LOOK OUT, YOTERs!!

Beware of false and misleading state
 ments in regard to Zulick's veto of
 the resolution to investigate the
 prisonl!i
 Hulick and his henchmen are claiming that an investigation had been made by the Committee on Public Buildings, and that further investigation would be a useless and unnecessary expense. Here are the facts
 On March 6, after having held joint resolution No. 8 for eight days, he re- turned it with his veto, in which the following language appears: Y First. The standing committee on public buildings and grounds has full jurisdiction It is composed of worthy and capable men; they have both integrity and ability to deal with all the questions intended to be covered by this joint resolution.
 And in speaking of the university and prison he says;
 That both have been honestly and efficiently managed in the peoples interests, none will question or even intimate. . while the Territorial prison expenditures show a large saving each year; and its management, all attest, is both honest and able,
 Zulick knew that he was mis- representing when he made the above statements.
 On March 20th, fourteen days after the notorious veto, and twenty-two days after the passage of joint resolution No. 8, a subcommittee of the Committee on Public Buildings did make report, and here it is:
 To J. 8, o'BRIEE, CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE ON
 PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS;
 sIR;-Your subcommittee appointed to ex- anime the books and vouchers of the superin- tendent of the Territorial prison, respectfully report that they have examined the same with as much care and attention us the short time at the disposal of the committee would admit of, and find the same correct and systematically kept Respectfully submitted,
 T. c. JORDAN,
 J c. JONES
 What magnificent report! How thorough and exhaustive. But the white washing process to protect Little Steve and the gang did not end with this. Oh mol Mir. J. s. O'Brien, chair man of the full committee on Public Grounds, in submitting the report of the subcommittee, volunteers the fol- lowing statement:
 MR. SPEAKER;-Your Comnittee on Public Buildings and GrounGs respectfully report that they have subpenaed the Superintendent of the Territorial Prison, with the books of the prison, and find, on examination of both, that the prison has been conducted economically sl. LA .a.. Al could find nothing to reflect on the manage ment of said prison, but on the contrary, find that the present management has done many eommendable things among others the build ing of sewerage system by the Superintendent more cheaply than had been suggested by any offers or bids made to his predecessor or to him seh We recommend that one appropria- tion of sl0,OOO be appropriated for building a water tank and placing pumping plant, and suggest that an appropriation of 5000 be made for building additional cells and for other pur- poses. We recommend the payment of ex- penses and mileage of the Superintendent of the prison subpGnaed here, to- wit, the sum Of s9l.2O
 J. S oBMEE, Chairman.
 The report of the men Who really did all the Investigating that Was done, was not satisfactory to the gang, so they must procure supplementary report from a man Dho Oas not present at aH dt the SO-called inUeSti9ation. But even if the supplement were true, what weight can possibly be given to it when it is based upon the fact that Mir. Behan, one Of the ring, acas subpGnaed to bring up the books. Mr. Behan! What was to pre- vent Mir. Behan from making up case to suit himself, prepare his books and bring just what suited his own sweet will and nothing else.
 What rot What an abortion to call an investigation And then Mir. O'Brien recommends that the sum of $94. 20 be appropriated to defray Mir. Behan's ex- penses, and further recommends that $l5,OOO be appropriated for improving the prison. The people cannot be de- ceived by such stuff. Too thin gentle men, too thin
