urges RELIEF FOR
SICK SERVICE MEN
Mcleod Scores "Red Tape"
He Says Hampers Their
Care.

Legislation looking toward imme-
dlate relief for sick service men is
one of the most urgent considerations
now before the country, Represent
ative Clarence J. Mcleod of Mich
igan told members of the Michigan
state Society at "A meeting last mig hit
at the Wilson Normal School
representative Mcleod said it was
ms most earnest wish that he had
dedicated his services to securing re-
lief for the sick or wounded service
men: He said there are inadequate
facilities for handling the sick in
many government hospitals and
leveled criticism at the hospital heads,
who. he said. cannot get a man trans
ferred to climate to suit his condi-
ton without going through yards of
red tape"
He gave an example of three tuber-
cular patients at Providence Hospital
IN Washington, who came to him ten
days ago asking for transfer to a
hospital in the west. They told him.
he said. that the climate of Washing
ton was bad for their disease. Yes
terday, Representative Mcleod said.
two of the men came back the other
having been unable to rise from his
bed. One of the men had lost thir-
teen pounds in weight since their first
visit. he said.
Inns is the sort OF thlng we are
aiming to correct" Representative
Mcleod said. "and intend to devote
my every effort to see that it is cor
rected"

anecdotes of Lincoln's human quail
ties. Thomas A. Wall. president of

DISALLOWS HACK HIRE.
Acting Controller Says Official
Could Walk Two Blocks.

Men travelling in the government
service should not object to walking
two blocks to a street car line and
carrying "A suit case, in the opinion of
c. NJ Force. acting controller of the
Treasury. who has disallowed two
claims of 80 cents each and a third
for rs cents submitted by a deputy
Tuited States marshal of Texas for
hack hire. The hacks in question
were hired in Houston and Corpus
Christi. Tex
The opinion of the controller states
that it appears suit case was the
only baggage of the deputy and adds:
From the evidence submitted it is
shown that the street cars which pass
the hotel run within two blocks of
the railroad station. This is not con-
s,lered an unreasonable distance to
walk; at least not so unreasonable as
to warrant reimbursement from gov
ernment funds of the cost of auto hire
engaged by employees in preference to
walking this distance"
