WHO cor TEE coAL7


Topeka, Kan, June 6.--From Octo-
Der 20, 1908. to April %, 1904. the state
billed 329.71 tons Of coal from the
state mine in the Lansing peniten-
tiary to Topeka, and the figures from
the Office Of the state house engineer
show that the coal did not reach there
This is one Of the problems in shrink
age which the new state accountant
will be asked to solve. The records
from the penitentiary mine show that
4,666,262 pounds Of coal were put on
board cars there between the dates
mentioned and billed for Topeka, but
the records at the state engineers Of
nce show that only 4,006,s32 pounds
were weighed at the state scales and
unloaded into the state bins. The Of
fcers at the state heating plant say
their figures are correct. Each Of the
railroads, over which the coal was
shipped, collected freight for the
amount of coal billed from Lansing,
but the state did not have the benefit
Of the coal.

inent ofiiceholder in the state, during
which time he has served as state
treasurer, auditor Of state and chair
man of the democratic state commit
tee, is named in an indictment re-
turned by the April grand jury. The

list of rules governing saloons, which
he recently drafted and handed to
Chief of Police Kiely, with the request
that he instruct his officers to see that
they be strictly enforced.
