i THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. TUESDAY. JANUARY 21. 1913.

FACULTY MEMBERS OBJECT TO RATING Say Grave Injustice Is Done Medical College of L. I. College Hospital. SCHOOL IS PUT IN CLASS B. Action of American Medical Association Based on an Examination Made Two Years Ago.

Members of the faculty of the Medical College connected with the Long Island College Hospital, in Henry street, feel that the placing of the medical school in Class in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association does a grave injustice to the Brocklyn stitution, as the classification, they say, is based on an examination that was made over two years ago. "We consider that we have here an upto-date medical school, thoroughly organized and equipped for the education of medical students for their said Dr. Joseph H. Raymond, who is the faculty secretary and also professor of physiology and hygiene. "The best proof of that is that we have now 450 students, and that we have refused admission fifty more.

don't want to criticise American Medical Association, or its Couneil on Medical Education, but it seems a little unjust to publish at the present time a rating that appears to be based on present conditions, when as a matter of fact it must perforce based on an inspection conducted about two years ago." American Medical Association Not Officially Recognized. The Long Island College Hospital Medical School is conducted to conform to the rules of the Beard of Regents of the University of S'ate of New York, which is the official representative of the State of New York, while the American Medical Association has no official standing whatever. Its ratings are made by a board of five members, called the Couneil on Medical education. That the Long Island College Medical School had been placed in Class, was communicated to the authorities in a letter received some time in the summer of 1911, while the secretary, Dr. Raymond, was in Europe.

The inspection had been made some time previous to that. The following specific complaints were made against the local medical school: (1) That some of the students had not had a four years' high school course; (2) not enough instructors gave their entire time to lectures at the school; (3) that there was no medical library in the college, and (4) that adequate laboratories for the study of physiologly and pharmacology were lacking. To these alegations Dr. Raymond yesterday made the following replies: (1) All students admitted to the college are required to have a Regents certificate for admission to a medical school, and whether they have had four or three years' preparation in a high school does not concern the medical college, as long as they have passed the Regents examinations satisfactorily. (2) The Board of Regents for New York State requires only six instructors for a medical school, who shall give their entire time to teaching.

The Long Island College Hospital Medical School has eight men who do not practice medicine, but give all their time to lectures. (3) The college medical library was lo(cated in the Heagland laboratories, and was accessible to all instructors and students doing research work, but it is now in the college, building proper, and is in charge of a librarian, who gives his entire time to this work. (4) A new laboratory for the study of physiology and pharmacology has revently been installed. It will be formally dedicated. January 29, and is believed to be as up-to-date any similar laboratory in the United's States.

How the Rating Was Arrived At. The Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association explains the ratings arrived at as follows: "Colleges receiving a rating of 70 per cent. or above in each and all of the ten divisions of data were included in the Class At; colleges receiving an average of 70 per cent. or above, but which received EL rating below 70 per cent. in one, tWO or three of the divisions, were included in Class colleges receiving an average of between 50 and 70 per cent.

and colleges having an average of per but which received a rating of below TO per cent. in more than three of the divisions above named, were ineluded in Class and colleges receiving less than 50 per cent. Were included in Class C. In other words, Class colleges are those which are acceptable; Class those which need improvement in certain respects, but which are otherwise acceptable; Class those which. under their present organization, might be made accentable by general improvements, and Class C.

those which require a complete reorganization to make them acceptable." Several graduates of the Long Island College Hospital stated that they believed the rating accorded to the institution by the American Medical Associaition would. in the end, prove beneficial. The rating. these men claimed. would probably have the effect of bringing about changes in administration and curriculum of the college.

DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE MEETS.

RICH WOMAN AIDS ALLEGED MURDERER She Takes Pity on Harry son, Accused of Killing His Mother. ELDER TO DEFEND HIM. Prisoner Is Held Without Bail for Grand Jury--Presents Distressed Appearance in Court. Touched by newspaper accounts of the murder of Mary Harrison, whose lifeless form was found January 7, in a bedroom apartment, at 150 Palmetto street, a deep razor gash in her throat, a wealthy woman, said to be a resident of the Bedford section, and whose name is being kept secret, has come forth to detend the murdered woman's son, Harry Harrison, 24 years old, who is accused of the crime. Harrison was held today by Magistrate Harris in the Gates avenue police court, without bail, to await the action of the Grand Jury.

Young Harrison, a tall, slender, lightcomplexioned youth, presented a pitiful sight when brought to Gates avenue court this morning for the second time. His throat, which he is believed to have hacked with the same razor that was used to slay his mother, was still swathed in bandages. He sat motionless during the re-arraignment, staring, sometimes stupidly, and again knowingly, at the magistrate, and maintained a sphinxlike silence throughout the proceedings. Former Assistant District Attorney Roberi H. Eider appeared for him.

