sion that the city turn over TO the

his salary, and in order to further in
crease the fund. to play baseball in the
summer and give other benefits such
as is done in other cities where police
pension funds exist.

USEFULNESS OF BOARD OF TRADE.

r FFORTS are making to increase the mem-

and it is to be hoped that the total of members
will reach more than FIVE hunderd. Those con-
cerned in the Board of Trade should receive all
possible encouragement The Board of Trade
in Wilmington has really developed into a sort
of town meeting for the expression of views for
the welfare Of Wilmington. It's meetings are
always interesting. The favorable report Of the
Commission on the Chesapeake and Delaware
Ship Canal showed what could be accomplished
by intelligent action on the part Of the Board Of
Trade Let that body go forward in the good
work; it has already accomplished much, and it
will yet place Wilmington in the position that it
ought TO occupy.

M. P. Conference Declares
Boyd Had No Right to Min

Special to The Evening journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
CLAYTON, Jan. 25-The Rev. Alex
ander c. Boyd was legally dispossessed
from his parsonage by the action Of
Magistrate Satterfeld's court in Dover
yesterday and must get out, even in
the zero weather, If the high authori-
ties Of the Maryland Conference Of the
Methodist Protestant Church insist
upon it.
The action before Magistrate Sat-
terfield was brought by President II.
T. Little. of the Maryland Conference,
who himself appeared on the witness
bench, and testified, together with a
number of witnesses from Clayton.
Pastor Boyd was assigned as the
pastor of Clayton or Ewelrs M. p.
Church last April, having come into
the Maryland Conference on creden-
tials from the Kansas Methodist Epis-
copal Conference.
soon afterward, communication was
received from the Kansas M. r. Con-
ference, declaring that Mr.. Boyd had
no right to present credentials from
that conference. Other correspondents
/ followed and Mr.. Boyd was ordered to
vacate the pulpit OF Clayton and a
supply was sent. Following a series Of
disputes over the matter, Mr.. Boyd
finally vacated and began a civil ac-
tion against the conference authorities
individually for $4,000 damages.
The trial in the Dover court was be-
fore three referees, one selected BY
each side and the third selected by
them, and sworn before the magistrate
OF late the pastor has been conducting

Pastor Boyd put in no defense. The
general belief is that he viii make his
fight against eviction on the ground
that he was assigned 70 the church
and parsonage for one year and M
power can deprive or evict him unit

that he obtained his pastorate upon &
misrepresentation Of his parchments
and therefore nullihed his right to en-.
joy any OF the emoluments Of sucl

FAVOR Ex-MAYOR'S PLAN
Some Contention Over Certain Points
in New City Charter.


II has been stated that since there
was some contention over points In
volved in the new city charter many
have expressed themselves in favor Of
the general commission plan, which
was proposed by Former Mayor Dr.
Evan G. Shortlidge, when he was IN
office.
Under this plan the number OF wards
would remain as at present and City
Councils membership would remain
the same Council would be given the
authority to grant all franchises, make
all appropriations and make all laws
for the city. The actual executive
work Of the city government would
then be placed IN the hands OF four
commissioners appointed IN such man-
ner that the terms OF an would not ex-
pire at the same time and these COM
missioners would be chosen two from
each OF the great political parties. In
case Of a tie the mayor would have a
vote and this would be fair to the party
In power because II would give it the
actual control OF the city government
and make II responsible for It.

LET THE REQUIREMENTS BE FAIR

THE proposed law regulating the practice of
u medicine should be carefully examined be-
fore it is passed, even though our friends the
learned physicians insist upon its adoption
There is one thing in it that should be rejected.
This requires, as we understand it, that man
should have a school diploma which would quail
ify him to enter the Latin Scientific course Of
Delaware College, for instance, in addition to his
medical diploma, before he can practice med-
cine This is nonsense. We have State Med
ical Examining Board which scrutinizes every
applicant for the privilege of practicing medicine.
"A good physician should not necessarily have
sufficient knowledge to permit him to qualify for
the Latin Scientific course in Delaware College
or any other institution.
A graduate of the Wilmington High School
who has pursued successfully course in a re-
cognized medical college and who can pass the
examination before the medical board, certainly
should be qualified to practice medicine.
The State examining boards are the courts of
last resort They are a protection against the
delinquencies of the medical colleges. Many of
our good physicians have never had the qualih-
cations which they now seek to impose upon the
coming doctors
