THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1914- OSTEOPATH OUSTED 6Y STATE BOARD State Body Sustains Charges Against Dr. Van Brakle, of Clackamas County. RULING MAY BE FOUGHT Action Marks Another Chapter in Long Fight for Official to Re tain OfficeJudge Anderson I Told of Dismissal . The State Board of Health sustained the charges against Dr. J. A. Van Bra kle, of Clackamas County. Health Offi cer, and removed him from office at the meeting of the Board Wednesday County Judge Anderson was notified of the removal. It is probable that Van Brakle will resist the order. This action marked another chapter In th lonir fleht between Dr. Van Brakle and the Board. The Health Officer, who is an osteopath, was ap pointed 11 months ago by County Judge Anderson to fill a vacancy caused by resignation. Charges that he was in competent and that he had not gradu ated from a reputable medical school were filed against Dr. Van Brakle by Oreiton City physicians last February The matter was brought up in Circuit Court and Judge Campbell allowed a non-suit after a lengthy hearing. Appointment Held Illegal. Early in April the Board began taking testimony on the charges, and lso on the legality of Dr. Van Brakle's appointment. The hearings were con cluded in Portland April 7. The Board of Health declared "that it is not necessary to remove him, for the reason that he has never been legally appointed, and that his holding office and drawing salary has been liletral." In making this decision, Dr. Pierce said the Board had ignored the charges against Dr. Van Brakle, and had acted simply on the legality or nis appoint, ment. On June 1 Dr. Calvin S. W hite, sec retary of the Board, issued orders to Clackamas County physicians to make their reports directly to the Board, as there was no health officer there. Dr. Van Brakle Plans Action. A penalty is attached to the failure f physicians to report their cases to the healtn officer, and a few days ago Dr. Van Brakle stated that he intended to take up some of the cases on which reports had not been made to him. The question whether the Board has power to remove a healtn officer was threshed out at the hearing In Port land. C. D. Latourette, attorney for the complaining physicians, asserted that this power lay solely with the Board. That the osteopaths of the state re garded the Van Brakle case as a fight between the allopaths and the osteo paths was indicated when, after the April 1 hearing. Dr. F. K. Moore, a Portland osteopath, said: "We feel that Dr. Van Brakle is be ing persecuted, and the osteopaths of the state have raised a fund to fight the case." attacked the general conditions In the Senate surrounding the trust bills, and Senator Clapp declared that a "power outside the chamber" was responsible for the failure of the Senate to at tend to business. Senator Townsend said the people wanted Congress to quit and go home. "Business is sick and all the psy chological mental healers cannot cure it," he said, "and especially will it not recover so long as it is made the shut tlecock of political weavers. 'I will not charge the President with being unpatriotic or insincere. I do assert, however, that he Is a theorist who, without constructive business ex perience of his own, nevertheless flies into the face of all experience and in sists on driving his docile Congressional adherents into dangerous and untenable grounds." Senator Clapp declared that trust legislation was in no way the outcome of collective judgment and integrity of Congress, but was "handed to this body, a cut and dried proposition, for approval."

Van Brakle. osteo pathic County Health Officer, ousted by the State Board of Health tonight, issued a general "deft" to the board and threatened to prosecute every physician in Clackamas County who does not make his monthly reports to him. Dr. Van Brakle said: "This is the third time the state board has put on this little comedy. I shall continue to be County Health Officer in spite of the state board. The County Court will refuse to budge on its stand in my support. "I shall begin prosecution against every physician in the county who fails to report. The law provides a penalty of 1100 and constitutes each failure a separate offense. I shall have a con ference with Gilbert 1.. Hedges, County Attorney, within the next few days. "The state board has tried to re move me before. It has twice in structed the County Court to oust me and the court has refused. The board doesn't worry me at all." WOLVERINES TO GATHER Melvln G.

Machines Collide on East 39th Street and Two, Oecapants Are Thrown Under Collarbone Is Broken. Two persons received severe injuries last night when an automobile, driven by Earl Stanley, a farmer at Gresham, collided with a runabout driven by Percy Arlett, of 553 East Forty-third street, on East Thirty-ninth and East Oak streets. Nine others escaped with slight cuts and scratches. The seriously injured were Janet Boring, the 3-year-old daughter of George A. Boring, sales manager for the Pacific States Electric Company, and Mrs. Arlett, wife of Percy Arlett, sales manager for the California Ink Company. The Boring child sustained a ruptured muscle in her right fore arm. Mrs. Arlett's collarbone was broken. The other passengers in the Arlett runabout were George Boring, Mrs. Boring and Betty Arlett, 2 years old. All these escaped with slight scratches and bruises. Mrs. Boring received a slight scalp cut. Four passengers in Mr. Stanley's car escaped uninjured. Mr. Arlett was driving south on East Thirty-ninth street, he says, when Stanley's car shot up East Oak street, going east Arlett says that he had stopped his car when the accident oc curred.

