In conclusion the committee leels
that il has done its duty as wen do
nossihle under the circumstances
The time has been comparatively
short, and with the press OF othei
work in which the members have
been interested, the task has been
A heavy one. We feel hal In the
future the work ccould be carried on
to advantage by several committees
each having a special duty.
The result of our Investigations
may be summed up in these WORDS:
Those holding Office or employ
ment are under the state govern
ment responsible to the public ana
amenable to the law, and mat IL
their sense of duty and patriotism
does not guide their conduct the
fear of punishment should" '
The evidence in the police inquiry
showed that many of the complaints
made were prompted by suspicion
rather than being based on facts.
= .
In this mater the committee feels
warranted to make these reeommen-
dations;
That the law in regard to trans
portation be strictly complied with.
That every man employed be
named on the roster.
That the Governor and Snperin-
tendent make investigation where aid
is asked unless it appear that quick
relief is necessary.
That steps be taken to correct the
friction in the department.
That strict economy be p~raetieed,

partment for the last two years

Notwithstanding that the Ely trouble
was responsible for a large part OF
the expense. We feel that the depart

ity. and that If any changes are re-
CURED that it should be made by
amendments TO existing laws.

LEGISLATIVE
INVESTIGATION
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO LOOK
INTO STATE INSTITUTIONS
MAKES INTERESTING DISCLOS-
URES CONCERNING CONDUCT.

The following is an abstract of the
report of the legislative committee
named to investigate the several in
stitutions under state jurisdiction.
The investigation covers all of the
state departments except the insane
asylum and fish commission, which
we're passed by because of lack of
time:
To the Honorable the Senate and
Assembly:
Carson City. Nevada,
Gentlemen:
Your special joint investigating
committee herewith submit a report
of its proceeding. In submitting this
report the the committee feels that it
has gone as thoroughly into the mat
tiers referred to it as was possible in
the short time at its disposal. The
committee from the outset has re-
garded its Investigations as a solemn
duty to the State and at no time has
prejudice taken the place of fairness
in the proceedings.
The committee has taken a mass
of evidence bearing on nearly every
department of the state government.
In every case 1t has been the aim to
get at the bottom of things, regard
less of who might be affected. 1t
has worked on the theory that a pub
lie Office is a public trust, and that
those entrusted with the management
of the affairs of the state must at all
times be ready to give an account of
their stewardship.
We hope that our labors will be
productive of good. In many cases
statutes. The recent growth of the
state has brought about many con-
ditions which were not anticipated,
and this legislature should endeavor
20 remedy the conditions discovered
in our deliberations.
For some there are nothing but
words of commendation; censure
must be the lot of others; and there
is the great middle ground where
honest mistakes have been made
which has led to laxity that must be
corrected. We feel that the pruning
knife may be used to advantage in
some departments
In the main the statutes are man.
datory. There is little ground for
discretion. and If discretion is used
too freely there arises a condition
that produces friction between de-
partments. 1t is this fault, more
than any other, that is responsible

Nevada State Police.

Your committee made a thorough
investigation of the affairs of the
Nevada State Police. We realize that
a great deal of criticism has been di-
rected toward the department since
its organization and felt that a
searching inquiring should be made.
Nearly every member was examined.
While the expenses of the depart
ment for the past two years have
been very heavy, we We're unable to
get any reason therefor except that
the details were more numerous and
costly than formerly, and If retrench-
ment is to be applied in the State
Police 1t must be done along this
line. One case came to our notice of
a deal in Clark county-the search
for the Indian Quiho-that lasted

