Haskins & Sells of Chicago viii
Investigate State Departments.
Advisory Board WithhOIds InfOr-
nation About Work.
HOW FAR Is 1T TO GO.
That appears to Be Question to
Be Settled.
Firm Chosen Has a Reputation
Says Mr.. Howe.
HOW FAR Is 1T TO GO.

Governor Hoch and his private ad-
visory board have selected Haskins &
Sells, of Chicago. as the firm of expert
accountants to make the investigation
Of the state treasury and other de-
partments. The accountants will re-
ceive s25 day, and their expenses
when working outside of Topeka.
It is expected that the firm will
send some representative here to do
most of the work Of investigation. but
Mr.. Sells himself viii probably be in
personal charge part of the time.
The advisory board talked over the
question of what departments are to
be included in the investigation. but
nothing viii be given out for publ
cation about this part of the work.
Judge 4. r. Clark said this morning;
I'VE viii have to draw the line in this
investigation somewhere; we can't in
VesElgaIe every department ana every
board. 1t would be a task of such huge
dimensions we would possibly never
see the end of it. The only department
about which there has been much talk
and against which charges nave been
made is that Of state treasurer"
All the members of the board were
in the city for the meeting They are
Judge Clark of Sterling, Judge A. w.
Benson of Ottawa and Samuel T.
Howe Of Topeka.
Governor Hoch said this morning: "I
am very anxious to get this work
started"
Samuel T. Howe, one of the mem
bers of the board, said this morning:
s'The firm OF Haskins & Sells is sec
Ond to none in reputation. 1t has
been established for a long time. and
has done a great deal of work in es-
tablishing systems of municipal ac-
counting in large cities. There We're
about dozen firms applicants for the
position, and we selected Haskins &
Sells as the best and most reliable.
The investigation viii begin as soon
as the firm can get ready"
Haskins & Sells have never up to
this time had any connection with the
various investigations of the state
treasurer's Office. They come into an
entirely new field for their efforts
The advisory board viii hold an
other meeting when the expert ac-
countant sent here by the firm arrives
on the ground. At that meeting they
viii 60 over the situation with him,
and probably decide what is to be in
Vestigated first.

WOMEN IN TEARS.
Sorrow at I.esvenworth Prison When
the NIatrOn Leaves.

I-eavenwOrth, Kan. May 16.@The
sight Of twenty-nine women prisoners
in tears was witnessed at the Kansas
penitentiary when Chaplain McBrain
made the announcement that Miss
] Jessie H Fugate, the matrOn of the
woman's department had resigned and
that this would be their farewell ser
vices for her. AS a rule there is not
much sentiment manifested among the
women prisoners OF a penitentiary
over the departure of one who has
been an officer. When a matrOn was
leaving a few years ago the prisoners
danced in joy. She turned back and
locked them up in their cells for spite.
The prisoners ratified the gratings and
screamed at her a last farewell
Tt was entirely different yesterday
when the news of the departure OF
Miss Fugate was made. Jessie Nor
rison. who is usually very stolid. cried
with the rest, and told Miss Fugate
she felt as if she We're losing a friend
Miss Fugate was two years assistant
matron and the last two years matron
She quit voluntarily. The officials
wanted her to remain. She will be
succeeded as matron by Miss Amy
Brown Of Burlington Kan.

SALE OF a COAL NINE.
Home-Riverside Property at Leaven-
worth Brings S855,O0O.

Leavenworth, Kan. May 1.-THE
Home-Riverside Coal Mining company's
property, consisting of three mines and
valuable coal rights on both the Kan
sas and the Missouri side of the river
has been sold for $685., 600 The property
was bought by W. F. Smith OF CleVe-
land, who represents the eastern bond
holders. The property was sold in com
pdance with d decree issued by Judge
William G. Hook of the United States
circuit court The property has been in
litigation and in the hands of A. p King
and r. w Snyder as receivers for the
last two years.
The sale is expected to be confirmed
and if this is done it is reported that
the company will be reorganized with
y. w. Snyder as president and A p.
King as manager of the mines
Frank Phelps, the special master who
conducted the sale, first offered the
property at public auction in Platte
City Mo, City, Mo. Monday W. f.
Smith was the only bidder and offered
$4,000 for the property in Missouri and
$3.50 900 for the property in Kansas He
afterwards bid $3.50 600 for the entire
property. The special master offered
the property in the same way at the
courthouse in this city at . o'clock in
the afternoon, when Mr.. Smith made
sold to him
Just before the sale in this city notice
OF a claim for $4,000 for royalties on
behalf of Leavenworth city was served
on the special master. 1t was in the
nature of an attachment in compliance
with suit instituted here by the city
OFFICIALS. IT is alleged that the old com
pany owes the city One-eighth of a cent
bushel for coal mined under streets
and other land of the city in accordance
with an agreement entered into in 1869
1t is alleged also that the old company
owes the state school fund a similar
amount. A suit on behalf of the stat,
is expected.
These claims are not likely to inter
dere seriously with the operation of tn,
mines. A suit somewhat similar in ma
ture was started once by the fedora
government for coal royalties for Goa
taken from under the Fort LeavenwortI
reservation but no money was ever col
lected as result. Tt is understood tina
all of the bond and stockholders exceD
few persons with small claims ar
satisfied with the present sale of tn
property and that no further litigation
is likely to follow
