"SECRETARIES OUT
'AFTER WILD'S SCALP
Subordinates of State Health Board
Object Because Wild Obeys
the Real Board.
HEARING BEFORE GOVERNOR
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 9.-(Speclal Telegram.)
If the board of secretaries of the State
Hoard of Health have their way the
rcalp of Dr. Wild, j.state bacterologhit,
will be dangling from their belts and
1 people will not be allowed to bathe In
'the Missouri river nor ride on trains
without a certificate showing that they
have not the smallpox.
Putting those things Into effect may,
however, be not so easy as preparing
the resolutions calling for the state
board to do these things, as the meeting
held in the office of Governor Morehead
this afternoon Indicates that the secre
taries may have some trouble enforcing
Fame of their rules and a areat deal more
trouble getting the scalp of the state
bacterologlst.
That Increase In. "alary
Charges were made by the secretaries
that Dr. Wild was incorrigible, that he
would not do as they wanted him to do
and that he talked back in harsh tones,
etc They first charged that he was
drawing an increase In salary from $2,000
a year to $2,400 without authority for so
doing because the secretaries had not
recommended the raise. However, the
board remembered that they had raised
the doctor's salary and did not seem to
think that the secretaries had very
much to say about It any way.
The charge made by the secretaries
that the doctor considered himself under
the orders of the taard Instead of under
the orders of the secretaries, did not get
very far as Dr. Wild said that he pro-
posed to obey the orders of the board
f which hired him and not the secretaries
who only recommend him, and while the
board, which consists of Governor More-
head, State Superintendent Thomas and
Attorney General Reed took no action it
was evident that they agreed with the
doctor that he was under their jurisdic
tion. Why Secretaries Object.
The aacretarles admitted that Dr. Wild
was well qualified for the position In
rv wh.v ann inni nn vu AminAnriv
good bacteriologist, but they objected to
his refusal to be governed by their
orders.
Dr. Wild said that he had become
tired of waiting for the secretaries - to
move and went ahead and did thing
because the people wanted results and
the secretaries were not giving them
" results'. He had been unable to make
reports to the board since his assistant
was taken away from him because ha
could not find time to fix them up as
he spent many hours both night and
day trying to kep his work up.
Governor Morehead testified to the fact
that Dr. Wild was the hardest worked
man In the state house and that he knew
lie worked late nights trying to keep up
tils work.
The board of secretaries consist - of
Dr. Burchard of Tails City, Dr. E. ' A.
Carr of Lincoln, Dr. Cummlngs of Seward
tnd Dr. Stark of Hartington.-
FIRE ADDS TO MYSTERY
Straw Stack Near Farmer Nelson's
Bam at Aurora Set Ablaze by
Incendiary.
LUFF CLEARED IN THIS CASE
AVRORA. Neb.. Nov. . (Special Tele
gram.) The mystery In the Nelson-Luff
assault case became deeper yesterday In
the discovery of a fire at Nelson's place.
An old shed and straw stack close to his
bam burned, and the tmrn was saved
through the efforts of Nelson and his
neighbors.
County Attorney Whitney and others
claim to have found tracks of an auto
moolle which they followed clear to the
Chapman bridge. They believe that the
fire was started by someone who came In
the automobile and escaped across the
river. They also claim to have found a
placard pinned to a wagon In Nelson's
yard which bore this legend: "This Is a
second and last warning."
The words were printed. The authori
ties declare they have accounted for Luff,
and no suspicion attaches to him as to
the fire.

place Wednesday before County Judge
Jeffers. An amended complaint was filed
today charging him In two counts with
