County Officers VIII Not Sep
arate Rich and Poor.
Physician Not Allowed To Di-
vide Patients Hours.

Right of a county physician to open
an uptown office with certain hours
for pay patients and certain hours for
pauper patients has been denied by
the Shawnee county commissioners.
according to announcement today by
a member OF that body Such a re-
quest had been received from Dr. ".
B. Steward present county physician,
it was stated.
The commissioners are quoted as
expressing themselves willing TO per-
nit the physician to open an uptown
office. But, when it came to announc-
ing specific hours for the poor man
and other hours for the man with
dollars jingling in his pocket the COM
nlissioners admit they put their foot
down on the proposition.
At the time of the appointment it
is stated, q contract was drawn Up be-
tween the city and county and. the
county physician in which it was
agreed that the county physician who
is also the city physician. should de-
vote his time to the county and city
patients. The contract was prepared
and turned over to the city authorities
for signing and it was supposed that
Doctor Steward had signed his name
to the contract so a member of the
board Of commissioners stated today
Now. we discover that the contra ct
was never signed by Doctor Steward.
said the commissioner.
At present a county and CITY ply
stefan receives approximately $209 a
month Physicians seem adverse to
accepting such a position without be-
ing permitted to treat private patients
and the county commissioners so far
have been willing to permit certain
amount Of outside practice.
Hold Down Practice.
However. as demands on the ply
sician's time in his ca pacity as county
physician increases. the ission-
ers feel that his entire energies should
be directed in attending the poor. For
that reason they are looking for a
joker, or something, in the present
law that will increase the county ply
sician's salary and make outside prac-
tice unnecessary
The commissioners announced this
morning that no effort would be made
to remove Doctor Steward from his
position to make a place for DR.. c. G
Lull. former county physician who
resigned in order to go to France. on
August I, however, Doctor Steward s
time will be at an end and then if
Doctor LulI wishes the position he
may have it.
Doctor Stewards work among the
poor during the influenza epidemic
was everything that a person could
wish for said one Of the county
commissioner today Yet. when
Doctor Lull went to war he was
granted leave of absence and we
intend to do everything in our power
to give the soldier boys an absolute
square deal"

Santa Fe Encouraged Over Will
sons Railway Attitude.
Plans Revived for 10-Story Of
flee Building in Topeka.
MANY LINES TO Be EXTENDED
Kansas and Oklahoma.
Officials Believe Future ReguIa-
ton VIII Be Changed.

Now that President Wilson has
definitely announced that the railroads
will soon go back to private control
the transportation systems of the
country are hooking forward to an era
OF great Improvement
Many plans made two and three
years ago have been held up during
the war for several reasons. The steel
shortage was the principal cause for
the lack of extensions. Some of the
minor extensions. however. have been
made under government control but
as a whole affairs in railroad circles
were rather at a standstiu while the
big JOB Of winning the war took up all
the time
The Santa F'e railway is rapidly out
growing its Ninth street office build
ing Two years ago plans were COM
pleted to tear down the old offices. or
remodel them and add several more
stories. Then came the war. Since
the presidents message was read to
congress on Tuesday. it is believed in
Topeka railroad circles that the i'm
provemeuts will be started in a few
months in every department Local
officials hope to have a sister build
ing TO the Jackson street ten-storN
structure constructed on Ninth street.
Extension of Lines.
y rev very I'M pOFtauC extensions are
under consideration in Oklahoma The
line proposed from Owen. Okla. thru
Pawhusk3.- to the main line at Fairfax.
may be a reality soon This line will
be 100 miles long and will connect the
two most important Santa F'e lines in
Okiahoma The great development
Of the Okla homa oil fields made this
extension necessary. but It could not
be built under government control
Another proposed extension on the
Santa Fe is from Woodward Okla
south This would reach a rich ter
rlt0ry in southern Oklahoma hitherto
untouched by'-rhat system.
May Build Kansas Line.
If the era of improvement is ex-
tended. the Santa F'e may build the
oft promised short line from EIkhart
Kan, southwest. connecting with the
main line in New Mexico This will
cut quite & chunk cut of the thru sys-
tenn to the Pacific coast.
It is Understood that the railroads
Will be largely regulated from Wash
ington instead OF by various sta te
boards and utilities commissions For
years the officers of the great trunk
line systems have held that they have
too many bosses. and that one commits
sion in the national capital could do
the work of forty-eight state boards.
Before releasing the roads from the
national leash Provisions may be made
for a central regulating Lody, it is
said with far more powers than those
formerly held by the interstate COM

RECLASS|F|CAT|ON PLAN
Mr.. Keating Tells Labor Men U. S.
Salary Rearrangement Will
Not Hurt Them.

Trade unionists need have no fear
that the recla ssication of salaries for
government empioyes, on which
Joint congressional commission is
now working. will be inimical to the
peculiar conditions of their trades and
skilled occupations.
This was made clear today at two
large assemblages representative of
the skilled labor in government serv-
ice. one in the government printing
office this morning and the other in
the bureau of engraving and printing
this afternoon.
Former Representative Edward
Heating Of Colorado emphasized this
in addressing, on invitation. the mem
bership of the central and subcom-
mittees representing the various
trades and units of skilled labor In
these government workshops
He laid stress on the fact that there
is a good reason behind every ques-

tionnaire must go to each OF the
10000 employees who come within
the jurisdiction of the commission
This means that a question Will not

the description of the work done by
printer will mean something DIFF
ferent to the commission than the

Evening star., 1919-05-13

Official announcement is made' by
the Navy Department that upon the
outcome of the proposed test flight
of the new Navy dirigible. CO. from
the naval air station, Montauk, n. T..
to st. Johns, Newfoundland, would
depend the future plans in regard
to the possibility of attempting later
a transatlantic fight by dirigible.'
The flight to Newfoundland. distance
of approximately 1000 miles. 1t was
said would be made whenever
weather conditions are favorable"
In making this announcement the
Navy Department disclosed much data
regarding the C-5 not heretofore
published. The new dirigible. which
was commits iSsioned only week ago.
is commanded by Commander h. w.
Coil. and the members of the crew
are Lieuts J. V. Lawrence and Nj. ID.
Easterly Ensign D. p Campbell and
Chief Machinist's Mates 7. l.. Moor
man and s. II. Blackburn.
The C-5 is twin-engine. non-rigld
airship with two 12o-horsepower en-
gines. The dirigible has an envelope
displacement of approximately 1iS.-
600 feet. and envelope length of 1872
feet and envelope diameter of nearly
42 feet. making her the largest of
the NaVy'S airShipS.
The normal speed of the C-5 is
placed in the Navy Departments an
nouncement at fifty miles an hour,
with an endurance at normal speed
of ten hours. However. in addition
to the useful load of 1000 pounds and
to the crew of six. it was learned
that provision can be made for a
greater gasoline carrying capacity,
thus increasing her cruising ability
greatly beyond the estimated 500
miles. At a speed of forty-two knots
the airship has fuel consumption of
ten gallons.
Officials at the Navy Department
appear to be entirely confident that
the C-5, which was designed during
the war for coast patrol work. has
ample endurance to cross TO Europe
without stop There is a general
belief at the Navy Department that
this transatlantic attempt will be
ordered Immediately after arrival of
the C-5 at ST. Johns and before the
