count of the great pressure of work
there has raised a question as to the
employment of William B. Dulaney,

or several years , been , President
Roosevelt's barber, was appointed as
a "sp'eclal accountant" In the office
of the auditor for the navy depart-J

president's barber at the white house, iUH0n on that account. It Is one of
where before Mr. Roosevelt ordered
his transfer to a $1,600 job he was
carried on the rolls as a messenger at
$900 a year; :
' It was said last spring that as
Boon as the-time arrived for Mr.
Roosevelt's departure for Oyster Bay
Dulaney would take up his duties In
th - navy auditor's office. This
proved not to be the case, for Du -
laney went to Oyster Bay in June,
where he continued to shave the

The biggest local item in yesterday's
paper was the resolutions printed by
the board of aldermen and distributed
all over the city and to the houses of
the legislature. The people of the en-
tire city are interested in this matter
and many of them were asking yester
