ASKS FOR A LICENSE
Dr.. Ames Seeks for Legal Standing as
Physician In Indiana.

DR.. A. A. Ames. late mayor of Mime
apolis. has filed application with the state
medical board of Indiana for a temporary
certificate to practice medicine in Indiana
until the annual meeting of the board in
January, 1903 1t is supposed that the
certificate will be granted at the meeting
to be held next week, but there is some
doubt on the point. It is rather serious
matter with DR.. Ames, however, for he
will doubtless be required to have state
certificate in order to hold his position
as chief medical officer at the West b.
den hotel.
When DR.. Ames applied for a certificate
he filed his license to practice in Mime
sofa, dated Dec. 81, 1888; his diploma from
Rush Medical college, issued in 1862; his
muster-1n and muster-out papers as sur
geon Of the Seventh Minnesota, and his
commission as surgeon general on the
staff Of Governor Van SAINT.
In return the clerk Of the board handed
DR.. Ames copy Of the reciprocity resolu
lions adopted by the Indiana board, and
which provide for the recognition of ply
sicians licensed in other states, provided
such states admit Indiana physicians ON
similar terms. One of the reciprocity
resolutions reads as follows:
"First-As a prerequisite to reciprocal
recognition by the Indiana board the ap-
plicant shall file in this office certificate
signed by the president and secretary and
bearing the seal Of the board by which ap
plicant was last registered; the said board
shall have agreed to fully reciprocate the
action Of the Indiana board
Necessary Certificate Lacking.
Dr. Ames did not submit a certificate
of good moral and professional character -
In the first place no reciprocal arrange
ments exist between Minnesota and Indi-
ana According to DR.. c. M. Cannon OF
St. Paul. a member Of the state board Of
medical examiners, there can be no recf-
procal arrangements made with any state
until after the next meeting Of the legis-
lature as the present law will not per-
nit Of it. The state board can do moth
ing for DR.. Ames except to supply certt-
fed copy of his license.
Mr. Cannon says that as far as he
knows the members Of the Minnesota
board are in favor of entering into reel
procaI relations with all states in which
! the standard for admission is as high as
| that of Minnesota.
| According to the strict law Of Indiana
| it would appear that DR.. Ames would be
compelled to take an examination just like
a callow medical student. .. +.
Governor Durbin. according to special
to r e ournal ], resents with some
emphasis the imputation that the state
board will "stretch a point" in favor Of
DR.. Ames. He says that the report Is
rot" and further that he has not heard
| of the matter at all, but assumes that DR..
Ames will get license provided he can
| present the proper credentials and show q
good moral character.

The Panther had already cleared for
action. The Crete-a- Pierrot hauled
down her flag within the allotted time and
the crew disembarked. The Panther then
intended to take the Crete-a- Pierrot in

PLEASED
Action Of
Creditors.
Everett Commit.
tee Meets Success
In Endeavor to Dispose Of Re-
ceivership Suit.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 1.-THE
Thursday, the bankers committee,
which is assisting the Everett-Moore
syndicate, were in conference with rep
resentatives OF and attorneys for the
Strang Construction Co. This conf
pany three days ago applied for re-
ceivership for the Detroit & Toledo
Shore line property controlled by the
syndicate
AS a result Of the conference It was
agreed on the part Of the construction
company that the suit for receiver
ship. will be dropped for tho present.
In other words, the agreement was
reached that the matter should remain
in statu quo until the committee has
had ample time to get the plan they
are now working upon in full opera
tion. The matter was taken up thor
oughly with tire representatives of
the construction company and at the
end of the conference they announced
their approval Of the plans under which
the committee Is working and agreed
to give full opportunity for the work
of gaining an extension of time from
all creditors.
The bankers committee is greatly
pleased at the result Of the conference
and believe that a decided step has
been taken towards a satisfactory So
luton of the entire matter, The SUIT
for receivership had involved matters
somewhat and now the committee is
of the opinion that when affairs are
turned over to them that arrange
ments can easily be made looking to
the abandonment Of the action for a
receiver altogether.
Yesterday was another very salts
factory day to the committee in gain
ing consents to an extension of time.
The record of not single refusal con-
tinues to hold good and the commit
tee expects that all will be reached
within the next few days and with
the record still unbroken. F
In regard to the sale of some of the
syndicate properties members Of the
committee say that some of the propo-
sitions to buy that have already been
made will probably be considered as
soon as the full plans of the commit,
tee become operative.
Henry Everett was at the offices of
the New York creditors yesterday. The
