HOUSE HAS PASSED
OSTE0PATH BOARD BILL
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, April 20:-Osteopaths of
the state succeeded In getting the bill
giving them an examining board of
their own, passed by the House yes
terday afternoon. The regular
doctors also had their bill, advanc-
ing the requirements for medical
practicve In general and regulating
the osteopaths in particular, passed.
Both measures received just thirty
one votes, the number required for
approval by the House.
In winning their fight the osteo-
paths have their first victory In the
conflict with the regular" school
that has lasted for years. The bill
was defeated once this year, but
Speaker Kenny's Change from NO"
to Aye" yesterday gave it the need
ed vote.
The regular" school bill would
rnnko the s> s.aaAined by
the present board In all subjects the
same as other physicians excepting
materia medica and therapeutics. 1t
would permit the o~steopaths to have
an auxiliary committee of their own,
also to pass upon the fitness of AN
didates, for osteopathie practice. By
this bill the preliminary require
ments for all doctors are also ad-
vanced and by 1915 qualifications
equivalent to a college degree will
be expected.
The osteopaths, however, want q
boadr OF their own and the fight will
be continued into the Senate.

chase the property by representing
thai 1t was a desirable investment.
According to the indictment a pro-
spectus sent through the mails by
Mr.. Appleby described the land Al
consisting of a tract in northern New
Jersey. devoted entirely to dairying,
the land being high and dry, with
a healthy situation and suitable for
summer homes, stock raising and
agricultural purposes. 1t was repre-
sented that the land was divided n I
building lots and laid out Into streets
and as shown on a map &C
companying the prospectus.
Mountain Wilderness.
The indictment further charged
that these representations were false
and known to be false by Appleby.
The facts as set out in the Indictment
were that the tract known as Hyde
Park consisted of 800 acres on Blue
Mountain, removed from any high
way and practically inaccessible. The
land was described as situated in a
wilderness with a heavy growth OF
underbrush so rank and tangled as
to be most difficult to walk through.
The property was not laid out, and
according to the indictment was en-
tirely useless for building purposes,
stock raising or agricultural pur-
poses.
Appleby also figured in bank
ruptcy proceedings begun in August,
1905, when he filed a voluntary petit
ton setting forth that-he had lfabtl-
tiles Of $12,026 and assets Of $3,471.
He was finally discharged In bank
ruptcy. December 5, 1910, or more
than five years after the proceedings
were begun. In 1905 Appleby was
acting as a manufacturers agent
and commission merchant, with
Offices at 256 Church street, New
York. The discharge in bankruptcy
was opposed by a number of credi-
tors. one of the grounds being that
on June 16, 1904, Appleby made a
false report to the r. G. Dur Mer-
camille Agency, in which he set forth
that he had assets amounting to
$4,000.
The referee in bankruptcy report
ed that while Appleby might have
known that he had misstated his re-
sources 1t was not showed that he
had referred any Of his creditors to
the report made to the mercantile
agency or that he had in any way
used 1t as a means of obtaining
credit. Upon these grounds the
referee held that the discharge in
bankruptcy should not be refused, a
ruling which was subsequently sus-
tanned by the court.

JAPAN RESENTS
LOAN TO CHINA
Toxic Dispatches Character
ize is as UnfrisndIy Act

Picking, April 20.-The discovery that
some part of the revenues Of the Man
churian provinces has been allotted as
part of the security for the four power
loan of s50,0O0,000 to China has
aroused deep resentment In Japan.
Tokyo dispatches state that the semi
official press teens with bitter criti-
cism, characterizing the loan as an I'M
friendly act, since the powers holding
this security have an opportunity to
interfere in various questions which
may arise hereafter.
China is severely censured for dis
regarding Japan's and Russla's con
tentions hat they have superior rights
In Manchuria.
Throughout China the opinion pre-
walls that Japan is preparing some
coup designed to prevent China, If pos
sibIe, from investing the proceeds of
the loan in Manchurian development.
Japan's press in China is endeavor-
ing to infame the Chinese people by
asserting that the four power loan Is
purely political and inspired by the
determination TO bring about the par
tition of China.
