I used any state money for private
purposes.

he disposed of his business, he enlist

This was all contained in the cor

the real reason why Dan V. Brennan
went out to Washington, Idaho, Mon

conference held at Helena, Montana,

SNYDER NOT ALLOWED TO>PEN-
ETRATE DRAKE MILLS
MYSTERY
Accorded Royal Reception Until the
Steno Discovered That Governor
Failed to Endorse Investigation

John R. Snyder, special account
ant in the Office of State Auditor Carl
'Kositzky was practically ordered out
of the state flour mill at Drake, where
he had been sent by the state auditor
to make thorough examination of its
affairs. Mr., Kositzky under the law
is directed to make periodical exam
nations Of all state agencies where
public money is used or where state
property is involved. He has receiv-
ed lately several weird reports of the
administration at the Drake mill and
decided Tuesday to send one of his
deputies to make a searching exami-
nation.
Within the last two weeks the mill
has acquired brand new manager.
He received Mr.. Snyder cordially un-
der the impression that Mr.. Snyder
was one of the deputies of j. A. Nc
Govern, Townley state mill and eleva-
tor expert" Mr.. Snyder went
through the toy mill hoping any mo,
ment to locate the $4,000 worth of
sacks reported on hand by special
appraisers Feb. "a, 1920. After wit
Messing small supply of flour on
hand, the manager rushed Snyder to
the office and no sacks were locates
Delegates, however, from the Mlnos
convention stopping at Drake for dim
ner last Friday, saw the $4,000 pile
of sacks. A Ford truck could ac-
commodate them without crowding
Discovered
Snyder was getting his pencils out
ready to delve into the mills records
when LYNX eyed lady, who jabs the
typewriter in the state flour factory
looked up and said:
''What department did you say you
were from, Mister Snyder
''Why from the state auditors -
"Well, we got orders here not to al.
low any of those state auditor fellows
around here. We were told to show
them the door,"
Sidesteps Deputy
About this time the new manager
began to breathe hard. His affabil-
itv turned to coldness. stepping
about he began to size Snyder up.
"No, oh no, positively no." he SEEM
ed to chatter.
Snyder saw that he had about as
much chance to examine the Drake
mill books as he would the secret
archives of the National Nonpartisan
league at St. Paul or Cathro's private
entries in the Bank of North Dakota
League Enterprise Favored
But Snyder did learn that the chain
of United Consumers stores, organ
ized by Job Brinton under league aus
pices. got am the flour they need on
consignment, making weekly settle
ments for what they sell.
Until recently all but United Con-
sumers stores were compelled to pay
cash for state flour.
This is the, third barrier Mr.. Ko-
sitzkv has encountered in seeking to
ascertain how TIE tayraver's monev
is being spent. The Bank Of North
Dakota r~eventod an examination.
