DAN BURNS MAN
FRIDAY RESIGNS
HIS POSITION
Leon Dennery Seeks
Other Pastures.
ED B. CARROLL GETS THE JOB
HEALTH BOARD WOULD NOT
STAND THE STRAIN.
Was willing to Abide by the Rail
roads Dictation, but Dennery as
Secretary Was One Too
Many.

The by no means delicate stomach of
the San Francisco Board of Health has
finally rebelled at Leon Dennery. That
political creation of Daniel NJ. Burns Of
board yesterday II Will be accepted az
the next meeting Edward 3. Carroll. for
merly statistician to the board, has been
appointed TO the vacancy created by Mr.
Deuncry'S enforced resignation.
The resignation of Dennery was fore
Casted some weeks ago in The Call, as
was the successor OF Carroll. Since ms
appointment upon Burns orders individ-
uai members Of the Board of Health have
made no secret of their dissatisfaction
No matter what their political debts to
Burns might be, or his to them. they
have never been willing to stand for Den
merry as a prominent and Improbable
member Of their political association. His
private and public reputation has been
such that even Burns has found him a
position where he will have more time
for his politics and be less open to public
criticism and ccnsure. Mr.. Dennery, it
is understood, will after the 18th of the
month be employed as district deputy to
Internal Revenue Inspector Lynch. In
that position he will have the same sal
of the cause will be extended.
when | took this job" said Mr.. Den
merry yesterday. i never expected to keep
it. ! was under fire from the newspapers
for that reason Now l can retire with
a clean record and no paper in town can
say l have done anything crooked. 1
won't say what job I'm going into next,
but l am needed more downtown, where
there's something doing, than / am here,
and I'll just hand this out to you for a
tip: I'll have more time and more people
where I'm going"
Despite his assertion that his resigna-
tion was voluntary, it is known that the
members of the board informed Burns
weeks ago that the course Dennery has
taken must eventuate in his retirement
They were willing to take orders SO long
as their individual regulations did not
suffer by association, but to no further
extent That they were still willing to
bow down to the Burns-Herr political
corporation Is evidenced by the fact that
Edward Carroll. brother-in-law Of George
Crocker vice president of the Southern
Pacific has been appointed to Dennery's S
place, but their subserviency in that case
finds extenuation in the fact that Carroll
is a competent man and one against whom
nothing discrcdtable can be said, either
personally or politically.

Its appearance checked the rising strug-

Grand Duke of Nassau. He was wrapped
in his hooded robe of green velvet, and the
five points of the golden star of Nassau
blazed upon his breast.

The duke turned his Swallowed face and
spoke to Hollywood in low voice.

CHAPTER XIX.
In Diplo matte Relations,

It was late on the following morning be-
fore the castle was awake. 1t almost SEEM
ed as If the guests had waited for the ap-
pearance of the reassuring daylight before
they ventured from their rooms. Four huge
fires roared in the four great chimneys
round the vast hall where the breakfast
was in progress.
Sagan, in his weather-stained hunting
suit and leggings, stood at the upper win
dow overlooking the courtyard, where the
huntsmen and gaunt dogs, the famous Sa-
ban boar hounds, were already collected h,
anticipation of the boar hunt arranged to
take place on that day. The sky had clear
ed, but the tsa ragged and howled after its
perennial custom about the castle.

Sagan was amazed at his own m moderation

to see ii have its due effect upon the Eng

and stubborn beside the grave.

like an accusation.
