Department of Charities.
In its report on the department of
charities and corrections, the commit-
tee Incorporates bodily and adopts the
report of the John H. Wright branch
of the “efficiency'' committee, which
severely censured this department for
large expenditures in traveling, es-
pecially outside of tde state, and
recommends in addition that the de-
parement he conoslidated with that
of the state labor commissioner and
mine inspector.
In reference to the following items
for travel outside of the state between
July 1, 1911, and December 1, 1912,
“Kate Barnard $163.50; H. Husou,
$605.54, and J. H. Stolper, $619.09,”
the committee say's: “In the opinion
of this committee this expenditure was
absolutely without authority of law
and a wanton dissipation of tne funds
appropriated for the maintenance of
this department.
The committee finds that Miss Bar-
nard lobbied through the third legis-
lature a bill j-aising her salary from
$1,500 to $2,500, which the committee
believes was in "direct violation of
the constitution” prohibiting changes
in official emoluments during term of
office. The attorney general is dl-
p- .ced to bring suit to recover the
$1,000 per annum raise.
School Land Office.
The committee says of the school
land office:
“The committee is glad to say that
this great department of our state
government has handled the millions
of dollars under its control with effici-
ency; that its books are systematically
and accurately kept; ' and accounts
for the vast sura in its hands very
readily. We believe that there is an
excess of employes and officers in
this department; we believe that the
money it handles should be converted
into the state treasury by act of the
legislature, and we believe the vast
sum it keeps on deposit in the vari-
ous banks of the state, $1,840,865.03
by the last statement, is capable of
earning at least 5 per cent per annum
instead of 3 per cent paid by the
banks.
The committee recommends the dis-
missal of Mr. Lunsford on the grounds
that he spends only a few days a
month in the actual service of the
state, in addition to the findings iri
the Marland lease probe, and advo-
cates the employment of some man
who will give his entire time to the
work, “as it is our belief that a com-
petent oil and gas agent can be se-
cured at $200 per month, the amount
paid Mr. Lunsford, who will give his
entire time to the work."
Praise for Dunlop. *
The committee credits State Treas-
urer Dunlop with collecting $5,431.02
in interest from the state's fiscal
agency in New York City, when prior
to his term, so far as the records
show, the state has never obtained
any revenue from this fource, and
after traversing his office in a general
way, winds up wUh the following
praise: %
“We find that the state treasurer
has honestly and efficiently conducted
the affairs of his office.
In its report on the state treasurer’s
office, the committee goes into the
proposed refunding bond issue to take
pp outstanding warrants amounting
approximately to $3,000,000 and recom-
mends the issuance of the bonds, even
at 4V2 per cent interest.
While each of the two officials are
highly commended for efficient and
honest management of their offices,
the committee shies a little at the ex-
penditure of certain attorney fees by
State Labor Commissioner Daugh-
erty and at the recent purchase of
$500 of stamps by Secretarv of State
Ben Harrison, from tlue balance of
his contingent fund.
Relative to State Auditor.
Of the state auditor’s office the com-
mittee says: “We do not go into the
details of the administration of this
office, for the reason that Leo Meyer
recently resigned, pending impeach-
ment proceedings, and was succeeded
by J. C. McClelland, the present in-
cumbent, and in the opinion of the
committee it would not be of any
material benefit to the people of the
state or the management of the affaifs
of this office to go into a history of
the facts In connection with said
office, wh!<ih resulted in the resigna-
tion of Mr. Meyer.
“Mr. McClelland appears to be a
very competent man and sincerely In
earnest in an endeavor to put the
state auditor’s office on a strictly busi-
ness basis.”
Upon a number of departments the
committee made no report, further
than to certify thu^ no charger had
been made against their efficient and
honest management and that for lack
of time the committee did not think it
necessary to conduct any official in-
vestigation. These departments in-
clude the state fire marshal, the state
mine inspector, the adjutant general,
the examiner and inspector, the high-
way commissioner, geological survey,
state reporter, state librarian, histor-
ical society and the supreme court
and criminal court of appeals. Most
of these departments were covered by
reports of the efficiency committee.

life and death of Thomas Francis
Meagher have been recalled within
tne tast few days by gory tales from
Montana. First came the “confession”
of a Frank Diamond, or Pat Miller,
that among many crimes upon his
/onscience was the murder of Meach-
er. Upon sober second thought Mil-
ler repudiated the confession with a
vigor that led witnesses to believe
there was no truth in it. Then came
David M. Billingsley—Just when we
had concluded that Meagher's memory
might continue to rest in peace—with
the bald declaration that the histori-
ans were all in error, for Meagher
had been hanged by vigilantes and bis
body Becretly burled.
Thomas Francis Meagher was
born at Waterford, Ireland, August 3,
1823. His father had enjoyed a for-
tune, accumulated as a merchant In
the Newfoundland trade, and for sev-
eral years represented Waterford in
parliament. Thomas Francis was
sent to the Jesuit college of Clon-
gowes Wood, County Kildare, when he
was nine years old. He studied there
six years, then entered Stonyhurst
college, I,ancashire, from which he
graduated in 1843. In 1844 he began
the study of law at Dublin and soon
after appeared as a public speaker,
scattering fiery oratory for the Young
Ireland party, whose object was to ob-
tain Irish Independence for force of
arms. In 1848 he was sent to Paris
with an address to the provisional
government of Franco from the Irish
confederation and on his return pre-
sented the citizens of Dublin with an
Irish tricolor, accompanying it with a
fiery speech which led to his arrest
for sedition. The Jury failed to agree
and he was discharged. In July of
that year the confederation* created a
“war directory” of five, of which
Meagher was a member. With Wil-
liam Smith O’Brien he traveled
through Ireland for the avowed pur-
pose of starting a revolution. Meagh-

