CALL ON JOHNSON TO
EXPLAIN ACCOUNTS
Committee Members Curious Regarding
Former Examiners Mileage Books

Former Public Examiner S. T. Johnson
is still i'll at his home in Minneapolis, and
unless his recovery is effected within the
next few days the house public accounts
committee will present its report of the
examination of his office without an ex-
PLANTATION of certain findings already
reached from the records of his office.
While the committee has been working
quietly, ii Is said that 1t desires to hear
MIR. Johnson's explanation as to certain
expense accounts on file in his Office.
Between $500 and $500 charged the state
for mileage, it is said, is in dispute The
claim is advanced that in some cases the
committee has failed to find the usual $40
rebate on mileage books paid by railroads
when the mileage in the books is exhaust
ed, and in other cases an explana ton Is
wanted as to mileage charged the state by
the former examiner when il Is insisted
that the trips were made on passes. The
number OF the passes. with the conduc-
tors signature, etc, are said to be In
the hands of the committee which has
conducted the examination. Members OF
the committee said yesterday that Ii is
possible that Mr.. Johnson can explain the
apparent discrepancies. He has been sub
poenaed, but his family physician has
declared positively that he is too i'll to
leave his home in Minneapolis.
the public accounts committee yeSter-
day considered the Armstrong bill to
legalize settlements for timber cut on
state lands by Minneapolis lumbermen
after the life of the permits had expired
by limitation. The original bill included
some five cases of the same general char
acter. but the committee agreed to re-
Backus- Brooks company held the permit
The permit was extended by the state
timber board. A fight is imminent in the

lions in connection with our inquiry re-
garding the price of crude oil. We will
secure every available fact regarding the
oil industry the country over. For years
past the government has been gathering
using these statistics and other facts to
the best advantage is something that
President Roosevelt and his advisers are
studying very carefully and their con-
ciuslons Will have great bearing on the
whole corporation question.
There is one thing in connection with an
investigation of this character that the
the profits resulting from price fixed
through an agreement are small is not
material. The mere fixing of any price
or the attempt to fix any price through
agreement is in violation of the antitrust
law. In the beef trust inquiry the Martin
resolution directed the department to
make an investigation regarding the
profits OF the packers. This was only a
part of the ground covered by the investi-
has no relation to charge of violation of
the law. The same things could be true
in the case of the Standard.
Mr. Garfield intends visiting the
oil fields in Oklahoma, Texas, Colo
RADIO and California before he makes
his report
Commissioner Garfield announced
tonight that the investigation of the
Standard Oil company in Kansas
would be started at once. The hear
ings will all be secret. Mr.. Garfield to-

NEWS OF THE CITY
HALF THROUGH CODE
Conferees Agree on Sixty Chap.
tiers In One Dcy

Unless some sunken rock is encoun-
tered by the conferees the prospects are
that the code will sail into legislative
port by noon today. The enacting
clause has been changed from Dec. 1,
1905, to March 1, 1906.
The conference committees of the
two houses spent all day yesterday on
the code. The 900 amendments adopted
by the senate with the amendments Of
fered by the house and stricken out by
the senate, were under discussion. At
noon 40 chapters had been disposed of
and last night when the committee ad-
journed so of the total of III chapters
had been considered and agreed to by
the conferees. Chapter so is the chap
ter on corporations and is said to have
given the conferees very little trouble.
The date when the code will take eff
feet if finally passed by both houses,
was changed from Dec. 1, 1905, to
March 1, 1906, as it was believed to be
good policy to give opportunity for
judges and attorneys to familiarize
themselves with it's contents.
The senate receded from it's chapter
on drainage and the house chapter was
substituted. Not be outdone in polite
ness, the house gave way to the senate
chapter on game and fish protection.
The chapters differ radically and are
in effect codes in themselves for the
subjects covered. A split over the fees
provided for clerks of courts did not
materialize in the committee.
The meetings of the confereeS were
executive, but a member of the house
committee last night propheSied that
the revision would be ready to report
to the house and senate at noon today
The house members were for spending
an evening on the work last night, but
the senators objected.

BARBARlANS WIN OUT
AGAINST THE GREEKS

Members of college fraternities yester-
day vainly argued with ''barbs'' and
other prejudiced legislators against the
purposes of the Rachie BILL to prohibit
Greek letter societies in high schools
normal schools and the freshmen class OF
the state university.
The bill, after a debate that alternated
from the humorous to the serious was
recommended to pass by the house In
committee of the whole. DR.. Elias Rachie,
author of the BILL self-confessed barb
during his years at the state university,
made the principal speech for the bill. He
was assisted by p. E. Bowling. who spoke
Tor the democracy OF state high schools.
Elmer Z. Adams, b. II. Timberlake and
DR.. ]. A. Gates. college men who had won
their spurs in .'frats,' were the principal
opponents of the bill. Karl De Laittre a
Harvard man. tried TO amend the Rachie
bill to confine its prohibitory terms to high
and normal schools, but in vain. Rural
members, who are opposed to society
at the university and to the fraternities
and sororities in high schools. stood by
the Rachie bill and it was recommended
to pass.
