Decline To Repay Fees.

The Board Of Public Works was advised
last week by Attorney-Ge Richie that
the former Secretaries of State had de-
clined to pay to the State the fees which
they received and retained, in addition TO
the salary, and had denied that they are
obligated either legally or morally to do So
In the absence Of Treasurer Dennis. the
other members Of the board, Governor Har-
rington and Comptroller McMullen. decided
TO defer action until his return on the ques-
ton whether suit shall be instituted against
them.
Ii was stated that the records available
show that Robert P. Graham and N. Wins
low Williams. who served under the Colds
borough and Crothers administrations, re-
spectively, each received approximately
$l2. 900 in fees. etc. in their terms. The
amount received by Oswald Tilghman. who
served in the Warfield administration. has
not been ascertained. Col Tilehman ad-
vised Mr.. Richie that he had no record of
the amount, and. owing to the illness of
Carl Hardy. chief clerk in the executive
Offices, it has been impossible to ascertain
the amount there.
Wilfred Bateman. who served under the
Smith administration. is dead. Vim. 7.
Brantly and Richard Dallam, who held the
Office under Gov. Lowndes, advised Mr..
Richie that they received no fees. 1t is
understood that the incumbent. Thomas
W. Simmons. received $500 in fees dur.
ing the past year. Mr.. Simmons has stated
that In the future he will abide by Mr..
Ritchie's opinion that he is not entitled to
the fees. unless the courts hold otherwise.

TOmahawk Man Placed in Trying Sit.
uatiOn-GOes to Pay for Dinner
and Finds Purse Gone.

H. J. Taylor, of Tomahawk, spent
several hours in the city yesterday,
enroute to Wausau. He attended to
some business matters at the office
of ]. & M. Van Hecke and while there
took out lissg purse for some purpose
or another. Immediately thereafter
he departed for Wausau, and it was
when he reached in his pocket to pay
for his dinner at the Hotel Bells that
he discoXered the loss of his pocket
book. He went to his car, thinking
he had lost same there and when he
was unable to locate it, he telephoned
to the Van Hecke law firm in this
city, inquiring in regard to it. After
the local attorneys had kept Mr.. Tay-
lor on the anxious seat for a short
time, he was informed that his purse
and $250.00 were in their possession
and same would be forwarded imme-
diately. 1t was rather trying situa-
tion for the gentleman to be stranded
far from home with no money and
with doubts as to where to find same
