GOVERNOR FORT, OF JERSEY,
WON'T STAND FOR TACTICS
OF HEDICS.
Governor Fort lost his temper twice
today during a hearing he gave on the
Remsay bill, regulating the practice OF
osteopathy. Old line doctors favor the
bill, the OSteOpathS oppose it.
Mr. Lewis. counsel for the New Jersey
Medical Society. was urging the COVER
nor to sign the bill and declared the
governor had said in public speech
that he would do anything in his power
as governor to maintain the high
stands Of the medical profession in New
Jersey.
Il never made any such remark an
that Who told who this2" demanded
the governor.
L have it on very good authority
was the evasive answer.
Who is your authority insisted the
governor.
Or HaIsey." was the reply. DR.. Hal
sey is DR.. Luther Halsey of Williams
town"
Oh exclaimed the governor. 7
thought 1 was getting pretty close TO
the spot. You have been lying about
his index finger at DR.. Halsey-
This is not the first time the gov
ernOr went on. You lied about me- be-
fore l was a candidate for governor ard
have continued doing so ever since
have been governor You are the only
man who has tried to bulldoze me INTO
signing this bill
DR.. Halsey, his face bloOdleSs. at
tempted TO explain. but there was such
a hub-bub in the room that the COVER
nor declared the hearing adjourned.
DR.. William J. Schauffler, Of Lake
wood. had previously drawn the COVER
nOrs fire In speaking in favor OF the
hi he doctor narrated an incident
which he said demonstrated the falliSs1-
lty OF OsteOpaIhic practitioners
w hats the use talking like that 70
me the governor broke in. I'VE are
all liable 10 make mistakes. and the
medical fraternity is not exempt I have
known many Instances in which the di-
agnOsis of physicians have been at
fault. The gentleman who has Just
spoken has himself told me that he mas
had patients whom he sept 20 osteo-
paths for treatment. His own wife is
one of them I am another When 1 had
a broken rib last year DR.. Schauffler
himself advised me to consult an oSte-
opath.
It is pretty generally believed the bill
will be vetOed--New York Times April
