MEASURES TAKEN TO PREVENT FRAUD Kncli Applicant for I/lcrnum Mn t /iKropiiiont Swearing tlmt He Will Not Act n * nn Itlncmnt. LINCOLN , Aug. 3. ( Special. ) The State Hoard of Health nt a meeting held at the State capital today pnascd an Important resolution directed against Itinerant med ical practitioners who may happen to apply for licenses to practice In Nebraska. With the passage of this resolution the Hoard of Health tor the first time- has placed Itself on record as being against this class of physicians , and according to the provisions an applicant lor a license must sign an agreement ewcarlnc that ho will not act as nn Itinerant physician. This canicular class ot medical practice Is strictly prohibited by the laws of the utato. but while the Board of Health has always been opposed to granting licenses to physicians who move nbout from place to place the subject has not received the con sideration It Justly deserved. In Iowa the Hoard of Health Issues a special form of license to Itinerant physicians , a fee of $250 being charged In each Instance. Another resolution passed by the board today provides that hereafter licenses granted nonresident physicians shall be held mill the applicant opens on office at some specified place In the state. In a num ber of other states , Including Illinois , In diana and Kentucky , the Issuance of li censes to nonresident physicians Is prohib ited , all applicants 'being ' required to take tip their residence before their application is considered. According to this resolution nil applicants must also state where they Intend to prac tice. It Is thought that with these two resolutions there will bo less difficulty In the future with the Itinerant class of prac titioners. The following were given certificates to practice tnedlclno In the state : J. O. Rob erts. Hastlncs ; S. D. Green , Ames ; Ira P. Harlan , Auburn : John W. Warner , North riatto ; A. ai.

J. , Aug. 3. Governor Rococvelt of New York wan the guest of honor at the Ocean Grove summer school tcnlght , when he delivered an address upon "Practical Politics and Decent Politics , " be fore an audience of 10,000 people. Crowds met Governor Roosevelt nt the New Jersey station on his way from New York , cheer ing him heartily. At Ocean Grove ho .was met by a great crowd , and 1,000 bicyclists escorted him to his stopping place. In front of the house a company of boyfl dressed as Hough Kid- ers saluted him to his great delight. The audience tonight was so extraordinar ily enthusiastic that Governor Roosevelt was obliged to .beg the people to moderate their cheering. Governor Roosevelt spoke on "Practical I Politics and Decent Politics. " He said , In part : It Is Idle for the mass of good citizens to try to set themselves apart as not re sponsible for our political shortcomings. In the end the politicians must bo exactly what the people allow them to be. They must represent the people perhaps the vice , per haps the virtue , perhaps the Indifference of the people. This does not In the least ex cuse politicians that are bad , and we must keep In mind that every politician , above all every successful politician , tends to de bauch public conscience , to render bad men bolder and decent men who are not farsighted - sighted more cynclally Indifferent than 'over. Hut In blaming the politician do not forget that we have ourselves to blame for permitting his existence. Again , do not fall Into the mistake of thinking that we shall over make politics better by hysterics In any shape or form. It Is a shame to us ao a nation that wo should have tolerated In a city like New York an administration against which it Is necessary to war , not on grounds of political expediency , but on grounds of elementary morality. Just at the moment the nation Is face to face with a duty that calls for heroism. I mean our attitude In tha Philippines. Wo put our pick Into the rotten foundations of Spanish government , both In the East and West Indies. We tumbled the building down In as righteous a war as was ever undertaken. Now. If we are worth our place among the great nations of the earth wo must see to it that the ruins are cleared away , and the temple of Justice and hon esty reared In their places. Wo shall bo guilty of a terrible wrong to humanity , If In the Philippines we retreat before armed savagery Instead of organizing a suitable government , which shall guarantee Justice to every one and nn ever Increasing measure of liberty to those who show themselves worthy of It. The whole. hUtory of the world shows that the wrong done by the mere sentimentalist la often not of regular proportions and Is more elastic than any other kind of wrong and of this wo shall bo guilty It wo fall to do our task thor oughly and well. It will reaulro the merest fraction of strength , provided only we choose to exert that strength. If , however , the people let their representatives In congress hamper the administration as they did last winter when they refused to put the army on a proper footing so as to give permanence and organ ization , then the people have themselves to thank if the war lingers with difficulties and dangers increased. What the people have to do Is to resolve to back up the president to the full In seeing that the outburst of savagery Is re pressed once for nil and what Is even more Important to see that 'these ' now tropic Islands in the cast and west alike are not left to the prey of partisans and spoilsmen , but are governed primarily In the Interest of their Inhabitants and therefore ultimately for the honor and renown of America. Governor Roosevelt spent the night at Vice President Hobart's summer horn * at Norwood. HYMENEAL , JohiiMoii-EuNtmnn. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William W.

UNION WITHHOLDS ITS HAND I'lnii to Have President Lay Corncr- ntoiie of Aow Federal Mny Oo Awry. CHICAGO. Aug. 3. Complications have arisen In connection with the laying of the corner stone of the now federal bulldlns which may Interfere with the arrangements If they do not upset them entirely. The officers of the Chicago Stone Cutters' union say there will be no corner stone laying unless President McKlnley or some other visiting official lifts the stone Into position himself. The complications have arisen be cause the union haa been unable to reach an understandlns with Contractor John Pierce , who Is cutting the Mono. Union men say the corner stone of the federal 'building ' 'will be the ( product of nonunion labor and that no union man will put a hand to It. President Joseph Stone of the Stonecut ters' union said today : "No union .man . will have anything to do with the laying of that corner stono. That much Is certain. We have made every et- fort to have tbo Work done In Chicago by union men , but up to this time have ifalled. Without the assistance of the dcrrlckmen and bricklayers I cannot see how there U going to he any corner stone laying unless the president or some other dignitary Is strong enough to lift It Into position and has the necessary skill to set It. Organized labor worked hard for the appropriation for that building and It had a right to the work. It seems , however , 4ho principal work , the stonecuttlng , Is to go to non union labor ; not only nonunion , but out side labor. When they get ready to et that nonunion stone , Chicago labor organ izations will be ready to cease work In all departments. " Ile from the Operation. DENVER , Aug. 3.

"At that time when the treaty of jicaco was bring signed , " remarked Mr. Wright , "General Torres told the Yaquis that If they over broke treaty and caused more trouble the conflict would be carried on to the point of extermination , as quarter would neither be asked nor given.
