the State Board OF Health?' CThe
visits referred to were to make ex-
aminatlons in connection with the in
fantile paralysis scare).
Both" replied the witness.
"You went in a two-fOld capacity
them asked Mr.. Harman.
Yes answered DR.. Steele.
The witness said he considered il
his duty to go as a member Of the
State Board of Health. but he had the
right to charge as private physician
as he had gasoline and the up-keep
of his car to pay for.
After MIR. Harman was through
with the witness. Mr.. Connolly,
member of the committee. referring
to the examination that Dr. Steele
made Of goods in a car in the case
Of Mr.. Middleton, who was leaving
Dover asked, "had the goods been
infected could you have told it,"
no" replied the witness, which
reply caused general laughter among
the many spectators in the room.
Opposed TO Fee System.
Dr. Cecil de j. Harbordt said gem
orally what he knew about the Dover
connection OF the State Board was
hearsay. but that it was his opinion
the board could be run on a more eco
nomic basis. lie said most of the ply
scians were opposed to the fee sys-
TEN and that il would be better TO
place the board on a straight salary
The witness said he had heard a great
deal of criticism against Dr. steele,
the local registrar
DR.. Frantz Explains.
DR. Frantz was then called to the
stand Referring to the Lewes Incl
dent, he declared that DR.. Orr was
paid by the State Board for watching
the navigation entrance at that town,
I but did not receive compensation Sor
issuing certificates. In reply to Mr..
lBoyce. he declared that there are now
between $4,000 and $4,000 names in
his Office. and that he would receive
about $500 for indeXing them if the
bill providing a 5-cent fee for each
name indexed was passed. He de-
clared that the indeXing was a big job
and one that he did not seek.
Replying TO Senator Hickman. he de-
clared that he had never at any time
entered into an agreement with the Soc
rotary Of the Board of Health of Will
mington whereby he was TO pay that
official a rebate for supplying names
and that he had never~to his knowledge
paid that officer any money. lie stated
! that he had q private practice in addi-
tion TO his State Office, but denied that
] it interfered with his duties as secretary
Evening journal., 1917-03-13

DR.. Orr insisted on payment of the bill
for $3.50, and was paid. He said during
the infantile paralysis scare last year
members of the State Board infringed
on the rights of the local board. Both
Or. Ritchie and DIR. Frantz cross -ques-
toned DIR. Burton, but without bringing
out any new testimony.
Infringe on Local Boards.
Herman C.. Taylor, secretary and ex-
ecutive officer of the Board of Health
Of Dover, was the next witness called,
and his testimony was somewhat simi-
lar to that of DIR. Burton. He charged
that DIR. Steele, who resides in Dover,
had infringcd upon the rights of the
local Board of Health during the recent
infantilc paralysis epidemic.
DR.. Steele made vigorous objection,
but Chairman Wharton ruled that he
was out of order and Mr.. Taylor was
permitted TO continue his testimony. lie
testified that DIR. Steele had issued
medical certificates for children to leave
the State and certificates for goods to
he removed out of the town. and had
charged exorbitant fees for them. Mr..
Taylor named number of cases in
which it was alleged that DR.. Steele had
issued certificates and had charged s.
for each child examined. and s. for the
examination of household goods. lie
said that the local board issued the cer-
! tiicatos free, and that numerous CON-
plants had been receited relative to the
charges made by DIR. Steele.
DIR. Steele followed Mr. Taylor on
the stand and stated that he wished
to deny everything that Mr. Taylor
/ had said with the exception of one
! case-that OF a MIR. Middleton whose
! goods he examined when the latter
desired to leave town. He said he
inspected some goods in Mr.. Middle
tons house and went to the freight
station and inspected others that had
been sent there for shipment He
! told of a number of cases that he was
called out in the country on where
he charged fees of 50, and said I'm
I such cases he charged as a physician
and did not use the shield OF the
| State Board OF Health. He said he
4 charged so cents TO examine each
child in town and issue the certi-
ficate
Saws It's Personal Matter.
The witness said IL was all a per-
sonal matter between himself and Mr..
Taylor, that they had not spoken for
five years and did not care to speak.
Mr. Harman, in Cross-examining
the witness relative to the visits in
the country that he spoke Of. asked :
did you consider that YOU made
those visits in the capacity of a

twas called to the stand and although
a member OF the State Board, seemed
to know very little about the way the
business Of the board was conducted.
The resolution under which the inves-
tigation is being made was read to
the witness and he was asked what
he had to say about 1t. He replied
that he was not in a position to say
anything about it.
Recommended Office In Dover.
Mr.. Harman asked the witness If
Governor Miller did not recommend
that the office of the board be re-
moved to Dover.
He replied that was true but did
not know why it was not done. He
said the excuse was that it was not
suitable.
Mr.. Harman next questioned Dr.
Steele relative to bills that were intro
duced in the Legislature two years
ago for increased appropriations for
the State Board. The witness did not
know whether he or anyone else had
cautioned AGAINST asking for increas-
ed appropriations on the ground that
they we're not needed.
did anyone of the board say he
would go down with the ship" Queried
Mr.. Harman. DR. Steele evaded the
question and said he only knew that
money is appropriated TO the State
Board to be spent and thought it was
rightly spent
: Senator Hickman, when Mr.. Harman
was through with the witness. asked
I him II he did not demonstrate with
Dr. Frantz about introducing so many
bills and that DR.. Frantz replied that
he would go down with the ship.
Would Go Down With Ship.
yes, words to that effect" replied
DR.. Steele.
Mr., Connolly, another member OF
the committee, asked Dr. Steele if he
did not say two years ago that ne
thought an investigation such as is
now being conducted would help con
dltions. The witness could not re
member making such a statement but
said he fought the bill two years ago
DIR. Hiram r.. Burton. former congress
man and president of tho Board q
Health Of liewcs, was the next witness
DIR. Burton said he knew nothing what
ever about the financial matters of tn
board, but did know that some of tn
members had charged exorbitant price.
lie said that in 1909, during the epidcmi
of scarlet fever in Rehoboth, Dr. Orr
