DOCTORS KICK ON EATING HAM EVERY DAY IN WEEK Internes and Nurses of Institu- • * tion Tire of Monotonous Fare and Change Is Made. X. If the form< r matron of Grady Hos pital had not eloped with a cheek forger, there would be no trouble at all over the meals about which the medical si.iff has been furiously kicking. i tver at Grady hospital today every '• doctor of the institution declared that while Mrs. Cora .Johnson was matron in charge of the cooking they were never better fed in their life. But one night about tv.o months ago Mrs. John son eloped "-ith one Bert Walmsley, ” no had just been released from jail, and. they went to Seattle. Mrs. E. D. Phillips was put in charge and the it d'wmrs say they have had to eat the 4 same dish over and over, day after day, without variety, until they simply can't ho their work properly for lack of food. Ur. Summerall. the superintendent, says the other doctors haven’t formally complained to him about Mrs. Phillips’ men's, but he admits that they have spoken to him about the monotonous recu’rence of haljj and turnip greens for a week at a time consecutively, and ho ays that he has frequently asked Mrs. Phillips to please put a little more of the spice of life on her .able. Even Write “Poems’ • Xbout the Menus. He says she gives the doctors suffi •imti food all right, but buys enough lain for a week and uses it all before die shifts to steak or mutton. House t’hysician Harvey, Surgeon A. B. Jones md others of the staff don't feel unite | he same "ny about it. as may be sejm I ty the poetry one of them got up when hev found that Mrs. Johnson had real y eloped for good. This is the poetry: Farewell. thou pickled beet and fra grant onion: t'a i cwell. thou Wienerwurst of dapple giay; IMrewell. thou radish, looking like a bunion: Farewell. O thou lunch of yester- i day. The doctors point to a day's menu as laid out by Mrs Phillips and I call attention to how monotonous it gets to eat the same fare very day for ) i week. Menu: V Breakfast —Eggs and bacon, potatoes, ■ mt n flakes, tea, coffee and milk. I Dinner —Roast beef, potatoes, beets, ■ icllicon. coffee, tea, milk. Supper —Frankfurters, tomatoes, cold beef, potatoes, dessert, tea. Got a Really Good Supper. Dr. Summerall says the doctors prob ably won’t make any further protest about their food, because he has; con vinced -Mrs, Phillips that they really need mote variety. He say. the supper she served last night was really as good as many that the eloping Mrs. Johnson brought forth, and he thinks that so far as the trouble over the pabulum is con , , rued there is no further reason to fear a revolt. But the staff at Grady has some other grievances. For instance, they say they're so badly underpaid by the city’ that applications from young physi- A ( ians for places on the staff are falling off to near zero. They get only from s.l to Sl.i a month C om the city, according to length of -ervice, and they declare that the mrees similarly are underpaid. They mint out with evident resentment the practice of the railroad companies in ruling their own doctors to the hos , j.-.j to perform operations upon rail ,,.ad eHiints aft-u the Grady doctors done practi'cally all the work. The •• railroad doctor: get the sls fees, they . while thev don't get anything but th, doubtful glory.

