“Ten years ago such a gathering as this was unheard of,” the speaker said.   “Trained chiropodists were few and those who practiced had not the brotherly spirit that prevails today.  Our work is a service to humanity.”
Later in his talk, Dr. STONEBACK said that physicians did not advertise, and he believed chiropodists should not.  “We ought to be equally dignified,” he continued.  “Let a man do good work, and, however little his name may be known at first, or wherever his office may be, though in an old building on a back street, the people will find him.”
Mr. STONEBACK said, in regard to precautions against infection, the cleansing of utensils, etc., that the practitioner couldn’t be too particular.  Pictures illustrating foot troubles were thrown on the screen.  Falling arches might be treated by the use of bandages and certain exercises for the patients, the speaker said. 
Dr. GROFF, state president, told of proposed legislation.  In the evening all talks were given at a dinner served at 6:30 o’clock.  Dr. Edith Otis MANN, of Rochester, presided.  The main address was by W. Kirk OTIS, M.D., of this city.

BREWSTER, of No. 47 Ripley street, served with Company J., Forty-second Regiment, U.S. Volunteers, which welcomed the successful expedition on its return to Manila.  Mr. BREWSTER has a copy of the Manila Times of March 28, 1901, which gives General FUNSTON’S own story of the capture.  The rebel leader’s camp was invaded by a clever ruse, native soldiers being disguised as insurgents and FUNSTON and his officers as American prisoners.  AGUINALDO was taken into his own camp at Palanan, province of Isabela, on March 23d and with him, strange to say, an officer named VILLA.  The expedition posed as Filipino reinforcements for which AGUINALDO had sent.  His messenger was captured by the Americans.  General FUNSTON at that time held a rank as brigadier general of the volunteers.  He was recognized by Congress for bravery and rapidly advanced in the regular service until he now holds the rank of major general.  In capturing the VILLA of Filipino fame, FUNSTON didn’t lose a man.  Mr. BREWSTER hopes he will be as successful in his capture of the VILLA of Mexican treachery.

BAD SMELLS NOT TO BE REVIVIFIED.  SUITS BROUGHT BY TENANTS OF BUILDING DISCONTINUED.  The odors that came from an animal show that was housed in the Beckeley building about a year ago were the grounds of three lawsuits against the owners of the building and the proprietor of the show.  The cases were disposed of yesterday.  Morris FISHBERG, George DYER and James E. LANGDON sued Philip PRESENT and George WHITCOMB to recover a total of $30,000 damages for injury alleged to have been suffered as a consequence of the presence of the animals in the building.  The plaintiffs were tenants of Philip PRESENT, owner of the building.  George WHITCOMB was the proprietor of the show.  The plaintiffs claimed that the odors that spread through the building were not conducive to good health or good business.  They maintained that their offices were made unusable and that their health was endangered.  WHITCOMB maintained that he obtained the consent of the proper authorities to house the animals in the building and that the Health Bureau told him the odors were not dangerous to health.  The actions brought by FISHBERG and DYER were dismissed.  The action brought by LANGDON was abated because of the health of the plaintiff.  McINERNEY & BECHTOLD represented the defendants.

FIREMAN SUES FOR $10,000.  A sealed verdict will be opened this morning before Justice CLARK in the $10,000 negligence action of Edward J.

JENCKS and Joseph WEBSTER represented the plaintiff.

SMALL PLAINTIFF AND WITNESS.  A verdict for $250 in favor of the plaintiff was returned by a Supreme Court jury yesterday afternoon before Justice BENTON in the $10,000 negligence action of Angelo BASSANI against Leonard W. WITTMAN.  The plaintiff is a lad about 12.  It was claimed that WITTMAN was riding a motorcycle on the sidewalk in Bay street and struck the lad, breaking one of his legs.  Little Josephine BARNETTA, who says she is 11 years old, but looks younger, was a witness.  Justice BENTON helped out with some of the big words the lawyers used, and with his help the child got along swimmingly.  When she was safe beside her mother, she threw a kiss to the Judge.  Forsyth Brothers represented the plaintiff.

JURORS FOR MURDER TRIAL.  A panel of 100 jurors, to be examined on April 10th for the trial of Michell VENNERO, indicted for murder in the first degree for the shooting of Luigi FAZZINI, is being prepared by John M. STEELE, commissioner of jurors.  The shooting occurred on November 6th.

INQUEST TO DECIDE CLAIM.  Compensation Depends on Whether Accident or Operation Was Fatal.  An autopsy performed by Coroner KILLIP yesterday, at the request of Francis A. McCUSKER, Rochester representative of the State Insurance Fund, on the body of Enurey SEEBROOK, 30 years old, of No. 1121 Hudson avenue, who died on Monday afternoon following an operation on his leg, showed that death had been caused by traumatic shock.  The man sustained a broken leg when at work in the yards of the Rochester Iron and Metal Company several weeks ago.  As the leg did not knit properly, it was necessary to perform another operation.  An inquest now will be held to determine whether the original accident or the second operation caused the man’s death.  If death resulted from the operation and not from the original accident, it is likely that the Bureau of Compensation of the State Industrial Commission will refuse to permit the State Insurance Fund to pay a claim for the man’s death, since death could not then be said to be due to an accident occurring in the course of the man’s employment.  The man’s family, which would benefit from the payment of compensation, is believed to be in Poland.

The fraud action brought by Nina LODER against Count Max LYNAR, known also as Count Max Lynar LAUNDER, was passed yesterday.  The plaintiff seeks to recover $3,000 which she lent the alleged count.  Ralph B. INGALSBE represents the plaintiff.  The case is set down for trial in the term of Court that will open April 3d.

Justice CLARK has signed an order authorizing settlement for $516 of the suit for personal injuries brought by Claude F. LAWLER, an infant, through guardian, against Simon HOHMANN.  Wile & Oviatt represented the plaintiff.

The negligence action brought by John DOBRONSKI, an infant, against Sarah MASON to recover $5,000 for injuries he received when a torch used in removing paint from a house was thrown into the street has been settled.  Justice CLARK signed an order authorizing the plaintiff’s guardian to accept  $200 in settlement.  James L. BREWER represents the plaintiff.

BARRON CASE IS PUT OVER.  At the request of the defendant’s attorney, Louis E. FULLER, the police court case of Walter F. BARRON, a coal dealer, of No. 580 Child street, arrested on a charge of attempting to defraud Monroe county by delivering coal which was less than it was represented to be, was adjourned yesterday morning to March 31st.  Mr. FULLER told the Court that he had not completed the preparation of his case as he had been assured by the District Attorney’s office that it would not be reached yesterday.

FAMILIES DRIVEN TO STREET.  CHIMNEY FIRE IN LOWELL STREET DOES DAMAGES ESTIMATED AT $200.  A defective chimney caused a fire in the blind garret of the house at No. 41 Lowell street at 10:30 o’clock last night that did $200 damage before it was extinguished by the firemen operating under the direction of Battalion Chief LYNCH.  The house is owned by Nicholas KUCZNY, who occupies the front apartment on the first floor.  The apartment affected by the fire is used by Frank KWASNYCIA, who lives on the second floor in the rear.  The fire was discovered by a member of the KWASNYCIA family, who shouted an alarm that sent the KUCZNY family and occupants of two other apartments into the street.      ks
