SAVED FROM ROBBERS.
How q Montgomery County Farmer Escaped
the Loss of His Pocket Book


William Brown. q resident Of Germantown
Montgomery county, Nd, came to the city
yesterday to do some shopping. He bought a
new suit OF clothes and then proceeded to
christen them with strong liquor In the
afternoon he did not know exactly where he
was, and SO he willingly accepted two
colored men and white man to guide
him to the Baltimore and Ohio depot. Before
reaching the railroad station the quartet
stopped in q saloon and had drinks, and there
one OF the co!ored men wanted to take care Of
Browns pocket book.
Mr.. ]. B. Miller OF Baltimore was in the
place, and suspectiug the men were going to re-
iteve the Montgomery county farmer Of his
purse he followed them to Capitol Hill. The
white man in the party separated from
the Others. and when the trio reached
stanton Square Mr.. Miller says he heard one of
the colored men tell Brown that he could hit
him with brick and rob him il he wanted to
do 50, and Brown SAID he would rather give up
his money without being struck.
MIR. Miller made his presence known at this
time and caused the arrest of the negroes. who
gave their names as Charles Ford and William
Brown.
They were tried in the Police Court today be-
fore Judge Kimball as suspicious persons and
the judge required them to give SiOO bonds or
go down for ninety days.

Umpire Gaffney and said:

hour set for play, and the ground, as you
see, isn't fit.
Umpire Gaffney looked at it in the same
light. and Immediately declared the game off.

Regulating the Practice Of Deptjstrv.


| To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The article in a recent issue of The SrAR from
DIR. Walton. president of the board OF dental
examiners, demands a reply even though IL WAS
not brought to my notice until this rather late
day.
All dental laws in this country provide for
board OF examiners, and leave to their discre-
ton much latitude in the construction and en-
forcement of the law. The dental act OF the
District OF Columbia. which went into effect
year ago,is copied after the ones in operation in
the majority OF the states. and the board of ex-
aminers Is supposed to follow the course OF
older and more experienced boards operating
under similar laws In other localities IL IL
customary with such boards to require only the
proprietor or manager OF an Office to register
and to regard his employees or associates as as
sistants.
In New Jersey, where the law is much more
severe In Its requirements than the one in force
mere. the board requires our association to
register but one operator in each Office and so
II Is with our offices in Rhode Island and
Maryland ~''N
In our Washington office. however. we have.
and had at the time of Dr. Van de verp's arrest
three registered dentists instead Of one and fell
tnat we were dong all the law expected, but
learning something of the feeling entertained
for US by the board concluded to ask DIR. Van
de 'ers to register, aud his application was
therefore signed and sent in Friday, Nav 10
Under rule laid down by the board several
months ago any graduate Of a reputable college
is entitled to practice soon as his application
is made. DIR. Van de verg's application was re-
ceived by the secretary OF the board Saturday
morning May 20, and he was arrested the same
day. several hours later.
There was no claim that he was not ouali-
ned dentist, but simply that he had failed to
conform to a rule of the board-a rule that. ms I
have shown, is not considered Just OF desirable
In most OF the states, and one which cannot in
any way benefit the profession or the public.
PRESIDENT Walton's letter shows that three |
elghfhs OF the dentists In Washington are in |
competent, and he declares that some are |
on information picked up in from
one TO three months in the office OF some dem /
tist himself not a graduate" Yet out of all |
these not one arrest has been made. and Dr. j
Geo. Van de Verg, a graduate Of the New York
Ooiiege OF Dentistry, practicing in an Office
with three registered associates, is the oulv
man who has ever been molested in any way nv
