BOGUS MEDICAL COLLEGE
County Board Of Health Will
Not License DR.. Mather
Of Paterson.

Official business kept County Physician
Converse away from the meeting of the
County Board of Health yesterday, and
the work Of the meeting fell on Presi-
dent West and DR.. Connell, and of course
Clerk Rooney.
A short time ago DR.. Enoch Mather
of No. 152 Broadway, Paterson. applied
to the Board fer registration and stated
that he was registered in Passaic coun-
ty. His diploma was asked for and he
sent a diploma from the Medical Uni
versity of Ohio, ]. w. Dixon, secretary.
This was not entirely satisfactory and
Clerk Rooney was instructed to. write
to the Board of Health of Cincinnati and
make inquiry. Clerk Rooney submitted
this reply to the Board yesterday
P. J. Rooney
Dear Sir-Your letter Of July IS, adj
dressed to the Board of Health, has
Been turned over to me for reply. The
State Board of Medical Registration
does not recognize diplomas of the
Medical University of Ohio, ]. w.
Dixon. secretary. This was a bogus
institution run in this city several
years ago and existed purely on paper.
1t was run by a man by the name
of Van Week, and If you notice his
name on a diploma you can depend
upon it that it is no good. There is,
however, a reputable college in this
city known as the Ohio Medical Col

This, however, is a different institu-

tute, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The temporary registration of DR..
Mather, pending the investigation. was
ordered Cancelled, and Clerk Rooney will
inform the Passaic County Board Of
Health of the result of the Investigation.
A communication was received from the
Rev. Father Dornin. rector of st.
Bridget's. stating that he had been a little
premature in making a return of the mar
riage of William Kemp, of AT West For
ty-eighth street. New York, and Miss
Catherine Rabbit. Of No. 24 Mercer
street, his city. The couple will not be
married until August "a. Clerk Rooney
had received the return, and thinking
Father Dornin had inserted August in
mistake for July, made a correction, and
entered the marriage on the records under
date of July "a. That record has been
erased and a new one will be made when
the marriage is performed.
Miss Anna w. Schwartz. of No. IS Ia
briskie street, asked permission to carry
on an establishment for the tanning and
dyeing OF glove leather, at Nos. 11S and
12o Griffith street. Deputy Inspector
Weastell reported that he made ar inves-
tigation and could find no objection in the
neighborhood to the establishment. DR..
Council said that there were many objec-
lions. He for one objected. and when the
place was running before numerous COM
plants a been made against 1t. The
permit was not granted.
Counselor Winfield reported that he had
Instituted a suit before Police Justice
Nevin against Jacob Leuly. for maintain
ing a foul smelling stable on the Boule-
ward, and that he had procured the in
dictment of one Stern for keeping a fat
rendering establishment in Seeaucus.
Stern. however. has taken refuge in New
York, and nothing can be done with him
until he gets back into the jurisdiction.
A months extension of time was granted
to David Garter to procure proper covers
for his fat boiling kettles in Secaucus.
Clerk Rooney is in doubt as to whether
war stamps are required on the returns of
births, marriages and deaths, and Coun-
selor Winfield will look up the law and
advise him
