0STEOPATHS BILLS
DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, April 5:-Osteopaths OF
the State met with defeat again yes
terday in their attempt 4 get a state
examining board Of thei, own, when
the House defeated their measure.
Efforts to get measure similar to this
through the legislature has been I'M
successfully tried for the past sever
al years.
In the absence of Mr.. Brown, who
introduced the bill, Mr.. MCGOWAN
explained that the ~osteopaths do not
desire to encroach upon the field of
medicine, as the bill would not per-
nit them to use drugs. He declared
there was need for such a bill. Mr..
Ramsay, who is a physician, asserted
that there is but n anatomy and
one physiology and the o~steopaths
should take an examination before
the regular school of physicians. He
declared that that cult had m%isrepre-
sented standards of education and
preliminary requirements and that
the schools of osteopathy are poorly
equipped with needful laboratories.
He spoke of mistakes that the osteo-
paths had made in treatment of all
ments and had gone so far that other
physicians could give no relief. Put
If you WILL" he declared, "the seal of
the state on a body of men unfit and
you are aiding and abetting crime.
This measure is vicious and can &C
complish no good but for one cult
alone"
Thirty-one votes are required to
pass a bill and the osteopaths had
mustered thirty of these. All kinds
of efforts were made to get the extra
ballot, but without success.

CITY HOTEL IS
NEARLY READY
Peter FIosrsch TO Start at
PlainfisId May |.

At an expense Of approximately
s42, 900, ali is being put in readi-
ness for the opening of the City Ho-
tel, Plainfeld, on May l, by Peter
Floersch, one of Perth Amboy's best
known citizens and for a time pro-
prietor of the leading hotel IN this
city, the Packer House.
Since March l, from which date
Mr.. Floersch's six years' lease on the
property runs, the owner of the
property, A. Stats, has had men at
work making the whole structure
practically new No labor or expense
has been spared TO make the hotel
modern in every respect and when
ready its equipment will bear favor
able comparison with any hostelry in
that section of the state.
Two Additions Made.
Two additions have been made to
the structure which is located in
Park avenue and Second street, three
doors from the new Plainield the
atre. These additions consist of
quarters for help and a new cafe. In
all, Mr.. Stats is spending about
$4,000 on the building for his new
lease-holder. Mr.. Floersch will
spent about $4,000 during the pres
ent month in furnishing the hosiery.
The furnishings will be new and
substantial throughout the entire
building.
There are about fifty rooms In the
hotel and each will be supplied with
a telephone. Three trunks will con-
meet the central switch in the Office

are being laid in the orlce and cafe,
this week, which will finish up Mr..
Stats work getting the building
ready for Mr.. Floersch.
William F1oersch Manager.
On the first floor of the hotel will
be the bar, office and restaurant.
This floor will be a mass of windows
around the sides, which Is an inno-
walton. The building is a four-story
structure. Mr.. Floersch's son, Will
lam Floersch, will act as manager.
The younger Mr.. Floersch, who is a
motor vehicle agent, will transfer
his headquarters in that particular
line from this city to his new scene
Of activity. 1t Is expected that the
new hotel will get much of the auto
mobile trade as 1t is right on the
line Of main automobile travel.
The new City Hotel has one of the
nine licenses in Plainfeld proper.
There are two others in what is
known as North Plainfield. When
1t is considered that Plainfleld Is
nearly as large as Perth Amboy and
the number of licenses in the two
places are compared, 1t can be seen
why there are expectations of a
large bar business.
The Floerschs are now living in
the Floersch apartments in Smith
street, this city, but will take up
their home In the new City Hotel
about April 20. They are: Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter F1oersch, William
