Secretary Shaw Says Government En-
ployes Are Not Victims of Overwork.

Baltimore, Md, May Secretary
of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, in an
address to the graduates of the
school of instruction of the revenue
service, which is located at Arundel
Cove, in Curtis bay, said there is one
branch of the government service-he
declined to say which-where they
court martial man if he has good
Ideas. He declared after the man sup
pressed his ideas for two or three
years no move proposed themselves
and he became a figurehead.
"You men of the revenue cutter SER
vice are not as important in the eyes
of the world as men who are lying
around oil the time, apparently only
waiting for an opportunity to do some
fighting" said Secretary Shaw. "There
is one thing about all the governments
departments, and that is that you are
not likely to die from overwork.
II Willingly would go a thousand
miles to see the grave of man who
died from overwork, but am sure /
would not find that he had been in the
employ of the United States govern
ment."

HOW THEY MANAGED.
The San Francisco. Newspapers Figh'
to Get Out Editions.

to Get Out Editions.
The following dispatch from San
Francisco the morning following the
earthquake gives an account of some
OF the difficulties experienced in pub.
fishing the daily newspapers:
"Only one of the San Francisco
newspapers has suspended publica-
ton, the Evening Post Being unable
to acquire plant in the
vicinity of the city, has. retired
from the field for sixty days. All 9TH
ers are issuing, as usual. At 5:13 on
the morning of the earthquake, April
is, power and water failed In every
newspaper office in San Francisco.
Still, in the hope that as the day grew
these agencies would be provided, the
gathering of news went on as usual
When the conflagration made it ap-
parent that all plants would be de-
stroyed, the Bulletin put at work a
force in its composing rooms and a
handbill was handset and some hun
dreds of copies run off on the proof
press, giving the salient features of
the days news.
"The morning papers, the Call.
Chronicle and Examiner, retired to
Oakland, and there on Thursday morn
ing, issued joint paper from the Of
flee of the Oakland Tribune On Fri
day they split forces again, the Elk
aminer retaining the use of the Trib-
upe plant, and the Call and Chronicle
issuing from the office of the Oakland
Herald. Two days later the Call Sc
cured the service of the Oakland En-
quirer plant. On Friday, the Bulletin,
after suspension of one day, made
arrangements for the use in the after
noon of the Oakland Herald equip
ment, and from these sources the San
Francisco papers have been issuing.
Offices were hurriedly opened on
Fillmore street, which today is the
main thoroughfare of San Francisco,
and from these headquarters the news
of the day as at first gathered had
been transmitted by means of automo-
biles and the ferry service to the Oak
land shore. There were also accepted
such advertisements as have been of
fered. The number of these is per-
haps the best visual sign at present of
the resurrection of the new city. 1t
was noted that in a fourteen-page pa
per printed April az, by the Examin-
er, there were over nine pages of adj
vertisements, and in sixteen page
paper published April % by the
Chronicle at least so per cent of its
space was devoted to the same end"

NAPKIN sEWED UP in WOMAN.
Victim of Oversight During Operation
Now Sues Physicians.

Webster City, May 17.-That Drs.
Fay and Shoop of Des Moines sewed a
napkin up in her abdomen is the
charge made by Mrs. c. G. Gillispie of
this city, who has brought suit for
damages in the sum of $4,000. The
piece of cloth was undisturbed for nine
months within her abdomenal cavity
unknown to her. Her petition charges
Drs. Fay and Shoop with malpractice
for leaving the napkin inside her after
performing an operation for appendi-
citis.
