Harry Kemp. The Kansas poet doesn't
make enough money 10 support her
in comfort. she told him over the
telephone Sunday, and besides, she
said, she has met a man she loves
more than she does Harry. She was
sorry, she said, but her ideals had
changed considerably Of late.
ITS all right. Meta" the poet told
her, Its all right" His voice choked.
If you've found a man you love more
don't think Of me- Good-by, and God
bless you"
So endeth a guileless poets nrst
lesson in love.
Kemp came from his bungalow IN
Point Pleasant. \. j., SUNDAY to call
upon Mrs. Sinclair, who has been iiv-
ing with her father, w. NJ. Fuller, at
No. ia West Eighty-seventh street.
She has been there since December
2S, when she left Kemp's bungalow
after a visit OF several weeks. Since
that time Kemp has-been coming to
New York to see her at least once
every two weeks.
He called her up soon after he ar.
rived. expecting TO make an engage
ment to take her 10 dinner.
What are you doing in New York;
she asked.

MALCOM STILL
HOLDS the FEES
Council Finance Committee
Chairman Delays Demand
for the Money

Members of the Board of Health yes
terday afternoon were somewhat sur
prlsed at not having received any COM
munication from W. +. Slower. chair
man of the Finance Committee of City
Council, after he had sent warning
by phone that be was going after Sec
retary Malcom in an attempt to secure
the fees collected by him as registrar
of vital statistics. The members watt
ed until the meeting was about to be
adjourned and then not receiving any
word from Mr.. Slower, the subject was
discussed informally.
While nothing was decided on, sew
eral of the members expressed them
selves freely on the subject, and it
was their opinion that if city finances
are no low that Mr. Malcom's fees are
wanted by the city, some means should
be taken to improve conditions. With
that end in view President Beck said
he was willing to donate to the city
his salary for the remaining two
months he has to serve, amounting to
samething over $16. minus 81 he spent
to so to Philadelphia last Saturday
with officers of the Water Depart
ment.
The subject was brought up by
President Beck, who said that on last
Saturday Mr. Stover had called him
on the phone and said he felt il a
courtesy to let him know as president
of the board that he was going after
Secretary Malcom and the fees he col
lected. He wanted President Beck
to appear before the finance commit
tee of Council. This Or. Beck re-
fused to do, and told the Councilman
to crack his whip"
When another member Of the f.
nance committee was spoken to about
the matter he said he knew nothing
about it.
Secretly Malcom said that some
time ago the Councilman called him
on the phone and asked what fees h,
collected. He was informed thai
money from fumigating houses and
the sale Of supplies went to the &C.
counts Of the departments. As fol
the fees as registrar Of vital statistics
Mr.. Malcom said he retained then,
as the registrar had done for the
past thirty years. This caused tbe
chairman of the finance committee e
reply that the fees should 90 to the
city and he cited the law stating that
salaried city officials could not re.
ceive fees from their office. In con.
clusion, Mr.. Slower said he would
visit the secretary, but he has moi
done so.
In speaking of the subject yesterday
il was shown that the position as
secretary of the Board of Health
pays but $1,000 a year. The fees
amount to about $500 annually. The
money is paid by the Levy Court anC
acts as an incentive to the secretar,
to secure returns from all physicians
and ministers. Of births, deaths ant
marriages. The fee for each certif
cate is cents.
At yesterdays meeting the mem
bers discussed the work Of the de
partment and it was brought out ths
the officials have never put in an ex
pense account for any trips taken il
behalf Of the department and whel
the members went with other depart
/, ment officers on trips they even pail
their own dinner expenses.
/. Under the law quoted by Council
! man Stoyer, il is contended that al
fees. even those collected by th
Mayor or President of City Council
should be turned over to the city.
