BOARD REYOKES
YOUNG'S LICENSE
The Charge Was EXtOrting
Money From Patients.
FIVE HEARINGS WERE HELD
Psychological Effect" Claimed by Doc
tor as Reason for Exorbi-
tant Charges.

The Board of Medical Supervisors Of
the District of Columbia yesterday af-
ternoon revoked the license OF DR.. sam
al V Young to practice medicine In
the District This decision. which was
unanimous, was reached as the result
Of five hearings in the case OF Dr.
Y0ung. who was on trial before the
board for .'unprofessionaI and dishonor-
able conduct In eXtorting money from
his patients.
The hearings have extended over a
period OF two months. and at the hnal
one yesterday the only new evidence
introduced was the deposition Of the de-
PENDANT, who is at present in Denver
Col The statements in his deposition
were made 10 show that he had not
been guilty of eXtortion in charging as
much as $50 or 500 for electric appli-
ances FOR patients which, it was al
legged. could have been bought for -

Psychological Effect"
The explanation advanced by Dr.
Young for these high charges was that
he had TO ask a good deal for the cleo
tic machines in order 20 make the pa
tents have faith in the efficacy OF the
treatment he recommended for their all
logical effect Of these high prices was
extremely valuable. as a man would
naturally have little faith in the effec-
tiveness of a device that cost but little.
He admitted that he had charged con-
siderably more for the appliances tnan
he had paid for them. but ne advanced
the defense that the machines We're nee
essarv for the cure Of his patients and
that he always agreed 10 buy them
back IL the patients so desired lie gave
4 NnH
chine back although witnesses mad tes-
titled before the board that they had
asked him TO do this but had been I'M
able to get him to fulfill his promise.
Advised It's Purchase.
He said that he had treated the FIVE
witnesses who testified against him be-
fore the board. They were W. J. Car
ner. Charles Selzle, Walter Dulin, NJ. ".
Shart. and G. r. Collar. lie also ad-
rnitted that ne had advised them 10 90
tain from him the electrical belts or
appliances. He said, however, thar none
Of them had asked him personally to
buy the machines in again.
Attorney W. II. Robson. wn0 has a9-
peared at all the hearings for Dr..
Young. argued the case at some length
and claimed that the doctor ana ms
patients had a right TO agree on any
prices they chose. and that ii was not
the business OF anyone else TO say
whether ar not such prices We're wrong.
He gave no reason for the absence Of
DR.. Young from the hearings, although
the board had repeatedly sail they
thought the physician ought 90 have
appeared to testify IN his own behalf.

ZangwilI and Zionism.

The movement known as "Zionism"
 is one that must appeal irresistab'y to the individual whose imagination is of a quality that permits him to dream splendid dreams. It is not remarkable that man like Israel Zangwill should be carried away by it and that ne should consider not impossible of ac- complishment the task Of arousing in this country a general enthusiasm for the movement. Not a Jew in the world probably who has heard of and who ed for brief space the golden vision of a nation remade and been thrilled by it's promise.
 Yet to persuade the Jews of this country to make real this vision would require a greater man than the en- thusiast, Zangwill. Here they are not an alien people. They are the fellow countrymen of all those various other peoples that comprise the American nation. They are united to these by the closest ties of friendship. They are attached to the country by the strong bond of genuine patriotism. They are prosperous, contented, happy. There is nothing to persuade them to assume the leadership of a Zion movement but the flash of a vision." And the power of this to move any people in the pres ent day and age will be doubted by many.
 Unless the American Jews do assume the leadership new Jerusalem will not arise in the east. If every Jew in Russia today was to declare in favor of the new Zion it would still remain an improbable achievement, for it re- quires for the success the closest CO., operation of the Jews Of all countries and of all classes. In America and in western Europe are to be found the most self-reliant, the best educated and the most progressive of the race. But these who could furnish the nec- essary leaders are most averse to the movement.
 What the future holds for the Jews no one living knows. If the old proph- ecy is realized in it's literal sense a new Jerusalem is probable in this world. It may be that man will some day rise who will have the power to stir his people to their very depths and compel them to forget everything else and fol- low him to another Zion. But the av- craze man realizing that political con- ditions are changing in those eoun- tries that are the most unfriendly to the Jews and that the Cbangae Y,o,,St inevitably benefit theml and appreciat-