Shortly after Mr. Elder came into court there was a slight stor among the spectators; heads were put together, and many who heard the gossip going about in the courtroom wondered at 'the fact that Harrison, who is supposed to be practically penniless, had secured such counsel. Various rumors spread about the room, but the most. persistent was that a woman was footing Harrison's attorney bills. Seen at his office after the proceedings, Mr.

Elder admitted he had been retained to defend Harrison by a wealthy womanone who contributes largely to charities and who had been moved by the story of the tragedy pubished in The Eagle. He positively declined to make her name public. When the case was called in court this morning, Elder appeared as counsel, addressing the court as follows: "The young man wants me to say to you that he did not know what he was doing. I am not sure that he now knows what he did. I waive examination." MADIA SURRENDERS TO POLICE Alleged Agent of Chicago Bandits Gives Himself Up.

Sullivan's statement referred entirely to the collectibility of certain of the Union Bank assets," Mr. Curtin said. "They were assets about which the receivers seemed to know little and seemed to be unable to collect. Mr. Sullivan thought they could be collected if the receivers had the proper information regarding them, and so he gave it to them.

Mr. Sullivan gave no information regarding any, alleged criminal matters in the bank nor does he pretent to have any knowledge of any such alleged criminal actions. "Mr. Cropsey and Mr. Goldstein, who talked to him, had a long stenographic report of the interview made, and it will probably be used in settling up the bank affairs." TO DISCUSS GARMENT STRIKE.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, January 21-Many important changes in the banking law are proposed in a group of bills presented last night by Assemblyman Harry Heyman of Brooklyn, chairman of the Committee on Banks.

The bills were prepared by Superintendent George C. Van Tuyl, State Banking Department. Most bills of the refer to the savings banks of the State. of In the official statement given out from the Banking Department, concerning the measures, it is said that a large number of savings banks have not accumulated a suflcient surplus or reserve fund to meet losses that are likely to occur at any time, or even to pay dividends for a a single year at their present rate of payment. The first bill introduced is designed to compel savings banks to accumulate such a reserve fund for the protection of depositors.

If this measure is enacted, the word "interest," commonly used for many years in connection with the disbursement of profits or earnings of savings banks to their depositors, will no longer be recognized in the law, but will be superceded by the word "dividends." Five other bills prepared by Superintendent Van Tuyl were also introduced. Four of these bills amend the banking law and one measure would add to the penal law a new section, to be known as Section 305, so as to make the State law conform to the provisions of the National Banking Act, making it a felony for any officer, director, trustee, employe or agent of a banking corporation to abstract or willfully misapply money, funds, property or credit of such corporations. There being now no provision in the law making possible the merger of savings banks, the purpose of one of Superintendent Van Tuyl's bills is to permit savings banks to consolidate on terms satisfactory to the Superintendent of Banks. Branch offices of savings banks may likewise be authorized with the written approval of the Superintendent of Banks. HEARS OF HUSBAND'S DEATH.

BAIL FOR NAIMARK IS FIXED AT $5,000 District Attorney Cropsey Takes Steps to Carry Case to Court of Appeals. SEVERAL ODD DEVELOPMENTS Some Nice Points of Law Argued Before Appellate Division 1 to Insure Right to Appeal.

At the same time that $5,000 bail WA fixed today for Max Naimark, whose conviction and sentence to fifteen years in Sing Sing for perjury was reversed by the Appellate Division on Friday, District Attorney Cropsey announced that he would ask the appellate judges this afternoon to re-settle their order so that he can appeal to the Court of Appeals. In the absence of Judge Fawcett, the bail was fixed by Judge Niemann. Naimark is now in Raymond Street Jail. Several curious developments have arisen in the now famous case of Naimark, since the decision on Friday, which sharply scored Judge Fawcett for bias and prejudging the case. One 18 that Judge Fawcett must have himself permitted the colloquy, which so moved the appellate judges, to get into the record.

Another is the fact that the colloquy was uttered three days after the conviction and when the jury that convicted Naimark had been discharged and was not in the courtroom to hear it. Assistant District Attorney Egginton appeared this afternoon before the Appellate Division to urge that the order reversing the judgment and sentence be so amended as to make sure the right of the District Attorney to appeal. This. is taken to indicate that Mr. Cropsey is taking the position, and will so urge upon the Court of Appeals that language used by the judge in sentencing a convicted person, uttered out of the hearing the jury, gives the Appellate Court no authority to reverse the jury's verdict even on the ground of "public policy." Colonel Abraham Gruber represented Naimark today, both on the argument before Judge Niemann and at the hearing before the Appellate Division.

Assistant District Attorney Warren I. Lee represented the prosecution and asked that bail $10,000 be fixed. After a fixed conference, however, the amount was at $5,000, which Naimark is trying to furnish. WILLS FILED TODAY. JOHN McFARLANE died December 1, 1912.
