Yesterday in the condition Of DR.. Arthur

poisoning. ~
DR. Whitcomb. who, with DR.. A. Schwy-
zer. has the case In charge, said last

There is every treason to feel greatly
pleased with Dr. Miller's condition. A
vast change has taken place In the past
twenty-four hours and the patient is now
resting easily, with q very good chance
OF recovery. Statements have been made
regarding the case without my authority,
which have led some Of his friends to
rear a fatal termination of his illness. 7

In very critical condition, but 1 have
strong hopes Of a continued Improvement.
DIR. Schwyzer and dressed the wound
left by the amputation Of his arm this
morning. and found that 1t was healing as
fest as could be expected. We feared ex-

OF his arm. The patient manifests a.
cheerful disposition and is making the

BOARD OF HEALTH GETS
THERE TWICE
DR.. BRACKEN DRAWS THREE
Some More of the Snaps Which the
State University and Other
Branches of State Work Support
Gov. Lind and Gen. Pope Getting
Deeply Interested.

Public Examiner Pope said yesterday
that the statement which appeared in
the daily papers Wednesday to the effect
that the matter of salaries paid the Of
ficers Of the state board of health had
been satisfactorily explained to the de-
partment was made in error.
Gen. Pope says that DR.. Bracken and
four other officers of the board all re-
ceive two salaries from the state, and
in the case Of DR.. Reynolds, state vet
erinarian, his name appears on the paw
rolls three times, for amounts aggregat-
ing 5000 per month.
The matter of salaries IS one which
will receive attention at the conference
between the governor and the state
board of health which will be called for
next week
DR.. Bracken has since he has been Sec
retary OF the board received $500 per
year as secretary of the board and 81 900
as instructor at the state university
DIR. Reynolds, the state veterinarian.
receives for his services $50 as an officer
of the board of health and $75 per month
each from two departments of the state
university. In addition to this, another
veterinarian is employed in this depart
ment at a salary of s1.SOO per year. Dr.
Reynolds, it is said, draws his salary for
. king the monthly expense bills. while
the S1,SO0 year official does most of
the work.
DR.. Westbrooke. in charge of the bac-
THEOLOGICAL department, is on the paw
rolls of the board for s1,5O0. and his name
appears again on the university roll for
$1,S00 per year.
The three assistants in the department.
Drs. l.. B. Wilson, A. W. Miller and o.
Mcdaniel, all draw salaries as officials
of the board and instructors in the uni
versity.
OF the eXtravagant expenditures cred
tied to the board by ths public examiner
and which appear on the records, are
several interesting items. There are s55

LII Mayor kiefer Consents. the Public
Works Deadlock RreaL.s

An unlooked-for incident occurred at
the meeting of the board of public works
Yesterday and to no one was it more nm
looked for than it was to Nicholas Pott
g1eser If he had but taken advantage Of
1t he would now be the president of the
board.
Messrs Mabon and SandeIl objected to
any more secret sessions and FIVE ballots
were taken in open meeting; on the first
vote one ballot was blank one for Mabon
and two for Mr.. Ames; the second ballot
was the same; one the three succeeding
ballots Mr.. Pottgieser received two votes
and Mr.. Ames received two: Messrs Ma
bon and Sandell voted for Mr. Pottgieser
and Messrs. Pottgieser and Ames voted
for Mr.. Anles. And still there is no or
ganfZatiOn.
After the fifth ballot Mr. Mabon adj
dressing Messrs. Ames and Pottgieser
said
I will dare either Of you to vote for
Mr.. Pottgieser, but ! suppose you will
have to see the king first"
No answer was made to this thrust.
but Immediately after the board ad-
Journed for the day Messrs. Ames and
Pottgieser sought and had an interview
with the mayor lasting howard of half
an hour but whether either or both will
unite with Messrs. Mabon and Sandel in
their new move and today vote for Mr..
Pottgieser could not be learned.
