Dr. Philip, S. Daily, Sixty-second
and" Arch streets, an osteopath accused
of practicing medicine without a license,
was found guilty today.
Fending a motion for a new trial by
aWilllara A. Gray, Doctor Daily's coun
'sel, Judge Martin, before whom the
case was tried, deferred sentence and
permitted Doctor Dally to sign his own
bail bond.
Judge Martin, in his charge to the
jury, said it was a cfuestion whether
the defendant committed an offense
,-(.t v, lam Af th nmrnninrrnlth
against the laws bt the commonwealth,
the charge being that he practiced med-
icino by writing prescriptions and giv-
ing drugs, when ho was not licensed
. i , . j ,!. l
as a physjclau in accordance with the
act of 1011. The Judge reminded tho
jurors that the act of 1009, under
wnictj the defendant neia a license, re-
-Jated only to the practice of osteopathy
not medicine in the legal sense us ex-
plained by the, district attorney.
The case was regarded Dy osteopotn
physicians as the most important since
tho osteopathic licensing act of 1000
was passed by the Legislature. "Old
school" physicians likewise were much
interested in the case. It will have a
far reaching effect upon the future of tho
profession In this state, it is said.

Mr. Gray callcdyto the stand Dr.
Arthur M. Flack and Dr. O. D. B.

Philadelphia College of Osteopathy.
Much of the testimony hinged on the
curriculum of the college in 1009. the

There was one man on Chestnut
street this morning who did not mind
Jhe fact that it was chilly.
Ho carried his lire with him, but
didn't know it.
Strolling nonchalantly along, a large
bouquet of flowers in his hand, he was
conversing with a friend. Other pe
destrians stopped , looked, smiled and
passed along, but the odor of smoke
grew stronger. Then puffs of smoke
arose and grew denser.
Suddenly the busy conversationalist
felt that his left side was becoming

grew almost panic
stricken and dashed Into a Chestnut
street building, where he extinguished
the blaze that somehow had started in
his coat. Then ho proceeded, wearing
his much-charred coat and not quite
o warm and comfortable, as ho had
been. Sparks from a pipe he was
smoking are supposed to huve caused
the trouble

Iubllc Opinion Against Strike
The delegates entered the conference
this morning solur-faced and with a
full realization of the seriousness of
their undertaking. Not 11 man umoug
them but was aware that ' ' national
and state governments were ed solidly
against them, nnd that the '. ivernnients
me backed b.v widespread public oninlon
I that the miners ure in the wrong. On
ever hand they have been met with
expressions of the grave consequences
attaching to the threatened strike Jn
the verge of winter.
I Discontinuance of the production of
coal would more effectuuHy tie up the
industries of the country thun would
n strike of any other body of worker,
and. In udditiou, such action woujd
cause untold suffeiing among millions
of the oiiuutrv's inhabitants Despite;
the frantic efforts of the railroads to
furnish extra cars to the mines for
transportation of what fuel is on hand
nt the source, it will be impossible to.
provide uu udequute supply for even
short period.
The big industries (of the country
would be hard hit by the stoppage of
their 1011I supplies, and domestic cons
sumers- in every city and many ruraj
communities would soon feel the effect
of the tie-up. In tho larger cities fe,vy
of the big hotels und flat buildings have
facilities for storing n winter's supply
of fuel, and dealers with whom thry
have contracts would be unable to sup
ply their demands, for they In turn
depend upon continuous shipments from
the mines. "
Itallroads also would be seriously .f-.
feet re! bv the strike, for It is known
that in the majority of cases the Bups
plies of locomotive fuel would be arly
exhausted. This would mean apnulr.
ment of trains und consequent shortage
of many necessities.
