tINCi\OLN. Jan. 22. ( Special. ) The retwrt
of the Vondltlon of the cash fund of the
Hospital ) < for the Insane at Lincoln was filed
with tho-'Investigating committee today , the
expert ( l Fred Jewell , bavjng completed the
wnfffk In a marveloualy short time , compared
with tbo tlrno spent In looking through the
books of lastltutlrms that have been entirely
tinder the control of republican officials.
It will bo noticed from the report that the
accountant was Instructed to oxamlno _ only
the cash fund and that no Investigation was
made of the manner In which the appropria
tions have been handled , although this de
partment has been considered the most Im-
iwrtant In the Investigation of the other In
stitutions. It will bo noticed also that the
"unauthorized expcndlturc-s" are here ro-
Kardecl as of very little Importance , although
In other caecs the recommendation lias al
ways been made tliat ilie amounts be col
lected from the officials who mido the ex-
jxnidlturcs , oven though It was shown that
"tho utati * has received the benefit of the ex
penditure. " The small scope of the exami
nation acid the absolute change or fiont re
garding "unauthorized expenditures" may he
tluo to the fact Hi At during almost one-half
of tlio period covered by the examination the
Institution IMS been under papocratlc control.

by having ticen referred to In the opinions
of Attorney Generals Churchill and Smyth ,
as well as alllrmed In several supreme court
decisions In this state , that I consider fur
ther citations unnecessary'and therefore
find that nil moneys disbursed from the. cash
fund of wild Institution are unlawful
expenditures , which are divided Into two
rlasseH. viz : Those receipted for iiy tnc par
ties who furnished the goods or rendpied
the service , to the. . Institution and those for
which no receipts are found on file. He-
Kardlng the former class wo may si.itc that
while the funds have been u ed without
authority of law , yet the receipts on file at
the Institution show that the state has re
ceived the benefit of the expenditure : hence
wo do not recommend Its recovery , but re
garding the latter class wu would recon.-
ir.end that the Miperintcndents and steward *

a little over 2 per cent of the entire ex
