WANTS CHARGES AIRED
AT A PUBLIC HEARING
State Official, Ousted After 14
Years, Says Accusations Must
Be Stated in Full
at Trial
N0 DEFINITE COMPLAINTS'
HAimiSBUna, Aujr. 2. Prof. II. A. Sur
face, State Economic Zoologist, whoso dis
missal from offlce was fixed for Aucust IS
at a meeting of the ARrlculturnl Commls
ilon Monday night, today Issued a state
ment setting forth what he says he knows
of the controversy existing between him
self and the commission, In the statement
the zoologist Invites the Governor and the
commission to set a tlmo for a public hear
ing, when the so-called charges against him
can bo aired. The statement In full fol
lows! "I was outside the Capitol Building start
ing homo about 8 o'clock Monday evening
when I was Informed that the Secretary of
Agriculture, Charles ,E. Patton, wanted to
eee mo. I went to his offices nnd was greet
ed In a friendly manner by the members
of the Agricultural Commission then In ses.
lon and was told by tho ' secretary that
they had called mo In to make a statement
J void, In the absence of charges or doflntta
complaints, I could not assumo specific al
legations, but talked concerning tho work
of tho Dureau of Zoology, I outlined Uie
character of tho servlco that It has de
veloped for our citizens during tho last 14
years, Bhowlug that during this tlmo It
grew from a one-room offlce with ono em
ploye to six roomi with nlno Indoor em
ployes and twenty-flvo field mon.
"I rcgrot tho Intimation has been made.
that I wish to have charges or criticisms
concealed. This Is a mistake, as I feel It
lmport1nt for tho citizens of the State that
tney should know who are my enemies,
and why they are. I, therefore, ask that
the Secretary of Agrlculturo and tho Gov
ernor kindly announce a time and a place
for a public hearing when all the Interested
persons may bo present, and In the absence
i V1"9- whch I am assured do not
exist. If there bo any criticism against me,
these can be made and explained. It Is
not Just to tho public that they should be
left under tho Impression that I have any
thing to conceal. I have gone through three
bitter periods of attack for my attitude In
public life, and each time have been ex
onerated completely. It can bo seen that
I would have learned to avoid all things
upon which charges can be made. In my
enthusiastic labors as a practical natu
ralist, I may havo mado mistakes, 'but I
do not know now what these are, and If
rSp?ls of tncm may l,IU0 reached the cars
of the members of tho commission I shall
be glad to know of them and to correct
them If possible, and avoid them In tho
future. At least the public has a right to
know, and I do not object to overy private
and public act of my life being made
known.
"I am glad I am on friendly terms with
nil my superior and inferior officers, and
I do not wish It Inferred that thero Is any
trouble between us or anything that I would
havo concealed."
