Oklahoma Medical School Approved.

The following message was recently
received by Dean Robert F. Williams
of the Oklahoma University School OF
Medicine from Dr. A. S. Downing, first
assistant commissioner of education
of the state of New York:
"This is TO inform you that at a
meeting of the board of regents of the
state Of New York, the School of Med
ieine of the University of Oklahoma
was formally registered as school OF
medicine"
This recognition is one that is much
coveted, and which is not at all easy
to obtain as may be seen from the fact
that about the same time the Okla
homa school was approved, the ban
was placed on twenty-five medical
schools including a number which are
supposed to be doing work of high
grade.
The effect of this ban is to prevent
the graduates of these medical col
leges from practicing medicine in the
state of New York
Some of these schools failed to gain
recognition because they did not have
the right amount of instructors, and
others because they failed to conform
to certain requirements of the New
York regents which they must do be-
fore recognition will be granted them
The School of Medicine of the Uni
yersity of Oklahoma has been making
marked progress in the past two years
The school has an excellent hospital
and lecture hall at S17-25 East 4th
street in Oklahoma City, and the stu
dents have abundant clinical facilities,
as they have access not only to the
clinics in this hospital, but to a mum
Der of other hospitals in Oklahoma
City. The work of the third and fourth
years is carried on in Oklahoma City
while that of the first two years is
done at Norman, as a regular part OF
the university's work.

man had raised this year from six to
eight thousand pheasants and many
hundreds of wild ducks and geese.
What others can do we can do, provid-
ed, of course, we have men who under

DELEWARE COUNTY
IN CIVIL WAR
New Jay And Old Jay Clash Again
over County Seat-Militia is
Ordered Out.

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. l0.-A SER
ious riot is threatened at Jay, the
county seat of Delaware county, Ok
lahoma tonight. The trouble is a
climax to the county seat fight which
has been waged for months between
two rival factions in the town, one at
New Jay and the other at Old Jay.
The situation is so delicate that Gov
Iernor Cruce has been asked to send
a detachment of the state militia to
the town to quell the disturbance. The
telephone wires leading out of Jay
have been "purposely cut" according
to the telephone operator at Grove,
the former county seat. 1t is known,
however, that Sheriff II. p. Thoma-
sou has advised District Judge John
+. Pitchford Of Tahlequah, of the sit
uation and has asked him to appeal
to Governor Cruce to send the militia,
Judge Pitchford is holding court at
lStilwell.
According to the best information
mob of about 100 heavily armed
men entered Jay late today and i'm
mediately took possession of the court
house and records located at New
/ Jay. They have taken the peace Of
ficers into custody and reports say
they threatened to destroy or remove
the records to Old Jay. Sheriff Thorn
ason says he is unable to cope with
the situation.
The county seat fight has been one
| of the bitterest political fights in the
history of Eastern Oklahoma. After
Jay defeated Grove for the county
seat fight developed between two
factions at Jay One claimed Old Jay
was the proper county seat and the
other claimed New Jay was the legal
location OF the court house. The fight
went to the state supreme court which
decided the court house should be 10.
Ieated at New Jay The records at
that time were at Old Jay and the
situation became so critical that Gov
|ernor Cruce dispatched Adjutant Gen
eral Frank Canton to the Oklahoma
state militia to remove the records to
the place designated by the court. In
the meantime an injunction was is.
sued by the supreme court enjoining
the removal of the records, but before
it could be served, Adjutant General
