WORK IN HARMONY
McGiffert Explains Health
Boards Attitude Girl Scandal.
Declares Board of Education
Victim Misleading Reports.

In an effort to reach better I'M
Outstanding between the board of
health and the board of education re-
garding examination of students of the
public schools of Topeka, and to dis
pei the misunderstanding that has
caused the two boards to work at
cross purposes. Commissioner Robert
d. McGiffert today sent the following
letter to L NJ. Penwell. president of
the board of education:
The board of health is very much sur
prised and sorry to hear that there is a
misunderstanding between their body and
the school hoard and knows that the facts
have been misrepresented to them.
In the first place the health officer and
his assistants, under his orders. have the
right and power, not only by city ordi-
nance, but also by state laws to inspect,
examine and isolate all persons infected or
suspected of being infected with venereal
disease or any other disease, and 1t is I'M
lawful for any person to obstruct him in
the performance of his duties. However,
this department does not want to an
tagOnize the board of education but wishes
to cooperate with them.
Withheld Girls Names.
Not only because the city ordinance com
pells us to withhold any names and treat
all patients confidentially, but as an in
ducement to volunteer patients to come to
the clinic, names have. or ever will be
published from this department. and the
three girls names that have appeared have
come thru court procedure when the girls
volunteered to testify against the men that
wronged them.
There has not and will not be any ex-
aminations or inquisitions in the school
buildings has been claimed. These have
been done at the city clinic.
Mr.. Frank G. Dreaming has admitted that
the case cited by him Of a girls father
going insane was another case entirely. and
has nothing whatsoever to do with the in
vestlgations conducted by the board of
health
Mislead as to Nurse.
The statement of the nurse that was re-
ferred to was little misleading. She has
contended that in comparison with other
cities Topeka's condition was very favor
able. but that she has been surprised at
the number of cases that have come to
her attention of girls that are of very
tender age.
The conditions are no worse at present
than they have been. and this point has
been emphasized by statements from this
office, but the government brought to light
the true conditions and have proved that
something must be done.
i DIR. Brown, Mrs. Beckner, or myself Or
all three perfectly willing to appear
before your body at any time and present
the true facts as they exist and to CO.
operate with your body in remedying the
conditions.
Respectfully.

6-CENT FARE TOK. c., K.
Company Asked p. U. C. To Approve
an Scent Application.

The public utilities commission to-
day granted a six cent street car fare
for Kansas City, Kan, and recon-
mended the adoption of a seven cent
fare for interstate passengers. The
order was made following the applica-
ton of the Kansas side company for
a rate advance.
Under it's order today the commits
sion grants practically no direct bene-
fit to the railway company. The six
cent fare is now in operation and
seven cents has been collected on the
Missouri side. Recently the Missouri
commission ordered an eight cent fare
for Kansas City, Mo.
In its decision today the Kansas
commission urges that a seven cent
rate be charged passengers using the
street railway service between the two
states. But strictly interstate passen-
gers in Kansas will be required to pay
but six cents. The company asked
approval of an eight cent rate appli-
cation.
