1t is noticeable that the estimate Of
the very respectful Thomas Hull dated
May 10. 1909, includes aD item 7f $500
for furniture. What became Of that
furniture IS another story, which
Thomas Hull, treasurer, and Chairman
Spry. may yet tell to the legislature,
but it no doubt will be carefully edited.
Just a Family Affair.
What nice family affair it was when
they got TO Semitic! Hon. Commissioner
Rudolph kuchlcr took his wifa aud her
sister, Miss Ethel Orth, who was put
Jn the pay roll at one hundred dollars
month as "lady hostess - Thomas
Hull sent his daughter. Miss Flc1enco
Hull, and her maid, at the state e1-
pease and Miss Hull got another hun
drel n month as ''lady hostess. - AS
n matter of fact. she was the active
head Of the women missionaries of tho
Mormon church. The federal bunch con
tented themselves ny sending Mrs. Stew
cnson. a reporter on the Tntermountaia
Republican, who also became flady
hostess ut 500 per month, while Mr..
Chairman William Spry had TO content
himself at the pork barrel by the ap-
per month. ". H. Rowe, the director
general, put his grandson, Rowe Smith,
a boy aged seventeen, OIL the pay roll
as Jamtor. He didn Z do any work but
he drew the pny and saved his grandpa
some money
Many Missionaries in Field.
everybody had passes 10 almost ey-
crythIng. especially the Mormon mis-.
slonaries tDat were from time 10 time
sent into the field and at one time :t
was boosted by the brethren that there
were no less than one hundred and zen
missionaries in the field.
1he statement of expenditures IN tn
and including May 81. 1909, such as
II was and what there was of it, was
the only one ever made. State Auditor
Jewkes kicked at its gross inadeouacy.
but he has never been able to get anv
better statement of the cxpnditures Of
the Sl3.o93.53. and the balance of $1o.-
oo6i' has never been accounted for
any monthly report required by the
statute nor in the general report re-
CURED to be made at the close of tho
exposition,
It Is Up to Hull.
Thomas RuIl, you were the treasurer
OF this commission; YOU receipted for
$4,000 of the state funds to the state
auditor. You acknowledge in your
statement of May 81, 1909, that you
had balance of the 1907 appropri-
alton of S17S5.25 on April H. 1909.
What have you done with this money!
Have You got 1T? Jf so, why. Have
you spent it? If so, where, and what
have you got to show for it7 The fur
niture and many fixtures of the Utah
building at Seattle were sold. What
became of that money!
Spry Must Answer Also.
Mr. Chairman Spry, you were the
chairman of this commission. You cor
uhed TO the state auditor all the esti-
mates Of moneys needed by your COM
mission, What has been done with the
moneys7 What do you think of a con-
tlDgent fund IN one lump sum Of $4,000?
What was the necessity for It7 What
was done with iti Governor Spry, tho
law required you to report upon tho
conclusion Of the exposition. You have
not done so. Wbyf
You are governor of the state who
recently wrote to the county commits
sioners of Salt Lake county denounc-
ing an alleged wave OF CRIME that you
claimed was rising to the grave dan
ger of the city and state. You arc
the man who demanded that fifty
deputy sheriffs should be appointed and
paid out Of the public moneys to police
Salt Lake City,
Governor Spry, he who iuvokes the
law snOulu i've by the law. VIII You
make a proper report of the doings of
your Utah commission to the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition as required
by law7
AS to Hull's Sureties!
Mr.. Jackling and Mr.. Overfeld, YOU
are on the bond of Thomas Hull,
treasurer, whose sole accounting made.
amounting to $l3,093.53, is a scandal
and who has made no accounting of the
$l2,90647 in spite of the fact that tho
exposition has been closed a year, 1t
is your move.
