management OF the state tubercular
hospital at Kearney is absolved from
any blame in connection with recent.

L. c. Oberlies, who conducted a

lowing statement:
"The recent investigation at the
hospital for tuberculous at Kearney
was clarifying and satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
Good Food Purchased.
"The evidence brought out clearly
that good food is purchased for the
patients. Its preparation is ordin-
arily satisfactory and palatable. At
times there hve been mixtures or
food which have not been appetizing
10 certain patients, although the vari-
Gus clements might be very nutrl-
tious.
"The board feels that a. dietition
and natron should be employed,
whose duties it would be to prepare
menus, varying the food served, see
to its nutritious qualities and palat-
ability, study calories and food values
and furthermore TO have control OF
the kitchen employees, mattresses,
etc, so that the service would be Of
the very best.
"Dr. Sidwell was exonerated Of
any blame and it was clearly brought
out that his treatment of ex-soldiers
is courteous and kind. The prema-
ture newspaper reports were re-
GREETED by all organizations con-
cerned in the hearing.
Discussion Satisfactory.
Before testifying, each patient
was assured that his free and frank
testimony would not, i'll any sense,
his treatment or good care.
All parties concerned in the hearing
feel that it had a satisfactory termin-
alton. that yood will result from the
frank and free and informal discus
sion.

Governor Seeks
Suggestions on
Special Session
Four Subjects Are Suggested
! By Mckelvie in Letter to
Members Of State
Legislature.

Lincoln, Dec. 25.-(Special. J.
Governor S. r. McKelvie today
gave out copies OF letter which ht
sent to members of the legislature
requesting them to present theii
views on business to be transacted
at the special session of the legisla.
ture. for which he will shortly is.
sue call.
In his letter the governor out
lines four problems which he be-
lieves should be considered at the
special session. He saws that addi-
tional questions may be considered
but it is important that too many
problems be not considered.
Suggests -Four Problems.
The four things which the gov
ernor has in mind to include in his
caH are the gasoline tax, reduction
OF appropriations through cuts in
salaries of state officials and em-
ployes. amendments to the guaranty
law and a reappropriation of . the
fl:',:,s for the new capitol.
The governor says that he had
planned to ca!l the special session
shout February /, but would be will.
ing to have it come January 1S or
Is.
The letter follows:
Raise Road Funds.
! Il have decided to cali a special
session OF the legislature, and | am
seeking your opinion regarding the
subjects that should be included in
the call. The primary purpose OF
this session will be to raise the
money for road construction through
tax on gasoline, instead of on real
property principally farm land). as
is done. at the present time. The
decline in the prices of agricultural
products makes the burden of taxa
ton on farm lands doubIy hard to
bear and any relief that we can
bring in this quarter will be of gen.
ulne service to the state.
Second: Through the. operation
OF the budget during the first six
months OF this bienniunl. we shall
be able to anticipate certain consid-
cradle savings that can be made dur
ing the balance OF the biennium in
the salary. maintenance and construc-
tlon appropriations OF the last regu-
