Prominent among candidates for the
speakership is Benton McMilin, of Ten
nessee, who began his successful career
as a representative at Washington with
the 46 congress. His wife is daughter Of
Ex-Governor Brown, said to be the richest
man in Tennessee, so that he possesses
social advantages in the contest upon
which he has entered. His home
is at Carthage and he represents the 4th
district of his state
Mr.. McMillin was born in Momoe
county, Ky, in 1S45. After receiving an
academic education he read law and was
admitted to the bar. He began practice

ence as legislator began with service in
the Legislature of his own state, as men,
ber of which he served one term. In
1876 he was an elector on the Tlldon and
Hendricks ticket, and the next year was
appointed by the governor of Tennessee

teutiary not to exceed 100000"
This provision is in addition to the act
of 1884, above referred to, and supple
mentary to it, giving the board full con-
trol Of both amounts, and in my opinion
the auditor is authorized to draw his war
rant on the treasurer against the peniten
liary current expense fund for legitimate
charges against the same as approved by
your board so long as there is any money
from convicts earning in the treasury.
In regard to the DISPOSITION of the funds
received for keeping United States prison.
ers under the contract with the depart
ment of justice, | would say that in the
absence of any expressed statute on the
subject | should think it entirely proper
and legal to place the same into the cur
rent expense fund of the penitentiry as
part of the penitentiary earnings and to
reimburse that fund for the expenditures
made out of it for such United States
prisoners, and that the same could be
drawn against by the auditor as stated
above. Very respectfully.

Solicitor General of New Mexico.

PENITEN FUNDS.
Ear ings of the Institution to be Drawn
Upon Because Of Exhaustion of
the Appropriation.

The following opinion of the solicitor
general is self explanatory:
Hon N. r. Laughlin, secretary board of pen
commissioners.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the 2lst inst.
stating that the amount available OF the
appropriation for the support and main
tenance OF the penitentiary for the 42d
fiscal year, l. Q. $2S, ,55S, was reported by
the auditor to be exhausted, with the ex-
ception of 1921 81, which amount only is
available for the maintenance of that in
stitution during the next three months !;
and asking if the auditor is author
lied to draw his warrant on the treasurer
for the current expenses of the peniten.
tiary during the remainder OF the 42d
fiscal year for salary of employees and
materials for building, ETC., and if 80 on
which fund shall he draw his warrant,
and also asking what disposition should
be made of the money due from the
United States for keeping its prisoners;
has had my careful attention, and in reply
| would say, section 253S, compiled laws
OF 1884, is as follows: "All moneys re-
ceived for the labor of convicts shall be
placed in the territorial treasury and
credited to the penitentiary fund and
wholly expended in constructing, enlarg-
ing, furnishing and repairing said penten-
tiary and in paying the costs of keeping
and maintaining the prisoners therein"
This provision is still in force and un-
repealed; its provisions are clear; and
Enthusiastically put the product of convict
labor into the fund for the support and
maintenance OF the institution.

petent authority, the land in question is
not within its boundaries. The secretary
finds that the reservation was legally Great
ed and that the lands in dispute are with
in its proper boundaries. Two OF these
entrymen, Messrs. Lawton and Tucker,
are army officers, and this fact, the secre-
tary says, disquaIihes them from making
or perfecting homestead entries. The
commissioner decision is affirmed.
