HUSSEY is CONFIRMED.
Oil Inspector Pays Back Money and
Satisfies Senate.

L. c.. Hussey's reappointment as
state oil inspector by Governor Hoch
was confirmed by the senate In execu-
tive session this morning without a
word of debate. When this reappoint-
ment was made several senators OBJ
jected to it's confirmation because the
question was raised as to the rlght OF
Mr. Hussey to collect from the state
mileage for which transportation had
been used.
On learning of this objection Mr.
Hussey looked up the law on the sup
iect and found that he was not en-
titled to such mileage and he made out
his check for the entire amount OF
mileage he had wrongfully collected
from the state.
Having rectified his mistake there
was no disposition on the part of any
of the senators to hold up Mr.. Hus-
sey's disappointment and it was con-
firm ed this kTfof1fing behind closed
doors in an executive session which
only lasted about three minutes.

day the senate shall proceed to vote
on any amendments and then upon

ground that considering the present

luton. expressed the hope that the
objection would be withdrawn. per
sonally'' he continued 81 should like

the senate, if an earlier day will suit

action, and after it was explained that
the resolution doubtless would be dis
cussed prior to the date mentioned,

and the order was agreed to as sug-
gested by Senator Burrows.