ferences of opinion, they recognize above all things the value of co-Opera- tion and are doing much good both for themselves end the town, by relegat- ing personality to the background and stimulating organized hustling. Co., operation is bound to beget more or less sociability, and last night sociabil- ity and good fellowship were the reign ing influences.
 There was in fact, no notion of doing any work until after the play had been finished. For that reason the ban quet came first and it was gene into with as much zest as though there were to be 4 commission under each plate at the finish. Indirectly perhaps there will be. H. l. Latham, the re- tiring president, sat at the head of the table and directed affairs with great eclat. Speechmaking was perpetual but individually brief, the bon mot Eeigning supreme and being handed out promiscuously by all as the spirit moved
 At the conclusion of the banquet a business session was held. The only routine matter to dispose of was the election of new officers. which lesulted in the following choice: Dwight E Heard, president; J. T. Dunlap, vice president; w. M. Fickas, secretary and treasurer; R. H. Greene, J. Ernest Walker and E. F. Pascoe, directors. A vote of thanks was passed to the re- tiring officers for their efficient ser vices.
 Naturally the statehood news given currency Yesterday, was leading tGp- ic of discussion during the evening. There was no difference of opinion among the board concerning its atri- trde, but the question that pr1senued itself was whether or not there couii be anything done to help matters. It was thought that the least that could be done would be to try, so q carefully wCrded telegram of protest against he jointure was construc,e ed, passed by the board and sent by the secretary last night to the senate.

Printing the News.

. There are several publications in Arizona which purport to print the news. The Republican is the only pa per which prints the news while it is news. Within the last four days, for example, The Republican exclusively has made it known
 That President Roosevelt had select ed Governor Brodie to command the guard of honor which will escort the president from the White house to the capitol and thence to the White house again, on inauguration day, and that Governor Brodie will select the person nel of this guard of honor;
 That the panic in stocks in New York had caused Col William c. Greene to proclaim that he would go to Boston and do some business personally with Thomas W. Lawson;
 That the senate committee on ter ritories would favorably report on Thursday (yesterday) the house bill admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state.
 And in addition to special dispatches of which the foregoing are type, The, Republican every day receives and publishes more general telegraphic news than do all the other papers in the territory, combined.

The Statehood Bill.

It looks as if the people will have chance to decide at the polls whether the proposed state of Arizona. compris- ing the territories of New Mexico and Arizcna, shall be created. The senate committee on territories yester- day reported the bill favorably. If the measure is made the unfinished busi- ness of the senate after the passage of the Philippine bill today it will re- main before the senate until disposed of by vote. Gaining the right of way at the very beginning of the session, it has a tactical advantage which in sures it's passage if it is made a party measure. A f1libuster, to be effective would have to sidetrack all other busi- ness in the senate except appropriation bills As has been pointed out so ire quently in these columns, it is prepos- terous to expect anything from a fiji buster by the minority if the bill has the support of the majority's steering committee.
 It must be beaten by republicans, if it is beaten in the senate. Accordingly it is well, as Governor Brodic and Mr. B. A. Fowler have suggested, that boards of supervisors commercial bod ies, business houses and citizens gener- ally should send their protests to the senate. Such protests may lead some republican senators to withdraw their support from the bill, notwithstanding that the senate has had abundant op- portunity to learn the sentiments of Arizona on the question. The territo- rial conventions of both parties strong ly protested against the bilI both plat forms denounced it. In addition to that, Governor Brodie, former Cover nor Murphy, Judge Kibbey, B. A. Fow- der, R. B. Morrison, F. M. Murphy, E. s. Clark, and many other prominent republicans have protested time and again. Their protests were ineffective. because Arizona went democratic on the Sth of November. But that cannot now be helped.
 There is every reason. however, why it should be made clear to republican senators that there has been no change in the sentiments of cur people on this question.

