The appellate division OF the supreme

and upon a nearing of the parties the
board revoked the certificate, whereupon
the defendant appealed 20 the appellate
division OF the court.
Before proceeding TO the trial OF his
appeal however. Dr. Roy inte~posed

'rhat such conduct would be grossly un-

Quirc argument Ihe contention that the
gross unpruiessiOnal conduct muct occur
after the granting Oi the certificate 10

Kept up md contiuVed every time he

''As to ihc second ground on which tho
motion to quash is founded viz, that the
board never found the charges against
the defendant or any of the specifications
20 be trde and without such hndings the
board had no right 20 revoke the certih-
cate the court says is more a reason
for consideration as an appeal than as
motion 10 uuHsh.
"1ne third ground of motion to quash
attacks the constitutionality OF the act
establishing and defining the powers or
the beard OF health in regard To the prac-
tice OF medicine IN this state. because tho
beard Is given judicial powers.
Judge Rogers calls attention TO the
fact that laws regulating the practice OF
medicine haze been held constitutional IN
other states and Instances the speedy
means provided by which any one wish
ing 70 practice medicine and whose claim
is not suitably acted upon may bring the
matter 10 the appellate division OF the
supreme court on appeal. As 10 the claim
that the proceedings should be quashed
because there Il no provision for a jury
trial attention Is called TO the fact that
this claim OF constitutional right Of jury
trial only applies 10 cases where such
rights were acknowledged previous TO the
adoption OF the constitution.
As 10 the assertion made I'm the argu-
mcnt Of the ease 10 the court that the
board hired counsel and WAS itself prose-
cution and Judge the opinion calls atten-
ton 10 the fact that one NiCol was the
complainant and saws. 'if the secretary
was personally interested in the COM
plant, ne, cannot vote upon II. and IL he
is officially interested merely II such a
distinction can be taken. his action Is

scriptions from the old soldiers but
contributions will be received from
them as well as from others. In fact
no person will be urged by paid can
Vassers to contribute his mite to the
monument fund The contributions
will be voluntary and the sums con-
tributed will be entirely at the discre-
ton of the giver Anything from a
few cents to sums of larger denomfna-
ton win be taken because it is desired
that as many people as possible con-
tribute to the memorial.
One Of the evening papers printed a
story Monday night to the effect that
the names of the Worcester County
soldiers who fell in the war are to be
inscribed on the base of the monument
This is not so as it would be practical
ly impossible to put on the the stone
all the names of the men who gave up
their lives.
1t is the intention to have another
base put on the present pedestal for
the statue of Gen. Devens and on this
second base it is intended to inscribe
something about the nature of the
monument and so far as possible the
names of the regiments that were dis
tlnctly Worcester County organiza-
tions. Many of the towns of the coun-
ty contributed companies that fought
in other regiments than those of the
county and 1t out of the question 20
name al these regiments so only the
regiments made up entirely of Wor-
cester County men will be inscribed on
the base.

Capt. David NJ. Earle Will Begin
Soon the Canvas For Funds to
Complete the Sum Needed For
the DeVenS Statue
SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL
BE ALLOWED TO HELP
Another Base viii be Added to
the Original Design and Upon 1t
Will be Placed the Names of

That Went to the War
The very best for the price.

CAPT. David NJ. Earle, collector of
funds for the Worcester County SOL
dfers monument and the Devens statue
in front of the Court House, received,
Yesterday. the subscription lists from
the Worcester Board of Trade, and he
will at once begin the work of getting
subscriptions from the people of Wor-
cester and the county. AS has been ex-
planned in The Spy, the monument is
to be a memorial to the Worcester
County soldiers who fought for the
Union In the Civil war and the com
mission in charge of its erection is anX-
ious that all the people of the county
should have a share in it. 1t is not
the intention of the commission 10 col
Iect the $4,000 remaining before work
can be begun from the towns of the
county alone. This seems to be the
impression given by some of the Wor-
oes+er papers The residents of the
civ of Worcester are to contribute
their share to this $4,000 and Capt.
earle will begi I Immediately to raise
all he can IN the city.
In order to do this and to give every
bodv so inclined an opportunity TO con-
tribute. subscription lists will be placed
in many OF the ldtSt SAolCS III tAC III
ire of the city and also in the bank
ing houses and with them will be left
a slppIy of certificates of contribution.
Every contributor to the fund of a sum
of "a cents or over will be given one
of these certificates but it will not con-
tain anv reference to the amount sub
scribe1 so that the man who gives %
cents will have as much TO show for
If as the more wealthy man who con-
tributes his 800. After the lists have
begun to get in their work in the cen
ire of the city. 1t is the intention 10
mt them in the stores in the suburbs.
Volunteers will be asked to take charge
of the subscriptions in the large manu-
featuring concerns.
Another plan Of getting suoscrlp-
tions is also under consideration. That
is to get permission from the School
Committee to put subscription lists in
the public schools for the children, who
will he allowed to contribute any sum
from one to five cents. Each contribu-
for among the children will also be
given a certificate of contribution so
he will have something in after life to
show he had a share in the erection OF
the monument to the Worcester County
soldiers. .
After the field has been covered in
Worcester. Capt. Earle will give MS at
tention to the towns in the county ana
will personally visit them all for the
purpose of interesting the members OF
the Grand Army in the work NO at
tempts will be made to solicit SUD
