The records show that during the
month of October of last year Drug
Clerk Steiner drew a salary of 500
a month. That was under the ad-
ministration of the old board. Under
the administration of the new board,
in the month of January, the rec

same salary. The records also show
the salaries of the attendants have
not been raised. Some are recelv-

ing dependant upon the work they
perform, and a comparison show the
salaries for the respective position to
be the same as those paid in Octob-

and, If it is clean, he will probably
comply with the request.
Now John Doe is rot the real name
Of the prisoner, but the governor fol-
lows policy OF not giving the name
Of those whom he pardons or paroles.
This is done because he believes
that should he do SO 1t might hinder
the party paroled or pardoned from
securing employment. Because Of
the wishes OF the governor, the news
papers have refrained from using the
names. and that is the reason that
the name of John Doe is used here,
and must serve for the story.
Not CriminalIy Inclined.
According to Stanley, John Doe is
not criminally inclined, and when
caught entering the house he was
unarmed, and had but five cents on
his person. He says that he believes
the sentence of Judge Gantenbeln
was unnecessarily severe, and sends
along with ITS letter communica-

Peace for Mexico within 80 days, and

ian this morning to the effect that
Governor West gives James Lynth-
combe and wife, oolored, positions at
the asylum farm in return for votes
secured by Lynthcombe for the gov
ernor during the election, and which
also stated that the state board has
raised the salary of Drug Clerk
Steiner from $65 to 500 month,
and the salary of the attendants in
the open wards from $42.5O to SAT-
so. Governor West and State Treas
urer Kay today both took occasion to
deny it, and pronounce 1t without
foundation, and absolutely false.
Superintendents Do Hiring.
IT never at any time talked with
Lynthcombe concerning the position
he secured" said Governor West, in
speaking of the subject, "and the
story to that effect is not only false,
but absurd. Whenever an applica-
tion is made to the state board for
a position at any of the institutions
we refer them to the superintend-
ents Of those institutions, and, as ev-
idence of this, he exhibited letter
which he had just written to an ap-
plicant, and in which he was refer
red to the superintendent of the insti-
tuition where he desired position.
Lynthcombe's application came
in with scores of others, and, with
them, was referred to the superin-
tendent Of the asylum, and it was up
to him to select the employees he de-
sired The board never makes any
selection of help for the superln-
tendent of any of the institutions, as
they are responsible for the conduct
of the institution, and, the board be-
lieves that, under such conditions,
they should have free hand in the
selection of their help; nor does 1t
interfere with the discharge of help,
and employees are discharged daily
and hired without the board having
the slightest knowledge of 1t.
'T never talked to Lynthcombe
with relation to his position, and the
statement that I represented any
thing to him concerning it is as abb
surd as it is false
Salary Statement False.
"The board has not raised the
salary of the drug clerk or Of the

urer Kay, after corroborating Gov
