 FINED $50 FOR
 ILLEGAL PRACTICE

pr. Arthur G. Jones, a dentist who practices in the Wheeler building, was fined $50 by Judge Walsh in the crirn- ina1 common pleas court yester- day.

 For more than a year the local Den tai society has been at war with pr. Jones. 4I It was alleged that he had no authority to practice since he had never passed the state examinations. He declared that the state board had not treated him fairly and in legal proceedings before Judge Scott in the common pleas court pr. Jones asked for a writ Of rnandamus against the board, claiming the members had acted illegally in taking his regtstra- tion card as an assistant. Judge Scott refused to issue the r1andanus.
 Later criminal proceedings were brought against pr. Jones by County Health Omcer Hill and today's fine was based on these proceedings.
