Head of Infectious Diseases
Bureau Has Good Chance
To Be Commissioner.
POST IMPORTANT,
Mitchell THINKS
MayOr-Elect Having Difficulty in
Finding Right Man for
Police Head.

Second TO the Police Commissionership
Mayor elect Mitchell regards the Office Of
Commissioner of Health as of the great
est Importance. The appointment is &c
be entirely personal, and will go to the
man who he believes will make the best
record and will be most jealous In reor-
ganizing the department along modern
and efficient lines.
Ii was asserted yesterday that DIR.
John 5. Billings, for several years head
of the bureau Of infectious diseases In
the Health Department; had an excellent
chance of getting the Commissionershlp.
Dr. Billings is widely known for the work
he has done. He is n friend of President
Wilson. He was in Washington several
weeks ago. and his friends believe the
President may say a good word TO Mr..
Mitchell in his behalf.
The thing that is causing Mr.. Mitchell
the greatest anxiety is the finding of a
man for Police Commissioner. IL was
said yesterday not single person had
applied for the post, and that no one had
even gone so far as 10 recommend any
one TO Mr.. Mitchell. The names he has
under consideration came 10 him, 1t Is
understood, only after the hardest sort
of searching.
Nh. Mitchell considers the Police Com
missionership a personal appointment. but
II is understood he does not intend TO
make any selection until he has consulted
with the various leaders Of the fusion
movement. He wants their approval or
the choice he makes. There will be con-
ference on the subject next week. Among
those who will attend, 1t is said. will be
District Attorney whitman. Through his
prosecution OF the police cases he has a
knowledge of the workings OF the depart
ment such as few men In the city possess.
What he has to say about the quallfica-
lions of a Commissioner is likely to have
considerable weight with Mr. Mitchell.
There was much speculation yesterday
as to just what place would go TO Robert
Adamson, whom Mr.. Mitchell said at the
Adamson dinner he hoped to have in his
cabinet for four years. II is not believed
that any job except that of City Cham
berlain would tempt Mr. Adamson. That
pays $4,000 a year. but a man is prac-
tically lost in it, He does not figure in
the public eye at all. Mr.. Adamson would
have a better chance TO continue his public
career by remaining as secretary 10 the
Mayor. II he would consent to stay the
salary would undoubtedly be raised TO ST.
500 a year.
Mr.. Mitchell has accepted an invitation
to attend President Wilson's dinner for
the members of his Cabinet in Washington
tomorrow night. Mrs. Mitchell will go
with him. That night they will be the
guests Of Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, and
will return on Friday or Saturday.
Mr. Mitchell will speak on Saturday night
at the dinner Of the Celtic-American
League at the Yorkville Casino. No. PIG

GLYNN REPLIES
TO EMPLOYERS

sign the workmen's compensation bill to-
morrow.

by fifteen years Of agitation, stood solid

cumstances I was elevated TO the gov
ernorship I entered the executive office

and whatever might be the effect upon
my personal fortunes. I would bend every
effort toward securing Just. impartial
and scientific workmens compensation

III, as I believe, the worlInen's com
pensation act will mark the beginning OF
an era Of good feeling between the work
err and his employer all the struggles
and disappointments Of fifteen years will
be made we'll worth while"
Replying to employers who still insist
the scale of payment for injuries is too
hight being two-thirds of an employees
regular weekly pay-the Governor said ;
expense of living since compensation acts
were pissed in other states 1t was deemed
20 be fair TO provide higher scale of pay
ment for injuries in this state than Is
provided for instance, in the outgrown
schedules Of New Jersey and New Hamp-
shire, where the amount payable is so
per cent OF the wages. but where the
maximum payment for permanent In
juries does not exceed SO a week, even
II the injured men were regularly earn
ing as high as $40.
I'm our law the payment in such cases
is SIS % per cent of the injured employees
weekly wages. The percentage paid In
Ohio is SIS 2-3; in California, 65; in Wis
cousin. Co. and in Texas. so.
1.-THE maximum weekly payment for
compensation for total permanent in
iurles is sl2 in Ohio and in Kansas. Texas
and this state So. except that in case of
the loss Of a hand, an arm, foot, leg
or an eye the maximum cannot In any
case exceed $40 a week, and in many
instances may be much less than that, de-
bending on the amount Of the employees
wages. Where the injury is only partial
the payment is Sc % per cent, not OF the
average wages but of the loss Of wages"
George w. Perkins, of New York, wrote
the Governor to-day as follows:
Some are born progressive, some
achieve progressiveness and others have
progressiveness thrust upon them. AS a
thruster you certainly are bowling sue
