Yoeli, an attorney of this city, and Emily | | C. Yoell, his mother, for $1196 80 and §251 due on promissory notes. The complaint makes some sensational charges against John H. Yoell, accusing him of appropri- money belonging to one of his clients to his own use. In January, 1895, Dougherty borrowed $1000 irom Louise Masson through Attor- iorney Yoel, giving a morigage on his | home™ in thi- city o secure ihe money.

Doughnerty ihen threatened to have Yoell artesied for embezzieraent and mis- appropriation of money, and Yoell and ais mother waited upon him and asked him to accept their note for the sum em- bezzied and save Yoell from San Quentin, and ‘“‘preserve the honored name uf Yocell from disgrace.”” | Dougherty listen2d to the entreaties of defeniants and various influential per- sons, both lay and clerical, and accepied their notes, taking a chattel mortgage upon Atiorney Yoell’s library.

Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission DOCTORS NOW ARE DISAGREEING Homeopaths Want Recog- nition From the Univer- sity Regents. IE ALLOPATHS DON'T LIKE IT. Students at - Present Must Study Allopathy or Nothing, WHAT | SOME PEOPLE THIK. Both Schools Will Argue the Matter at the Next Regents’ Meeting. On Tuesday next at the meeting of the | State Board of Regents a petition from | | the humeopaths will come before that | body. The homeopaths will ask for the | establishment of a chair of homeopathy at | the university. At the present time medical students at | the university are instructed in aliopathy only. The homeopaths contend that their branch of medical science sheuld also ve | recognizea. The allopaths are opposing their recognition. The fightis 2 pretty one, but the con- sensus of opinion is that the Regents should recognize the homeopaths and es- tablish a chair for the teaching of home- opathy. The following interviews show the man- ner in which the public regard the mat- ter: Professor George Davidson— In my juagment the principies and prac- | tice of homeopatuy should be fairly rep- resented by chairs in the medical depart- ment of the University of California. The university is not supported by the people of this State for the pro- mulgation of any dogma in physics, belles lettres or medicine: but for the diffusion of knowleédge in every sphere of investigation and instruction. It 1s susiained for the benefit of all the citizens of California, and not for a part | The principles and practice of homeo. pathy are accepted and believed by very many of our people; and ihe further | elucidation of those principles sbould | receive support and assistance equally with those of allopathy in a State insti- tution supported largely by taxation. Ernest R. Lilienthal The homeopituic, sometimes cailea the new school of medicine, is the brogressive schooi, and is in its literature ana medi- cation the most advanced. 1ts physicians ars tue equals of the old school in their physiolory and pathalogy, | and their superiors in the application of remedies to disease. The proposed affilia- tion with the university appeurs only to be opposed by a few narrow-minced phy- sicians, whose opposition should not bs regarded as representative. Love of fair play will doubtless govern the action of the regents. i Hon. Villiam . Jordam hearuly indorse. the idea 0i having nome- | opathy represented in an atfiliated college of the University of California. He takes | considerabie interest in the subj ct, and some time ago made an investigation of | the claims of that branch of medical sci- ence to public consideration. He found that about three-tenths of the people of | the United States have elected 'to haye | their ailments treated by hLoweovpathist physicians, About half the population still cling to | matter. the allopaths, and the remainder are eclec- rious schools, some of which are not recognized as scientific. Homeo- pathy, be says, has made much more rapid progress in this country than in England, France, or the land of its nativ- ity, Germany, because this is the land of progressive 1deas. Twenty years ago there were only about three homeopathic col- leges in the United States, and now there are about 100, and the tomes of its litern- ture now form extensive libraries of meci- cal science. “It is the part of a liberal poliey,” he said, “to accept healing glad!y irom what- soever source it comes. and homeopathy has an undoubted standing as a scientific method of aileviating and curing disease. I have tested it in my own family to my full satisfaction of its efficacy, and any one can by questioning among his friends and neighbors learn of its krowing popularity. It is especially desirable in the case of women and children because of 1ts mildness. I think when so large and rapialy increasing num- bers of our people prefer it as a method of treatment that the teaching of it should have an equal opportunity with instruc- tion in allopathy in our State Uni- versity.” Associate Justice Garromntte of the Bupreme Court says that he is | earnestly in favor of the university having an affiliated college where homeopathy would be placed on an equal footing with allopathy, He had signed his name to the petition wi.h the hearty wish that the regents would act favorably to the new school of medicine. Ilis personal experi- ence with a homeopathic physician bad convinced him of the superiority of that method of dealing with buman ailments. Philip N. Lilienthal, man« ager of the Amnglo-Californian Bank—They have the right not on.y to usk but to demand that thev have the same privileges as the physicians oi any other school. I say most ungualifiedly and absolutely that they should have recoguition. ~They have been doing for fifty years what the others areonly just beginning to do. Why, t e experiments of the Berlin scientist, Dr. Kech, have been done by homeopaths tor years, and are asold as the hills. In fact they are all foilowing in the wake of the disciples of Dr. Hahne- mann, though they are not wiliing to ad- mitit. They are not a<king any more than any other taxpayer has a right to ask, and their request shonid be granted. It can dono harm and it is a matter of educa- | tion. We would be going back into the dark ages 1f we would notlet the home- opaths show what they are doing in medicine. Henry L. Davis, president of the Calitornia Optical Company and secretary of the California Wire Works—It is only right that they should have recognition. Ithink that they are entit'ed toit. The regents ought to take a broad view of the The homeopaths are getting to be a larze element.
