FAKE MEDICAL
MEN IN SWARMS
Frauds Find Rich Harvest
Among Visitors to Famous
Eastern Summer Resort.

Atlantic City, n. J.-ArOused by the dis
closures of the wholesale illegal medical
practice of so-called doctors who reap
a rich harvest from unsOphisticated hotel
patrons during the summer, local physi-
clans, headed by DR.. z. E. Parker, have
started a crusade to jail offenders and
drive the frauds from the city. Arrests
of at least a dozen OF the fraudulent
practitioners against whom corps Of
private detectives have been buSily gain
ing evidence. will be an early step taken
by the Atlantic City profession, County
Prosecutor Abbott having notified Dr.
Parker that his office would cooperate
in the movement.
The scandal of the illegal practice of
medicine in resort hotels will probably
involve both the county and the state
medical societies. Appeals nave been
made to both sides. and lists Of legally
examined doctors entitled to practice III
New Jersey have been forwarded to the
local head OF the crusade by secretary
John W. Bennett Of the state board OF
medical examiners. Comparison OF Jhls
list with names of physicians whose
practice has been traced by detectives
shows that rot one of a score or more
has taken the prescribed examinations.
Further investigation has shown that
strangers, claiming to be physicians, have
made agreements with hotel prOpTletors
70 board with their families in the house
for the summer in return for recOmmen-
dations from the desk when guests call
for medical attendance. Some of these
doctors it is alleged. are medical col
lege students, who have failed to pass
examinations in any state, and without
even the formality Of opening an office
are reaping a richer harvest than many
local officials Of high standing.
Many local physicians suddenly found
their lucrative hotel practice shut off,
says DR.. Parker, land investigation dis
closed the presence of a small army of
these unregistered practitioners. While
some few have small practices in other
states which they can give up for the
summer, the majority we intend TO prove
are unsuccessful students of the lowest
character. from Philadelphia and New
York institutions.
Hotel proprietors are undoubtedly ig-
norant Of the conditions and of the stern
law on the subject, that requires IL
cense for every physician practictng IN
the state. Many of these ''quacks' are
not only able to cover their expenses Of
a summer seashOTe outing, but clear up
big money besides. Our detectives have
found that some of these hotel doctors
are really doing a business larger than
many local members Of the profession,
who have passed the stern New Jersey
examinations and have diplomas, and We
intend to either run them out of town or
put some Of them in jail

What may be called an echo of the
giant powder explosion at Beck's Hot
Springs July was heard in the district
court yesterday, when John L. Spencer
brought suit for So 1O9 70 against the Ore
gon Short Line railroad for damages to
his property.
Spencer says the explosion broke all the
windows in his house. demolished most Of
the furniture and otherwise damaged the
place. One of the grounds for the suit
is the charge that the company violated
the city ordinances by allowing the cars
loaded with powder to stand on the tracks
within the city limits.

Webb that an eccentric man was at
large in the street, and behaving
most unusually. His strange coa-
duct aroused the notice of residents
of the neighborhood, who became
alarmed and called for help. Sheriff

disturbance, but in the meantime the
wild man had departed for the heart
of the city. A few minutes later he
rushed into the Seattle bar, exclaim-
ing that he was being pursued by
designing persons who had chased
him from the hills above Leaven-