The others were thrown clear of the machine. Mr. Boring rays he lifted the automobile from those unjer the car without assistance. The Borings were taken to St Vin cent's Hospital, where Dr. R. A.

Announcement Made at Peace Centen ary Meeting In London Evokes Outbursts of Cheering. LONDON, July 9. The American Am bassador, Walter H. Page, speaking at the peace centenary meeting in the Metropolitan Tabernacle tonight, re ferred to a new treaty between the United States and England. After speaking of the cordial rela tions now prevailing between the two nations and complimenting Viscount Bryce on the part he played in clear ing up all difficulties between the two nations, the Ambassador said it was the policy of the American people to have an alliance with none; where there was perfect friendship, alliances were not needed. The old arbitration treaties between the two countries, however, had been renewed for another period, and he was free to announce that a new treaty was being concluded whereby a com mission was to be set up, to which either government could refer any question arising between them. Both governments, he added, promised not to begin hostilities until the commis sion had investigated and submitted its report That treaty, he said, was now virtual ly completed. The announcement evoked great outbursts of cheering. LEACH IRONWORKS SUED George Hayden Wants $5000 for Loss of His Home by Fire. Because of the alleged neglect of the J. M.

He said that the men struck him on the head from behind, knocking him unconscious. While he lay on the street, he said, he was robbed of $110 In gold and a gold watch. Detectives Hill and Hammers ley accompanied Johnson on a tour through the North End, but he was un able to recognize his assailants. William Gardner, 24 years old, was arrested on suspicion. He will be held for investigation. Claude Gllmore, a waiter at 282 Mor rison street, who lives at 1188 Detroit street, was sandbagged at Detroit street and Eillingsworth avenue by a single highwayman, about 40 feet from the St. Johns car, from which he had just alighted, about 1:15 o'clock this morning. The Instrument em ployed was a sharp club, which made a superficial gash in the scalp. Two dollars and 60 cents was taken from Gilmore's pockets.

Miss Fern Hobbs, Governor West's pri vate secretary, left tonight for Laidlaw to make an inspection of the Tumalo irrigation project. She is acting on instructions from the Governor, who is lecturing in the East State Treasurer Kay and Attorney General Crawford, members of the State Desert Land Board, which has supervision over irrigation work, sai they knew nothing about the trip of .Miss Hobbs and that they had not au thorized It. The State Treasurer said "I would like to have more direct in formation with relation to the irriga tion project, so I will send one of m young women stenographers to Laid law, with Instructions to make an in vestigation of the engineering features. Expert Statement ante. "I would like an expert statement from her as to whether the big reser voir will hold water." Asked if the stenographer he would assign to make the investigation would collaborate with Miss Hobbs, Mr. Kay said she would not. He asserted that he wanted his representative to play a lone hand. "The Governor before leaving Salem Instructed me to go to Laidlaw and make the inspection ' said Miss Hobbs. "He intended going himself, but did noi have the opportunity. He wants me to report to him while he Is in the Kast. so he can use the information in connection with matters he has before the departments in Washington. Authority Is Denied. Attorney-General Crawford said the Governor had no authority to send a personal representative at the expense of the state to mane an inspection of the Drolect- He said the inspection should be made by a member of the state engineering department or an exuert employed by the State Desert Land Board. He did not believe a woman, who had not studied engineer ing, would be competent to do the work. titate Engineer Lewis, who has made several Inspections of the work, was not in the city. Friends of Mr. Lewis, however, said the action of the Gov ernor in sending a woman to do the work which it is the business of the State Engineer to do was in keeping with his sending Miss Hobbs to Copper field to make the town "behave." Slur at Mr. Lewis Seen. Sheriff Band, of Baker County, had declined to act at the Governor's bid ding, and it was made to appear that the Sheriff could not or would not en force the law. They say Miss Hobbs was assigned to the work to make the Sheriff appear more or less ridiculous. Now, tney say. Miss Hobbs is sent to Laidlaw on a mission intended by the Governor to convey a similar Impres sion as regards the State Engineer. They point to the fact that Mr. West is supporting an initiative measure which provides for the abolition of the office of State Engineer as an elective office and Its recreation as an appoint ive office by the State Desert Land Board. The law eliminates Mr. Lewis and makes the engineer of the Tumalo project state engineer at a larger sal ary until 1916 than Mr. Lewis is receiving.
