JEwETT TAKES EXCEPTIONS.
Says That Hoch Didn't Do His Duty h
Treasury Examinations

F. B. Jewett, warden OF the peni-
tentiary. takes issue with Governor
Eoch about the examinations OF the
treasury being a farce Mr.. Jewett
gave out this interview here on We'd
nesdGy:
These examinations need not have
been farces- The governor says he
did not say the law was a farce. but
that the examinations made under It
ference which he said Either Is
wrong. The business of the treasury
is conducted much like that Of
county treasury. except on larger
scale I was a member of the exam
min gboard of the Sedgwick county
treasury for several years and I know
that our examinations were not farces
by a great deal.
"Our board called on the treasurer
every three months and after finding
how much money he ought to have
in his vault we counted the money
il it was there, and If it was net we
found out where it was If the treas
urer said that it was in one OF the
| depository in person and asked the
cashier If he had on deposit the
amount of money which the treasurer
Said was there.
why could not Governor Koch
have gone into the treasury every
month. and after looking at the war
rant and cash register counted the
money to see that it was there2 II
the money had not been found in the
vaults II would have been the duty
OF the governor and the other mem
! bers of the examining board to have
asked the treasurer where it was.
They could easily have checked up the
statement of the treasurer by calling
on the banks and ascertaining whether
the money was there This course
probably would have saved the state
| the embarrassment that it is now ex-
periencing- I am not saying this to
embarrass the governor or for pres
may be, which was the charge he
flung at Burrow this morning I
know what I am talking about, be-
cause I have seen other examinations

THAT DIDN'T FIX
Dance Hall Proprietors said to have paid that
Amount out to get "Protection".

For some time there have been
some strange rumors ahoat relative
to the attempt to start dance hall
in Bonners Ferry. In the first
place, the promoters of the institu-
ton met with a fiat refusal from
Mayor Alexander and the town
trustees to permit such an institu-
ton to be conducted within the
town limits, while it had been UNI
officially announced that Sheriff
Doust would not permit it outside
the town limits. Thus the matter
stood for some time, when sudden
ly the dance hall promoters got
busy and commenced erecting large
buildings and getting ready with
the purpose for doing business.
Then the rumors commenced to
float. 1t was charged that some
body had been fixed" and the
charges looked plausible, as it did
not seem probable that the promo
tiers of the institution would go to so
much expense without some assur-
ances that they could run.
The location of the institution
right in front of the school house

plants commenced to pour in on

came over to investigate and found
pretty mess indeed.
