CANNOT DIVIDE SALARY.
Minor Employees at Freedman's Hos
pital Must Wait.

An order recently issued by the assist
ant secretary of the interior abolishing the
office of second assistant surgeon at the
Freedman's Hospital has been rescinded,
although the office has not been filled.
The original order was issued at the in
stance and upon the recommendation of
DIR. William A. Warfeld, the surgeon-in-
chief of the hospital, who said he did not
believe the necessity existed for more than
one assistant. The office paid a salary of
1000 per year. and this sum, it was ar
ranged by the Interior Department. should
be paid in certain proportions to fifteen or
twenty of the minor employees of the hos
pital
The order passed the board of District
Commissioners to whom all such Matters
are referred, but was turned down by the
auditor for the Interior Department, who
stated that he did not believe that such
use could be made of funds appropriated
by Congress for a specific purpose. He
therefore refused to allow the claims made
for its payment in shares to the other en-
ployes, and the order was accordingly re-
voked. 1t is not likely that another second
assistant will be appointed. but that Con-
gress will be asked to adjust the matter at
the next session.
