Waialua shows great advances, selling
at the beginning of the year at 100,

| These continued and steady advances
are due to several reasons, as previous

SAY STocKWELL IS SHORT
Senate Committee Also Claims He Kent
Whole Family on Payroll.

Bismarck, N. d., March D
According to the committee to
investigate the affairs of the
office of the superintendent of
public instruction, there is a
shortage in the office of Super
intendent Stockwell of about
So, 600.
! The committee includes in
this report the statement from
the superintendent that he used
these funds, but that he thought
he had the right to them.
The report shows that Stock
wells office during the past six
years has received about $l7,-
600 in fees.
1t also shows that Stockwell,
personally, his wife, Mrs. w.
l.. Stockwell; his sister, Miss
Clara Stockwell, of Ano-
ka, Minnesota; his sister-in
law, Mrs. Stockwell of Min
neapolis, have received about
$12. 600.
Some of this amount was
expended in reading examina-
ton papers and other work,
but the excess fees over ex-
penditures aggregates $5,OO
For state certificates alone
the sum of Sc, 900 was received.
A part of this was expended, as
the law directs, for reading
circles and specializing teach
ers, and the rest for purposes
not authorized under the law.
The committee reports that
three bills were passed by the
senate providing that the fees
of this office be turned over to
the state treasury, but in each
instance they were killed in
the house. Ployhar, the chair
man of the house committee
on educational affairs, is Stock
wells great friend.
