LINCOLN, Sept. 24.-(Specanl.) -George
Weidenfeld OF the board of commissioners
of state institutions is working out a
system of accounting with respect to the
several institutions over which the board
has charge, which it is hoped may be
tho basis for future expenditures.
Briefly. the plan places all expenditures
that can possibly be made for any of the
institutions under four main heads; Main
tenance, permanent improvements to
buildings and grounds, new buildings,
furniture and equipment. These in turn
are subdivided into lesser heads that will
show with greater accuracy and yet some-
what generalized the specific natuer OF
every expenditure.
Before, however, tn abov plan can be
made effective. Georg widenfld holds
that the present method of making APP
preparations will necessarily have to be
modified.
At present each institution is allowed
specific sum for many varied purposes.
Anti-suffrage Meeting.
Declaring that state wheree women did
not vote had laws which protected the
, female wage Garner better then the states
which had equal suffrage. Miss Lucy
Price Of Cleveland. o., speaking in OPP
position TO woman suffrage, addressed a
large audience last night which filled the
large convention hall at the Lndell hotel.
Mrs J. w. Crumpaeker Of Omaha was
the first speaker. both women being in
troduced by Colonel John G. Maher.
Miss Price said generally thee claim
was made that If woman voted 1t would
mean prohibition. but she denied that the
cause had been helped in states where
| woman voted. She said that nine states
were prohibition, but every one of them
were made so by the votes of men. There
are ten suffrag states and not one of
| them except Kansas has prohibition and
that was made dry by the men long be-
fore the right was given to women to
vote.
The Omaha Electric Light and Power

manently injured while working for the
