GOVERNOR DURBIN HOME
PLEASED WITH HOSPITALITY EX-
TENDED HIM IN LOUISVILLE.
He Is Emphatic in Correcting a False
hood-No Communications Re-
ceived from Health Board.

Governor Durbin returned from Washing
said that he was pleased with the encamp-
ment Of the G.. A. r. and gratified at the
election of Frank Martin as commander-in-
chief of the Sons of Veterans.
The attention of the Governor was called
to a statement alleged to have been made
by. DR.. j. n. Hurry, of the State Board of
Health, and the Governor expressed him
self with some emphasis. Neither the
Board of Health nor it's secretary, he said,
had sent him communication since the
efforts were put forth to suppress small
pox in the river counties. He had re-
ceived three communications from city
councils advising the expenditure of the
epidemic fund to stamp out the disease
in the State generally and letter criti-
cising the secretary of the board for not
notifying local board of smallpox in a
nsighboring city.
Whenever evidence is presented" said
the Governor, that the disease threatens
to become epidemic, no time will be lost
in using the epidemic fund"
In the course of general conversation
Governor Durbin expressed the regret
that he had not seen a newspaper state
ment to the effect that he and his party
had not been courteously treated in Louis
VILE when they were on their way to the
Nancy Hanks dedication at Lincoln City.
II do not care on my own account" said
the Governor, but such a statement is
gross injustice to our entertainers. When
the managers of the Louisville horse show
heard that my party was to remain in the
city over night they sent an invitation to
me to attend the exhibition. When our
train arrived at Louisville the mayor and
a delegation were at the station to receive
us and to escort us to the hotel. We were
escorted to the horse show by Colonel Cas-
tleman and other prominent citizens of
Louisville. Every possible attention was
shown us and we were treated with that
refined hospitality for which Kentuckians
are noted. If 1 had seel the slanderous
statement before 1 left the State l would
have corrected 1t matter of justice
to our courteous entertainers in Louisville"
