Justice ]. Lewis Thomas. OF Ports
mouth. yesterday imposed fine OF $50
upon DR.. Vernon 4. Brooks, for prac-
ticing medicine in the State Of Vir-
ginia without a license DR. Brooks
contended that recent act OF the
General Assembly eXcmpting physi-

fused TO pay his license.
The court held. however. that the
act eXcmptinS physicians from tho

come effective until Juno 10, and,
therefore. did not relieve physicians of
the State OF the payment OF a license
tax for 1914. which became n debt to
the state on February ]. although the
law allows payment TO be made, with
out penalty. at any time up 10 April
30.
Tho view taken by Justice Thomas
