HAYS INAUGURAL
MAY BE DELAYED
ELECTION BOARDS SLOW
CHANGE OF EXECUTIVES DE-
PENDS ON RECEIPT OF OF
FICIAL VOTE.

Little Rock, July 26.-In reply to a
number of queries received at Little
Rock, asking when Governor-elect
George w. Hays will take charge of
the executive office, it can be stated
that everything depends upon the
promptness of the various county cleo
ton boards. Under the constitution
the governor elect cannot assume his
duties until after the state election
board canvasses the vote and declares
boards
If the past conduct of several cleo
ton boards can be taken as criterion
it may be some time before Governor
elect Hays transfers his headquarters
to the governors office.
The delay of county election COM
missioners in officially reporting the
returns to the secretary of state has
caused much inconvenience and an
noyance in the past, and several times
the secretary of state has been COM
PEELED to send special messengers
the result. OF course, the state cleo
ton board cannot act until the Official
returns are received by the secretary
of state from the county election
after the returns.
If the commissioners performed
their duty as required by law the COM
plete returns would be in the secre-
tary Of states office before the close
Of the present week He could then
certify the result to the state election
board, which is composed Of the gov
ernor, the attorney general and the
secretary of state

NO INTERFERENCE FROM
STATE HEALTH BOARD
FRIEDMAN SPECIALISTS BE-
GIN TREATING PATIENTS AT
LITTLE ROCK.

Little Rock, July 28.-Without in
reference from the State Board of
Health, as had been anticipated, or at
the hands of the State Medical So
ciety, representatives of the Fried
mann cure for consumption, or the al
legged cure, began treating patients in
Little Rock today. DR.. ]. j. Meyer of
New York is at the head of the local
institute, and it is stated no one will
be turned away. Charges will be
made for those who are able to pay
and others will be treated free.
The Friedman cure differs from
most forms of vaccination, for live
germs are introduced into the body,
where dead germs are used in other
treatments. The germs will be raised
in Little Rock, and every physician in
the state will watch with great inter
est the progress of the patients who
are treated. A number of patients
who were treated in New York will
continue their treatment in Little
Rock, having returned to this section
Of the country after DR.. Friedman

more about il than he had read in the
newspapers. lie said he had received no