sell several thousand shares Of my stock to protect myself. I got back about 30, GOO shares of it today. I own 252, 900 of the S64, 900 shares of the stock. have bought more than 160,000 shares in the last two weeks"
 Upon learning of Greene's proclama- tion, Lawson issued tL1s counter proc lamation:
 My dear Colonel: carefully scanned the picture drawn by you for me in this mornings papers. Boiled down, it is: I have said certain things to the people of America which have interfered with the game of the "F'ren- zied Financiers'' of Wall street. Be cause of what I said the people for the first time in the history of stocks got the drop on the system and unloaded onto "Frenzied Financiers.'''
 'I admit your facts and will, if God spares my life, continue as I have be- gun, until the American people see the system in all it's beastly nakedness, until the people have the system be- heath their heels, and then, if it is within my power, will give the word, Crush it.
 You say you know me. You are right, you do. You have said to me
 
 are the only honest man have met in the stock game. I want to do business with you, and I will do it upon your own terms. for I know I will get square deal I know you for one of the biggest-hearted, squarest men I have ever met And notwithstanding your mean, insane attack upon me this morning, have the fairness to repeat it
 You say I attempted to rob you and your Greene company. You know you lie You brought me your Greene Con solidated company and said: Lawson, you are the only man on earth whom I would trust with it. I took it and for five months ran it and paid all it's expenses to an amount, I think. of over $100.0O0. Then I had MT. Rogers best experts examine it and when they reported it as no good I went to you like a man and said, T returIf it to you and take my loss.'
 Now for your threats. I know you are a brave man. I know, not only because you have told me, but because have verified it, that you have notch es on your gun to mark where you went up against men in Arizona and Mexico, and I know you have made some Of the leaders of the system give over their schemes to ruin you. simply by calling their attention to the fact that you were going to "call upon them at their ofice;' but let me say to you, you have picked the wrong customer. You. or any of those who have egged you on, or any of the dir ty CUTS of the system, may come to my office or any other place that is convenient or accessible, and when you I xx-s1l r.
 And there the matter stands, at this writing. The statehood question must take care of itself for a while. All will forget everything else while it is being decided whether a Boston dude can pick an Arizona mans pockets of a million and a half, defy the Arizona man to his teeth, 1 mock at his record as a gun fighter, and call him a liar. with impunity.

The Greene-Lawson War.

New York has been talking of noth- ing for a week but the panic in stocks caused or engineered by Thomas Law son. Arizona we suppose, should take pride in the fact that one of her emil nent citizens has been one of the most prominent figures during the battle of financial giants. The Hon. William c. Greene, finding that the shares of the Cananea company had declined from SS4 to ST. or thereabouts, a share, fol- lowed Lawson into the public prints and published half-page advertisements denouncing Lawson. What is more, Col. Greene, as was told in our special dispatches from Boston the other day, published in these advertisements that he proposed to go to Boston next day, and visit MT. Lawson in his office. The inference was that Col. Greene propos- ed to deal with MT. Lawson after the traditional Arizona style. New York was not only excited; it was elated. It was highly interesting to think of the big Arizonian going to Boston with his big Arizona gun and creating a subject for the Boston coroner in Lawson's of flee. Since then the special dispatches have contained further details of the war between Greene and Lawson. At last accounts Col. Greene was postpon- ing his trip to Boston, but was ex- blaming that it was a mere temporary detention.
 "I didn't go to Boston because I was needed here,'' the Hearst papers report Greene as saying. T was boiling over with anger last night when I sent that half-page advertisement to the news papers denouncing Lawson. I shall visit Lawson, however, and make my word good. Lawson never attacked my Greene Consolidated Copper stock, but the crash in it came as a direct result of his attack on copper shares in gen. eral. l have lost S1,50O000 in the last two days through Lawson.
 Thinking it over last night, I be- came so angry that I went to a sten- ographer and dictated that letter to Lawson and sent it to the newspapers without even reading it over.
 Lawson says he knows me well. never met him except in connection with Q deal four years ago. l then turned my mine over to him, and af- ter failing to dispose of it, he turned it back to me. He loaned me so much money he thought | couldn't pay it, and then called it at 11:3O at night on the last day, thinking I would have to let him take my mine. I am worth $15,00O, 900. and shall use every dollar of it if need be to protect my stock holders. The Greene copper stock is worth $100 share. I have control of the company; I don't believe the AmaI- gamated wants it. My interest is not for sale. Lawson's raid forced me to
