ASBURY PARK. July 19.-As was
expected Vice President Hindle, OF New
Brunswick. -was elected president OF the
New eJrsey State Dental Society, which
ends its annual convention here today
DIR. H. Stephen, of Newark, was chosen
vice-president; DIR. Charles A. Meeker, of
Newark, secretary. and DR.. Ii. A. Hail.
Of New Brunswick treasurer. The exc
cutive committee chosen is composed OIL
H. w. Hawke, Pennington; A. Irwin,
Camden; W. G. Chase, Princeton; e. e.
Riley, Newark. For member OF the
board of examiners. B. f. Luckey, of
Paterson, was seated.
DIR. Meeker is life incumbent. hav-
ing held office for twent-seven years.
He had hoped to retire this year in favor
of DIR. Sutphen, who had been assistant
for four years.
The election of DIR. Sutphen to the
Vice Presidency naturally defers Dr.
Meeker's retirement for at least another
year.
Preceding the election reports of COM
mitees were read and much miscellan-
eous business incident to the closing ses-
sion was transacted.
Drs MeelSer and Stockton were ap-
pointed representatives last night of the
State Dental Society to act in conjunc-
ton with other representatives through
olut the country who hope to induce the
trustees of the Carnegie National Insti-
tute at Washington to give proper rec
ognition to the dental profession and to
assists the institute in original research
along dental lines.
The report of the Examining Board,
which was read by DR.. Allen Asmun,
was an exhaustive paper.
1t set forth. among other things, that
at the October, 1901, examination there
were fifteen new applicants.
OF these three were successful in pass
ing the examination.
The Board had thirty-nine new appli-
cants for the July examinations.
This number, with those who were
conditioned at previous examinations,
made fifty-one candidates.
The report dwelt at length on the pro-
vision relative to the registration of dem
lists, which demands that each dentist
shall register his name with the secre-
tary of the Board annually.
Under the caption of the enforcement
of the law the report gives the details
of the cases prosecuted since October,
1901, referring especially to the case of
Dr. Martin V. Chapman, ov Vineland,
who was accused of practicing contrary
to the law.
The law is distinct in its demands and
requires every one who opens an office
in this State to have license from the
State Board and to register his name
with the secretary, for failure to do this
makes the dentist liable to fine of 500.
This Dr. Chapman refused to do and
after trial before Judge Trenchard at
Bridgeton on May 21, he was found gull
ty ard paid his fine.
Among the recommendations it was
suggested that the examinations shall
hereafter be held in Trenton of here, as
ma private office is large enough to ac-
commodate the large number wishing to
avail themselves of the examination.
The society's meeting is accounted the
most successful in it's history. Most of
the members left on the afternoon trains,
although kquite a ndmber will remain
over Sunday.
