May Not Be Forthcoming,
So Mayor r. o. Johnson
Will Name Successors in
Near Future.

Mayor r. o. johnson who yesterday
requested Park President W. r. Gleason
and Safety President X Nj. Burr 10 re
sign has not received the designations
forwith, so after a bit of waiting it is
probable that a direct order firing the
two steel executives or else the naming
of their successors will be announced
from city hall.
Gleason May Not Quit.
Mr.. Gleason. said TO have been po-
nticaIly betrayed by his supposed
friends and stabbed by a rival steel
faction. expected to be dropped. but it is
understood he Will not resign. Friends
of the steel superintendent are sore. not
at the mayor who could do nothing but
act after AIR Gleasons reputed organ
had dared him to drop him, but at the
treachery and diplomacy" of another
faction of steel officials.
As for Major Burr he has not mixed
in politics and the thing all comes as a
matter of course to him.
Clever Intrigue.
It was said today that Mr.. Gleason
blamed his false political friends for
coming between him and the mayor and
that he stated the mayor was justified
following the newspaper attacks made
on his honor. From what can be learn
ed the superintendent primarily blames
the Gary Tribune for his oustlng and
he is said to have his war club ready
for the steel faction that is supposed TO
have made the inducements. whatever
they were. to lire up the Tribune in the
clever and successful scheme to politi-
cauy discredit the steel superintendent.
whose silent but growing political pow
er is said to have aroused jealousy in
certain quarters in Gary and in Chi
cago Methods employed to discredit
DR.. smith are said to be on tap to
further swat Supt. Gleason. Both men
are not the kind to stay swatted

day announced plan to recruit their
ranks in this country to meet the ur-
gent need OF them In homes
A scholarship and fund has been
established through the Red Cross bu-
reau Of town and county nursing Any
graduate nurse who wishes to study for
public health nursing work need only
apply to the lied Cross.
The childrens bureau of the depart
ment of labor has pointed out that un-
less ,he supply of public health nurses
IS kept up during the war the health of
the country's children will be menaced.
1t recommended that public health
nursing lie officially recognized as war
service
That IS virtually what the Red Cross
has done
The public health nursing course for
graduate nurses is one year. Several
of the larger city chapters have volun-
teered to pay the expenses of graduate
nurses who wish to take the one-year
course.
The special training required for this
work includes not only bedside nurs-
ing at farm homes removed from the
cities, but work in hygiene in connec-
ton with country schools. Special at
tention is given also to the general vel

Food Administrator T. A. Riordan nas received reports of the death. ap- parently by malicious poisoning. of several thousand sheep. which have been grazing in Navajo county, The first deaths occurred a week ago in he Mud tank driveway, east of Wins low, when Chet Houck, lost 45O head and Spanish owner 90. Since then l,5OO additional fatalities have been made known from the same cause. Edward Sawyer. prominent northern Arizona sheep owner, states that the i.omachs of the stricken animals show the lining eaten away. as from the ae- ion of a powerful mineral poison. There never have been poison weeds n that locality. Several of the stom- achs have been sent co Phoenix for lnalysis and others to the agricultural department at Washington.

The antelope of the southwest, after having been killed of to the verge oI extermination in their native haunts on the open plains, show signs ot adopting timbered country as perma- nent range. Several punches on the Coconino plateau in Arizona have for saken the parks for the timber. while recently a small herd was seen on the rough breaks of the Blue River, ten miles from any open country.
