of those who cannot see it on work

Time and money was not spared in
it the most pretentious pre-

months to the mammoth production
For the first time in years, the city be-
came interested in it's own history, and
a movement was started to introduce a
study of historic st. Louis in the
schools.

LAWSON WHACKS
BOARD Of HEALTH
Hasn't Any Right to Exceed
Hospital Appropriations,
He Declares

Corporation Counsel Richard /.
Lawson whacked the Board OF Health
Tuesday morning. for exceeding ap.
propriations allowed by the common
council and the estimates for hos
pital improvements. lawson told the
members OF the council committee on
ways and means that the board had
no legal right 10 exceed appropria-
tions. The board is asking the coun-
ell for transfer of funds TO take
care OF deficit OF $14.l00 in its hos
pital building fund.
Pavilion No. 3, according TO com.
munication from the board TO the
council was changed from building
for hospital purposes 10 nurses
home, the outlay far exceeding the
appropriation made. Pavilion No. !
was enlarged To take care OF the
growing number OF diphtheria pa
tients, the report read, the cost in.
creasing from $42,700, the amount al.
lowed, to 5000
THE board acted illegally when II
exceeded the appropriations on those
buildings and the members must
have known it," said the corporation
counsel "Of course, now that the
work is completed, l suppose the city
will be honor bound to pay the bills
but | suggest TO you gentlemen that
some sort OF a check be placed on
the Board OF Health. Other commits
sions and departments do not dare
to do such things"
/ The committee took the matter
under advisement. The members in
dicated that the transfer OF funds
would be taken care OF In this in
stance, but the board will be warned
against the continuance of the prac-
tice.
There is seldom meeting when
the Board of Health does not come
to us for a transfer OF funds" said
Aid. John c. Lodge. "Of course
realize that the nature of the board S
work makes II necessary to do this
at times, but | think that the board
is abusing a privilege"

day before. that he had never been

without any extended cross-examina-
ton.
Mrs. Theodore Harper. mother OF
the defendant, testified that she had
received letters telling OF her daugh-
ter's alleged misconduct with Lease.
IL developed. also, that Mrs. Nc
Cready herself. had received letters
similar TO those received by other
fpsilantians, when District Attorney
Webster asked the defense II IL cared
TO introduce them, inasmuch as they
could not be used as direct evidence.
Attorney Watson, for the defense,
made no objection TO their introduc-
ton. 1t Is the theory OF the govern
ment that Mrs. McCready wrote the
letters to herself and To her mother
TO divert suspicion from her.
Mrs. Robert Killian, mother OF
Lewis Killian, whose wife was
charged, in the anonymous letters,
with immoral conduct, said that she
had turned the letters over to James
Clark.
Didn't Clark say. when you turned
the letters over to him, that he

tained?" asked Attorney Watson.
