DANCING TONIGHT
QUICK ACTION NEEDED
Mulroy Is Given Until June 30 to
Collect His $500.

If Miles Mulroy is to collect from
the hotels the $500 due him for salary
and expenses, he must act quickly. In
a ruling today, w. E. Davis, state au-
ditor, held that Mulroy would be en-
titled only to such fees as are received
before June 80. After that time, he
must look to the legislature for relief.
When Governor Capper removed
Mulroy from the office of state hotel
inspector a few days ago, the Ellis
county Democrat was required to quit
with a balance on the wrong side of
the slate. There is due the inspector
and his deputies about $500 in salaries
and expenses. To protect this claim,
Mulroy asked that fees collected by
the state be turned over to him as
payment or the account. Auditor Da-
Wis today ruled that Mulroy could re-
ceive fees only until the end of the fis-
cal year, June 80. If the money is not
collected by that time, Mulroy must
look to the legislature for relief
through the passage of deficiency
