SAYS. FEE ACCOUNTS MIXED Accountants Checking Former County Officers Find Some Irregularities. BELIEVE COUNTY PAID TOO MUCH Don Mr IV r Diem (hnrari and Nn nierons Other Careless Items in ' Sheriff's Office Iteporteil to County Hoard. In a report filed by County Comptroller Solomon with the county hoard Monday afternoon the charge Is made that John Power, while sheriff of PomrIrb bounty collected from the county JJ.3W.fifl which the report srfys la made tip of "excessive. Irregular and possibly Illegal charges." A similar report shows K. A. Bromlwell, during his two terms as district clerk earned as fees over $'-'4,000 more tlmn he collected. It Is the contention of the county board he should be held respon sible for the amount of the uncollected fees. During 'his two terms Mr. Uroad well collected ll.OSO.aS as clerk of the board of itmantty and $.T:2.60 for Issuing naturalisation pnpers, both Items being In dispute as to whether .they belong to the clerk or to the county. 'The report wss compiled by John Lewis and James- Ruan, special accountants In th comptroller's office, who have been checking up the accounts of former of ficials. Similar reports will be made covering Sheriff McDonald's terms and those of . the other county officers on a fee- basts. Fees Did Xot Pay Depatlea. In the .report op Sheriff Power's office attention Is ' called to the fact that th eounty commissioners authorized Sheriff Power to expend each year -for deputies amounts ranging from 17,000 to 9,000 a year, to be paid from the fees earned by the office. Kach year the amount earned by the office fell between $1,000 and $2,CO0 short of meeting these expenditures and the report says the county is not liable for the excesses -for which Sheriff Power filed a bill. Concerning Irregularities the report says Sheriff Power has collected mileage from Individuals and also the i.imii amounts from the county, being duplicate collec tions, the total amounting to $56.16; also fees earned by former Sheriff McDonald amounting to which belongs to Doug las county: that he has collected fees and mileage, doublo In cases 7rom private In dividuals amounting to $43.50; that he has collected fees earned by him while In of fice, since the expiration of his third term to the amount of $f7S.S7; that he earned and collected from the state for convey ing prisoners and fugitives to various In stitutions $315 more than the amount re ported by him to the county commissioners. Continuing, the report says: Too Many Trips with Prisoners. "I find his bills against the county which were filed by him and paid by the county contain many excessive, Irregular and possi bly Illegal charges, such as charging ex--eslve fee; and per diem for obeying orders from the Insanity commission, charging excessive mileage on warrants In addition to hack hire In conveying patients down at the same t'me, using the same train -aad the. same guard and charging the county 0h same price for the service iiyiiy.snr xZmL, T"TW vui ; . . - v. v 7 JJ -vwf s .

In eighty-eight cases, the report says, he used his own deputies or the superintend ent of the county poor farm or matron of the county- Jail as guards and collected $2 per day for their services, while the county was paying them a monthly salary. The report says the county should not pay tlrtse guards when they are receiving a salary from the county. The report further says he has collected $107.07 as fees for serving writs for the district court of Lancaster county. RIVER ABOVE FL0CD STAGE Missouri Tide Goes Over the Eighteen. Foot Mark, but No Harm la Apprehended. The river Is within two-tenths of a foot of the highest stage It has reached In recent years. The record for Monday was 18.3 feet, which Is three-tenths of a foot above the flood gauge. Fortunately there Is no flood stage at Omaha, even with this high stage. Besides the river ha fallen two-tenths at Sioux City and one- tenth of a foot at Blair bridge and Weather Forecaster Welsh says there Is no Imme diate prospect for any further rise. The river was stationary at Omaha Monday forenoon, but the drift, which Is somewhat In excess of that coming down Sunday, still continues In the center of the river, which Indicates the stationary stage. Some ob servers at the Douglas street bridge Insist that the river Is falling slowly. No damago Is reported from either Cutoff or Florence lukes and the people up at East Omaha are not alarmed, as they can stand another half foot rise up there without an over flow. There has been a little back water Into Cutoff lake, but there Is no present sign of the river cutting through. Only a trace of rain Is reported In the upper MlssourPvalley In the Dakotas and it Is not thought these can have any ap preclable effect on the river In Its present falling stage at Sioux City and Blair. Showers prevail In the mountain districts and some good but none too excessive rains are reported In southern and western Ne braska and Kansas. , Pasaenaver Train Kills Man. MARSHALLTOWN. Ia..

