LINCOLN , Feb. 23-Speclal.-Tie ( ) ) house commlleo on claIms was In executive sessIon thIs afternoon with State Auelor Ioore. The entire time was lovotel to an examination 01 bills , mostly those ( fell by parties or whom . Alien had purchased ex.Secrelnry ot State Alen hnl purchnsel legislative 5UIphICS. ' Some 01 these bills are enormous , especially the ones flell hy the Jtalo Journal ompnny. O,1e conPlllcu u' item , Is $ & 03 for lead pencils. AI 50 cents a d zen 'I this would give tic legislature 12,000 Ilencls for Use during a session 01 sixty working days. But some or the commitee on claIms sa ) that all 1IIs fed for legislative supplies are enormous , and , like lie Invoice 01 $ G.O chairs , are out 01 nil proportion to current 4 retail prices for similar ! oolls. When It Is : remembered that ( the bulk < 01 these legislative 4 supplies are supposed to hl\'e been furnished at wholesale prices , ns theY were bought In wholesale lots , the outrage on NebrAska tax- ayers ,1 be better appreciated. Auditor to give the Moore Is In an excellent position committee on claims considerable light on the matter. The contractors for the ' e supplies are now on the anxious sent , DS I Is under- Itooel ( thnt there will be n liberal scaling down or Ilrls charged for the supplies. This latter action wi be rIght In line with the statement 01 ex-Secretnry Alien before he left on his western trip. To n reporter for The Bee lie said : "I have malIc no contracts for legislative supplies. A contract implies a price agreed upon between seiler and purchaser. 1 have seler ordered a few supplies for the legislature. and toll the parties from whol 1 ordered 10 senel their bi ! direct to the committee on , . cluhns.

SOME DEI.lEIATE EXTRAVAGANCE. ; ' In this connection there Is n good story about the extravagance er the house In purchasing - I chasIng flies for holding the bills In the : two fes : The house roll tiles provided this session cost $2.76 apiece In a large JobbIng lot They can be bought at retail In almost every large stationery store for less than hal that sum. But no files have yet been furnIshed the house for USe In tem- porarily bindIng the senate fIles sent In to the house immediately after passage. In consequence or this , for nearly n week no bills passed by the senate could be acted upon passel house because the members did not have copIes or he t bills before them to act upon Intelgenly , The matter was brought up about ten days ago , and some or the members objected to paying ! such eX- travngnnt prIces for pasteboard bInders for Bennie flies. Howard or Sarli said ho could fes. give the names of n dozen houses that would r sell suitable binders for GO cents nplece. On Eel motion he was appointed a committee or one on the mater or files. "Time wore along " but for some mysterious reason no tIles ap- peared. and on Thursday last he was called upon to report howard Isld that he had , on hIs appointment , Immediately given the clerk or the , house the names of parties from whom the files could be Purchased for 50 fcs cents nplece. But no acton had been tnken. ' , On the contrary , a dlsposilon had been manifested to Ignore his economic suggcs- tions. The upshot or the mater was that the house voted to Instruct tie clerk to procure the flies at $ 2.75 apIece. Members say that ' , b thIs Is the reason why no cheap files were * purchased , and why the members have been obliged to await action on important busi- oblgee or the house to afford some supply house nn exorbitant price for gools. CASE - AGAINST lLTON , - , - Friday morning an Omaha paper aild that a petttion ! had been fed In the district court by the state against the bondsmen or ex-Ol Inspector Hfltcn. hut II was not true.
