CABINET MEMBERS
STICK BY TAFT
Meyer and Stimson, Friends of
Roosevelt, Will Not Aid in
Presidential Fight.

Two OF Roosevelt's Warmest admirers
in tue Taft Cabinet, Secretary of the
Navy Meyer and Secretary of War Slim
son, made IL known yesterday that they
will stand firmly by President Taft in the
event of the colonel entering the race.
These two members OF the Taft Cab
met, who while serving under the pres
ent administration have. kept in close
personal touch with Oyster Bay, have
contended right along that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not enter the field against Presi-
dent Taft, and yesterdays acknowledg-
ment is, in the opinion of Republicans
here, the last evidence that is needed to
show that the coloneTs friends have been
forced to the conclusion that his hat
really is ''in the ring"
There have been rumors for several
days that Secretary Meyer would join
with Senator Lodge. of Massachusetts,, in
declaring for Roosevelt, provided the col
onel indicated that he was in the running.
Some members Of the Massachusetts del
egation in Congress were Of the opinion
that this had been Secretary Meyers
disposition until the Columbus speech
was delivered.
There is nothing, however in what the
Secretary himself had to say yesterday
that indicates that he has ever contem-
plated any other act than remaining alb
solutely loyal to the Taft candidacy.
Secretary Stimson's answer to questions
as to his attitude as between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Stimson's political sponsor
was the announcement yesterday that
Mr.. Stimson would deliver a speech in
Chicago on March in support Of the
Taft administration. 1t was added that
the Secretary OF War will make several
other speeches on the stump in the fur
therance of the Presidents candidacy.

Board Wants to Know Why County
Hospital Costs So Much.
INCREASE IN COST IS DOUBLED
maintenance of Hospital for Eight
and One-Half Months Exceeds
Last Years Total by Ten
Thousand Dollars.

Investigation to determine why main
tenance OF the county hospital has cost
several thousand dollars more this year
than 1t cost last year was launched by
the Board Of County Commissioners,
when resolution by Commissioner Tom
oConnor calling for comparative state
ment of cost for the two years was
adopted. All the commissioners voted for
the resolution MIR. O'Connor explained
that 1t was intended as reflection upon
no one, least of all upon Commissioner
Best, who is chairman of the county hos
pital committee.
Mr.. O'Connor said he believes the audi
tors report will show that hospital
maintenance cost for the first eight and
one half months this year has exceeded
the cost for the same period last year by
$4,000.
The board and the people ought to
know what the figures are and IL the
cost is too high we ought to know it and
know the cause so that we can remedy
It," said Commission O'Connor.
Mr.. oConnor also called attention ia
the fact that the order for monthly re-
ports Of the number of inmates of the
hospital and the Riverside home and the
per capita cost for caring for them is not
being observed. A resolution calling for
strict compliance with this order in the
future was adopted.

FINE GOBOONS CHANGE HANDS
Nebraska Telephone Company Gets
Them from Independent Offices.
SOME CLASS TO FURNITURE
Independent Telephone Company
. Had Swell Mahogany Desks,
Which the Purchasers
Are Afraid OF.

There will be fine brass cuspidors, and
mahogany desks on the hands of the
Nebraska Telephone company as soon as
the old plant of the defunet Independent
Telephone company ceases to operate in
Omaha. 1t has been the wonder Of some
of the employees of the Nebraska Tele-
phone company, since they have had oc-
casion to step into the Independent plant,
how the new company had the nerve to
stock up with the swell furniture that
was found there when the Bell company
bought the plant.
why, there We're mahogany roll top
desks till you couldn't rest" said one of
the Bell people, land giant brass go-
boons' that must have cost some SIS
apiece. These cuspidors were too arls-
tocratic for us over In the plant Of the
Bell company"
They Make Fine Racks.
And there was no question but that he
was right, for some of these fancy brass
cuspidors have been hauled over to the
Bell plant, where they now adorn the
offices as umbrella racks. They swal-
low up an umbrella nearly to the hilt, and
as an umbrella rack makes tasty ap-
pearance
ITO think anyone over there ever had
the temerity to expeetorate in one of
those costly vessels" exclaim the men
of the Bell office now as they stick their
three-dollar umbrellas in the polished
brass "goboon."
Desks Something Swell.
But the mahogany desks are still more
costly items in the stock of furniture
that adorned the rooms of the Indepen-
dent Telephone company. There was
practically nothing in the way Of wood
work in the furniture that was not ma
hogany. The Bell telephone people have
always had to work on polished quarter
sawed oak desks and tables and while
some Of them of late have expressed
some jealousy of the former employees of
the defunct company, none Of them have
as yet had the nerve to haul over one of
the mahogany desks into the. Bell offices
for personal use although many of the
mahogany desks are now idle.
