A suit ontltled Terrltpry ot Okla

to revoke the license of the defend
ant to practice modlcino in the terri
tory was filed In the dlBtrlot court
today. The suit Is brought by Attor
ney General Simons and is in the na
ture of a civil action. The petition
alleges that the defendant obtained
license to practice modloine in Okla
homa on February 8, 1002, by fraud
and deceit, representing to the super
intendent of the board of health that
he was a graduate ot the Independent
and Metropolitan Medioal college or
Chicago, III., whloh Is aleged to be
a "diploma mill" willed would issue
licenses to any person, whether qual
ified to practice tnedioine or not, that
th.' eollego was chartered October 20.
1S00. and that on November 4, two
weeks afterwards. Uie defendant se
cured hU Iloense from the college and
that later the charter of the college
was revoked as the result ot an action
brought by the attorney general of
the stale of Illinois on the ground that
the college was a fraudulent concern
and that It would Issue licenses to in
comjietent persons without any re
quired course of study and without
any regard to qualifications.
The suit, according: to the state
ment of the attorney general. Is
merelv the forerunner of a number of
cases whloh will be filed soon against
other persons who, tt Is alleged, ob
tained licenses to practice medicine in
the territory by fraud",
Several months ago the territorial
board of health attempted to revoke
the license of Dr. Gully and others,
but nothing was ever accomplished
and they have been practicing ever
since.
