Garage 35 West Side Square ' STATE QUITS CENSUS BOARD of Turning Health Office Over to Outside Hands. Jefferson City, June 27.—Relations, diplomatic and otherwise, between the Missouri State Board of Health and the division of mortuary statistics of the Federal Census Department at Washington were severed: today by action of the state body, acting through its secretary and registrar of vital statistics, Dr. J. A. B, Adcock. In withdrawing from all relation with the Census Bureau Missouri followed the recent example of Ohio, Ken- tucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, Con- necticut, and ten or twelve other states which quit the Census Depart- ment for the same reason. Until this year it has been the cus- tom ofthe War Department to desig- nate the secretary of the State Board : Health to compile the death statis- ics. The latter official in turn appointed H. G. Cummings and family Sunday afternoon. MIAMI. Kills Wife, Then Cuts Throat. Garden City, Mo., June 26.—Just after he had finished shaving, Elzie W.

Harris the director of the census, issued a new order which without consulting either the State Mrs. Fannie ‘Brosius of Butler, Mo., was appointed to compile the statis- tics. Dr. Adcock said the entire matter hinged upon the right of the board to name the persons who had access - to its records. : “The state of Missouri gathers these statistics,’’ he said, ‘and they do not cost the government a penny, except the 3 cents per name for copy- ing. “Common coilither, it seems to me, would indicate that the. state board of health should have control over any one who desires to use these records as the state not only supplies the figures but furnishes an cffice and other things free. That is all there is.to the story.” - pr. Adcock said his predecessor Dr. Frank B. Hiller, was named by the census ‘department each of the four years that he was in office-to compile the list and each year select- ed a clerk to compile the list.
