Three witnesses. all former employees
at Sacramento, told of the campaign
contributions made by the men work

office. In 1906 and again in 1909 as

per cent of each mans yearly income.
One employe, II. d. Calvin, said he
had refused to pay and had found it
expedient to resign his position on that
account.

Tells of Overstocking

J. J. Fitzgerald. stock clerk In the
state printing office, told of slipshod
methods in vogue in checking of the
stock used and in accounting for the
supply on hand. He said there are
now SO cases OF textbook paper that
have remained unopened in the ware
house for three years. and further, that
there was large supply of textbook
paper on hand when Shannon placed
the order for $4,000 worth with the
Zellerbach company in December, 1910.
When the last Zellerbach shipment
arrived. he said. there was no place
for 1T, and after small extra space
in the two warehouses had been filled.
the remaining paper was stacked in
the aisles of the printerie, the coal shed
and in rented warehouse down town.
Paper Loaned Back
Fitzgerald told the committee that
several times he had loaned large
quantities of paper and supplies. al
ready purchased by the state from the
Crocker company, back to the firm,
and that they were not returned In
some cases for nearly year. These
transactions were entered into at
Shannon's direction.
In an effort to determine whether
any textbook paper was sold to the
trade for the same figure paid by the
state, several questions were asked
Isadore Zellerbach. who was again a
witness, and Zellerbach finally admit
ted that every deal stands alone, and
that he always expected the buyer to
get the best he could for his money,
while he in return expected to get the
most he could for his commodity. EEL
lerbach said he did not care to do busi-
ness with the state unless he had q
big margin of profit. for there were
certain risks involved.
c. Bonestell of the Bonestell Paper
company later told the committee that
in his opinion there was no legitimate
reason for treating the state any DIFF
ferently than a private customer.
W. w Cuthbert. whose regime as
general foreman Of the printing office
under shannon lasted from 1903 to
1909. told how the warehouses came
to be overstocked. He said he had

Additional Subpoena Issued

j. L. Flynn, an employe of the III. S.
Crocker company, was a witness, but
not willing one, and the board had
little difficulty in gaining an under
standing of his position. Flynn init
mated that it would endanger his posi-
tion If he testified. and accordingly a
subpoena was issued for S. Fl. Wade.
a member of the board of directors and
the only officer of the concern now in
San Francisco. Wade came in the
afternoon, but stated that his work was
alone in the printing department, of
which he is superintendent, and that
he could not authorize showing the
companys books TO the committee.
william A. Barlage, cashier of the
same concern, did not know the
amounts paid to different manu-
facturers for supplies sold to the state
printer. He declared that his books
show no record of rebates given to
Shannon, or that the state printer ever
borrowed money from the firm.

GREATEST PLAY EVER SAW

He made the play on a ball field at Umtala. a village about 20 miles from lilo.
 There was an expedition sent up to quiet down that part of the cOun- try, and l happened to be a member of it. Quieting down that section of the country was like quieting down promo seltzer-it fizzed up again as soon as the pressure was off. We weren't successful in finding trouble when we were looking for it. but whole lot successful in finding it when We weren't. After lot of hard marching and sniping at night, and chasing after that bunch of them, had good little scrap and thought it was all over, so we settled down in camp at Umatala to rest few days. Of course, the Filipinos, who were our servants and best friends in daytime, used to crawl out through the lines at night and take pot shots at us, then creep back and cook our breakfasts, but We were not expecting any real scrapping. We had plety of time so we organ ized two baseball teams and played out on little level bit of pasture land near the jungle, not over hun dred yards from the edge of the will lage. l think my team had won two

Throughout that section of the state known as the Flint Hills come reports of more young coyotes being seen this sum- mer than in many years.
