CHARGES AGAINST DIR. GEOGHAN
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINER UNDER SUSPEN'
SION ACCUSED OF IRREGULAR
PRACTICES

Following the meeting yesterday of the Munic-
ipal Civil Service Commissioners. some rather
rema rkable statements were made by one Cf
the commissioners with reference to division
of sentiment in the board over the suspe lsIon
of DR. William Geoghan. who two weeks ago
was so quietly suspended by the commission
that his friends were astonished whsn they
heard the news
More than hundred decisions .ha1e ny
DR. Geoghan have been appealed from and final
" decided adversely TO the doctor. said one
of the commissioners president Ogden is
satisfied that GeOghan is not the right sort or
an examiner for the Civil Service Commission,
and is determined get rid of him Commits
sioner Banta stands by Ceoghan. and says that
he ought to have another trial Dr. henfy De
Forest has been acting as examiner IN llace
of DR.. Geoghan. and the board is better satls-
fed with his work than with that of DR.
Geoghan'
Further investigation revealed that formal
charges are being prepared against DR.. Geo
CHAN. and that he will be called upon 10 meet
them in A few days Scores of applicants for
Civil Service positions have visited the otpce
of the commission, and complained that DR.
Geoghan was unnecessarily harsh with lh@i'
when they were taking the physlcai eNaini'fa-
ton. They have told the commissioners tha'
it was DR.. Geoghan's practice to order ABOUT
twenty men strip all at once, ana thdI tbelI
ne would give him an inspection that made
them feel that they like dumb beasts
II is said that the doctor would step UP to
man and say:
"Open your mouth" and then. after casual
glance at the candidates molars, would add;
Rejected on account of bad teeth When the
candidate would protest that he had certln-
cate from a dentist saying that his teeth were
ali right DR.. GeOghan would order him out OF
the room The same methods We're practlsed
bv DR. Geoghan, il is said, in all MS eAdLlIild-
tions and men were condemned for de1ectlVe
eyesight or for supposed hernia, When SUP
seouent examination showed that the WORK
done by DR.. Geoghan had been entirely super
| fetal. 3zio -,
The committee on appeals of the commission
has granted new trials in hundreds OF cases
and the end is yet Dr.. Geoghan had tne
privilege of conducting private practlce Wnlle
| performing his official duties as examiner loI
| the Civil Service Commission. 1t Is charged
! that scores of men who wanted to take tile
| physical examinations ordered by the coih.lilS
! sion would first visit DR.. Geoghans ONCE, anu
| consult him in his capacity as practising pnySl-
| cian AS soon as Colonel Ogden learned Oh the
| situation he took stand against the con,
| tinuance of this practice by Dr. Geoghah' dHu
