d. NJ. Oberman, prison labor con-
tractor and competitor of the state in
the manufacture of overalls, has had
his contract abrogatcd by the board of
prison inspectors.
Lester S. Parker, who was appoint
ed superintendent of the prison in
dustries, at salary of $4,000 a year,
will have full charge of the state fac
tories in future.
Under Obcrman's arrangement with
the state he sold the raw materials
to the state, paid the state rs cents
a day for each man the state employ
ed in its own factory, and agreed to
bear the overhead expense and the
expense of wear on the machinery.
In his own factory, under his pri-
vate contract, he pays Is cents a day
for the convicts and of course pays
the overhead expenses and wear costs
and buys his own raw materials. The
principal difference is that in his con-
tract with the state factory, the state
furnished the capital, while in his own
factory, he was required to furnish his
own money to carry own the business.

Recent Outbreak Of Dlphtherla In st.

Board to Pass ResoIu-
tlons of Protest.
Jefferson City

JEFFERSON City.
A stand has been takon by the Mis-
souri, State Board of Health against
trained nurses being sent to diagnose
diseases, especially diphtheria.
The board in resolution took the
position that nurses are not compe-
tent to pass judgment upon such Sc
rious cases.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, it has been brought to
the attention of the state board of
health, from the recent newspaper re-
port of an outbreak of diphtheria in
st. Louis county, that trained nurses
were sent out to pass judgment upon
such cases of diphtheria, be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of
the board such procedure is funda-
mentally wrong inasmuch as trained
nurses are not competent to pass up
on such cases, and that the employ
ment of nurses in such circumstances
is calculated to give the nurses wrong
impressions Of the duties they are le-
gally allowed to perform, and is a men,
ace to the public health, nurses not
being trained to make diagnoses"
The session of the board was behind
closed doors, and the resolution was
not made public until given out by
DR.. ]. B. Adcock, secretary Of the
board.
