Although the survey of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done. the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating s3,976.-

tions over $4.000,000 has been set

General De Vets Niece.

Greeley.-Living on 1,400-acre
farm in the new Crow Creek district.
far from relatives, her property con-
fiscated in her native land of South
Africa, is Mrs. Sannie De Wet Smith,
niece of General De Wet of Boer war
fame, and grand niece of the late Dom
Paul, once president of the Transvaal
Republic and the Orange Free State.
Mrs. Smith is now the wife of b. L..
Smith, well-to-do ranchman, and this
marriage was the result of a romance
which developed when Mrs. De Wet,
as she was then known, was travelling
with her three children in California.
At the opening Of the Boer war the
widow and children were travelling in
America, and when all their property
was taken from them by the English,
they were thrown on their own re-.
sources.
Speaking several languages and
having a knowledge OF music, the
mother successfully made a good liv-
ing for herself and children. About
twenty-five years ago, when she was
twelve years old, Mrs. Smith went on
trip with her Boer grandfather,
when he ''trekked" with wagons and
oxen, into Central Africa and to Lake
Tangeneka.
Dom Paul she remembers as the
kindest Of men, whom all his relatives
venerate, and she often spent months
in his home, as well as in that of Gen
eral De Wet.
Mrs. Smith says the Greeley district
ia 30 much like Southern Africa in ap.
pearance and climate that she chose
it for her home, at least until her
property in Cape Town has been re-
stored to her by the English govern
ment.

Washington.-Charges against Sec

pay private travelling expenses of a
nephew Of the secretary, were made
in an affidavit filed Monday by Rep
resentative Hitchcock (Dem.) Nebras-

Secretary Ballinger late Monday
night issued lengthy statement in
which in most vigorous terms he de-
sentative Hitchcock before the com
mittee and and aimed at the Interior
Department and general land office,
were without foundation.
Answering in turn each of the
charges made today by Mr.. Hitchcock
in his statement, Secretary Ballinger
asserts that insofar as they allege
any extravaganza, wrong-doing or IA
favoritism on his part. they are abso

False; ridiculously false; equally
false; equally ridiculous; a peculiarly
unwarranted assault upon an efficient
government officer" the latter refer.
ring to Mr.. Schwartz, chief Of field
service. are expressions which Mr.
Ballinger uses in his reputation OF
the various charges.
In regard to appointing relative
j. S. Ballinger, as confidential clerk
when he became commissioner of the
land office, the secretary says this
was because he was not personally &C
quainted before coming here with any
officers or clerks in the land office
and desired to have as confidential
clerk some one whom he knew.
He says that Judge Wright was re
moved, not to make way for j. S. Bal
linger, but because of Judge Wright's
age. he being nearly eighty, made him
physically disqualified to perform hi.
duties"
The vacancy on the law board, he
says, was filled not by Jack Ballin
ger but by Judge Grey.
He says that the certain large
brick chimney" to which Mr.. Ballin
ger alluded, was erected pursuant tt
a specific appropriation for the pur
pose by Congress; that the additiona
clerks in the land office complained O.
were necessitated by the Congress
