There s no record at the state house to show whether the cash fund had been reimbursed by Dr. Woodard, though New- ton says he kept that cash fund account and that the books contain no entry to show that the fund was replenished. The warrant which was issued to Larson, Newton sald he gave to Dr. Woodard. But it has not made its appearance at the auditor's office, so there is no record to show who cashed it. Newton sald he refused to permit Buper- Intendent Woodard to file the recelpts given him by Larson and from that time on he says he had trouble. He said he called the attention of the superintendent to the extra charge of 50 cents, but that Dr. Woodard had nothing to say about it. “Dr. Woodard took my mattress away from me and for several nights I was forced to sleep on iron springs. When 1 appealed to him to treat me right he | bromised to get me a mattress when he bought & large number. He sald he could not buy just one mattress. A few days |later, however, he bought one mattress for the use of his brother-in-law, Mr. Tracey. All this time my mattress was Iying under the table in the sewing room, where it had been kicked.” Dr. Woodard was asked about the charges made by Newton and he replied that he knew nothing of the detalls of the book- keeping and he did not recall the items mentioned to him. He said if there was anything wrong with the books it was certainly a case of the bookkeeper fixing them wrong. He courted an investigation of the charges. A FUR COATS.

Golng to and from the reception the teachers passed through the state house, every office being kept open and the em- ployes at work until late in the evening, so that the visitors could see that the tax- payers really have persons at work there. The Teachers' assoctation brought to Lin- coln some 4,500 visitors and the hotels were crowded and hundreds had to go to pri- vate homes, while in instances as many as four and elght teachers occupled one room. Considerable discussion arose during this meeting over the action of the executive committee in securing speakers who ap- parently represented some text-book con- cern. The officlals also came in far criti- cism over the fact that some of the edu- cators recelved complimentary membership cards, which cost others §1 each. Why the officlals gave complimentaries to some of the teachers and not to others was not explainable to those who lost out. Representatives of book concerns were thick around the teachers and the meet- ings had something of the appearance of an assoclation being exploited for com- ial purposes. In fact, the officers, willeh were elected today, as published this morning, had been known to several more than a month ago. When the teackers broke up their meeting there was apparent & desire on the part of some to go after the “ring” between now and the next meet- ing.

Hotel Loyal Block (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. b5.-—(Special.)—Attor- | ney General Thompson has filed in the federal court here an answer to the alle- gations of the Northwestern rallroad in its attack upon the legality of the 2-cent fare law and the other railroad legisla tion enacted by the legislature of 1907. | In denying the allegations of the rall- | road that the 2-cent fare law had caused | a loss of revenue to the corporations the | answer alleges the fact to be that the rallroads have made more money under that law than they did make under a | rate of 3 cents a mile when passes were in vogue. The answer sets out that the railroads did not receive 3 cents a mile per pas- senger prior to 1907, but received during | the year ending June 1907 not more than 2.216 dents per passenger per mile. In that same year the rallroads recelved | revenue per passenger train | during the fiscal year end- Ing June™ 1909, §1.536 revenue per pas- senger train mile, an increase of 8.4 per | cent. The gross passenger train revenue | of the Northwestern was not more than | $1,6385,949.17, and that the passenger train sarnings of complainant for the year end- | ing June 30, 1909, was not less than | 2,157,950.41, an increass in gross pas- senger train revenue for 1909 over 1907 of 31.66 per cent. The train miles used | 10 carry the passengers in 1907 was 1,155, h | KEARN 8§76, against 1,199,085 for 1909, an increase in train miles used of only 3.74 per cent. The passengers per train in 1907 aver- aged 62, in 1909 the average was 67. The operatng expenses per passenger train miles in 1907 was $1.234 and for 1909 $1.209, a decrease of 2 per cent. The net income of the road in 1907 was not more than $2,200 a mile, while for 1909 the net income was not less than $2,380 a mile from all business. The net operating in- come for 1907 was not less than $2,423,000 and for 1909 it was $2,627,000. The answer alleges that the decreasd freight and passenger rates has tended to Increase business rather than to cut down revenue. LAW OF MINNESOTA It Has Been Discovered that Must Use a Pass to Be Culpable. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. It has just been discovered clever stunt of the late demoractic legis- lature the anti-pass law has been ren- dered’ practically worthless. In amending the law to make it more liberal regard- ing employes of the roads, a joker was run In which provides that in securing a conviction It must be proven that the party accused accepted “and” used a pass. In the old law of 1907 convietion could be secured by proving the accept- ance ‘‘or'” use of the pass. While the Rallway Commission holds it is easy to prove the acceptance of the One 5.—(Special.)— that by a pass, to prove its use would be more dif- ficult. Because of that joker three cases were dismissed by the county attorney of Valley county. Nebraska News Notes, BEATRIC J. L.
