Trenton.-The State Board of Medi-
cal Examiners at its annual meeting
in Newark, refused to recognize Act
ing Governor F1elder's certificate of
aid, Of Trenton, a graduate of the Col
1ege of Physicians and Surgeons of
New York City, as a member of the
board to succeed DR.. Armin Uebe-
lacker, Of Morristown. The board
bases its action upon the contention
that DR.. Mcdonald is a member of the
"old school" of physicians, while DR..
Uebelacker is a ~homeopath. The law
which created the board provides that
1t shall consist Of five "old school,
physicians, three homeopathic, n
eclectic and one o%steopath. If DR.. Nc
Donald became a member of the board
1t would have, according to it's pres
ent members, six "old school, physi-
clans and only two ~homeopaths. Until
a %homeopath is appointed to succeed
him, DR.. Uebelacker will continue as
q member of the board. DR.. Nc
Donald presented his own certificate
of appointment, but the board was
unanimous in refusing to accept it.
Board Issues Licenses.
Besides being retained as a member
of the board, DR.. Uebelacker was
elected it's treasurer. The other Off
GERS named are DR.. Edwin Hill Bald
win, OF Newark, president, and DR..
H. G. Norton, Of Trenton, secretary.
DR.. Norton's certificate of reappoint-
ment as a member of the board was
received. The board voted to refuse
to issue licenses to graduates of the
New Jersey College of Osteopathy,
formerly located in P~assaic, which
has been defunct for several years.
Reports received showed that the
board last month conducted eXamina-
tons of f~orty-three physicians, thirty
one midwives and nineteen chiropo-
dists. AS a result licenses were issued
to forty physicians, nine midwives and
seven chiropodists. Besides the Off
GERS, the members of the board are
DR.. William P, Watson, of Newark;
whose certificate of reappointment
was received; DR.. Davis P. Borden,
of Paterson; DR.. Alexander McAlister,
of Camden; DR.. F. Wilbur Cornwell,
of Plainfield; DR.. John J. Mooney, of
Jersey City; DR.. Alexander Marcy,
of RivertOn, and DR.. D. Webb Gran
berry, of Hackensack.
School of Musketry.
AS in many other new departures
looking toward the generally improved
efficiency of the soldiery, the State
National Guard led the United States
into a new field at Sea Grit. The en-
viable standard of craftsmanship for
many years maintained by the Jersey
men is to be raised to even a higher
plane. The real foundation for the
added proficiency in rife work was
laid at the rife ranges when 176 Off
GERS and enlisted men who had quail
fed for the instruction attended the
States first school of musketry. The
major portion of the student body sue
cessfully passed the difficult tests to
which they were put by the officers in
charge. THE musketry school was the
greatest thing in the world for New
Jersey rif1emen," said Brigadier Gen
eral Bird w. Spencer, inspector gen.
eral of rife practice, who was COM
mandant of the school. The average
man can not understand the vast ad-
vantages which will fall to the rifle
men of this State as a result of the
instruction the men received here.
The accrued results, though seemingly
small just now, will assume giant pro-
the examinations have had opportun-
ity to carry the instruction work into
the ranks OF those who failed to
qualify for the instruction school
work. General Spencer voiced not
only his opinion, but that of the United
States army officers who were in at
tendance as instructors. Major Ed
ward B. Chrisman, of the Twenty
ninth United States Infantry, who is
stationed as the army's Instructor for
the State soldiers, expressed his sat
isfaction with the wide results OBJ
tanned through the weeks work. Lieu
tenant Thorne Strayer, of the Sew
enteenth United States Infantry, and
Captain Russell Langdon, the two
other regular officers present, ex-
pressed themselves similarly.
Report Diseased Cattle.
Acting upon Information furnished
by DR.. F. A. Fucker, superintendent
OF the S. P. C. A, to the effect that
some of the small slaughter houses in
Elizabeth and other parts of Union
county killed diseased cattle and sold
