DOCTORS HERE BACK OF MATTERS MELSEB State Board of Medical Ex- ' animation and Registration Meets.

MAY DISCUSS CHARGES

Local Member of That Body Says Personal Animosity Is Cause.

, It is highly probabl that at the meeting of the state board of medical examination and registration, which is to be held this afternoon at the Claypool hotel in Indianapolis, that the charges brought against Dr. S. O. Smelser, of this city, a member of that body, will be discussed. Dr. W. N. Wishard, Dr. A. C. Kimberlin and Dr. Burton, the latter a member of the faculty of the, Indiana. University School of Medicine, have talked with Governor Ralston, advising againBt the probable re-appointment of the local physician to the board for another term of four years. Among the reasons the three doctora are said to have given why Dr. Smeser should not be continued on the board, is that he is "a poor speller." Dr. Smelser, In a statement to the Palladium yesterday,. aid that his attorney, John F. Robbins, had been sum

moned by Governor Ralston to hear the statements of the three doctors, llut the physician declined to state what his legal representative had said In answer to the charges. Local Agitation. That the members of the Wayne County Medical society are really back of the action of the Indianapolis men who appeared before the governor, is the opinion Dr. Smelser. It is said that some Richmond physicians have written to the governor, protesting against the probable re-appointment of Dr. Smelser, and the latter believes that this has been done because he refused to join the Wayne County society. Dr. Smelser declares that his action resulted in personal animosity toward him on the part of some of the members o the doctors' organization. "When I first came here I was asked to join the society," but I refused because I would have been obliged to sign an agreement that I would not accept a contract with any lodge," said Dr. Smelser. "There are some members of the society who are railroad physicians and have contracts in this manner. I could not see why discrimination should be made. I am a physician for a lodge here, and I could not sign the resolution for this reason. Before; coming to Richmond I was a mem

ber of the Henry County Medical society, and I still continue my membership in that organization. Prominent members of the society are lodge physicians, and I can not see why the Wayne County society must have such a rule as it has. However, let those local doctors who are opposing my reappointment to the board, continue to do so, if it affords them any pleasure. I know nothing at all about the' matter of re-appointment, for that is entirely up to Governor Ralston." Dr. Smelser was appointed a member of the board on May 8, 1909, and although his term has expired, he will continue to serve until his successor has been appointed and has qualified. May Ask Resignations. The Governor, It is said, has decided that the board can be of little service to the state so long as friction continues, yet he has been unwilling to turn down Drs. Spaunhurst and Smelser because to do so would be to accept the charges against them as true. Dr. Spaunhurst's term has also expired. It was reported that the governor had sent word to members of the board a few days ago that he would be pleased if all of them would resign and give him an opportunity of appointing an entirely new board. It is believed that Drs. Spaunhurst and Smelser would be willing to step down and out without making a further flght for reappointment if the other four would resign. Members of the board in addition to Mrs. Smelser, Spaunhurst and Gott are Dr. W. A. Spurgeon, M uncle; Dr. James N. Dinnen, Fort Wayne, and Dr. M. S. Canfleld, Frankfort.
