HOWELL ACTS AS
PURCHASING AGENT
IS CONTENTION OF CHAIRMAN
MAYFIELD OF THE STATE
BOARD OF CONTROL
Has No Contract With State Sena
tor for Furnishing of Coal,
Declares Chairman
Lincoln, Oct. 18. Gene Mayfield,
chairman of the state board of con
trol in charge of state institutions
replied today to published criticism
n republican papers because the
board of control authorized the E.
E. Howell Coal Co., of Omaha, to
furnish the fuel for nine of the fif
teen institutions.
The board secured an agreement
from Howell to furnish coal to the
state on the basis of 5 cents per ton
profit. ' The next lowest bid called
for about 10 cents per ton profit,
members of the board of control de
clared. 'The board considered itself
especially fortunate in securing the
agreemnet, Mr. Mayfield declared.
Republican papers have raised a
kick on the ground that Howell, the
senior member of the firm, is also a
state senator. It is claimed that the
constitution expressly forbids a state
officer from entering into a contract
with the state.
"There is no contract in that sense
of the word." Mr. Mayfield declared.
"Mr. Howell merely acts as purchas
ing agent for the state. Our position
is supported by an opinion from At
torney General Reed."
"I imagine the people of the state
are much more interested in saving
5 cents a ton on 25,000 tons of coal,
which will be needed to supply the
nine institutions, than the attempt
of the press to throw a partisan
light on the arrangement."
U-BOATS CAN'T WIN WAR,
SAYS REICHSTAG SOCIALIST
Copenhagen, Oct. 18. At the con
rcntion of . German Socialists at
Wurzburg, Dr. Edward David, reich
stag member, declared the war could
not be ended by submarines. Ger
many had not. been spared a fourth
war winter through the operation of
the U-boat, he said, and would not
be able to force peace upon England
in a few months, as the pan-Germans
claimed, or even in one or two
years.
At yesterday's session Hermann.
Mueller, of the executive committee,
said: "Alsace-Lorraine under no cir
cumstances could be made a subject
of discussion in the peace negotia
tions and that these provinces could
be wrested only from a completely
defeated Germany."
The conference by a vote of 284
to 2G rejected a motion binding the
party to vote against war credits in
the reichstag.
A resolution was submitted, sign
ed by 11S delegates, demanding the
restoration of Belgium and protest
ing against division of Alsace-Lor
raine.