NO HEAVY BAINS SINCE SATURDAY Artiniralf and Wholesale District in Wwt Ilottonta Vast 'tk Tralaa Mar with Dlfllcaltr, KANSAS CITY. June n.-The Missouri ver has begun to fall and the end of the great flood is In sight. The Kaw Is also falling. and In Its upper courses Is rapidly reaching a normsl stage. The crest of the Missouri was reached this morning at 31. S feet. The river continued stationary until p. m. and between S and o'clock had fallen an Inch. The river Is falling at St. Joseph and the slight ; rise reported at maha will be lost long before the water reaches here. Only showers are predicted In the region that could affect the height of the river here and they wlll,not be heavy enough to do any damage. , During the next th'rty-slx hours, eecord- ng to the weather bureau, both rivers will fall slowly, the Kaw, however, more rsp Idly than the Missouri.' Most of the railroads are using the Grand venue railroad station, although the water did not come ur Into the Union epot. The Alton, Burlington and Mis souri, Kansas ft Texas are starting their rains and unloading their pastengers at Sheffield on the eastern boundary of the city. Involving a street car ride of four miles to reach the center of the city. ItlTers Becoming Stationary. When the rivers became stationary this morning the Kaw registered a stage of 29.6 eet, while the guage of the Missouri was 30.1 feet. The Missouri Is holding back the waters of the Kaw and forming one vast lake In the district comprised by Armour- ale, Kan., and the wholesale district In the west bottoms of Kansas City, Mo. The Kaw river Is falling at Topeka and other points west. Reports from Missouri river points to the north Indicate that the waters re receding slowiyn flooded districts. The Missouri Pacific. Wabash and Chi cago & Alton are still using the Union tatlon as they enter the train sheds from the higher grounds to the east. The Santa Fe, Frisco and Chicago, Milwaukee ft St. Paul were the last to abandon the western pproach to the station. They are using the depot at Twenty-second and Grand avenue. Forecaster Connor of the weather bureau takes a more optimistic view of conditions today. He believes the crest of the flood has been reached and, although he ex pects Blight showers in the Kaw valley within the next twelve hours, he does not think these rains will have any appreciable ffect here. Receding at Topeka. TOPEKA, Kan.. June 16. While the water today la still over the greater portion of North Topeka from two Inches to two feet, It Is a vast pond rather than a swift flow. Ing current and It Is gradually receding. The Kaw river has fallen two feet since Saturday and will be back In the old chan nel before night. ' The railroad situation shows little Im provement. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 15. The Mississippi river Is still rising and at noon had reached a stage of SIS feet which Is two and a half feet above the danger line. The water has completely covered the levee and is 'applng at the bases of buildings along the river front. Very little damage has been done to property. . , READY FOR BUSINESS (Continued from First' Page.) ' ? and of course this honor of being associated with Mr. Tart In the campaign is not one to be treated lightly. Notwithstanding these considerations I feel that my duty lies In me oiner airecnon. i can render me party Just as good service on the stump as if I were on tne ticket. There are considerations also of a do- Utlcal character local to our state which It seems to me are almost peremptory In In dicating my duty. 1 feel that our delegation should be In formed of my attitude in this matter. You nave my full authorltv to take such action as may be thought necessary to with draw my name rrom consideration In con nection with thla office if such considera tion Is round to be aerlously contemplated. very iruiy yours, J. r. DOLLIVUK. Letter May Hot Be Final.. No action was taken by the delegation with regard to the letter. It was received and read as an expression of Senator Dol- Uver's personal Inclination In the matter, but there was a general feeling that If the delegates should finally decide to present Senator Dolllver's name, they could find a way to do so. Frank P. Woods, chair man of the republican state committee ot Iowa, arrived today with a number of prominent men of the party outside the delegation and began vigorously to pro claim the candidacy of Senator Dolllver, saying that the state desires the honor of nomination and that Senator Dolllver is the logical man for the place. The Alllson-Dolllver delegates from Iowa do not take any more kindly to the sug gestion said to emanate from the White House at Washington that Governor Cum mins might be given the place, but their reasons are different. They do not take kindly to the Idea of conferring this honor upon him, and they say that if nominated many members of this faction would on that account refuse to