Head Matter:
The State ex rel. Gustavus A. Doren v. John F. Oglevee, Auditor of State.
Application for a mandamus to compel the Auditor of State to issue a warrant on the state treasurer for $3,000, in favor of the institution for feeble-minded youth, on an order drawn by said Doren as its superintendent and financial officer, and approved by a majority of its trustees.
W. J. Gilmore for the relator.
G. K. Nash, attorney general, for the auditor of state.

Opinion:
By the Court.
The provisions of the first, second and third chapters of the fifth title of the Revised Statutes, aj>ply to the institution for feeble-minded youth; these provisions require the appointment of a financial officer as well as a superintendent; and the same person cannot perform the duties of both offices in drawing money from the treasury under section 654.
Application overruled.
