STATE SHORTACGE MADE GOOD Platte on Fi ton, | half brother | (From a Btaft Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, Dee. 17. — (Special.) Tn«“ ihortage of former Ol Inspector J. N. | saffin was today made good by the pay- | ment of $622.08 to the state by the Fidelity | nd Deposit company of Baltimore. The | jettlement was brought about by the State | Board of Compromise, of which the attor- aey general, state treasurer and state | uditor are the members. A check for the smount due the state was given to the wditor and by him was turned over to the \reasury department. The fallure of Mr. Gafin to make a com- plete settlement with the state at the time he retired from office was discovered by Oll Inspector E. R. Sizer a few days after he assumed his Auties and was promptly reported to the attorney general. The bonding company was notified and a repre- sentative was sent here to check over the records. The investigation proved that all money recelved by Gafin had not been ac- counted for and an offer on a compromise basis was made to the state. As reported by Mr. Sizer the shortage was $622.03. The books indicated that $100 of this amount Bad been withheld from the salary of a stenographer in the ofice. Mr. Gaffin fled | an aMdavit asserting that the $100 was ex pended for other clerk hire and the bonding | company offered to settle the balance. After gome consideration the board agreed to the offer and the settlement was completed today. The State Board of Compromise was cre- ated by an act of the last legislature. The chiet object of the law was to enable the state officlals to effect a compromise with the bondsmen of former Treasurer Bartley, but by its terms the board is authorized | 1o settle other claims which are in dispute. | J. N, Gafin was one of the organizers of the people’s independent party and for a time acted as chairman of its state cen- tral committee. He wag appointed ol In spector by Governor Poynter to succeed J. H. Edmisten. Pew Scekers After Work *No, we're not having many applications for employment these days'* sald R. A. Hod chief clerk in the state employment office, toda; ““We have reasons to belleve that there are a great many without work, but they do mot communicate thelr condi- tion to this department. Most of them are | farmhands who worked steadily during the | summer months and were laid off in the fall because of the local crop damage. “An erroneous {mpression prevails among | the unemployed that the crop damage was | general all over the state and for that rea- | ®on work is scarce. For instance, a man who lives in & community that lost heavily through the drouth last summer belleves that conditions are the same elsewhere and he is content to remain where he is In mnticipation of steady work next summer. ‘“There are some localities in this state [where employment may be had for tho ask- fing. We have an mpplication here from Podge county for a man for steady, con- tinuous employment, but know of no one to fill the position. Cases of this kind, of course, are rare at this season of the year. “It would’ b Impassible to estimate’ the /mumber of laborers and farmers unem- ployed, not because of their number, but ‘because we have no facilities for gathering statistics of this nature. The department deals almost exclusively with farmers and pur service among this class is scattering ARways Work on Ratlroads. ‘*We have frequently been asked whether we can furnish employment to rallroad Iaborere. There is always more or less Pailroad extension or construction or grad- Ing going on, but the work is fnvariably flone under contract and the laborers are supplied by the agencles in Omaha and pther large citles that are in close touch With the contractors and know their needs and are in a position to fill them. These Bgencies can give the men tranaportation to the point where they are to be put to work. The laborers know this, they know ur inability to give them work and conse- quently apply only to the railroad labor Agencies. ““The free employment feature was added to the work of the department of labor and industrial statistics four years ago and may b 14 to be in its infancy. But still con- siderable good work has been done fn the way of finding work for the unemployed, and the experience of these few years has suggosted soveral chamges In the law gov- srulng the work which should meet with the spproval of the legislature. Department is Handicapped. ' | “In the first place the department 'a handicapped in not having facilities for certalning where employment may be had. If & man tells us he wants a man to work tor him we make a record of the fact and ronsult our books to see whether any man has applied for work of the kind offered. If no msn s available we have only to wait until some man does apply who fills the bill. We cannot go out and look for the position, por can we go out and look for the man to DIl the position. There ahould be some provisions made for advertising for help when help is wanted, and for positions when positions are wanted. } “Another thing which stands as a bar to Rhe successful operation of the department the fact that we have only one office, Which is located in the state house. We mhould have some representation at the Jabor centers and then we would be in a jposition to deal in labor of all kinds, skilled An4 unskilled. There is no reason why the state cannot conduct an employment pgoncy as successfully as & private in- Givddual or corporation. [ ¥ w1t 1s the unantmous opinon of all per- wous who have been connected with this pffice that branches should be established in Dmaha, Fremont, Grand Island and per- paps one or two other places. Under this Arrangewent close communication could be bad with the large employers, and it would pot be necessary to carry on our work by madl, Buppose, for instance, a man in Fre- ont s without work and without much money. It he wants to do business with Air department he must eitber pay bis fare lo Lincoln or communicate with us by mail. To get a letter to Lincoln and reply In return would take at least three days, to say nothing of the correspondence with the prospective employer, which would be nocessary in nearly all cases “When the Nebraska legisiature proposed 1o establish a free employment agency the sommissioner of labor of the state of Illi- nots foresaw the difficulties under which wo would have to work if the bill then pend- dng became a law. He sald in his annual 'report that the functions of the bureau of Jabor and industrial statistics were so en- tirely distinet from the functions of the employment bureau that any attempt to |unite them absolutely, as contemplated by Nebraska and Moutana, would impair the ches Proposed Elsewhere. | been | that collections are better than for several | eral | wholesale | are active |an THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1901. employed, and cur prayer s that the leg fslature will provide means with which we an perform the best possible service, Our records show that the department has given work to over 500 unemployed.

