ecutive Committee, held on Monday evening, at 8.30 P.M.

Stewart, while the vacancies caused by the absence of Drs. 
Ramacciotti, Winchester and Peters were filled by the appoint¬

The proposed amendment to the constitution creating two 
additional vice-presidents was recommended for adoption, and 
the association sustained the action of the committee. 
The trial of Dr. W. E. Wight, of Allegheny, Pa., for violation 
of the Code of Ethics in having used advertising posters, the 
Doctor appearing before the committee in his own defense, re¬ 
sulted in a recommendation for expulsion, which was unani¬ 
mously voted by the association. 
Charges were lodged of plagiarism against Dr. G. B. Black¬ 
man, of Georgia, and the committee directed the Secretary to 
notify Dr. B. to appear before it at its next annual meeting and 
explain the circumstance. The meeting sustained this action. 
The charges against Dr A. J. Kline, of violating the Code 
were held in abeyance as the doctor promised not to repeat the 
offense of prohibited advertising. 
The resignation of Dr. R. R. Dinwiddie, tendered at the 
last meeting, was withdrawn at the request of the association. 
The resignation of Dr. Chas. W. Heitzman, of New Orleans, 
was accepted, the doctor having engaged in the practice of 
human medicine.
