FELIX NEWTON THE ACCUsER
From a star Correspondent

LINCOLN, Nov. 5-(Special)-FeliX New
ton. deposed |bookkeeper at the Lincoln
asylum. has brought to the state house
and the executive office stories Of cruelty
practiced on himself by Superintendent
Woodland and tales Of deals which so i'm
pressed Governor Shallenberger that he
has announced that he would ask the
state accountant to investigate thoroughly
the institution.
Newton pointed out in the office Of the
state auditor a voucher dated August Is,
1909, made out to Gust Larson for ere
building firebox in boiler, fourteen hours
at 90 cents per hour, 800" Newton dug
up a record Of the same date as follows:
Received OF d. S. Woodland $3.50 for
laying brick under boiler firebox, fourteen
hours at 50 cents per hour This receipt
was signed by Gust Larson. In the
voucher which was filed with the auditor
for the payment Of these items, which
had been advanced by the superintendent,
was the item $3.50, though the work was
done for 50 cents an hour and the time
fourteen hours.
Another record dug up by Newton showed
that Edna Porter had secured an advance
of IS from Superintendent Woodland on
her February wages and that DR.. Woodland
was reimbursed by the state, and that the
state paid to her the SIS for the full
months work.
No Record Of Disbursement.
There is no record at the state house to
show whether the cash fund had been
reimbursed by DIR. Woodland, though New
ton says he kept that cash fund account
and that the books contain no entry to
show that the fun was replenished.
The warrant which was issued to Larson,
Newton said he gave to DR.. Woodland. But
1t has not made its appearance at the
auditors office, so there is no record to
show who cashed it.
Newton said he refused to permit Super
%intendent Woodland to file the receipts
given him by Larson and from that time
on he says he had trouble. He said he
called the attention of the superintendent
to the extra charge of 80 cents, but that
DIR. Woodland had nothing to say about it.
"Dr. Woodland took my mattress away
from me and for several nights 1 was
forced to sleep on iron springs. When l
appealed to him to treat me right he
promised to get me a mattress when he
bought a large number. He said he could
! not buy just one mattress. A few days
later, however, he bought one mattress
for the use Of his brother-in-law, Mr..
Tracey. All this time my mattress was
lying under the table in the sewing room.
where it had been kicked"
DR.. Woodland was asked about the charges
made by Newton and he replied that he
knew nothing Of the details Of the book
keeping and he did not recall the items
mentioned to him. He said II there was
anything wrong with the books 1t was
certainly a case of the ~bookkeeper fixing
them wrong. He courted an Investigation
of the charges.

JOKER IN ANTI-PASS
LAW OF MINNESOTA
Must Use a Pass to BE
CuIuabIe.

LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 5.-(Special.)-
It has just been discovered that by a
clever stunt Of the late demoractic legis-
lature the antl-pass law has been rem
dered practically worthless. In amending
the law to make it more liberal regard
ing employees of the roads, a Joker was
run in which provides that in securing a
conviction 1t m u be proven that the
party accused accepted and" used a
pass. In the old law of 1907 conviction
could be secured by proving the accept
ance or use of the pass.
While the Railway Commission holds It
is easy to prove the acceptance Of the
pass, to prove its use would be more diff
ficult. Because of that joker three cases
were dismissed by the county attorney Of
Valley county.
