BOARD TURNS
DOWN GOVERNOR

The state hospital board, composed
OF Governor Dickerson, Controller Egg
gers and Treasurer Ryan, held a meet
ing at Reno Thursday afternoon for
the purpose of settling the dispute be-
tween DR.. Gibson. the superintendent,
and Assistant Driscoll. Some two
weeks ago the latter was dismissed by
the superintendent for insubordination,
but refused to leave, intimating that if
either had to 60 it would be the super
~intendent.
A meeting of the board was called
for thursday afternoon to settle the
matter. The governor wished Gibson
removed and Driscoll retained, but this
did not meet with the Jews of the 9TH
er two members, and then the chief
executive made a motion that both be
removed. This was voted down, after
which Driscoll was removed.
D.. y. Bingham. a Reno journalist,
said to be an anti Dickerson man, was
named to fill the vacancy.
Republican chances for success at the
polls this fall are daily increasing.
