"FOILED AGAIN."
One More Effort of the State
Health Board
To Get Their Fingers on That
$4,000
Headed Off Today by Injunction
Proceedings
GREEDY CROWD
Shocking Behavior of the State
Board.
How They Laid the Scheme to
Get the Money

Injunction proceedings we're COM
menced in the district court this after
noon to prevent DIR. II. A Dykes, secre-
tary of the state board Of health from
getting possession of the celebrated
$4,000 balance of the $4,000 cholera
fund
AT the last meeting of the state execu-
tive council DR.. Dykes presented his es-
Inmates for the expenses of his board for
preventing encroachments of cholera in
the state. This estimate called for the
expenditure of all of this $4,000
The executive council voted to allow
the estimates but to the credit of Govern
or Lewelling and State Treasurer Biddle
they voted against allowing this esti-
mate. as on former occasion.
When the state executive council has
allowed the estimates of the state board
of health the law makes it the duty of
the state auditor to issue the warrants SO
that the money can be drawn from the
state treasury
The suit is brought by the State of
Kansas on the relation of II. c. Stafford,
county attorney, against the Kansas State
Board of Health, DR.. Stewart, its presi-
dent, DR.. Dykes, its secretary, the gov
ernor. secretary Of state, auditor of state.
attorney general, treasurer OF state and
superintendent of public instruction,
mem bers of the exective council, to re-
strain them from issuing any warrant for
the disbursement of the unexpended
portion of the appropriation of $4,000
to repel any Threatened invasion of the
state by cholera. The petition recites that
the defendants threaten to do SO and will
do so unless restrained. 1t also alleges
that there is no invasion of the state,
United States or Western Hemisphere by
cholera. and no thTeatened invasion. nor
has there been at any time since the ap-
preparation was made.
J. G. Waters is associated with County
Attorney Stafford in the case. Mr. Waters
says:
1T is understood that of this appro-
priation $4,000 is yet unexpended It
has been fund upon which many n
vulture glance has been cast, and around
which the jacKals would like TO gather.
This Is a good suit by Mr.. Stafford, in the
interest of good government. and is the
proverbiS4 ounce of prevention worth
twenty pounds Of cure.
"In Justice to the governor and Mr..
Biddle, state treasurer, it should be said
that they have opposed and resisted any
expenditure of this money from the
start"
This case will be argued in the district
court next Saturday morning.
