OFFICE A PRIVATE SNAP.
Secretary of Kansas Board of Health
Does Little but Draw His
Salary.

Topeka. Kas.. Oct. 25.-The state board
OF health is one of the many boards main-
taBed by the state. The board is supplied
with an elegant Office in the front wing of
the state house. and the state pays a
good salary to the secretary to stay in
the office and attend to the work of the
beard. Out of curiosity, The Journal cor
respondent made the rounds of every Office
in the state house to-day and asked the
question: who is secretary of the state
beard of health?" Strange to say. only
cne person in the entire building could
call his name without referring to the
blue book or the vouchers on file in the
auditors office. The stenographer of the
tcard told his name right off. without
looking it up. She said his name was
H. u. Gill and that he lived at Pittsburg,
Kas. Gil! was appointed secretary of the
board about four months ago. and he has
been in the Office twice since then. His
salary is usually mailed to him. The Re
publican secretary was always found at
his desk, doing the best he could TO give
value received for his salary, but the
Pop doesn't pretend to attend to the duties
of the office. He lets the stenographer
attend to the work while he stays at home
and attends to private business. However
he doesn't forget to draw his salary.

Stone. of Missouri, has aroused the ire OF
Tammanyites by writing letter In whien
he declares that Bryan and Bryanites are
rot for the Van Wyck ticket. Mr.. Stone
regards Mr.. George as the true Democratic
candidate. and In expressing himself 10
the effect takes occasion also to score
Tammany and its leaders in the bitterest
fashion. If the followers of Croker and
others of their ilk had not bolted last fall.
says the ex-governor, Bryan instead Of
Mckinley would he president. and he does
not believe in rewarding them for their
perf,dy by turning Greater New York over
to them to be looted.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 25-Three new

the highest mum ber of deaths in single

continues to be concealment of cases.
Fatalities occur because medical attention
is rot called in, and the masses for the
time being are in revolutionary mood be-
cause of the enforcement of the system of
house quarantine. and are resorting to
every means in their power to put OBJ
stables in the way of the constituted

Continued From First Page.

picion upon an official who appoints agents
and permits them to draw from 500 to $50
day for their services, as McNalrs agents
seem to have done.
Judge Horton. after the hearing was
over, remarked that he did not know
whether the agents kept all the money or
whether they divided with some other Of
ficials. However, it is certain that none
of the money collected for examinations"
was turned into the state treasury.
Judge Foster is inclined to believe that
McNalrs threat to examine the Travellers
is only a bluff, and that he does not pro-
pose to conduct an examination In good
faith. This was shown by his remark to-
day when he asked Attorney General Boyle
If he actually believed that McNali was
sincere in his belief that the company's
financial condition was not up to the stand
ard. The attorney general said he did not
know. Judge Foster smiled but said moth
ing.
Afraid to Offend McNail.
S. C. Dunham, general counsel for the
Travellers, came all the way from Hartford
to participate in the hearing to-day. To
The Journal correspondent tonight he said
that the road agents of the Kansas in
surance department had bled number of
other Eastern companies in addition 10
those whose officers gave aftidavits. but
that the companies were afraid OF getting
mixed up in fight with McNall and re-
fused to make afiidavits covering the mat
ter.
In case Judge Foster renders decision
in favor of the state in this case and re-
| fuses to enjoin the insurance superintend-
ent from interfering with the Travellers
business, McNall proposes to cause that
| company considerable trouble on November
/. On that cate the Travellers expect to
| take charge of the accident insurance busi-
| ness along the Santa F'e road. Each sta
| ton agent will be named as its local agent
| with authority to sell accident tickets gooc
| for twenty-four hours-the usual travelling
| accident tickets. Each agent must have {
state license. McNall says he will not is
| sue license to single one of the agent:
| along the road. This will knock the Trav
elers' out of all that business. for the sta
tion agents will probably not act as agent!
