BOSTON CHOSEN AS NEXT PLACE
After Lengthy Discussion Pharmacists Decide to Go to the Hub Next May.
QUESTION OF LEGISLATION
Committee Makes Full Report of Bills Now Pending That Affect Business of Association.
Amid great confusion and cheering by the winners, it was decided at Wednesday morning's session of the American Pharmaceutical Association that the next session shall be held in the city of Boston.
This decision was not reached until fully an hour had been consumed in the discussion of the places most favored. Representatives from the different cities were heard and many good points were advanced for each of the places. When the vote was finally taken it was shown that 95 favored Boston, 58 favored Cedar Point, Ohio, and 26 wanted to go to New Orleans, La.
Acting Chairman L. E. Sayre, of the committee on time and place of next meeting, reported that he had received invitations from St. Louis, Mo., Rochester, N. Y., Boston, Mass., Saratoga, N. Y., Chattanooga, Tenn., New Orleans, La., Kineo, Me., and Cedar Point, Ohio. The committee asked to be allowed to make its report without stating a preference, but certain of the members were of the opinion that the committee should make a full report and recommend the place best suited. The committee finally reported that New Orleans seemed the most suitable place, the time to be May, 1911.
All of the members representing the various cities were then given three minutes each to speak in advocacy of their respective cities, and all of them gave the various advantages to be offered by their cities. It was stated that the meeting was held in Boston in 1875, in New Orleans in 1891, and that it never was held in Cedar Point. Tampa, Fla., was mentioned as a good place, but this city was withdrawn and the race narrowed down to New Orleans, Boston and Cedar Point. The rising vote resulted in favor of Boston by a large majority. It was decided that the meeting shall be held next May.
Legislation Questions.
The morning session was begun at 10 o'clock with the attendance much larger than on Tuesday, but there were not so many ladies present. The report of the committee on national and State legislation aroused more enthusiasm than any other matter presented at the meeting with the exception of the question of choosing the next place for the session. The report was read by Chairman Samuel S. Hilton, of Washington, D. C.
Chairman Hilton stated that his report would fail to bring out all the most important acts of Congress bearing (Continued on Fourth Page.)

(Continued from First Page)
on the business of the association since there may have been considerable done within the past few days.
It was recommended in the report that a close watch be kept on the parcels post bill and that every effort be made to defeat it. The most important bills before Congress that have a bearing on the association are, according to the report of the committee, a bill to establish a department of public health; a bill to regulate trade marks and patents; a bill regarding the transportation of liquors; a bill to regulate the manufacture and sale of opium; a bill to regulate the manufacture of habit-forming drugs, and a bill to regulate the transportation of habit-forming drugs and drinks; also bills to prohibit the sale of poison in China and to regulate the manufacture of pure paint.
Want to Sell Liquor.
The report discusses in detail the various bills, and said that all of them should receive the support of the association. It was suggested that there should be a bill to provide for the establishment of a bureau of pharmacy.
Mr. Hilton said all pharmacists should oppose any legislation tending to prohibit the sale of liquor for medicinal purposes by druggists. He said that druggists should be permitted to sell all alcoholic beverages even if it had to be done by the use of prescriptions from physicians. The report advocated the abolishment of the sale of habit forming drugs and opium all except licensed dealers. The existing conditions in large cities were pointed out as an argument in favor of the movement to break up the trade.
In closing his report Chairman Hilton stated that he was obliged to tender his resignation as the head of the committee on account of his health. The report was well received and Chairman Hilton was extended a vote of thanks by the Association for the good work he has done while in office.

Committee Reports.
President Rusby called for the reports from standing committees, and several of them made reports. The long discussion over the time and place of the next session prevented all reports being made in the morning session.
The committee on reorganization reported that they had submitted to the council a recommendation for certain changes in the by-laws of the association. The committee suggested that members be required to pay annual dues promptly and that they be suspended at the expiration of thirty days after payment is due.
They recommended also that membership cards and badges be issued to members.
The committee recommended further that provision be made for the families of members and for visitors at the meetings by giving them badges. It asked that the Bulletin be required to contain a full program of each meeting in the issue immediately preceding the meeting and that the program contain abstracts of the different papers to be read and the work of the various sections. It was suggested that the meetings of the association be concentrated so as to come within the time of four days.
Parcels Post Committee.
The parcels post committee reported that there seems to be plenty of good strong opposition to the parcels post bill and that it is now before a committee in Congress. No full report could be made at this time. It was decided to refer this report to the legislative committee for consideration, with instructions to use every effort to defeat the bill.
A number of certificates for life membership in the association are held by the secretary and are being given out during the meeting to those members for whom they are intended.
