CARLETON WANTS IT LOOKED INTO
His Suggestion to Governor Smith IL That Men Be Appointed to
See What There Il About That Matter Of
the Clerks Pay.

acknowledge ] was ignorant OF that
provision of the law which forbids a
state official drawing the salary of an
employe, and as every one Is supposed
to know the law, i am to blame in that
respect. But in makir- the agreement
with Miss Harris. IL was for the pur-
pose of giving me more money to run
my office. The appropriation fer II Is
small. not near sufficient, and 1 thought
hat for three or four months l could
get along with chean helm and the
money saved could be devoted to print
ing md other necessary expenses. as
we'll as for the purpose of buying some
furniture absolutely requisite for the
office. My criticism of the Standard Is
thai when il had the opportunity to
right the matter, II did not do so. The
only thing left for me was to ask the
governor to name a committee to in
vestigate the charges. This l have
done, and the sooner the governor
grants my request, the better pleased
i will be.
The letter to the governor was writ
ten yesterday afternoon and reads:
Certain charges of alleged official
misconduct have bee~ made against
myself by the Anaconda Standard. In
connection with the employment of
Miss Josephine Harris in this Office.
and these charges ave been a number
of times repeated. AS the matter con-
Germs the administration of the affairs
of this department, the public and my
self. and as the facts have been per-
gistently distorted and an attempt has
been made to place me in un unfavor-
a0le light before the public. ] respect
fully demand Of you, as governor and
chairman of the state board of educa-
tion, an immediate and thorough in
v~estigation of said alleged miscon-
duct, to the end that this matter may
be placed before the public in it's proper
light.
Miss Harris herself has denied the
correctness of these charges as they
nav been published. and has caused a
correction of them to be sent to the
Standard, but, so far, her correction
has not been published.
II do not care to suggest how the
matter should be inquired into, further
han to say that I think an unpreju-
diced committee of three or five, or
such a number as you may think best.
should be appointed by you, and that
you should be the chairman of the COM
mittee, and that the hearing be had at
the earliest possible dav."

Proof That Correctly Dressed Men Are
Guilty Of Imitation.
Two women met by chance In the
ante-room OF an autocratic tailor and
were waiting to have W fitted. One
OF them dropped a remark indicating
her belief that women were too much
given to initiating the sterner sex In
sartorial makeup. The other was de-
c1dedly OF an opposite opinion. holding
that the onus of copying lay with the
lords Of creation.
It's absurd for men TO say tina we
are borrowing their modes when we
wear tailor-made suite. linen shirts and
four-in-hand ties. Ever since I began
to wear tailor-made gowns I have taken
pains to notice mems clothes. and |
am convinced that IL is women who set
the fashion. and men who follow them"
A dissenting voice and an incredulous
smile caused the speaker to pause. and
then to continue with some scorn:

II the request of State Superintend-

there will be an investigation of

generally copied by the of
the state. and Mr.. Carleton said yester-
day that 1t would be but justice to him
self and all concerned that some notice
should be taken of the story III an Off
cial way.
Several months ago Mr.. Carleton en-
ployed as a clerk in his office Miss
Josephine Harris, as the successor of
c. c. Wylie. The clerk in the superin-
tendent's office acts also as clerk for
the state board of education, and the
position carries with IL under the law
a salary of $125 a month That was the
salary Mr., Wylie received, but Miss
Harris too the position under an
agreement with Mr.. Carleton to re-
ceive but $50 a month. When the
month was up Mr.. Carleton presented
an order from Miss Harris for the sal
airy that pertains to the office, $125 a
month. but the state auditor pointed
out the law, which forbids a state OFF,
Ger from drawing the salary of another
state employe. Mr.. Carleton then had
Miss Harris draw her salary, n under
the agreement entered into upon her
employment insisted that she should
return all in excess of $50 a month This
Miss Harris refused to do and she was
discharged.
A few days after the Anaconda
Standard published a story of the af-
fair. When Mr.. Carleton rea ii he
went to Miss Harris. and she said the
story as printed in the Standard was
not according to the facts, n at Mr..
Cartoons request, she sent a correc-
tion to the west side paper. which was
not printed.
The story, as originally printed. has
been published pretty generally all over
the state, and Mr.. Carleton said yes

Wreck Notes.

Captain Deloncie. who commanded La
and who went down with the
ship. was about 40 years old. He had been
in command of La Bourgogne less than
six months. having formerly been cap
tain of La Normandie.
S All the officers of La Bourgogne were
drowned. with the exception of the pur.
ser and three engineers. The officers OF
La Bourgogne were: LIE Loncie, comman-
der: Dupont, (Fr.). second captain;
,Pichard, first officer: Delinge. second
officer; Rempler. third officer: Dalido,
chief engineer: Brissac (ch.). second en-
gineer; Gautier. third engineer: Laisne.
fourth engineer: Durand. nurser: Scol.
assistenant purser; DR.. Delpch. surgeon.
Senior Du Bose. formerly of the Span
ish legation at washington. now at Mont
real. laughed when he was told that his
name was on the list OF passengers Of the
Inflated Bourgogne. "YOu can imagine
that have no desire to sail by the way
of New York." he said. 1t has since been
learned that the man referred to was Eu-
gene Dubect. wholesale miller of Mont
real. Three young ladies, the Misses
Rene and Laura Basalou and Anaid Lee
toureau, who were drowned, left Mont
real to join the convent of the Female
Franclscans In France.

Boston. July cit was learned ut
the local office OF the French Line
Steamship Co. In this city. today. that
at least nine passengers on La Bour-
gogne registered from this city. The
flrst news of the disaster reached the
employees Of the company here through
The Associated Press reports and
while they expressed the hope that the
Bourgogne might have escaped. in
spite OF reports to the contrary. they
were willing to look over their Hist
for names OF those on board from this
section.
The following were found: Miss Min

At the Office of the company it was
stated that these are the only passen-
gers who could be traced through the
local Office, but it is possible that
others from this city proceeded direct
to New York and engaged for their
passage there. This. however. can be
learned. only when the full list OF the
saved and drowned has been made
public.

Fred Miller, Swede, lost his sweet
heart through the boats not being cut
away. The girl had life belt on. but
the suction Of the sinking ship was too
powerful. He and the young woman
got into boat with many others, wait
ing for the sailors to launch it. The
boat was finally capsized and the girl
was lost. Miller climbed upon a life
raft which upset and five were
drowned of the 20 or more who were
crowded on it. The others climbed
upon the raft safely then.
