State EpidemiOlOgist Leaves to
Enter Service Of Montana.
NiggardIy Salaries Paid by Kan
sas Costly to Health.
OTHERS MAY RESIGN SOON
Whiskered Arguments Cause
Wave of Dissatisfaction.
DIR. Sippy Has Made a Wonder
full Record in Kansas.

DIR. J. J. S.ppy. epidemiologist for
the state board of health and one of
the most widely known and efficient
state officials, is to resign. He has ac
cepted an offer to enter the service of
the Montana state board of health.
Niggardly salary schedules by the state
legislature caused Doctor Sippy to
leave the department which he organ
lied eight years ago and which has
been one of the most effective
branches of the Kansas board of
health.
A number of offers have come to
Doctor Sippy during the last several
months. AT least two Kansas towns
offered salaries in excess of the pay
check of the state. The Montana
board of health offered Doctor Sippy
$1,000 year in excess of the amount
approved by the Kansas legislature
after it had graciously increased his
salary $500 year. Doctor Sippy will
go to Helena May 1 to take over the
new work.
First of Many to Go.
Announcement of Doctor Sippy's
resignation today was the first public
statement as to a number of with
drawalS from state service which may
be expected in the next few months.
Under assurances by state boards and
department heads that the state legis-
lature would surely increase salaries
to meet present living conditions and
expenses, many men and women re-
manned il. the service of the state af-
ter receiving offers OF increased sal
aries in other states. But the legisla-
| ture followed the ancient custom and
advanced the whiskered argument
| that someone is always ready to take
| a state job" The first chance to find
someone" will go to- the state health
department when Doctor Sippy leaves
| the service
| Came from Belle PIaine.
| Doctor Sippy entered the service of
| the state in 1911. He came to Topeka
| from Belle Plaine, Sumner county, and
as result of eight years of tireless
service, has built up the work of the
| department of communicable diseases
until Kansas advanced her standing
| among other states of the country.
| Doctor Sippys work in organizing
| the public health nursing departments
| in various counties and cities has re-
| Gently attracted much attention. His
trecords and reports have been of such
| a character that they were accepted
by national organizations without dis
pute. The legislature managed to
save the state $1,000 a year because
someone" will take the job.

still there Sunday morning. and could
not be brought back until the ground
Park line near California avenue was
washed out. Service was resumed
Sunday.
Damage TO About $4,000.
1t is estimated that the damage to
the east side residents will not amount
to more than $4,000. This includes
the losses caused by flooded base
ments, torn up fences, washed out
yards and minor household losses
The current sweeping thru section
of the east side literally carried away
fences and small out buildings. In
most cases the Easements were drained
this morning. Residents worked all
day Sunday drying out household eff
fects, pumping out Easements and
taking away driftwood that had lodged
against their houses and fences.
At the crest of the flood a few FAM
lies in the center of the current
moved to the upstairs and many were
taken to other sections of the city but
the high water went down as fast as it
rose and there was no panic or loss of
| life.
Topekans, greeted Sunday morning
by the news that Hundreds Forced

separating. A raid was made on the
Downing street commissariat and,
finding 1t equal to the needs of the
large party, a jovial meal followed,
the premier's secretaries carrying the
joint and assisting in carving it while
jokes flew around the table.
The conference was then resumed,
and at it's conclusion, Secretary Thom-
as rose and. addressing the premier,
said he could not allow the momen-
tous meeting to close. without express
ing the appreciation of the delegates
at tine statesmanlike and impartial
way the premier and Mr.. Bonar Law
had conducted the negotiations and
their patient consideration.
Tho prime minister acknowledged
tho compliment in a genial speech,
that the delegates had met
all arguments in an open-minded and
concil;atory manner He expressed
tie hope that all labor organizations
would approach questions concerning
welfare in the same spirit; they
would then enter upon an new era
of industrial peace and prosperity.

London, Oct. 6.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)-With dramatic sud-
E8denness in the quiet of the London
Sunday afternoon it was announced

Ing street that the great railway
strike. which appeared to have

representatives Of the ~railwaymcn's
union, and Premier Lloyd George and
Andrew Bonar Law in the famous
conference room in Downing street.

settlement is the outcome of the mod
crate, but determined, efforts of the
executive of the transport workers
federation and men like Arthur Hen
derson and John r. Clynes, who
throughout have set their faces stead
lily against the idea of a sympathetic
strike until every possible avenue of

Mr.. Thomas paid a warm tribute to
the great and worthy part the pre-
mier had played in assisting them TO
reach what MIR. Thomas would not
claim as victory but as an honorable
settlement" 1t was the premier who
had invited the d%eputation to see him
yesterday and there had been no
qustion whatever of asking the men
10 surrender.
