who had complied with the regula-
lions" he called It up and asked yeri-
fcation.
He claims that the authorities of the
hospital answered, Eyes, to all except
you.
Another item of offense which he
debts up to the Queens is an incl
dent over the sister of George Beck
ley. AS he was forced to secure hos
pital accommodations, he asked the Of
fcials if he could bring her there, and
they answered in the affirmative. pro-
viding he would comply with the rules.
He assured them, he says. that he
would comply with anything, and she
was taken to the institution.
Then he claims that although he was
to be admitted as assistant to Doctor
Irwin, he was refused admission after
the woman was in the hospital, and
was forced 10 remove her and take
her to the japanese Hospital.
Charges Answered.
In regard to the charge preferred
against the Queen s Hospital by Doe
tor O'Day, in connection with his al
legged debarment, George W. Smith,
one of the trustees, quoted last night
the following extract from the rules of
the institution:
''Any physician resident of this
Territory and licensed to practise by
the territorial government may apply

to the secretary Cor membership of
the honorary board of this hospital
Such application shall include a signed
acceptance of the rules and regulations
of the hospital and shall be presented
and considered at the next following
meeting Of the board of trustees.
Mr.. Smith stated that Doctor o Day
had never presented such application
to the hospital, although he once ask
ed for copy of the rules, which was
given him. No man who has ever ap-
Piled. said Mr.. Smith. has ever been
denied admission This, coming from
such an authoritative source, seems to
settle that question.
Nh. Smith s recollection Of the Beck
lev incident is not clear, but he states
that, to the best Of his knowledge, she
was admitted to the hospital, but as
O'Day was not on the honorary staff
he could not be admitted to attend
her and her relatives had her removed.
She afterwards died.
Association Moderate.
Doctor Collins, present secretary of
the medical association, when seen last
night at the Moana Hotel, stated that
the medical organization had no desire
to "persecute Doctor O'Day, and al
though the members individually had
nothing whatever against him, as a
whole they objected to his manner of
complaint against them and its wide
circulation

ZELAYA'S TROOPS ARE
ROUTED by INSURGENTS

Washington, Dec. II Zelaya'!
troops were routed by the Nlcarag guar
revolutionists today in a fierce battle
at Rama, lasting several hours, ac.

The battle Is to be renewed tomorrow

! government forces.
There is some doubt as to the extent
! of Estrada's success. From revoiu
tionary sources the word is sent that
victory over the Zelayan troops is
complete. The state department has
received word from Thomas II. Mof-
fatt, United States consul at Blue
fields. that Estrada had partially
routed and defeated the friends of
Zelaya." IL is hgrced. however, that
the moral effect of such initial success
on the part of the revolutionists can
hardly be exaggerated.
The first announcement of the sue
cess of the Estrada army came in a
cablegram to DIR. castrillo representa- =
tive here of the provisional govern
ment signed "Diaz" Diaz is secretary
of state for the provisional govern
ment
The cablegram said:
Complete victory is ours. Zclaya s.
troops are In retreat
Later this evening the state depart
ment gave out the following message
from Consul Moffatt. which had been
sent by wireless from Colon:
Estrada forces at Tatumbula and
Recro. near Rama, commanded by
General MeDa at the former place and

Il am of course sorry that Mr..

Luna yesterday. while there is no
objection to Mr.. Foraker, and while
in view of the sharp contest made for
the position his reappointment may be
looked upon as a satisfactory settle

received the endorsement of a major

to see him appointed. Mr.. Foraker,
