DAVIS GIVES HIS SIDE.
Announces Appointment of New State Board of Health and RakeS Old
 Members for Charging Fees.

In replying to the communica- tion of the four members of the state board of health who have resigned, Governor Davis an- nounces the appointment of Drs. J. P. Runyan and J. P. Shep- pard of Little Rock, Dr.. R. A. Hilton of El Dorado and a fourth member who has not yet signi- fled his acceptance.
 Furthermore, he says:
 ''I am very glad, indeed, that they did resign. Nv attention was called to the fact last Sun day that they were charging one dollar each for health certificates. 1 found that they were getting large sums of money each day by this means. Upon inquiry l found that no other city Mem phis, Texarkana or Hot Springs was charging cent for health certificates. They were issued absolutely free.
 'I found that our state board of health was making merchan- disc out of the necessities of the people in this time of trouble. l found they were issuing certifi- cates to people from Louisiana, thereby endangering the lives of our own citizens.
 "I found they were receiving a dollar each for these certifi- cates. l found they were send ing circular letters into Louisiana as to how health certificates could be obtained, and even after Gen. Haynes had issued his orders to the state guard that no special permits should be honored, and even after Dr. Cantrell had promised that he would issue no more, he issued four in violation of this agreement to Louisiana parties.
 ''I found that yellow fever ex- ists in an epidemic form at Lake Providence, twenty-six miles from the state line and forty miles from Lake Village. l feared that yellow fever would be brought into this state by this indiscriminate use of health certificates for pay. ,..-.
 There will be no lapse of the state board of health. It will continue but no more fees will be charged for health certifi- cates. The people of Arkansas going to and from Little Rock to their homes will not be charged $1 each for health certificates, as by the old board. There will be no special permits issued to peo- pie from Louisiana and other infected districts for money or otherwise. Each certificate here after will bear on it's face the in- scription: This certificate is not valid if paid for.' So this puts the matter beyond all question, and the board will continue busi- ness at the same old stand.
 'I want to say to the people of this state that we are trying to protect them from yellow fever; that the guardsmen, the soldier boys, are out on the bor- ders of the state working for 43 cents a day. They are doing the real quarantine work, and l do not think it right for the board of health, a coterie of doctors, to sit in Little Rock and grow rich out of the necessities and calam- ities that have visited our peo- pie, and these boys doing the work practically for nothing" IMPORTANT NOTICE.

TYNER CASE is HERE.
for Requisition Will Be
Heard ON Tuesday

Next Tuesday the Thomas T. Tyner
case, which has been attracting so
much attention at Wichita the past
week, will come UP in Topeka, in the
form of an application by Governor
Deneen of Illinois. for the possession of
Tyner through requisitiOn proceedings.
The requisition papers were received
today by Governor Hoch, but a protest
against the honoring of the papers had
already been fled. Governor HOch set
the case for hearing next Tuesday, the
hour to be announced later.
Tyner is wanted at Joliet, where he
is under Indictment for swindling by the
old fake fo0trace game. It is claimed
that Tyner defrauded Frank /. Ball
out of $4,000. Tyner was assisted by
James McKensie, Eddie Barnes, Henry
Burnes, James German and Oscar
Maxon, a smooth gang of cons" who
had been working that section of the
country, says the report.
Tyner was arrested in Wichita several
days ago. That he has powerful friends
working for his release was indicated by
the fact that attorneys were at once
hired to bring habeas corpus proceed
ings to secure his release. Chief of Po-
lice G. It. Cubbon stole a march on the
attorneys, however, by spiriting Tyner
out of town before the papers in the
habeas corpus case were served. When
the chief and Tyner went to is a mys-
terry. He has not yet been located, and
they may stay in hiding until next

SHIPS TELESCOPE.
One Vessel Crashes Into Another a
Distance of Twenty-Five Feet.

