Controversy Existing
for Years.

Albany, \. ", April 4.-Chiro-
practors will be officially recognized
in New York state under an agree
mept reached yesterday by the state
department Of education and the state
medical society, thus bringing to a
close bitter controversy which has
existed for years between physicians
and chiropractors. The agreement is
the outcome Of a request made at a
recent hearing by the chiropractors
that they be allowed to practice on
an equal basis with physicians.
The state recognition will take the
form of an amendment to the Esmond
medical registration bill. under which
chiropractors will be allowed to reg
lister after they have taken a two-year
course in certain fundamental medical
subjects prescribed and supervised by
the state board of regents.
This would be in addition TO the
course which chiropractors now are
required to take in chiropractic
school. Provision is specifically made
in the measure as amended that chiro-
practors shall not practice medicine.
Graduates" OF mail order schools
and correspondence courses in chiro-
practic and medicine are not recog-
nized by the bill.

Paris, April 4.-The decision of the
American Department of Justice 10
make foreign shipping companies pay
income tax on all proceeds collected
at American ports and immediate APP
plication of the decision without
previous warning, is causing irrita-
ton in European shipping circles. .
"These decisions are regrettable."
said a prominent French business
man to the correspondent. American
circles seem TO have overlooked the
fact that form is often more import
ant than fact and that nothing is TO
be gained by treating foreign COM
panies with such disregard. putting
them before the accomplished fact os
as to avoid protests.
"Such procedure can serve only TO
injure international relations and pro-
woke other countries to reprisals
against American shipping from which
the matter will suffer more because
of its inexperience and because of
the unanimity of interests which will
be leagued against it.
at is 70 be hoped the United
States will realize the unfortunate re-
percussions the attorney generals act.
coming after so many others. is bound
to have on Americas maritime rela-
tons and that a more Just sentiment
of realities will cause repeal of the
decision in the near future"
