MEDICAL STUDENTS
CHARGE FAvORITISM
ASSERT EXAMINATIONS ARE
CONDUCTED UNFAIRLY
Candidates from the North Declared
to Have Received List of Cues
tions and other Un-
Just Aid

Trouble seems to be brewing among
the medicos on the part of the would
be medicos, and it is said that serious
charges have been preferred to the state
board of medical examiners with re-
gard to the alleged partiality shown to
northern medical students appearing
before the board for licenses.
1t Is reported that the charges will be
that the northern men from the Cooper
medical school and the University of
California were given preference over
the Los Angeles men, and that out or
the forty-six students from Southern
California who went to take the exam
nations twenty-six were turned down,
while out of forty from the Cooper
school only three We're rejected. 1t Is
understood that the accusation will be
made that the northern men were given
lists of questions and allowed the use
of ponies" and other aids.
In all probability the state board will
be called in a special meeting. DR.. j.
Park Dougall. president of the board,
Was not at his residence last night and
nothing definite could be ascertained
there, but other Los Angeles members
OF the board had not heard anything of
the special meeting, although 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the charges have
been preferred. 1t would be necessary
for the notification of the meeting to
come. from the secretary of the board,
who resides in San Francisco.
Aside from DR.. Dougall, the presi-

Many of the inquiries are from wom-

advance of their husbands, fathers ana
brothers, to look over the situation un-
til the male members can cut clear OF

This advance guard of women will

Anticipating a heavy fall rush, the
express companies, hotels, tourist bu-

beats them to the rag will earn all the

wise ones are picking the Cubs to win,
but they are overlooking the greatest
baseball general in the game today,
Johnny McGraw, whose Giants did not
seem strong enough to make re-
spectacle showing when the season
opened. He made wholesale trades and
purchases until he now has a team
that has class and staying powers and
the pennant race seems TO narrow down
to a fight between the two great base
ball generals-McGraw and Chance.

Railroad Officials Look for Heavy

Settlers to Cali
fornla

Immediately after midnight this
morning the fall colonist rates went
into effect on eastern railroads, and the
first trains for the west carried the
first of the thousands of pilgrims who
will go to California and, charmed by
the state, will stay and bring others
west later.
History will repeat itself in 1908 as it
has been doing for many years. All
railroad officials say the trayel will be
greater than ever, which means that
for every colonist who comes there will
be others drawn here by the influence
of that one man.
Advices to the officials in Los Ange-
les are that there will be a heavy start
for which the companies are prepared
to put on extra equipment as needed.
The first of the colonists will get here
Friday night.
Preparing for Rush
The office forces of the Southern Pa

received many kilograms and letters
yesterday bearing on the subject, much

traffic, mechanical and other depart

or orders conveyed.

MISPLACED RIDICULE.

When the committee on laws of the Board of
Aldermen unanimously approved OF the reso-
luton prohibiting women from smoking III
public places Little Tim Sullivan must have
uuivered with pride. If so, he had good reason
for giving way to his emotions In the hrst
place it is immensely satisfactory to be the
hero who VIGOROUSLY battles against the
legions of Sin. In the second place, it is most
pleasing to discover method Of crushing Vice
TO earth which commands the instant respect
and approval Of every moral citizen. And in
the third place, ought not a New York City
alderman to eIult in the thought of having cor
rected a widespread error touching the morals
and craftsmanship of his colleagues! There
should not be drop of wormwood in the foam
ing beaker of Mr.. Sullivan's happiness on this
momentous occasion, in spite of the sneering
critics who basely hint that the Bowery re-
former is q trifer.
Such unkind remarks disturb neither their
butt nor anybody who knows him. The fact Is,
to accuse Mr.. Sullivan of trifing on the pres
ent occasion is to confess ignorance of his
unusual qualifications as a moral censor. Mr..
Sullivan is an expert on Righteousness, being
one of the high counsellors at the Court of
Fourteenth Street whose task 1t is to discover
honest and respectable candidates for munc-
pal and county Offices 1t follows. therefore,
according to logic's sternest laws, that Mr.. Sui
livan knows a good thing when he sees lt ana
q wicked one from afar. He knows how to
separate purely moral issue from one involv-
ing practical considerations; and, as the
champion of simon-pure virtue, he shuns all
moral legislation that is contaminated by intri-
cate economic and social details, such as sweat
shop reform, poolroom suppression, tenement
supervision, penny arcade taxation, and the
like. Until his critics recognize his unusually
developed power of disentangling virtue from
practical affairs the notion may persist that
Little Tim was insincere when he declared at
the public hearing: II know of no stronger ef
fort to make to do public good than for the
Board of Aldermen to go on record against
women smoking in public" But, as matter
of fact Mr.. Sullivan knew precisely what he
was talking about He was speaking of purely
neral issues. And he knows that every such
issue more important than that raised by his
crusade against the Termination of nicotine
was definitely and clearly settled ago.
Furthermore he WIS speaking of the efforts for
public good that might lie put forth by the pres
ent Board of Aldermen. Fr0m this point Of
