BY Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Edward
c. Finney, assistant to the secretary OF
the interior, continued his testimony to-
day before the BallingerP inves.
tigating committee. He was questioned
further about official acts of Mr.. Balm
ger and insisted the secretary had acted
in good faith in turning over the Cum
ningham claims to Assistant Secretary
Pierce
There was full attendance Of the
committee, as an important question was
to be decided. Attorney Brandeis re,
quested yesterday that he be allowed
to defer cross examination of Mr.. Pierce
and other subordinates of Mr. Ballinger
until he had an opportunity to examine
the secretary himself. The committee
appeared to be divided on the question,
so action on ii was postponed until to-
day,
Attorney Vertrees examined Mr.. Fin
ney as to various matters which had
been discussed by witnesses for the pros
ecution. 1t has been, claimed that Sec
retary Balllnger modified contract
with power companies using water from
Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada so
as to give the company better terms.
Mr.. FinneY said every contract relating
TO Lake Tahoe was prepared by the
reclamation service,

been led to believe there was no money
in the reclamation fund, whereas some
$4,000, 600 was available
Mr.. Finney said that when the mat
ter first was presented to the attorney
general both Mcssrs, Newell and Davis
were writing that there was no money
on hand for new projects Of any sort
He said also that after the opinion
had been rendered Newell complained
that the statement of facts to the at
torney general was not fair one and
that he believed that if the reclamation
service had been allowed to present the
matter the opinion would have been diff
fercnt,
90 1t was agreed then that new case
should be presented 10 the attorney gen

Newell was included in the papers on
which a second opinion was asked The
second opinion confirmed the first one -
Mr. Flnncy was cross examined by
Attorney Brandeis, who said he would
defer some Of his questions until after
the committee ruled as to whether he
would cross examine witnesses after

be permitted to attend school iii any case
for a period OF three weeks after quar-
antine is removed. In accordance with the
law DIsinfection should be thorough. and
following ii the doors and windows should
be kept open as long as possible 10 allow
an abundance Of sunlight and fresh air
10 enter. which is an important part OF
dlSnfcction.
People should be urged TO carefully
watch for The first symptoms Of the dis
ease. and however mild ii may be. the
same strict precautions should be taken
in all cases. Vomiting and sore throat
should always b. looked upon with sus-
picion. and children should be detained
from attendance at school whenever they
occur. Failure TO report the disease or
attempts TO conceal it's presence should
be punished to the full extent provided
by law. Teachers should be instructed to

| symptoms OF sickness or eruption and TO
promptly exclude children SO affected.
Common Drinking Cup.
One Of the frequent sources of scarlet
| fever. dphthcria and other contagious
diseases is the use of the common drink
ing cup. In the schools this should not
| be permitted Where il is impossible To
nrovide the overflow tap children should
be required TO use Individual cups. which
should be numbered This rule should be
| strictly enforced by teachers.
| Attention Is again called 20 the I'M
poriance OF fighting against the bad air
| conditions everywhere so prevalent. No
| other agency is so directly responsible for
| i'll health and contagious deseaSes, both
! In the home and schoolroom. Breathing
! impure air lowers the vitality and re-
| Slstancc 10 disease germs. and proper
ventilation should be insisted upon as the
most important of health measures.
The alarming death rate from pneu-
| monia at this time is due almost entire
| ly TO neglect of providing fresh air in
tho homes. Windows and doors arc kept
| tightly closed because Of the cold wealth
cr and the breathing OF impure air results
in the direct susceptibility 10 the infec-
ton Of pneumonia. The best proven
taliyc OF pneumonia is pure air night and
day. 1t is hoped that health officers
will spread the gospel OF fresh air and

made such park possible. He further
donated lots that lie held at the north
side OF the park. 1t took three years to
get all Of those trees started, aud Mr..
Wright's work in what was then swamp,
made it possible years later for Dodge
City to have the only large city park in
Western Kansas. Several years ago the
council, by resolution, adopted flicially
the name of Wright park for this forest