Wilmington, Del, Dec. 3O.=The
steamship Pennsylvania from New
York for Philadelphia and thence to
San Francisco and Seattle, was in col
lision with the schooner Prescott Pal
mer on Cherry islands fats in the
Delaware river today. At the time of
the accident the Palmer was hard
aground on the flats. The Pennsyl-
schooner crashed into its stern to
distance of nearly 25 feet. The steam
ship was unable to withdraw from the
schooner and both crafts are now lying
on the muddy bottom. It is feared
that the schooner will fill with water
when the tide returns. No one was
injured in the accident.
Shortly after the collision the two
vessels drifted ashore. They are still
fast together. The agents of the
schooner estimate the damage at $780,
600. The Pennsylvania is apparently
uninjured.

San Domingo squabbIers Don't Know
What to Expect.

Cape Haytien, Hayti. Dec. 9O-The
Dominican cruiser Independencia has
started for Monte Christi on the south
ern coast of Santo Domingo, according
to information received here, but it is
not known whether she is acting in be-
half of the fugitive President Morales
or in the interest of Vice President
Caceres, the temporary president of
Santo Domingo. General Rodriguez,
the governor of Monte Cristi, who is
understood to be supporting Morales,
has occupied San Lorenzo de Guayubin
about 25 miles southeast of Monte
Cristi and is strengthening his position
there While awaiting the arrival of
Morales when the future movements of
the forces of General Rodriguez will be
decided upon.
The inhabitants of the district of
Monte Cristi are in a state of agitation
as it is expected that the decisive strug-
gle between the rival leaders will take
place in that part of the country. There
is also anxiety as to the attitude of the
United States. Telegraph communica-
tion between Puerta Plata and Monte
Cristi is Interrupted.

OAKLAND GIVES UP.
VIII Not Contest for Heery and Nor
toms Additions.

The city of Oakland has given over
its fight to secure Heery and Norton's
additions.
After a consultation this afternoon
between Mayor Don Coffman of that
municipality and their city attorney,
D. H. Branaman, together with several
councilmen decision was arrived at to
drop any further contest.
This action will do away with the
publishing of the ordinance by Oakland
in their official city paper, the Oakland
Blade, as had been contemplated. The
ordinance was to have been published
this evening.
1--WE have decided to pass up the mat
ter, said D. H. Branaman. 1--WE
thought it would be better not to pub
lish our ordinance for it would simply
involve those people down in the addi-
tions in complex legal tangle which
would take some trouble to untangle
and would probably prove in the end
rather costly to them. Rather than do
this we thought it would be more annie
able to let it go. The two additions are
divided. 7 understand that most of the
residents in Heerys addition want to
come into Topeka but on the other hand
the majority of those living in Norton's
addition would rather stay with Oak
land. But since it has come about as it
has we viii not push this attempt any
further.
Ihere IS some 1eennS IN oakland
against the council of Topeka because
of their action last night. They dom t
believe that they were treated exactly
right and that probably a little sharp
practice was resorted to- but that feel
ing will pass off. AS far as the decision
of the district court is concerned we
feel rather jubilant over it and believe
that what We contended for was estab-
lished.
There are still some nice legal points
which might be raised. The one is
whether the city council of Topeka had
any right to publish that ordinance in
the Capital, 1 think that there is small
question but what il should have been
published in the State Journal, since
that was the official city paper; the
other is that the court would not recog-
nize a difference Of a few hours between
morning and evening in publishing the
ordinance as being in favor of either
party But that is all over with.
From one standpoint Oakland is glad
that Topeka secured the additions since
it takes in the crema tory. Before this
the crematory was not in either Oak
land or Topeka and there was no way
of exercising a strict Jurisdiction over

and Brought to Topeka.

George Turner. who has been want
ed by the police of this city since last
September for a robbery committed
about that time, was captured in
Kansas City last week and brought
here by Deputy Sheriff Lucas last
night. He was taken to the city court
this morning and his bond fixed at
$500. Not being able to furnish bond
he was taken to the county Jail, where
he will remain until he has his trial
in the district court
Turner got in a shooting scrape in
Kansas City last week and during the
affray was shot in the arm. This
necessitated treatment at the police
surgeons Office. and while there he
was identified as the man wanted in
this city He at first refused to re-
turn without requisitiOn papers, but
finally consented to return without
them when informed that resistance
would be useless and that such actions
would probably only add to the
length of his term in the penitentiary
if convicted
