Wilktnson Was Let Out Because He
Wasn't Fit for the Job.

Wasn't Fit for the Job.
4 Des Moines, Sept. 13.-John Cownie,
OF the board of control, in an interview
relative to the Wilkinson letter, said:
do not care to enter into con-
troversy with Mr.. Wilkinson and will
not more than is necessary to place the
board right before the public. The
truth is, the board on September de-
cided by a unanimous vote to dispense
with the services of the secretary. for
reasons which / do not feel called upon
to make public at this time. Judge
Kline, chairman of the board, was au-
sthorized to inform Wilkinson of the
action of the board. which ne did. 1t
was suggestedsat the time by myself, if
I am: not mistaken. that the secretary
be accorded the usual privilege of re-
signing. and he was told the resigna-
Ftion would be expected by the end OF
the month. The truth of all this will
be verified by my fellow members of

board knows. Mr.. Wilkinson did some.
time ago inform Mr.. Kline that he be-
slieved there was a leak, but he gave it
as his opinion that one OF the employees
of the Office was the culprit. We made
an investigation and found his sus-
spicions to be groundless. He did not
say at that time that in his Judgment
a member OF the board was guilty: he
has reached that conclusion since the
day the board asked for his iresigna-
ton.
The board 10 empowered under the
law to allow the secretary a salary OF
81, 900 a year. We started Wilkinson in
at $1,000 and never found him worthy
of an increase. This is mentioned
merely to show the animus Of the at
tack. The telegram from Armour, which
he publishes with 80 much gusto, means
nothing, as every one can readily see.