The preliminary trial of C Heywood who Is accused of the murder of John GHili was continued in police court today and be resumed tomorrow. Testimony on | behalt of the defendant was presented, all | tending to prove an alibl.

The burglar alarm went off, awak- | ening John France, an employo of the American Express company, who sleeps in | the office of the company, in the rear of the | building. France thought he heard some- one at the door and fired two ehots, one of which came uncomfortably close to the ears of a boy who was dolivering the morning papers. The boy at once called a police- man. The bank officlals were summoned, and while some guarded the doors of the | bank, others with lanterns and revolvers | went through the building without discover- | ing anything out of the way. | When they reached the basement, “old | John' Hassett was cleanihg out the fur- naces and he dropped the poker and called | out, “What's the matter?’ It was found that some waste paper had been thrown up against the wires, completing a circult and setting off the alarm. Albert VanAnda, the boy who was delivering the papers, was hit in the mouth by a splinter of wood trom the door and the bullet evidently passed within a foot or #o of his head. s FARMERS’ niver INSTITUTE CLOSES 1 Interest Shown by All and Heneficial Result 1s Fxe- pected.

There will not be wind enough to bother about and probably no snow or even cloudi- nees. That tells the whole In its abbreviated form. To go Into detalls, it may be sald that a season of higher temperature was predicted by Forecaster L. A. Welsh yester- day and that the conditions and changes | since that time have been precisely those be | anticipated {n his carde. He had sald that yesterday would be cold and it was. At 5 A m., the mercury was at zero and it fell to 6 below by § p. m.; then it took a turn in the other direction and reached 2 above at 4 o'clock, atter which it began its regu- lar night decline, golng to & below at 9| p. m, when the last reading was made. The readings made elsewhero at 7 p. m., seemed to indicate that the coldest weather | then was in the upper Mississippl valley and the Missouri valley. It was 8 above zero at St, Louls and 2 below at St. Paul Valentine reported 8 above; North Platte 16 above; Cheyenne 32 above; Denver 46 above; Kansas Clty 4 above; Davemport 4 above; Des Moines 2 above; Blsmark 12 be- low and Huron § below. | The only snow falllng at that hour was | at Williston, N. D, but during the day | there had been slight flurries at St. Louls, | Kansas City, St. Paul, Detroit and Rapid City. Over this final termination of the Arctic | season, which began early last Friday morn- | ing, Forecaster L. A. Welsh of the local | bureau will be quite as rejoiced as will the | public, for he has had little peace during the last few days, and particularly Monday evening. One cold smap trailing the other 80 closely—the first coming so suddenly— commlssion men and other shippers were at A loss to know what to do, and they kept the bureau 'phons ringing continually. To make matters worse, & report was clrcu- lated Monday afternoon that the most violent blizzard in years was raging in western Nebraska—and then the general public took a hand in the inquisition. All sorts of questions were asked and by the | time Mr. Welsh and his staff had answered them they were ready to dispute the last | census report for the city of Omaha.
