session of that body that at the
next meeting he would move that the
English government be asked to

He complained that the Isle of Man
could not get. needed reforms, and
that the government had relapsed Into
a "one-man power." The Manx people,
he affirmed, were worse governed than
the Germans.
The Island, owing to the cutting oft
of boarding house and hotel buslnes*
by the war, Is on the border lino of
starvation.
The Isle of Man, although part of
the liritish Isles, still maintains a
certain Independence. It Is governed
by a separate legislature called the

the governor and council and the
House of Keys. Iillls after having
