adopted at the meeting in January the

the establishment OF the teachers col
lege on condition that Tennessee gave
$3.50. 900. the city OF Nashville $500. 900 and
Dickinson county 5000 All these ap
rropriations were made but the legal
defect in the state appropriation makes
II necessary 20 defer the project until the

SECRETARY SHAW
MAKES INQUIRY
Surprised at Conditions in Ma.
Tlne Hospital Service.
TO ABANDON II INSTITUTIONS
Greatly 0IspIsased at Surgeon General
WyIan Urging Supposed Needs Upon
Individual Members Of Congress.

Washington. Oct 5.-Secretsry Of the
Treasury Shaw has been investigating
affairs in the marine hospital service,
with the result that he has decided To
recommend the abandonment Of II hos
ptals in that service now maintained at
the expense OF the government There
are only % of these hospitals in the
United States.
THEIR RELATIONS STRAINED.
Secretary Shaw's investigation was
quietly begun several weeks ago. the
particular object being TO find out why II
Is that the marine hospital service is
annually costing the government a least
twice as much every year a. 1t did only
few years ago The secretary sus-
pected extravaganza, and he now frankly
says that he found IL. Surgeon General
Walter Wyrnan is the chief officer Of the
marine hospital service. and the relations
between him and Secretary Shaw. under
whose Jurisdiction this service is included
have become rather strained.
Every year the marine hospital ser
vice publishes an Official list OF the places
where sick soldiers are cared for in the
various cities at the expense OF the gov
ernment. and what arrangements have
been made for the burial Of seamen. In
places where there is no federal marine
hospital the government contracts with
local hospitals for the trea tment Of sail
ors and with loca. undertakers for the
decent burial of those who die. These
contracts are made through Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman. and heretofore they have
not been scrutinized by the secretary Of
the treasury.
BURIAL CHARGES EXORBITANT.
When the current list was published
some weeks ago Mr.. Shaw read IL and
was Immediately struck with the fact
that I'm some cities contracts were made
TO pay as much as s25 for the burial Of
sailor. while contracts in neighboring
cities were only 81 for the same service.
There was similar discrepancy in the
contract prices for medical treatment
medicines and nursing at hospitals. Mr.
Shaw then began his Investigation.
As Mr. Shaw's recommendation cannot
be carried out without the consent OF
congress, Secretary Shaw declines for the
present to say which hospitals he would
have abandoned. He has ordered. how
ever, that the work on marine hospitals
now being constructed at Pittsburg and
Buffalo be suspended
DISPLEASED WITH DR. wYMAN.
Secretary Shaw has felt much dissatis-
faction over the alleged action Of Sur
geon General Wyman In personally urg
ing upon individual members OF congress
tho supposed needs OF the marine hospital
service.
1t is alleged that these efforts OF Dr.
Wyman have resulted in the passage OF
bills for the expansion OF the service
which would have not been approved by
the secretary OF the treasury had l.e
secretary been consulted.

This was decided at a conference to-