support the national ticket. The Iowa men who are opposing Dolll ver's nomination were out early and giving their undivided attention to heading oft the boom of their senator. They were soon joined by former Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who sought out Senator Lodge before the latter had finished his breakfast, and Immediately began a vigor ous remonstrance against further efforts In Dolllver's behaf. Mr. Hhaw went directly to the point. "You don't want another La Follette In the sen ate, do you?" he asked. "Well, then," he added, "don't open the way for sending Cummins to the senate, as you will do If you cause Dolllver to vacate his seat there. Yea," he went on, "we might vote for Dolllver it he were nominated, but we are going to see to It that he Is not nominated; It must not be." For the first time since hs arrived from Fort Dodge last Friday, Senator Long today manifested a disposition to weaken In his advocacy of the Iowa senator. He did not ssy In exact words that he would con tinue .ins cuoris. dui ne am express sym pathy with the Iowa republicans and he was by no means so determined as formerly In pressing the claims of his friend. With Dolllver out of the way, the contest narrows practically to Fair banks and Sherman, with Fairbanks declar ing emphatically over the long distance tel ephone that he will not accept second place If tendered him. Senator Hemenway la his spokesman hero and he said: "I have stated a thousand times that the vice president would not accept If nomi nated; I can now only reiterate, and that I do with all the emphasis at my com mand." Ur. Fairbanks' friends say that there will be a revulsion ot sentiment against what they characterise as the present pol icy of dictating the national nominees from Washington, and they contend that It he holds himself superior to present induce ments and maintains a dignified position of opposition to this plsn he will be moat ' llglble for the first place four years hence. They admit, however, that the vice rrsl dnt would be r laced In n embarrassing position by the fender of the. nomination. Among those en the ground who are urging his candidacy are the republican candidates for state offices In Indiana. Including the gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Watson. They are representing the necessity of naming Mr. Fairbanks In the Interest of themselves ntid the party In that state. ew York After Both Places. Absolute harmony, eo far as surface In dications went, characterised the New York delegation. For the first time In modern politics In that state. United States ?ena-l tor Thomas C. Piatt of Tioga county was not In attendance, his place being taken by Senator J. P. Allds of Norwich." United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew was chosen as the state representative In the list of honorary vice presidents. For mem bership en the committee on resolutions Representative- Sereno E. Pano was chosen. A resolution was adopted unanimously on motion of Representative Parsons re questing General Ptewsrt I Woodford as head of the delegatlon-at-lnrse to present the name of Governor Hughes as the choice cf the state for president. There was no mention of the vice presidency. Congressman Herbert Parsons sent ft sharp telegram to Governor Hughes this morning. In which he said the nomination of Secretary Taft was now practically as sured and that Governor Hughes wst practically out of the running. He advised the governor that there was a general feel ing that New York should be accorded the vice presidency If a suitable name were presented from that state, but so long as the delegation' was bound by their obtlra llon to Vovernor Hughes, It was Important to secure the recognition to which It was believed New York was entitled. He called attention to the anguage of the resolution Instructing the delegation to vote for Gov ernor Hughes until he was nomlhated or he withdrew, the Intimation being that the delegation was powerless to act unless 'Gov ernor Hughes should withdraw. This was followed by a telegram from Delegate-at-Large Frederick R. Hazard of Syracuse, who was named as a delegate upon Mr. Hughes' suggestion. Mr. Hazard advised the governor that either Taft or Roosevelt would be nominated for the presidency and that the New York delegation could probably unite on ex-Mayor Beth Low for the vice presidency. If free to act. No response from Albany has yet been re ceived, i Delegates from New England and other states. Including Indiana, gave the New York men the Idea that latent strength was available for the backing of a New York state vice presidential candidate, If only New York could harmoniously decide who It was to be. An augury In the direction was the dis position evident on nearly all hands before the caucus to avoid controversy over the minor matters of committee assignments. Before the caucus convened It was the Sen eral belief that there