FORT DODGE, la, April 5.--(Special)- -
According to Or. Fox OF Calender. there
is medical trust" in Fort Dodge. and It
is his purpose to "annihilate such an un-
ethical combination" Toward this end he
has written letters which he had printed
and sent out wholesale to all physicians Of
this vicinity. asking them to attend the
session of the Webster County Medical
society Tuesday evening and try to settle
the matter quietly and peaceably."
The trust" referred to concerns the OPP
Grating done at Fort Dodges new hospital,
st. Josephs Mercy hospital, in operation
but little more than a year.
In his communication to physicians. which
though kept guarded, has came to public
knowledge DR.. Fox claims that four Fort
Dodge physicians. who are staff doctors
at the hospital, have. been exercising a mon
opoly on operations done there, on the
grounds that the hospital rules so de-
manded the patients immediate physl-
clans being privileged only to assist
Inquiring at the Mother house in Du-
buque, DR.. Fox states he received the sur
prised reply that no such rule exists and
that any physician can operate->b must
be assisted by staff physician. He cites
