At the meeting of the Norwalk

resolution was adopted:
'Whereas, The recent investigation
of the Eclectic Board of Examiners.
conducted by the State Authorities.
has disclosed the fact that many per.
sons have obtained licenses to prac-
tice medicine and surgery in this
state by fraud. and even one of the
members of this same board has had
his license to practice revoked.
And Whereas. The personnel of
this Eclectic board has remained the
same for several years past. and it. is
therefore impossible to tell how
many of these licenses really have
any qualifications to practice, there-
fore be it.
Resolved. That the members of
the Norwalk Medical Society sever-
ally and collectively withdraw the
privilege of consultation or profes-
sional intercourse of any kind from
any Eclectic practitioner, and fur-
ther from any practitioner who in
the future is desirous of the sepriv-
liege: until such time as the society
has satisfied itself as to the worthl-
ness of the individual.
In making this resolution the
members of the Norwalk Medical
Society wish to make clear that it is
being done for the protection of the
public only, and that the hand of
fellowship will always be extended
to any physician who is Worthy of
the same.

the controversy between the funda-

pected to result from. the pastoral

ment until after the Christmas sea-
son.
The letter will be read in the
churches of the state. Sunday morn-
ing. Bishop Manning declared "the
present questions are serious and
must be met faithfully." but that a
"little time of silence and thought
and prayer will be of help to all of
us. and at the end of that period we
shall be better able to meet these
questions rightly in a. spirit of trust
and love.

plication did not make this declara-
tion. ,
Mayor Robins said that the city
charter did not require that any ap-
plication be filed at all. hit that it
did state that the Council was to

made-application to be put on a
caucus list that he declared himself
as to which party he belonged. He
then produced the Republican cau-
cus list and pointed out the name of
Knapp. but said that the name of

the future candidates for offices be
prment at the meetings, so that. the

them over and know for whom they
were voting. He stated that he did
not know either Bartram or Knapp.
A- ballot was then taken and
Knapp received four votes and Bar-
tram three. Knapp was declared
elected to the office.
