General Fitzllugh Lee
Champion of Lincoln
Says General Wheeler Does Injustice to
EmanCipator-Not Jealous of Mcclellan.
RiChmond's Capture Defeated by Lee.

RICHMOND. Va, June ST think
General Wheeler is mistaken and does
Lincoln great Injustice" says Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, in making the statement
that Mcclellan would have captured
Richmond in 1862 had not Lincoln and
Stanton become jealous Of his power and
strength and feared that II he did cap
ture the Southern capital he would be
the coming man Of the country.
Mcclellan lost the battles in front Of
Richmond owing to the strategy of Gen.
Robert Lee in bringing Jackson down
from the valley and throwing his com
mand in the rear OF McClellan's right.
No Evidence of Jealousy.
Mr.. Lincoln telegraphed to Mcclellan
on June q Of that year that McClellan's
telegram TO him. saying he would have
TO meet 100000 men and would probably
be overwhelmed panied him very much
and Stanton. his Secretary OF War, tele-
graphed to Mr.. Seward at New York
on June 20 in a rejoicing spirit that
Mcclellan would be in the city Of Rich
mond in two days.

BOYS TAKE FLOGGING,,
THEY WENT TO CIRCUS
Principal of School Gives Choice Of Pun

His Orders.

HONESDALE. Pa. June S.-when
Walter l. Mains circus showed here
the children were informed that II the
parade took place after II o'clock they
would be dismissed for the remainder Of
the session. but II il occurred before
that hour they must return TO school.
The parade took place at 10 o'clock.
and all returned with the exception
Of fifteen boys and n few Girls.
The principal gave the boys who had
discbeyed his rules the choice OF three
pd1ishments, a severe fiogging. suspen-
SIGN until the next meeting OF the
Board of Education. or losing the privi-
iege OF going home after examination
next week.
They chose the fiogging. and Pro-
lessor O'Day, securing a piece of hose,
after having It tried on himself to his
satisfaction by an assistant principal.
gave them their medicine Some Of the
BOYS parents are very indignant, but
tho general impression is that the prin-
cipal was right.
The Washington times., 1904-06-08

Il think IL jackson had not made
his splendid campaign in the valley.
Mcclellan might have captured Rich
mond, because McDowells corps. which
he had expected to re-enfOrce him,
would have done so. and thus enabled
him 60 extend his right flank around
IN the direction Of Brook turnpike and
turn the left Of General Lees army.
Defeated by Strategy.
''If Jackson had remained In the val
ley. Mcdowell might have united with
Mcclellan, outfianked General Lee and
taken Richmond AS it was, General
Lee used Jackson to flank Mcclellan
here Just as he did TO turn Hooker g
right flank at Chancellorsville.
The records indicate the most cordial
sympathy by Lincoln with Mcclellan.
When the latter reported his defeat be-
fore Richmond. the President promptly
wired expressing his deep regret and
the hope that re-enforcements would
soon enable Mcclellan TO resume the
Offensive. The tone of all OF Mr..
IJncoln's private messages TO General
Mcclellan indicated his earnest pur-
pose to comfort and help him In every
possible way.

Would Test Rights OF

er Non-Regstered Doctors May Serve as
Resident Physicians of Hospitals

Whether or not the fact that a resi-
dent physician. or inferno. of a hos
itnI in Washington, who fulfllls medi-
cal and practitioners duties without hav-
ing become a duly registered physician.
is an open violation of the laws OF the
District of Columbia. is the question
that confronts the Board of Medical
Supervisors and the local medical pro-
session-
The matter has never been tested
in the courts. as no arrest on such
charge has been made. This is ac-
counted for mainly by the fact that the
Board of Medical Supervisors is a.
pointed TO issue licenses. but not to
enforce the license laws.
An UndeTtaker's Complaint.
The question has been brought up by
the declaration of the Health Officer.
recently made. that a local undertaken
was delayed nearly twelve hours in re-
moving dead body from the Wash
inRton Asylum Hospital on account Of
the resident physician, not duly quail

death certificate.

The man has invented a process Tor

and professions 20 follow. The police
saw he prefers TO lOiter around dipping

me the managers of the local hospitals
would put themselves in a much better
light IL they would require their resi-
dent physicians to register as qualified
doctors"
Has Great Responsibility.
Persons interested in the case have in
dicated that a resident physician OF a
hospital is essentially a practicing ply
sician. On him devolves the RESPONSE
bility of the first diagnosis when a case
is brought to the hospital. often he has
to decide whether II is necessary to cali
in the visiting physician. In other
words. he has to know his business. and
TO have a thorough knowledge OF medi-
cal practice.
In view of these things. II Is held, the
resident physician is necessarily prac-
titioner, and one on whom important
duties devolve. The District law says
every practitioner shall pay his $40. pass
the examination of the Board of Medi-
cal Supervisors, and have his name
registered as practicing physician.
Taking these things into consideration
there Is thought TO be a strong proba-
bility that some action will be taken &c
determine the legal status, In the Police
Court, Of the resident physicians Of tho
hospitals of Washington. Some Of these
have taken the examination required by
law. but the majority. II IS understood
