STACKP0LE
IS DEAD
Not Anthrax, But
Heart Disease Finally
Ends Life

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-George +.
Stackpole. whose fight for life
against the dread anthrax has held
the attention OF the medical world
for the last week, died early today
IN Bellevue hospital--not from an
thrax. but from heart disease.
Physicians today said anthrax had
been completely cured by the serum
compounded by DR.. Adolph Eich-
horn, OF the federal bureau OF ami
NAL husbandry at Washington.
The long fight against the anthrax
bacilli. however, had weakened
Stackpole's system, and his heart
proved the most vulnerable organ.
Martin Brodsky. a laborer. who
has been under observation as a
possible anthrax victim, was re-
leased today, physicians being con-
fdent he was not suffering from
the disease.

"A business manager could also
keep complete tabulations and va

O'Hara declares his resolution

pointment OF new employe. He
thinks one OF the present ONCE stan
Of the board could assume the ad
ditionsl duties OF the new once.
Several OF the inspectors immedi.
ately voiced their disapproval OF
his plan. declaring that the secre-
tary of the board was now fulfilling
the duties for which o'Hara would
create the new ONCE.
The board voted down a propo-
sition to throw open the schools for
public meetings on the street car
problem. charging the organizations
holding the gatherings only the cost
OF janitor and engineer service. and
removing the fixed rental fee. The
question was brought up by Inspec-
tor Condor. who presented a letter
received from the Northwestern
Council Of Clubs. asking that II be
permitted 10 use the Northwestern
high school auditorium for a public
meeting. The club was willing to
psy the janitor's and engineers ex-
ira wage, but asked that the Sis
rental charge be eliminated. The
inspectors took the stand that they
would have TO treat all civic organ.

II will take at least two months
longer than specified to complete

NICHOLS SAYS HE
WILL DELAY SUIT
Won't Go Into Courts Till Su.
preme Court Passes on
Salary Case.

d. A. Nichols, clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas, yesterday announced
that he will wait the outcome of a SUI
preme Court decision before proceed
ing further with tentative friendly
mandamus suit to force the County
Court to allow him a salary Of $1,000
instead of the fees that he now is col
lecting on cases as his cmolument in
office.
The determination to wait was made
on receipt of d letter from Wilson
Cramer, Of Jackson, the attorney into
whose hands Nichols contemplated
placing the suit.
Nichols and many jurists in Cape
County assert that Nichols is entitled
to the $4,000 salary as clerk of the
Cape Girardeau Court of Common
Pleas the same as the clerks Of the
County Circuit courts.
This claim is based upon the provi-
siOns creating the court in the revised
statutes of Missouri and law enact
ed by the last General Assembly. An
assistant in Attorney General Barker
office has given an opinion in which he
declares that the salary feature does
not apply to Nichols position and
based on that, the County Court has

The constitutiOnality of the law Civ
ing the salary is being tried Nichols
yesterday declared his interest simply
was in getting his office placed on the
correct footing.
As a matter of fact, the fees in
Nichols office, he says, amount to
about as much as the salary would.
To date for this fiscal year, Nichols
said he already has collected more than
S1480 in fees for the office and all of
the fees for the November term of
court, which is the heaviest in the
year, are yet to be collected.
Under the present scheme, Nichols
is compelled to pay the salary of his
deputy clerk out of the fees that he
collects for the office.
Under the salary system, separate
salary is allowed by the Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas, not to exceed
$3.50 a month, for the deputy clerks.
It is proposed to make the salary Of
Nichols deputy $50 month.

0. A. KNEHANS Gets
Home SERIOUSLY ILL
City Counselor is Threatened
With Pneumonia After
Exposure to Cold

City Counselor Oscar A. Knehans
yesterday was i'll in bed at his home,
threatened with pneumonia, following
his return early yesterday morning
from a weeks trip toe Oklahoma.
Physicians in charge of his case said
his condition was serious and advised
absolute rest and quiet. Knehans yes
tcrday dictated several letters at his
home in spite of the fact that he had
been put to bed.
knehans went to Oklahoma City
about ten days ago to attend to legal
business for the Central Wesleyan Col
lege for which he is attorney and a
member of the Board of Regents. Be-
fore he departed from the Cape he ac-
qu;red a severe cold and was not in
the best of health on his departure.
While he was in Oklahoma, it was
necessary to look over some lands that
the college has an interest in, so that
he was forced to go on two days riding
i'm an automobile. 1t is believed that
the exposure in the automobile ride
aggravated the cold that he already
had contracted and has resulted in a
threat of pneumonia.
Mr.. Knehans, on his return to the
Cape, attempted to catch up work con-
nccted with his position as U. S. Ref
cree in Bankruptcy as well as City
Counselor.