Vigorous criticism and hearty praise
for different state officials mingle in
the dozen reports of the Maxey inves-
tigating committee, Ailed with the
house of representatives soon after
reconvention.
Disapprdval in strong term3 is
meted out to the state banking de-
partment, State Game Warden John
B. Doolin and the department of char-
ities and corrections. State Treas-
urer Robert Dunlop Is highly com-
mended and Secretary of State Ben-
jamin F. Harrison pralBed for his
efficient and economical management.
Part of the system followed iu the
state land office is condemned, but
the efficiency of the department com-
mended. An Indirect compliment of
considerable value Is paid Warden
H. W. Dick of the state penitentiary,
the con'tm> tee reporting “we cannot
refrain from expressing our high ad-
miration for the physical management
of the Institution.” Labor Commis-
sioner Daugherty is commended for
efficient management of his office.
The committee reiterates Its recom-
mendation that the state dispense
with the services of Robert L. Luns-
ford, special oil and gas agent of the
school land office, and recommends
that State Game Warden Doolin be
removed by the governor.
Complaint Against Lawhead.
The complaint made against Mr.
Doolin is that he has violated the
constitution in drawing his salary as
game warden without giving personal
attention to the duties of the office,
and that he created without authority
of law the position of secretary, held
by Don Lawhead, and paid him $1,800
per annum out of the funds appro-
priated by the department.
The committee did not file reports
upon the following departments: The
governor, the attorney general, the
corporation commission, the board of
affairs and the state board of agri-
culture. All the testimony as to these
departments has been taken, but the
reports have not yet been entirely
completed.
All of the reports were presented to
th© house by Representative E. P.
Hill, vice chairman of the investigat-
ing committee, and each was signed
by the full committee as follows:
Speaker Maxey, chairman; Mr. Hill,
vice chairman; Representative C. L.
Pnkham, Representative Houston B.
Teehee, Representative W. L. Curtis,
Representative H. W. Smith, Repre-
sentative W. B. M. Mitchell and Rep-
resentative Frank McGuire.
On Bank Department.
The report of the committee on the
state banking department is a severe
criticism of the banking board and
bank e-'imnissioner during Governor
Croce'- administration and up to the
enactment of the new banking law,
but without any findings of personal
dishonesty or maladministration.
A reference to the anti-nepotism
statutes Is made, in connection with
notes upon the employment of the
hank commissioner's son by the ban's
lng board and the employment of a
daughter of one <*f the members of
the board by the commissioner, and
the employment of C. B. Stuart and
A. C. Cruce, the latter a brother of
Governor Croce, as attorneys for the
board.
The committee finds that since the
passage of the bank guaranty law in
1908 to May 1, 1913, the sum of
$1,778,849.36 has been paid by the
state banks into the guaranty fund,
and that all of this is gone, having
been used in liquidating failed banks,
and that In addition on May 1 there

having made the ascent five years
ago, which has been denied by the
Peary people.
Arch Deacon Struck, who is an Epis-
copal missionary at Fairbanks, landed
at the summit of the highest peak in
the Western hemisphere June 7 and
one of his party has just returned

northwest side of the mountain, over
exactly the path claimed by Dr. Cook.
A big part of the Cook-P«iary con-
troversy was devoted to a cuicuBsion
of the Mt. McKinley claims of Dr.
Cook. Hrschel Parker, an eastern
tenderfoot who started with Cook and
Mr. Mcllhenny, of Louisiana, who suc-

