Mckinley Doubtful.

This is Mrs. Storer's description Of what
happened when she mentioned the sub
ject of the appointment to President Nc
Kinley:
Mr.. Mckinley looked at me quizzically.
I want peace he said. and I am told
that your friend Theodore-whom I know
only slightly-is always getting into rows
with everybody. | am afraid he is too
pugnacious.
Give him a chance | said. to prove
that he can be peaceful. Every place he
has had he was put into in order that he
might fight The civil service commits
sion and the police board required contin-
ual hard fighting. and he has done it we'll
and squarely, without party bias
After some further talk, MIR. McKin-
ley said L shall think it over. and. IL
| can, j will make that appointment: but
And. he added, laughing, L sincerely
hope your friend Theodore will not be too
pugnacious. q am afraid that the Pres
ident thought he was, later. for Mr.. Nc
Spain, and Mr.. Roosevelt worked hard to
force it upon the country.)'
Hanna Apprehensive.
Mrs. Storer then quotes these sentences
of letter written, she says. in 1911, by
lone Of Mr.. McKinley's dearest frien-s,"
Myron T. Herrick:
Il will tell you a little incident which
may be significant to you I'm the light of
later years. l went with Mr.. Hanna to
Canton to see Mr. Mckinley after his
second election. and tMr. Hanna. we
went into the room before greeting HIM.
said Do YOU know the most important
thing he should do within the next four
years. And when i asked what it was,
he replied: Keep alive! For IL that young
chap should ever become President he
would tear the country to pieces
The reason given for the recall of the
Storers from Vienna was that they were
too active at Rome in attempting to have
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul elevated
to a cardinalate. 1t was alleged on be-
half of the Storers in a pamphlet setting
forth their side of the controversy that
Col Roosevelt himself had requested that
the Storers become active in behalf of
Archbishop Ireland. The President in a
letter to Secretary of State Root denied
that this was so.

Following the report of disruption
at the city hospital comes rumor
of dissention among members of the
Women's Auxiliary to the city hospi-
tai. That organization has not met
for some time and has practically
suspended work. It's leading officers
declare the hospital Is getting along
nicely, that there is no need for so
much activity in the auxiliary as
formerly and that it will probably
resume meetings after the Christ
mas holidays.
When the president of the auxil-
iary, Mrs. j. S. Wight. was ques-
toned as to the inactivity of the
body, she said she had simply not
called any meetings. When ques-
toned as to the cause, she said there
was no cause, that the organization
simply had not met. She said
the auxiliary had not been disor-
ganized and she would let the
EVENING NEWS know when 1t
would meet again. When asked If
dissension among members was the
cause for the present inactivity, she
Indignantly asked II the EVENING
NEWS was trying to stir up strife.

ident Of the auxiliary. denied there

was any dissention. She said there
had been no meetings of late be-
cause of Mrs. Wight's absence, and
stated there would probably be a
meeting the first Thursday in Jan
uary.
Mrs. Henry Dillon, another vice
president of the organization. said
she did not know why it had not met
of late and referred her interviewer
to Mrs. Hall.
Mrs. c. w. Sheath. who for long
period was secretary Of the auxiliary,
likewise declared she did not know
the cause of the present inactivity
and referred the reporter to Mrs. Os-
car Schroeder, her successor. Mrs.
Schroeder said activity had been sus-
pended for the holidays and would
be resumed next month. She also
denied there was any disruption in
the organization. An effort to see
Mrs. I. R. Robbins, the treasurer,
proved futile.
1t Is understood that the last two
or three times that meeting of the
auxiliary was called quorum failed
to be present. 1t is declared that the
president has expressed her willing
ness to call meeting whenever the
ladies will assure quorum.

concerning the charge that the hos

the nurses and thereby aid in their

Miss Wood Talks Further.
More than one at the hospital
gave positive statements today that
nurses had advanced farther under
Miss Woods reign than under that
of any other. They testified that
when Miss Wood took charge she
found nurses had been neglected to
such an extent that one who had
been there for a year did not even
know how to give a typhoid bath.
Miss Wood was asked about the
| breaking of q rule which did not per-
nit her to leave the hospital without
notifying a manager. She declared
she had not seen any rules Tor the
superintendent or her assistant, and
she thought it was perfectly proper
| for her to leave at certain times,
when she left competent person IN
charge, as she claimed was done by
superintendents generally in hospl-
J tails.
( Regarding lectures, 1t was stated
that there had been no time for
them; that the hospital has almost
continually been taxed to more than
its capacity: that there had been
a large number of operations, and

RETAIL CLERKS
MAY ORGANIZE
Claim Poorly Paid and Hours
Are Too Long.

That the retail clerks of the city
are poorly paid, and have unreason-
able hours and Should be organized
into a union that would better their
conditions, is the opinion of local
labor leaders, who are planning to
get together these employees in a To-
cal, in the near future.
The union will include both nen
and women, the latter, especially, as
they seem to be the ones that are
paid more meager wages and have
longer to work.
1t seems that because OF neglect
of this form of employment by the
union organizers that the salaries
paid the clerks have decreased to a
deplorable minimum. The clerks are
believed to be anxious to better their
conditions through union.

the physician to discuss the alleged

that the superintendent or her assist
ant were not giving satisfaction and
we're to be ousted. He said he was
not prominent in affairs among men,
bers of the medical staff and there
fore was not interested in any con-
troversies that might arise among
them. The physician declared he ap-
peared at the hospital to administer
anaesthetics, but was therefore not
accorded any more privileges than
any other physician in the city now
has. To question as to alleged un-
cleanliness and untidiness at the hos
pital he said "bosh." He was loud

ments had been installed for money
saved from other ends, thereby pre-
venting an increase in expenses.
