Fowler Gets Too IMoch. Contrary to the constitution, former State Superintendent Fowler has drawn out of the state treasury $150 for services as secretary of the State Board of Educa tion, which position he rilled by virtue of Ills office as state superintendent. Had it not been for Governor Mickey, Mr. Fowler would huve been fc!00 aheud of the game, Instead of just $150. Last year the normul school came up with a deficiency and con sequently Mr. Fowler went before the state legislature with a claim for $50 for services us secretary of the board. The legislature allowed the claim, but Gov ernor Mickey vetoed it, for the reason that he held such a claim was contrary to the plain provisions of the constitution, which provides that no state officer shall receive a fee or any enfbluments except the salary attached to the office. This veto led to on investigation of the vouchers in the office of the auditor and the records show that on December 17, 1903, Mr. Fowler received a warrant for $.)0 for services as secretary of the board and on December 23, 1902, he received a warrant for $100 for services as secretary for the biennium.

State Bajik Examiner Fred Whittemore. who Is being sued by the depositors of the defunct Elkhorn Valley bank at O'Neill. Is in the city tonight and sid the first In timation he had of the suit being filed against him was the publication of the suit In the newspapers. "The whole affair," said Mr. Whittemore. "is predicated upon alleged negligent. I used the greatest earn in trying to get at the truth of the bank's condition. It Is not the province of a state bank examiner to guarantee de positors against every species of covert fraud. "It Is alleged that 1 reported 320 acres of land within two miles of O'Neill as an asset of the bank, but that the title to the same was not in the Elkhorn bank. Theie was no authority In law for the bank to own this land. Real estate outside of the banking house can only be required In payment of a debt. It was not claimed by the officers of the bank that the land was acquired In a legal manner and the hold ing of It was emphatically disapproved by me. I would not have taken the responsi bility of giving color of approval to it by requiring a deed to be made to the bank had I found that it was not so deeded. I was Informed, however, that a deed to the land did run to the bank, but that it had not been recorded. I did not advise re cording the deed, for 1 did not countenance the proceedings. "I did not approve as a 'good' asset an overdraft of the cashier. Patrick Hagerty, for $775.92. I repotted it as an a.wt Just as it was and so appeared, but with the explanation that it was drawn against his share of the profits and salary, to be credited up at the end of the year. If his salary hod been credited up monthly In stead of at the end of the year no over draft would have been shown." Mr. Whlttomoro snld 111 regard to the statement that he had overlooked forged and fictitious notes that he was not ac quainted with the handwriting of the mak ers of the notes, but they bore every evi dence of being genuine, and even now he had no evidence that any of the -notes were forged. Mr. Whittemore expressed surprise that the suits should have been started, but said he was willing to show his ac counts to the most searching scrutiny. CHAMBERUn MAY RKTIRN Attorney Making; Inquiries as to Bond Which Will Be Required. TECUMSEH, Neb.. April 13. (Special.) The Johnson County Journal, a local weekly paper. Is responsible for the state ment that Charles M. Chamberlain, the fugitive bank wrecker. Is going to give himself up to the law and return to Te cumseh, the scene of his wrongdoings. In Its Issue of today the Journal says: We understand that there is a movement on foot looking to the return of Charles M. Chamberlain to this city, to answer to the charge of wrecking the Chamberlain banking house. Rumor nss it that an out-of-town attorney has lately been here for the purpose of finding out what amount of bond Would be necessary to give, offering to make a $12,000 bond. Tt Is said that the proper officials demand that the bond be made $20,000 It Is now nearly two years since the Chamberlain bank failed and Cashier Chamberlain went to parts un known, since which time no Tecumseh man save one, so far as Is known, hns met and talked with the cashier. D. R. Oder talked with him at the depot in St. Joseph, Mo., not many weeks aftr the bank failure. Chamberlain has been heard from Indirectly many times since that time, but so far as we know no very strenuous efforts have been made to bring him hack for trial. Now, It seems, Mr. Chamberlain Is anx ious to return home and stand his trial. It l likely that something will be done soon In fixing the amount of bond, and this done Mr. Chamberlain will before long join his family in this city. Boy Accidentally Shot. NEBRASKA CITY.
