A. Halgren, William Lumsden and B. J. Steves, and a patient at the City hospital for ten weeks last spring and summer, Manley Fossen, came forward today, with statements of their knowledge of the efficiency of Miss Del.a Listul, former superintendent of the city hospital discharged without warning last and with declarations that an injustice had been done her. The statements have been' unsolicited by The Leader.
Efforts at explaining the stand of the city council in the matter was made yesterday in statement from the mayor, Carl E. Peterson, which touched upon the matter in general with specific reference made only A deficit 'n the hospital funds $800 this year and tor intimation of a lack of harmony in the working force. The mayor's statement in full as given to The Dunn County News follows: "The action of the council in discharging Miss Listul as superintendent of the City hospital was prompted only from the standpoint of the best interests of the stated Mayor Peterson Wednesday. "We have always tried to keep in mind that the citizens of Menomonie are keenly interested in the proper maintenance of their hospital and it is to this end that a change was decided only. "The City hospital belongs to the people of Menomonie and they can rightfully expect that It shall be managed economically.
The hospital should be at least selfsustaining. Last year brought a deficit of about $800. "The people of our city also have a right to expect that their hospital shall be run efficiently, that there shall be perfect harmony among those who are employed there. It is only with the day's work running smoothly that this desired efficiency can be obtained. "There 18 nothing personal in our action, I can assure the people of Meiemonie.
It is only the welfare one of the city's most needed institutiong that we are considering in this case. If we were to let personalities enter into our consideration the decision might have been different. But considering only the city's best interests there was but one course to follow. We followed that course. "There may be those would not agree with our judgment.
They have a right to their opinions, but the council has no right in this matter, or any other case affecting the city to act in any way other than to protect the interests of Its citizens. Existing conditions, contrary to the city's best interests, demanded action and the council took that action." Fossen Makes Statement. Manley Fossen and Oscar Setter were severely burned in an accident on the transmisston line of the Northern States Power company last April. They were rushed farther the hospital Menomonie and placed clinic. in For the practically two months and a half they made their home at the hospital, and, during much of that time, Mr.
Fossen says, were able to be around to observe what was going on in the 'nstitution. Mr. (Foggen's statement follows: "To whom it may concern: "During my stay of ten weeks and two days in the City hospital at Menomonie between April 24 and July 5, 1925, I observed noth-1 ling that would lead me to think that Miss Della Listul, then supMerintendent, was inefficient or incompetent. From the viewpoint of patient in the hospital, her administration left nothing wanting in service, care, attention, general orderliness, or the human sympathy which means so much to one in the stress of pain. "Miss Listul appeared unusually conscientious in her administration.
She even refused to me or my companion, Oscar Setter, to smoke until she had received permission to do so from the city council. If she 1s so observant of such rules, it seems doubtful that she would be so lax the Ing out of other matters in such manner as to come within the term of inefficiency. I feel that a grave injustice has been done Miss Listul, and, in consideration, for what she has desire to help her in her cause." Signed: MANLEY FOSSEN. Doctors Praise Her. Four doctors of the City Joined an expression on of appreciation of Miss Listul's work in a signed tatement submitted to The Leader his afternoon.

WORK FUNDS APPROPRIATION OF $450,000 WILL BE ASKED PAY INDEMNITIES IN STATE MADISON, Apd. 9-Governor John J. Blaine today called a special session of the Wisconsin legislature to convene on April 15 to appropriate $450,000 for the payment of indemnities to owners of cattle destroyed in the tuberculosis eradication campaign, The executive issued a statement explaining that the emergency requiring the appropriation arose from the tests conducted in Wisconsin to provide Chicago with milk in accordance with an ordinance in that city barring milk from untested herds.
Is Pressing Emergency "The subject submitted involves a pressing emergency, and in my judgment the legislature will be able to dispose of it in a day," the governor stated. lature Madison at 10 His proclamation, calls the legisa. m. next Thursday, "to consider and act upon the following subject of legislative business, to-wit: "To appropriate the sum of four hundred fifty thousand ($450,000) dollars as an emergency appropriation the department of agriculture to be used exclusively for the payment of indemnities to the owners of diseased animals, heretofore or hereafter condemned by the order of the livestock sanitary board, by virtue of power and authority granted to the livestock sanitary board under Chapter 94 of the statutes of Wisconsin, a and In addition to other moneys heretofore appropriated for such purpose for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1926, and to provide that any balance remaining of such emergency appropriation shall be available for the same purpose for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1926." The statement accompanying the proclamation read: "The city of Chicago, on or about December 22, 1925, passed an ordinance requiring that on and after April 1, 1926, milk and cream sold for consumption within the city of Chicago must be produced by herds that have passed a satisfactory bovine tuberculosis test. The number of cattle in herds in Wisconsin furnishing such dairy products for the city of Chicago is estimated to be 185,000.
"In order to save to the dairy farmers, of milk this state market, it their was Chica- determined by the commissioner of agriculture and the livestock sanitary board that every effort should be made to have such herds tested. Up to April first about 95 per cent thereof had been tested. (Past experience in the testing work had led the livestock sanitary board to belleve that the percentage of reacterg in the counties furnishing the bulk of the Chicago milk would run from 4 to 18 per cent. Actual experience has demonstrated, however, that in some of the counties in the Chicago market area the percentage of reactors runs from' 12 to 60 per cent. "Due to Chicago milk ordinance and the unlooked for Increase in number of reactors, an unusual demand has been made upon the indemnity funds, The state funds aval able for bovine tuberculosis eradication for the year ending June 80th next were 00 The intensive work required in testing to save the Chicago market for the Wisconsin dairymen made such inroads upon the indemnity fund that it will become neoessary to discontinue the area test work unless an emergency appro: priation is made.
It the city of Chicago had not enacted its rigid ordinance, the funds available for indemnities were sufficient to carry on ordinary regular of the departmelt. It is found, however, that to carry on the ordinary regular work of the department, especially the area testing the department needs $450,000 to replace the funds taken from the regular appropriation in carrying on the work for the Chicago market area. The balance in the fund for tuberculosis eradication, on April Arst, was $462,728.01, the larger part of which, if not all, is required to meet past demands, and the livestock sanitary board, after careful analysis, recommends that $450,000 be appropriated as an eemrgency be appropriated An emergency regular work for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis may go on for the balance of the fiscal year. "Suggestions have been. made, if Joseph Weber Elected Mayor of 1 Durand; Cont st of Vote Hinted Following one of the closest election fights of Durand in some years, in which Joseph Weber was elected mayor over Edwin Schnug the small margin of 19 votes, hints that the vote may be contested were heard, indicating that a movement to have the ballots counted was contemplated.
The reports have not been verifled. Heavy Vote is Cast. According to reports from Durand, nearly everyone in the olty of voting age turned out to the polls on election day, with 783 votes cast, with the above stated result. However no sooner had the result been made known, according, the than of some- the legality of some of the votes cast before election day by so called absentee voters. It was stated that a number of the were seen near the polls on election day.
Contest Considered. No one would commit himself as to whom the "absentee" votes were cast for, but it was apparent that the rumors were aimed at tients as regards lack of care or inefficiency on her part. "She has conducted the hospital from an ethical standpoint and has always been ready to give professional service night or day. We consider her administration most efficient." Signed: A. F.