The use of profanity, If ** ':.iparts
a feeling of satlsfac*' in not con-
demned by a leading professor of Eng-
lish, H. C. Long, of the Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology.
This form of expression is artistic,
according to the profsesor, who sub-
stantiates his ideas by pointing to the
reputation of George Washington,
who, he says, was an artist in pro-
fanity.
Professor Long is quoted by the Tar
tan, the Carnegie “tech” paper, as fol-
lows:
“To become profane on trivial oc-
casions is surely to deprive this rem-
edy for human ills of its virtue by de-
grading to inferior use. Washington's
reputation as a perfect and secure art-
ist in the profane was gained on two
or three occasions only, when he felt
the frenzy of great provocation.”
ANOTHER NEGRO PAYS PENALTY
Convict Made Pets of Mice.
An Interesting story or a convict
and his two pet mice Is told In the
report of Captain Hanson, the prison
commissioner of London.
Captain Hanson said the convict,
who was Imprisoned at Parkhurst, had
two pet mice, but was ordered to an-
other prison, where ho was unable to
take his pets. Captain Hanson prom-
ised to have them cared for and him-
self went to the cell for the mice.
“Never shall I forget the parting
scene,” continued the officer. “The
man took each of the mice, calling
them by name, klsBed them, and then
put them in a little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them a piece of
bread and a piece of cheese he had
saved.”
Daughter of His Employer, Who
Fought to Preserve Her Honor
From His Bestial
Advances.
Mrs. C. Floyd Huff, was murdered,
her skull being crushed In five places
as she battled off the advances of
Will Norman, a 2T-year-old negro
servant who had been In the employ
of the household for about two years.
After the man-hunt, participated in
probably by more people than ever
scoured mountains and valleys any-
where In search of a fugitive, the ne-
gro was captured just before dusk,
four miles from the city and brought
to the city, where ho was hung to
a pole in the glare of an electric light,
his body riddled with bullets as it
swung above the heads of the crowd.
The Incidents marked the day of
greatest excitement ever known to the
history of Hot SprlngB. The terrible
assault was almost unknown at the
noon hour, although committed almost
two hours before, but half an hour
later, when the story had been told
the people by the Sentinel-Record in
extra editions, crowds began to
gather, armed In open manner, and
the woods were honeycombed with
grim-visaged men, determined to seek
out and find the brute and silently
acquiescing in a general scheme to
make short work of him when he was
found.
In a normal city the day would have
been one filled with excitement, but
in Hot Springs, where a large per-
centae of the visitors at this season
of the year are from the south, and
these having little else fo do in the
afternoon, the estimate made at one
time that 4,000 people were engaged
in the man-hunt probably would have
been sustained In actual count.
A Legal Opinion.
“A cat sits on my back fence every
night, and he yowls and yowls and
yowls. Now, I don't want to have any
trouble with Neighbor Jones, but this
thing has gone far enough, aud I want
you to tell me what to do.”
The young lawyer looked as solemn
as an old, sick owl, and said not a
word.
“1 have a right to shoot the cat,
haven't I?”
“I would hardly say that,” replied
young Coke Blackstone. “The cat does
not belong to you, as I understand it.’’
“No, but the fence does.”
“Then,” concluded the light of law,
“I think it safe to say you have a
perfect right to tear down the fence.”

went with Cook and for two years
boasted of the trip, suddenly made affi-

Dr. Cook said here this week, to the
representative of this paper, that Dar-
rell got $25,000 for the affidavit, from
friends of Peary, and that he could

sum.
Parker afterwards attempted an as-

Dr. Cook will lecture In ten cities in

of about all the crimes on the calen-
dar, from causing two suicides, down
to ordinary petit larceny, lorgery and
bribery. He stated that he would hold
himself ready to prove every state-
ment he would make, but intended
to make his lectures from now on just

WHO MADE THE OIL PRICES?
Interesting Facts Brought Out In the
Hearing at Dallas.
More men might get to the front If
they didn't stop to talk.
Dallas, Tex.—The making of oil
prices was probed by the state In the
hearing her of Its $99,000,000 oil pen-
alty case.
The state sought to show that* so
far as the Magnolia Oil company of
Texas, a defendant, Is concerned,
these prices to the Texas trade de-
pended on what the Magnolia can get
from marketing Its products putslde
of Texas with Standard Oil concerns.
A. C. Ebie, head of the Magnolia’s
sales department,, was on the stand
all day. The defense’s first oppor-
tunity came on his cross-examination,
when Eble testified he had purchased
some barrels for the Magnolia from
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey because he considered them
the best in the market and some tank
wagons from the Standard Oil of In-
diana, because they were cheapest
ai.d most suitable. He said when he
organized the Magnolia's selling de-
partment two years ago he bought to
get Standard Oil products to market
in Texas, because ha kr w there was
a demand for them.

Thomas Francis Meagher.
er was tried before a special commis-
sion at Clonmel, convicted of high
treason and condemned to death.
Banishment for life to Van Die-
men’s land was substituted for the
death penalty. Meagher was trans-
ported on .July 9, 1849, ami in 1852 he
escaped to the United States.
Immediately upon the outbreak of
the Civil war Meagher abandoned his
law office, organized a company of
zouaves, joined the Sixty-ninth New
York volunteers under Col. Michael
Corcoran, and served during the first
campaign In Virginia. At the first
Battle of Bull Run, where he was
acting major of his regiment, a horse
was shot under him. Upon the expira-
tion of his three months’ term of serv-
ice he returned to New York and or-
ganized an Irish brigade. Of Its flret
regiment he was elected colonel.
General Meagher was mustered out
of the service in 1865 and was ap-
pointel by President Johnson secre-
tary of Montana territory. He was
appointed by Gov. Sydney Edgerton to
fill the office of governor in his ab-
sence. Edgerton was away when
Meagher disappeared.
