FIDELITY MATTERS.
Opposition to a continuance of thu
Business.

Opposition to n continuance of the
business.
Mr.. L. CabelH Williamson, one of the
receivers appointed by Judge Cox for the
Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment
Association, stated to a Star reporter this
morning that the receivers would not be
able to make full report to the court for
some time He thought, however, that they
would be able to report some time this
morning.
Referring to the application of certain
stockholders for permission to continue
the business, Mr.. Williamson said that he
was Of the opinion that such permission
would not be given. While he believed that
certain benefits would result from such a
continuance of the business under the
direction OF the court, and by board of
directors elected by the stockholders from
planned that he fea-ad that too many of
the parties interested were opposed to 1T.
Those parties, Mr.. Williamson said, were
perfectly satisfied, 1t seemed, to have the
affairs and business of the association
closed out as soon as practicable, and
accept what they could get then rather
than wait any longer.
BY closing out the business, Mr. William
son was OF the opinion that about So, 200
would be lost. Mr.. F. L. Siddons repre-
senting certain of the claimants opposes
continuance of the business Now, he
contends. the claimants have a claim
against the directors of the association for
about $5O.OOO. which amount, he says. was
used Tor expenses, contrary to the law of
the association. Should the business be
continued, Mr.. Siddons believes such claim
would be lost.

Bob Moore and George East Run Down
by Deputies.

Bob Moore and George East Run Down
by Deputies.
Two star desperadoes who have infested
Oklahoma territory for a long time. have
been run to the ground and killed. Before
they died they fought hard battle The
outlaws were Bob Moore and George East,
both of whom are suspected of having been
implicated in the Canadian, Texas, express
robbery and the killing of Sheriff MCGEE.
News of the affair was received at United
States Marshal Nix's Office at Guthrie yes
terday. Deputy Marshal Bill Williams and
a strong detachment of deputies had been
chasing the outlaws for several days. They
mad traced them from place to place, but
had not got within fighting distance till
Monday. Although the sides were une-
qual-half 6. dozen or more deputies to two
outlawS-the latter were armed to the teeth
and their natural deSperateness made them
no easy mark. They were rounded I'D in
of Washita county about noon, and when
commanded to surrender took a stand and
began using their WincheSters. Their aim
was good, for in the first volley one of the
posse fell, seriously wounded by ball In
the side. His name Is rot given.
The next instant, however, both lay
stretched on the ground dead with bullets
from the deputies guns in their hearts.
The outlaws were a veritable walking ar
senal and lad they not been killed so soon
would doubtless have laid some of the dep
uties to rest. They were both old offenders
with envis.ble regulations among their
craft, and their radiance is joyous news to
the territorial officials generally, as they
were the constant dread of OklahomanS.

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE.
Reason the District Health Officer
Has Drawn a Bill.

DR.. Woodward has prepared the bill reg
ulating the practice of medicine which
he has submitted to the Commissioners,
rather in his capacity as health officer
than medical man, and he thinks that
the results of his labor as embodied in the
bill presented to the Commissioners will be
reasonably satisfactory to all parties con-
cerned. Physicians OF all schools in good
standing have long admitted the necessity
for {. more stringent guard on medical
practice in this city, and while the proposed
bill does not suit any branch of the profess
sion perfectly, yet all seem to realize that
it is {. fair compromise and infinitely better
than no law at all.
In conversation with Star reporter this
afternoon DR.. Woodward expressed him
self as of the opinion that the public gen.
orally was more vitality interested in the
matter even than the medical men, and
said that while the best law would nat
urally be the one that would be satisfac-
tory to the largest number Of physicians,
yet II they failed to agree the public, or
rather the authorities, should take the mat
ter into their own hands and settle it once
for all, as the main purpose of such a
move mont is the protection of the public
more than of physicians. In almost every
state of the Union, he said, there are laws
providing for regular examinations of those
"iio NOuiu pldCtlCc HlSuiciIle anu setting d
standard of training and experience for
all such. There is nothing of the sort
worth speaking of in the District of Co.
lumbia, and it is to remedy this defect
that DR.. Woodward has been laboring for
weeks past. He has submitted his pro-
posed bill to a number of the leading ply
sicians of the city, representing the diff
ferent schools of medicine, and it is ex-
pected that when it comes up before the
Commissioners for action it will not meet
with any serious opposition.
Could Not Agree.
Last year the Medical Society of the Dis
trict of Columbia appointed committee to
draft bill to regulate the practice of med
icine here. About the same time a similar
committee was appointed by the followers
of the homeopathic school, and the two
committees held several conferences with
out coming to any satisfactory agreement
Aftervard there was introduced into Con-
gress the bill which was prepared by the
committee of the Medical Society, Of which
DR.. Woodward, who was then the coroner,
was q. member. The bill was referred to
the Commissioners, and at a meeting held
some time ago the views held by the three
schools of medicine-the regular, the hon.
eCpathic and the eclectic-were presented
and the Commissioners took the whole mat
ter under advisement. 1t was not expected
even by the members of the committee
which had drafted the bill that the result
of their work would be finally adopted as
law. and it has been DR.. Woodward's de-
sire to strike a general average from the
conflicting views of the three schools.
