TITE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906. cm IERN SHOWS UP AUTHORITY Eacretaxj f Bord Authorises Him to Situ Watoott Contract ACTION TAKtN IN OPEN BOARD MEETING ArU Solosaoa of Oatk Anneals to llMcraor Behalf af Bis Boa, Waa Is a Fagltlva la Old Mexico. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. (Special.) Superin tendent Kern of the Hasting asylum waa In Lincoln today, and according: to htm. If there la anything wrong with the contract fnlut of the board, and Dr. Kern certainly h the gooda to bear out thla insertion. Dr. Kern waa before the board a week ago, and at that time he read to the mem bers his letter to Governor Mickey, In which he told of the Burns contract and other contracts leading up to the Wescott contract, which the secretary of tie board authorised him to sign. Incidentally Dr. Kern was to sign the contract relating to the material used In the elevators, and he bad nothing to do with the price. ' Though this letter had been read to the board members. Chairman Eaton denied that he knew. anything of the contract, and be denied that any member of the board bad been authorised to tell Dr. Kern to sign the Weecott contract. What Dr. Kern did, he did with the authority of the board. Insofar as the contract for the porches Is concerned. Dr. Kern said he had received a letter from the board to advertise for bids and let the contract to the lowest bidder. No work has been done on this contract, and It Is likely nothing will be done until after the next legislature makes an appropriation for this purpose. "It has been customary," said Dr. Kern, "for the board toj-efer matters to the su perintendents of institutions, and It hns been done in all Institutions. I have on file written orders from the board's secre tary for everything I have done or ordered done." The queer thing about the contract Is the fact that Chairman Baton professed Igno rance of any knowledge of It, "when as a matter of fact It had been discussed at tha board meeting a few hours previous to the time he was asked about It. It was the action or Chairman Eaton wholly which gave rise to the belief that tiie contract to Wescott waa queer. Governor Mickey In tends to sift the matter further and find "out If there Is anything wrong. father Appeals for Boa.

The father has . asked Governor Mickey to promise to refuse to honor a requisition for his return to the Mormon state. . Ills letter to the governor was pathetic. He said, his boy on. last New Year s night. company with several lads of his own ace. by reaching through a broken window In a hardware store secured some re volvers with which they "shot out the old year and shot In the new." All of them were arrested for burglary. Young Solomon was told by the police If he would plead guilty to the charge, he would be given a thi,rty days sentence in the county jail. ' Being without friends' and advisers the. boy did' so and was sentenced to the reform school until, he became of age. 'The other boys stood trial and were acquitted. Shortly after his Incarceration' young Solomon .eecrjeJ and came to Omaha, where ha waa apprehended and token back to Utah, Governor Mickey having honored a requisition for him. According to the letter of the father the boy was put in Irons and thrown In a dark cell where for twelve days he subsisted on bread and water. At the end of this time, the latter said, the boy was compelled to march with the other prisoners, and being weak from lack of food he staggered so he was unable to keep his place in line, for which . offense be was punished - with a black snake whip until he became uncon scious. The .boy, took advantage of the first opportunity and escaped a ' second time and rounded up In old Mexico.