Roosevelt Delegates Whistle and “Toot” ns Steam Roller Speeds On. Old Favorite Songs and Yells Delay Hurry-Up Taft Program. - Colonel Quits Fight Before Convention, But ‘ Refuses To Release Delegates—Taft To Be Named on First Ballot, with “Sunny Jim” Sherman for His Running Mate Again. ■ COLISEUM. Chicago. June 22.—The Republican national convention was turned into a grand farce today by the overrid den Roosevelt forces, who. having lost every battle before the convention, and being in a more jubilant spirit, as the end of the big struggle was practically reached. whistled and “choo chooed in imitation of the steam roller as the convention ma chine ran over their frail opposition and seated all the Taft contested delegates as fast as recommendations were received from the credentials committee. The Roosevelt delegates sang. “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Marching Through Georgia,” and numerous other old favorites, mingling them with cheers for Roosevelt, and materially interfering with the hurry-up pro gram of the Taft forces. With the machine working rapidly, there was every pros pect that President Taft would be renominated by the convention this afternoon o.” tonight, and on the first ballot. While there had been no agreement reached on vice president, it was expected that the present holder of that office, James Schoolcraft Sher man. would be named. In the meantime Colonel Roosevelt, beaten in his fight to purge the conven tion of "stolen” votes, quit the race for the nomination by’ the convention and busied himself with conferring with his friends in outlining plans for the launching of the new progressive party which he is to head. He notified the management of the Congress hotel, where he has been staying, that ne would give up his rooms, both personal and headquarters, there tonight and would return to Oyster Bay. He issued a statement this afternoon. In which he stated that the nominations of the present convention were not binding upon the party, and refusing to re lease his delegates which are pledged to him. He asked, however, that they refrain from voting in the convention. The statement said: "A clear majority of the delegates honestly elected to this convention were chosen by the people to nominate me. Under the direction and with the encouragement of Mr. Taft, the majori ty of the national committee, by the so-called 'steam roller' methods and with scandalous disregard of every principle of elementary honesty and decency, stole 80 or 90 delegates, put ting on the temporary roll call a suffi cient number of fraudulent delegates to defeat the legally expressed will of the people, and then substituted a dishon est for a honest majority. Refuses to Release Pledged Delegates "The convention has now declined to purge the roll of fraudulent delegates placed thereon by’ the defunct national committee, and the majority which thus Indorsed fraud was made a majority only because it included the fraudulent delegates themselves, who all sat as judges on one another's cases. "If these fraudulent votes had not been thus cast and counted, the con vention would have been purged of their presence. This action makes the convention in no proper sense any long er a Republican convention represent ing the real Republican party. There fore. 1 hope the men elected as Roose velt delegates will now decline to vote on any matter before the convention. I do not release any’ delegate from his honorable obligation to vote for me if he votes at. all. but under the actual conditions I hope that he will not vote at all. "The convention as now composed has no claim to represent tne voters of ihe Republican party. It represents nothing but fraud in overriding the will of the rank and file of the party. Any man nominated by the convention as now constituted would be merely the ben( tieiary of this successful fraud; il HOME IDITKW 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE £ A O Y RE NO would be. deeply discreditable to any man to accept the convention's nomi nation under these circumstances: an ’ any man thus accepting it would have no claim to the support of any Re publican on party grounds, have forfeited the right to ask the support of any honest man of any par ty on moral grounds." Steani Roller On Its Way. The convention was scheduled to meet at 10 o’clock, but drifted aim lessly’ for three-quarters of an hour. Two minutes after the convention started the "steam roller” rvas on its w’ay. The delegates and chairman seemed to enjoy the run. The first case that came up was that of the del egates-at-large from Mississippi. Two reports were offered When the motion of Delegate Watson to table the mi nority report came up some one in the audience called: "Toot, toot!” Others imitated the sound of escap ing steam. When the vote was put the delegates shouted: "Yes.” Then they shouted: "No.” The "no” was loud and long and shrill. "The ayes appear to have it,” shouted the chairman, smilingly. “The ayes have it and the motion Is passed.” Some delegate produced a metal whistle and sounded tw’o shrill blasts. "The other Mississippi cases in which there were no contests w p ere rushed through in the same manner, the chair man announcing his decision amid deafening chorus of “noes.” Every one was good natured. Roller Exceeds Speed Limit. Chairman Root advanced to the front of the platform to ask order when the contests in the state at large cases of Washington were called. In a pleasant little speech he asked for a little mote quiet. “Mr. Chairman, a point of order.” shouted P. W. Howard, of Mississippi. “State the point.” “The steam roller is exceeding the speed limit." “The point is sustained." smiled Roo'. "However, we must hasten somewhat, for we have hopes of getting home fn" Sunday.” The clerk then read the majority ;■ - port in the Washington case. John J. Sullivan, of Ohio, pre-wnfi d the statement of the minority and "m behalf of all of the Roosevelt membe: < of the. committee on credentials” mov< I the adoption of the statement as a sub stitute. The statement charged that th? Tait contests in Washington were al! "trumped up on us" and urged the seat ing of all the Roosevelt delegates. 1 Mr. Watson, of Indiana, moved to ta ble the minority motion and to let the steam roller list go through. ‘ “Choo, choo, ehoo," began the dele gates from the Roosevelt side. They’ started to make a loud and lively inn- ' tatiou nf a toad relief in full operation, t As the mimic escaping steam cam hissing over the heads of the delegate* the cry was heard: 'Ail aboard foi fin i ehoo-ehoo car." "Sand your track." Ami then, turning the situation Into
