Takes His Grievance to the Court Of
Appeals.

John III. short, Dorchester County Man,
Takes His Grievance to the Court Of
Appeals.
ANNAPOLIS, jan. 16 The Court Of
Appeals began the hearing OF argu
ments for the January term
yesterday. Chief Judge Robinson and
Associate Judges McSherry, Roberts,
Fowler and Briscoe we're on the bench.
Among the cases argued was one in
volving the constitutionality. of the road
law Of d 1rchester county. The appellant,
John b. Short, had been indicted and
convicted and later sentenced to pay q
fine Of 10 cents and costs by the Circuit
Court for Dorchester county for refusing
to work on public road when requested
by a road supervisor by a virtue Of
authority conferred BY sections 2G8.
900 and 270 Of the Code OF Public Local
Laws OF Dorchester county.
The case comes before the Court Of
Appeals on q writ of error, counsel for
the appellant insisting that his convic.
tion violated both the Constitution Of the
United States and the constitution OF
Maryland.
It is claimed that the judgment below
should be reversed because the nfore-
mentioned sections Of the road law are
null and void. as they violate the thir
tsenth and fourteenth amendments OF
the constitution by imposing ''involun
tary servltude;" that the work required
is compulsory and is Az infringement OF
the personal liberty-the liberty Of con-
tract-the liberty to dispose OF his labor
and property as he thinks best for the
protection Of his welfare and happiness
and for that Of every person who may be
required to perform II.

Fight on the Nurse Bill.
The act to regulate the practice OF
medicine and surgery in the State Of
Delaware, introduced last week, will not
get through without struggle. Lobby.
lists representing It's opponents have
ing the situation. When asked to
specify their objections they refused,
merely stating tnat physicians OF all
schools were opposed to IL, especially to
its nursing provisions The bill in ques-
tion provides for state board of medical
examiners, to consist of three allopathlc
and three homeopathic physicians, with
the president Of the State Board Of
Health IS chairman. The board shall,
during the first week Of January, April,
July and October, alternating the
counties. examine all candidates who
come before It to practice medicine or Its
specialties, provided such candidate
presents diploma OF certificate
OF graduation from some recognized
medical school. A candidate must be
examined only by the physicians Of his
school In the board, and the decision OF
such section shall be equal to the
decision Of the whole bnard The fee
for examination is $25. and the cRndi
date must register with the clerk OF the
peace Of the county in which he desires
to practice. Heavy penalties are pre-
scribed for practlcing or nursing In
Delaware without having passed the
prescribed examination
The bill is evidently drawn more
particularly In behalf of professional
nurses, for the second paragraph Of
section 12 is as follows:
ANY person nursing or attempting to
nurse In the State OF Delaware that has
not been duly qualified as per this act
shall be subject to a fine of ten (l0)
dollars for each and every offense ana In
default Of payment shall be subject to
imprisonment to not less than thirty (30)
days and no more than sixty (60) days"
This will doubtless bring nom
professional nurses to Dover In force.
Poor people could not afford to pay
professional nurses and the section Is so
sweeping that even q relative Of sick
person could not do the nursing
1t is almost certain that the projectors
Of the bill will have to agree TO y modi
fication or the elimi nation OF this para
graph at least, or 1t will be summarily
killed
