It was learned by telegrams rocslvcd In tlio city this afternoon that Akin was tinablo lo secure hall at Kl I'nso , and that ho I * still In Jail at that place awaiting the reiUlsltlon ] papers , which iM-ro forwarded by mall last night.

Thtiy claim that other parlies had arranged to go to Mexico in the interests of the state In an endeavor to imltico Hut ; nt t Scott lo return to Holt county voluntarily , or to secure from him the amount duo tlio slate. At tlio lust mo ment tin- parties who had nercod to go upon the mission , found that they could not leave. Then It was suggested that Akin , who was one of Scott's bondsmen , and nlso his brother-in-law , was Iho right party lo go. Ho was accordingly called from his ranch near Omaha and induced lo visit Mexico. Hlneo hu went away the charges against him wore trumped up. This is Ihu state ment made li\ his friends here. The form.il charges against Akin were Jllod uoforo Iho county Judge of Holt county on tho-1st lust. The complaint alleges that Barroll Scoll was the troniturur of Holt county and was entrusted with Iho county funds ; thai he runvurtcd to his own use and cmhcz/lod SiUIHMt , and that ho was unlaw fully , purposely and feloniously aided and nbnttcd bi Akin. tlownrt Will Coiitu'il.

CtMiiAL SCHOOL INSPIiCTL Defects .n Constinctibn of the Building Ormso Considerable Gossip. VIEWS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Col mi i-l Akin Sit } * 'tlmt tlio Itnlldlnj Will Mot llu Accepted ihilrfti In Kntli- Inetory Condition Cnntoii- tlon Ov'er'n Tumi. There Is a decided difference of opinion among the members of the Board of lOduca- lion as to the merits and defects of llio now Ccnlral school building. Saturday afternoon the members of the board were expected to Inspect the building , the committee on buildings and property having extended an Invitation for ihem lode do so. Up to 0 o'clock Saturday night , how ever , only President Powell nnct Mr. Pier- son had been lo lake a look at the building , although It appears from later developments that a number of other members have , at divers other times , made inspection of the structure. Part nf the controversy hltiRos on the dis position of Iho balance left tn the fund pro vided for Iho purchase of the site , amountIng - Ing to about $3,000. Dr. Duryea proposes that It ho devoted to the purchase of furni ture , whllo other members insist that It is unnecessary to do anything of Iho kind with it , ns ll has all llio furniture needed for the present and all furulturo should bo purchased - chased from the general fund. S.iid Mr. Morrison yesterday. .Mr. Aiorrlftim'M Vlcwg. "This lulk of buying furulturo with the balance lofl in the silo fund Is nonsense. What furniture Is needed can and should bo purchased out of the general fund , Besides , this mo'iey cannot bo used for such a pur pose without being couverted lulo ihu proper fund , and It has already boon converted Into llio fund for completing tlio building. Vari ous sums were needed for doing pieces of work not called for in tlio building contracts and when these nro p.tld there will remain about $1,000 of the balauco , which should bo used , and will ho if I have my way in llio matter , In the construclton of a wall to pre vent the soil from thu embankments of the bcliool grounds from washing down on to adjoining property. "As to the defects in the building they are not work mentioning. Those that exist are only such as are likely to happen in tlio construction of tiny large building , and can bo easily remedied before final payments are made to tlio contractors. " I'reslilont Powell Tnll . President Powell said : " 1 do not see how any one can find fault with lhoCentr.il build- lug. I think It ono of lho bcst structures of its kind that 1 over saw , nnd consider it ad mirably planned nnd built. As to the al leged glaring defects that are claimed lo exist there are none that are worth quib bling about , and none that cannot and will not bu remedied in a very short time. People ple are only too roadv lo make mountains out of molehills where the Board of Educa tion is concerned. " "It is ouo of the host buildings that I over saw. " said Superlntelfdont Fitzpatrlok , "and I am surprised lo sou that so many sensible persons take stock in'lho statements thai have been circulated' lo the effect thai it is unhealthy , unsafe arfd that Us fittings are all defective. Aparttfrom * the fact that some of the doors hdyq nol yet become thor oughly fitted In place , and that the black boards are not all set just right , tliero is nothing lo object to , nnd these little matters can be easily adjusted. As to the defects in tlio building itself , thVro nro none lhat can not be found in almost any now structure of thai sizo. The buildbiR. , as every one should ' ' know , lias not yot'bo'accepted , and is not likely to boj UUt.iscQjiipIotcd to thosatis- faclion of Iho boardT If there is any corn- plaint 10 make , it should bo directed tn tlio condition of the heating apparatus in this and other buildings.1' Mny Not lie Acceptml. ' The building has not been accepted , and will not be until it is in a satisfactory condi tion , " said Colonel Akin. "Then , and not until then , will be Iho lime lo enter com plaints , if anyone considers there is just causa for them , us there is not likely lo bo. " Several persons hnvo been beard lo ex press the statement that Iho occupancy of Iho building Is virtually an acceptance of it by the board. "Under ordinary circum stances this might bo true , but in tlio pres ent instance it is not , " said a member of thu board. "The contractors , by special ugroo- permit thu board lo tnko possession ami oc cupy the building at the opening of the school year , stipulating that they would not by reason of such occupancy consider their work accepted , nor until its formal accep tance by the board. Dufocts I'lnluly Visible. Inspection of the building shows that there are certainly a number of ilofocts in ils construction , notably Iho sinking of the iloor of the basement in the girls1 closet , the iloor having become depressed several inches by the sollling of the made ground under neath. This has caused the floor drain to become practically useless lor the Hmo being , but it Is claimed that this can bo easily remedied by thu extension of the drain lo a point below the level of the lowest part of Iho depression , which I.s said to bo In Iho southeast comer. The sinking of the floor has loft the supports of the closets standing in a lonely position about three Inches up In the air. and It would appear that they can not long stand that way. Mr. Pierian said ho had inspected the building , but did not care to express himself concerning it just at present.

As stated in TUB Run about n fortnight ago , there has been some dissatisfaction ex pressed by I'ltlrcns residing near the Sara toga school on account of the fact that there was no eighth grade provided for their older children , who are obliged to attend tlio Lothrop school instead. That there Is no eighth grade al the Saratoga Is duo to Iho fact that there Is a minimum number fifteen for which th.it grade can be estab lished , and thero' are only about twelve oighth-grnilo pupils In the Saratoga district. i'heltiw provides , however , that in a case of thl * kind the board shall provide ir.ins- portatlou to and from school for the children concerned , and this will be done either tiy engaclng a wagon for their use for llio school year or by furnishing them with half-faro street car tlekols , which call bo had of Iho soot-clary of the board. a.tri : nihM AO .s/uir. llii\\ thuoiilillln lliirlliiKton 'Irnln ItoD- 110l-i \\nrn limit U'ltll.
