HOWARD SAYS MILEAGE
BOOK SCARE IS BASELESS
(From a Staff Correspondent.) , ,
LINCOLN, Dec.'.. (Special.) Consider
able Interest was stirred up around the
state house this morning by a statement
published In a morning paper that the
state auditor's office had purchased more
mileage books than It had used and that
there was no showing made for them.
The charge was made that theee books
had been purchased by the county treas
urer examiners for their use and the In
timation made that they had not been
used for state purposes.
Relative to the matter. State Auditor
Howard said this afternoon:
Replying to the Journal article of toda
will say that the county treasurer exam
iners purchased this mileage for tlu
office. We have not had time to checa
up the Journal story as to amounts, but
presume it is somewhere near correct.
I have on hand two unuaued l.OOO-mllt
books and three partially used 1,000-mllB
books, all of which will be turned over
to my successor.
We are very busy making out our bien
nial report, which must be In the hand
of the legislature when. It convenes, con.
talnlng over 600 pages, and half the copy
could not be prepared until after Novem
ber 30, hence only half now In bands of
printer. The time can hardly be spared
now to check this story-
We had a third man on examination
work about one-half time and have ex
amined each 'county treasurer twice (ex
cept two) and some of them three times.
This accounts for the grand total being
much larger.

Colorado Mine Inspector Without
Funds Necessary to Enforce Law
DENVER, Colo., ee. 1 Because his de
partment Itself has not compiled with
the law, he did not feel like proceeding
against mine foremen and fire bosses for
negligence and other offenses against the
Colorado mining code, said James Dal
rymple, chief state i Inapectorl of coal
mines, at the second day's hearing Jn the
investigation of the coal miners' strike
before the industrial relations commis
sion. The Inspector explained that, according
to the law, mine foremen and other execu
tives should be certified men. They were
not, because do examinations had , been
held. This was because there were no
funds to defray expenses. The depart
ment, therefore, has not required that
foremen, fire bossea and other officers
of mining companies be certified.
In the past. Dalrymple said, tha duty
of enforcing the law waa laid on the mine
operators. Now it Is laid on tha state, but
there has been no Increase of the working
force as a result. .
At the opening of the hearing, George
A. Cartoon, governor-elect, took tha stand,
but said he had nothing to add to his tes
timony of yesterday. He was excused
immediately.

About Contraband
WASHINGTON. Dee. 8.-4Jlr Cecil
Spring-Rice, tbo British ambassador, de
livered to the State dopartmont today a
note giving assurances that Great Britain
does not Intend to delay American ship
unduly In searching them for contra
brand. Sir Cecil told Secretary Bryan and
Counsellor Lansing that meats, cotton
and other noncontraband products, light
in weight, were often- shipped In vessels
which require heavier and contraband
articles such as copper or metals for
ballast, and the latter usually being
i, to red In the holds of a vessel, n
sarily prolonged tha search, i
The British ambassador pointed eat
that every effort would be made to
prevent undue delay. Sir Cacti said that
an amicable adjustment probably would
be reached, especially If American ship
pers . made It plain on their manifests
that nonpar and other contraband good
shipped with cargoes of meat and food
were not destined for . trans-shipment
through neutral countries to Germany or
Austria.
While at the Stat department ' tha
British ambassador discussed In a gen
eral way the English wool embargo. Ha
had no definite advices as to tha eonoju
alons of his government on tha subject
but felt sure that an arrangement soon
would be made, whereby American mer
chants could, through special permits
obtain Australian , wool on guarantees
that the products would not be
ported to enemies of Great Britain.
