 ciety, or others.'
 Of the constitutional question raised by counsel for the appellants it is contended that the appellants were not given notice of the inten- tion to revoke the licenses. and were not given opportunity to ap- pear in their own behalf. the state replies that this does not constitute violation of the due process" clause of the 14th amendment to the federal constitution.
 In case the decision of the state supreme court in the Brein appeal did not settle the point, the state argues that no notice is necessary under the fourteenth amendment, and that even if it is, was notice given"
 "The supreme court of errors' in the Brein case has decided that the state board of health and the eclec- tic examining board were acting in an administrative and not judicial capcity," says brief, adding fur ther that 'it is obvious that the re- Nuil cIIltlllS OI liOllCc dllu llcdllIS llS- ually associated with due process in judicial proceedings are not neces- sarily carried over into administra- tive proceedings.
 Board is Scored The eclectic examining board of the state is scored by Attorney Car penter, in the brief after a resume of the testimony of Dr. Fred A. Waite of Western Reserve university, of Cleveland. of a board to investi- gate the Missouri eclectic schools in 1923. Dr. Waite told at the hearing of conditions which, to his mind, showed the St. Louis school corrupt and incompetent properly to prepare for the practice of medicine, 'in- efficient, degenerate and education ally immoral"
 The corroborating evidence of Dr. Robert AdcoX self-confessed pur- chaser of entrance requirements, Dr. Sachs, self-confessed purveyor of diplomas. and Dr. Stewart, now sec retary of the Missouri state board of health, is also introduced in the brief.
 "The English language is made quate to portray the apostasy of Hair" (Dr James Hair of Bridge port, formerly secretary of the state examining board and president of the state eclectic society," "and the eclectic board to the interests of the state of Connecticut" says the brief.
 His attitude on the witness stand, his own admissions, his utter impo- tency in the face of conclusive proof of his collision in the illegal pass ing of Feldman, his acceptance of the statements of the applicants at their face value without any attempt to check up their veracity. mark him as the Judas Iscariot of an equally corrupt and loathsome board.
 "FolloWing close upon the receipt of diploma from the eclectic uni versity at the time when it was dom- mated by Alexander in 1915, and one from the Kansas City college in 1917, which is almost contemporaneous with his visit to Alexander in Kan sas City, Blair proceeded to carry out his plot to permit the graduates thereof to practice upon the people of this state.
 "Dr Date R. Alexander was head of the Kansas City college of Medi- cine and surgery.
 "The only other member oNth ec- lectic examining board to testify at the hearing of the appeals. Dr. Ralph L. White of Stamford, also admitted receiving a degree from the Kansas City college in such close proximity to the one to Hair, so closely followed by the rapid in crease in the applicants from the Kansas City college, SO closely fol- lowed by the domination of AleXan- der of the Connecticut board and by the domination of the state eclectic society by the Missouri graduates, that it was patently part of Alex ander's scheme to develop Connecti- cut as a deposit for his medical derclicts.
 "The impropriety and dishonor of holding such a diploma is portray ed in Whites admission that he de- stroyed it four or five years ago at the time of the grand jury investi- gaton in Hartford.
 Tn placing the St. Louis and Kansas City schools on the reputa. ble list in 'o2 or 'c3 the state eclec- tic society, which was then domi- mated by these men who came out of those schools. fraudulently rep resented to the health department that these schools were reputable within the natural import of our statute. That soicety knew that was falsehood."
