The ouestion Decided BY Chiesgo Court
Recently.

Chicago Timer.
An important question OF personal lib.
city to follow vocation after ones own
fashion was decided yesterday by Judge
Waterman. The case was that Of the
State Board Of Health sgsiDst DR.. J
Cyessp Mccoy. The board revoked the
phYsicisn's License for alleged uuprofes-
sional conduct, which consisted In his
method OF treatment and the display
advertisement of his purported cures.
A detective discovered inst Nc
Coy was prscticing after the license
was revoked and this was a quasi
criminal proceeding to eI force statutory
fine for so doing. The two points which
Judge Waterman had TO decide were
whether defendant had notice CT the trial
By the board at which the license was re-
voked, ard whether, il he had notice, the
legislative act under which the board pro-
ceeded WAS not Unconstitutional IS being
unjust, arbitrary and in conflict with the
rights guaranteed by The constitution of
the state. The court held that Mccoy had
no notice of such character ss gave the
board right To condemn him because be
did not respond 30 II, and that the power
exercised By the board in the revocation
OF medical license or what Is known as
unprofessionsl or dishonorsble practices

hrohes, who served four hours IS vice.
president Of the Metropolitan Bank, speaks
out plainly about the way he was de-
ceived. He says he knew nothing of any
cause Of embarrassment until Informed
by the Bank Examiner that the reserve
was impaired. He insisted on it's being
made good and it was done. Then ne
thought all WAS right, but on Friday last
the Bank Examiner called him to his hotel
and told him that there was a ring or syn
dicate among the d rectors that had Dor
rowed and loaned the funds Of the bank In
g shameful manner to the amount of be-
tween $500, 600 and S600,O The Bank
Examiner then said that Mr.. Decamp
would have to resign and perhaps would
be called on to answer criminal charge.
Mr.. Rrohes says that he and Colonel Day
ton that night saw Means and the
other directors named IS belonging
to the syndicate and insisted upon having
better securities for their loans The
next morning Means and Decamp turned
over for themselves and Directors Roth,
Duckworth and Gerke, what appeared to
be lot OF good securities. Mr.. Krohes
then went to the other banks and got
some assistance, but it was impossible to
stem the tide. He ayers that the truth
was kept from him until it WAS too late to
prevent the catastrophe.
Cashier Edwards makes a statement of
the condition Of the bank, showing that
after all claims are paid there will re-
main a total of $4,000 for the stock
holders, or IS per cent.
There have been no further arrests
this morning, and 1t is not likely tha. any
more will now be made.
