LANSING, Mich, April 18.-The
report of the special committee ap-
pointed two months ago to investi-
ported to the house today. Ii is mild
In comparison with the charges
which caused the committees ap-
pointment.
In the provisions purchased and
the dietary. nothing wrong was found,
the patients being well fed and cared
for. The committee states:
"The evidence shows there exists
no line OF demarcation between the
funds as they are used In the institu-
ton. There Is unanimity of opinion. ac-
cording to the witness who testified
that the current expense fund is used
for special and building purposes
without regard to whether the amount
In the special appropriation Is ex-
hausted. The evidence shows that
during the years covered neither a
building nor single institution was
completed within the amount origin
ally or subsequently provided by spe-
cial appropriation OF the Legislature" !"
The report mentions several funds
which It is charged were used for diff
ferent purposes than those for which
they were appropriated. II charges
unbusinesslike methods In purchasing
$4,000 worth Of coal year without
asking bids"
Steward John Hoffman, who was
put under fire In the charges testified
that the act on his part was under
the authority of the board OF trus-
tees and everything he did was ap-
proved by the board. The committee
said that this was admitted by the
members Of the board, except that J.
G. Belknap did not wish to be under
stood as authorizing anything which
was unlawful
The committee says that the testi-
mony clearly discloses that the ac-
counts have not been kept In accord
ance with the letter OF the law. The
system is not necessarily at fault, but
the method OF Judging accounts would
render any system of accounting made
quate II the present conditions are
to continue. The present system OF
bookkeeping, the committee states
does not disclose to the state or the
people the proper knowledge OF ac-
counts OF the institution. IL Is charg-
ed that the farm, garden and stock
fund Is never reported to the auditor
general nor considered a part OF the
current expense fund. SANFORD.

GUY S. OSBORN has issued
a little booklet entitled "WHY
NEWSPAPERS?" The intro
duction is: Remember, it's not
what you pay for the ad.-it's
what the ADVERTISEMENT
PAYS YOU! Advertising is to
business what yeast is to bread.
Mr.. Osborn represents several
good newspapers and his busi-
ness is to secure advertising for
them. but he is very broad in his
views and has so much faith in
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
that he says:
"This little booklet may fall
into the hands of some adver-
tiser who would like to learn
more about daily newspaper adj
vertising and it's possibilities.
Even though you may not be
interested in the territory COW
cred by my papers, l should be
glad to give you all the informa-
ton l can or refer you to other
representatives whose papers do
cover the territory"
This is the spirit of CO-OPE-
RATION that is gradually mani
Testing itself among newspaper
workers for the good of the
newspaper advertising cause.

President Taft today by Senator Cul'

senate committee on foreign relations
and Representative Sulzer (Dem.
N. ". chairman Of the house com
mittee on foreign affairs.
Both Cullom and Slzer asserted that
they would await special message
from the president. They were arous.
ed by the presidents intimation in q
telegram to Governor Sloan. Of Ari.
zona, that the situation was up to
congress. but they declined to accept
that view.
"The senate will take no action un.
less the president sends a special
message to congress-" said Cullom
following an interview with Taft to
day.
"The new committee appointments
have not yet been made and I do not
wish to call meeting until there ID

Cuiiom said the president took-a
more optimistic view Of the situation
today and he hoped for the carly res

Sulzer viewed the situation more
seriously. but also said that congress
must await q message from Taft.
Informal notice that the United
States will shortly receive note from
Mexico with assurances Of definite

received at the White House today.
It was believed that the note would

There will be no precipitate or dras-

Mexican situation. Representatives
Sulzer, (Dem., N. ", chairman OF
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, declared today. Sulzer was
preparing to visit the White House
for a conference with the president,
regarding the situation at Douglas,
Ariz.
The main point, worrying Sulzer, is
Identical with the big consideration
in the mind Of President Taft. Sul-
ger said that there we're 10000 or co.
900 Americans In Mexico with little
or no protection, and that he feared
that they would be the first victims OF
armed intervention by the United
States. That the only safety OF ST.

The presidents reply to the appeal
for aid from Governor Sloan, OF Ari-

With his weather eye always open
for bad ones, Sheriff Fenton spied
suspicious looking coon about town
Sunday and was convinced that he
was the fellow wanted in Atchison for
the murder of Almena Moore eolored
in Atchison last October. Pictures tf
the murderer were in the sheriff's
office and so strong was the resem-
blance that about noon Sunday he
and Deputy Mcfarland went to
shanty on Pacific Hill occupied by a
colored family. cstensibly looking for
another party Mcfarland was sent
the sheriff talked with the family he
kept his eye on Moore. Evidently.
Moore was suspicious, for the sheriff
saw him draw something from his
pocket, which proved to be an ugly
looking razor open and ready for use.
l}ut big e.m n the hands of Sheriff
Fenton is an ugly thing to look into,
and Moore's hands went up promptly.
When searched 100 cartridges for an
automatic gun were found on him but
no gun.
Al first Moore denied his identity.
but diary found in his possession
that since the murder he has been up
and down the Pacific coast and as
far east as Montreal, Canada. Later
Moore confessed. Chief of Police
Sullivan came up from Atehison
Monday and took Moore back. He
agreed to return without requisition
papers He says Moore is in every
sense a bad man and was in troub-
lie repeatedly. He was surprised that
he gave up without a big fight as he
Is just the fellow to try it There
was a reward of 5000 for Moore's ar

and % days Mr.. Gilbert had been
patient sufferer for many months
and all that loving thoughts and ten
der care could do to prolong his
stay were done, but nothing ayailed
On the evening of Jan. eth. he was
taken TO the hospital to undergo an
operation, which it was thought and
hoped would bring relief, and at least
partial health again On Monday
morning the operation was success
fully performed and he came through
the ordeal much better than was ex-
pected and gained a little each day,
until Thursday at midnight, he took
suddenly worse, and the family were
notified, he could last only few
hours. They FASTENED to him only
to find the death Angel had reached
his side first, and he was at rest.
The remains were brought home on
Friday night and the funeral preached
by Rev Brooks of Falls City, Sunday
at o'clock,p. m A large crowd of
old friends and neighbors came to
pay their last respects to him, who
had been one of them so long. The
beautiful casket was covered with
flowers, silent tribute of loving
friends. Mr.. Gilbert was quiet un-
assuming man, who could count as
friends all who knew him.
To his family, ever kind, tender
and thoughtful of their welfare, moth
ing can ever fill his place to them.
But may the thought that he is for
ever at rest and knowledge of the
happy lives they spent together, COM
fort them, and may the one who
said, 81 will be a husband to the
widow and father to the fatherless"
bring them peace The remains
were tenderly laid in the Silent City,
to await the resurrection morn.