shortage of over $4,000 in the Gov
eminent funds=money paid for the
support of the Agricultural College
caused by the wrongful diversion of
money to other school purposes.
That the president was aware of the
seriousness of the situation is shown
by the effort made to W up the
shortage by double vouchers for
salaries and supplies. This amount
had to be covered by state funds,
and money that had been appropriate
ed in good faith for the support of
the university had to be diverted to
replenish the depleted government
funds.
While there was not evidently
anything of a criminal nature in the
shortage of government funds the
amazing offer of the president leads
to the conclusion that a great bust
ness wrong was committed. =
The record shows many additional
Instances of c~arelessness on the part
of the regents in performing their
duties in a perfunctory manner, and
of letting the president usurp their
functions.
One of the most glazing injustiees
was the imposition on the students
supporting the dining-hall, which
was under the supervision of the
president, of a large number of dead
heads, employees of the university,
who could we'll afford to pay. The
dining hall was conducted at a loss,
and this undoubtedly accounts for
some of the diversion of funds.
DIR. Stubs is now enjoying a sab
batical leave of absence of one year
at full pay, $4,000 per year. His
value to the University from an ed
ucational standpoint. during the
years of his connection with the in
~stitution cannot be overestimated.
1t is true that he has given the best
years of his life to the work, and has
in many cases added to the endow-
ments through his personal efforts.
His leave will expire in August of
this year and we feel that the
Board of Regents should adopt and
serve him with notice of such re-
strictions relative to his business ad-
ministration of the university as will
prevent a recurrence of the unfor-
tunate occurrence of the past,

The ~Joseph's Case.


Pursuant to Assembly resolu-
ton this committee investigated
the charge that Joe Josephs was not
a citizen. We called on the
author of the letters. Miss
Somers, to furnish proof of her al
legation. which she did through her
brother-in-law, d. P. Morgan, who
appeared before the committee.
The letters showed that Josephs
was born in Berlin, though he always
registered as having been born in
Albany, n. Y. Josephs was called
and produced papers showing that he
had been naturalized at Stockton.
California in October %, 1871. A
copy of the minutes of the court
was afterward secured showing that
the papers were genuine. Josephs
defended himself by saying that he
was lead to declare his American
birth through pride and hesitated to
correct the error after the matter
had run so long.
However, your committee is COM
PEELED to report more severely on
another matter-that of accepting a
division of salary from a deputy. 1t
has been a hard matter for the COM
mittee to fathom the rumors that
have been current but finally sue
eeeded. The testimony shows that
Josephs demanded and afterward re-
ceived for several months during the
years 1911-1912 the sum of $500
per month to his own use or for his
benefit from Guy Guinan, his regu-
larly appointed deputy all of which
is in violation of section 6313 of the
Revised Laws.
The deputy at present employed
by Josephs is paying 10000 a month
for assistance. Until the first of this
year the wife of the clerk was the
assistant. We commend the record
in this case to your consideration
as the entire transcript reveals pitt
full incompetence and a labored ef-
fort to show that things are as they
should be. 1t is apparent that the
deputy in the Office of Clerk of the
Supreme Court, is wholly ineompe-
tent, a matter for which Josephs is
alone responsible.
We recommend that this report
be referred to the Judiciary commit
tee of the Assembly for such action
as is provided in cases of this charac-
ter.

State Institutions.

DR.. GOODWIN A FARMER.
Says Provence Soil is as Good as
Valuable California Fruit Lands.

DR.. George e. Goodwin of this city
has found a piece 0T land that just
pleases his fancy. 1t is located one
mile north of Provence in the black
jack prairies that are known to pro
duce several tons of roots and stumps
to the acre. And the worst part Of
it these roots and stumps cannot be
made to yield a dividend, but on the
other hand require a great deal Of
hard, patient work to be ousted from
their moorings But DR.. Goodwin was
looking at the quality Of the soil
and not at the underbrush beneath
the surface when he made the pur-
chase and he has several men en-
ployed and some good teams and IS
busily engaged in putting the land
in shape. The soil is very fine and
when it is once in a state of Gultiva-
tion it will not have superior in
the county. Ten acres this year are
devoted to Irish potatoes. ten acres
have been sown to alfalfa, 50 acres
vii be planted to cotton and the
balance of the eighty.acre tract will
be devoted to corn and sweet pota-
toes. Next fall the owner will put
peaches and pears upon forty acres
of the land and will make it fruit

CHARGES AGAINST

IMPROPERLY BEFORE OFFICE

Washington, d. c., April 4.-Charg-
es involving the moral conduct of Il
democratic senator from a western
state have been presented to United
States Attorney Wilson. He is max

A man, seeking a federal office,
charges that his wife, acting in his
behalf, visited the senator and that
the latter acted improperly. Later
he repeated this conduct by calling
on the woman at a hotel where her
husband asserts he had posted Wit
nesses. The senator says it is black
mail, instigated by political enemies.
