TO ASK ALLEN TO WITHDRAW Hitchcock's ' Friends Want the Judge to Get Out of the Way. BARRY MAY PRESENT THE REQUEST nnd TclcKrnmn Cnntlnne to J'lie l'i ' > In ( lip Gnvcrnnr'H Ofllcc Ilcliillne in the Vncunt Sciiutornhln. LINCOLN , Dec. 9. ( Special. ) A few politicians remained In tbe city today to talk over the senatorial situation , but the absence of Governor Poynlcr prevented any very hard work being done for cither can didate. Senator Halo of Madison arrived this morning and will probably remain until Governor Poynter returns , .u lion ho will ap pear before him In Allen's behalf. He will present the claims of Allen's friends both orally and in writing. Numerous petitions were received at the governor's ofllco today and nil were placed on file to await ' consideration by Governor Poynter after 'he returns. Telegrams poured In from all over the country and every mall brought a huge pile of letters relating to tbo senatorial vacancy. It was rumored here today that the sup porters of Hitchcock would ask Governor Poynter to request William V. Allen to withdraw from the race. Adjutant General Barry , who has been with the governor al most constantly since the senatorial vacancy occurred , will visit Madlaon Monday and If Mr. Allen Is at home will probably consult with him concerning his candidacy for the appointment. General Barry left the city this morning nnd it Is possible that he may secure an Interview with Judge Allen to morrow. Nclirnnkn'H Dclit. The records of the state treasurer's office show that the debt of tbe state of Nebraska Is approximately $1,755,000. Tbe outstanding registered warrants amount to $1,674,642.03 , tbo unregistered warrants to about $25,000 and tbe state bonds to $55,000.Tbo unpaid taxes amount to over $2,800,000. There has been but very little change in the tatus of the four educational funds during the past few months. The return from the Investment of the permanent school fund were slightly lees during tbo last six months than for the corresponding period last year and consequently the apportion ment for tbe schools fell below last year's about $8,000. , All of the state bonds remaining unpaid , amounting to only $55,000 , are held by tbo permanent school fund. The Issuance of theno bonds was one of the results of a transfer of state money from one fund to another. Between 1898 and 1871 the state Invested $71,000 in United States government bonds for the permanent school fund. A few years later these bonds were sold for $80,460 , which , with money received from other sources , was transferred to the general fund. The total amount of the transfer was $158,837,87. A transfer cer tificate for this amount was Issued and turned back as security Into the permanent school fund. Between 1874 and 1S7C general fund warrants to the amount of $184,119.67 were paid out of the permanent school fund nnd another transfer certificate was made out by the state treasurer as security to be held by the school fund. During the same period the first state re funding bonds were Issued and tbe two certificates were taken up , State bonds ti tbo amount of $425,267,35 were lesued In the name of the permanent school fund and the difference between the certificates and the bonds was paid in cash out of the per manent school fund. Since that tlmn all hut band , Clarence King , from removing his body from the receiving vault at Wyuka cemetery to Illinois. TO DUILD NEW HAHAVAY TOWNS.
