The Supreme Court Sets Aside a
Former Decision.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2i.-Fouf
weeks ago the Supreme Court IN de-
partment. rendered an opinion holdlng
that the State Board of Dental Exam
iners had the power TO refuse, on It's
own motion, to issue a license to prac-
tice dentistry.
This was in the case of Van Week
against the State Board of Dental tx
aminers. on appeal from Orange Coun-
ty. The plaintiff was possessed OF a
diploma from the American College OF
Dentistry of Chicago, and upon presen-
tation to the State board that body re-
fused to issue a license claiming that
the college was not a bona fide school
The lower court gave judgment for the
plaintiff. but the Supreme Court held
that the functions of the board We're
of quasi judicial nature, and that 1t
had the power, under the statute, to re-
fuse the application.
The court to-day made an order set
ting aside this decision, and ordered
the cause to be heard in bank at Los
Angeles in October.