would after all be no opposition to the choice of Slate Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff of Brooklyn, as chairman of the delegation; oft Represent ative Sereno E. Payne of Auburn, as mem ber of the committee on resolutions, or of William L. Ward of Westchester, to sue ceed himself as member of the national committee. There had been early promise of a warm fight on all three of these mat ters. A movement was sprung among the Call fomla delegates this morning for the nomi nation of George A, Knight of San Fran cisco for vice president. Several of th leading republicans of the state have been urging upon Mr. Knight to enter the race, but the letter has not yet given consent to the use 6f his name. In addlWpft to Joining In the long distance telephonic "representations to Secretary Taft in opposltlrVn to the selection of Senator Dolllvef as the vice presidential candidate, National Committeeman Hart today sent to the secretary the following telegram! CHICAGO. June ll.-Hon. W. H. Taft. Washington, D. C Please discourage talk of Dolllver., it means practically anarchy In Iowa and almost certainly a democratic legislature. You can't afford to upeet a strong repuDiican state. KHNEBT HART. The New Jersey delegation wlll vote for Fairbanks for vice president If his name comes before the convention In that con nectton, according to an authoritative state ment thla morning. If Fairbanks Is not a candidate for vice president the delegation will likely follow the lead of the New York delegation. The sentiment ot the delega tion Is strongly opposed to an anti-Injunction plank in the platform. LITTLE THIRD TERM SENTIMENT Several Copies of President's Recent Letter in Clrenlatloa. CHICAGO, June IS. Rumors that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who is to be the permanent chairman of the con ventlon. Is In possession of a letter from President Roosevelt, intended as a damper upon any "third term" movement that may be attempted, are definitely denied by Senator Lodge, himself. The report Is be lleved to have grown out of the fact that President Roosevelt wrote a letter some ittle time aero to United Btstna Judue Day ton of West Virginia, when It was Inti mated that Delegates C. F. Teeter and George W. Curtln of that state, Intended a possible disregard of their Instruction, for Secretary Taft and a bolt to Roose velt. The writ !r.i of this letter, was referred to at the time In Associated Press dis patches, and It Is said that several copies of It are In Chicago, one being In the possession of Benator Lodge. It is gener ally believed that the letter will not be read In convention, as suggested, for It Is thought by the president and the leaders here that the occasion for its use will not arise. While It Is said the letter does not con fine a definite repetition of President Roosevelt's refusal to be a candidate to succeed himself, it is a strong expression of hls'feellng that the violation ot Instrue tlons on the part of the delegates would be highly Improper, and contains the statement that no friend of his would further any movement In behalf ot a third term. WHITE HATTERS RAP FOR TAFT Cincinnati March Ins; Clab Appears Aniens Delegates. CHICAGO, June U.-The Blaine club of Cincinnati, $00 strong, arrived this morn ing and aroused no little enthusiasm as they inarched from the depot to their hotel. Charles P. Taft, met them and joined in the parade. The club members mde a spectacular appearance with their white tall hats, black cutaway coats, red ties, red carna Moris, gray trousers and gold headed canes, The ir.archlnc was of the best thus far displayed by any of the political clubs. The club paraded up and down Michigan avenue and then returned to their hotel for breakfast. Later In the; day the Ohio healauarters were thronged with the "white hatters" as they were soon called while their salue of pounding the floor with their canes whenever Ohio's favorite can dldate was mentioned, sounded like sub- calibre practice on a battleship. Hitchcock to Bo ia Convention CHICAGO. June 1.-Frank H. Hitchcock the Taft manager, will sit In the conven tion as an alternate from Alaska. Th! was decided today by the Alaska delega Uon. ... FINDS MANY LAW VIOLATIONS Nebraska Mutual Hat Odd Methods, Says Receiver Wakeley. SI- H0LC0MB 0WX3 $10,000 Report Filed in District Coart Crlti- rises ACeonat of Assets and State AAdltor Henrle lor Not f'loalnsx I Company. 14 a detailed report filed in district court Monday afternoon Arthur Wakeley. re ceiver of the Nebraska Mutual Fire lnsur- nce company, which failed last fall, de- lares the report of the company made at hat time Is Incorrect; that large amounts f listed assets are worthless or of doubtful Blue; that some of the acta ot the officer were In direct violation of law and that State Auditor 8earle should have begun in solvency proceedings against the company n June, 1907. Mr. Wakeley sayi the rep-rrt f Examiner Wiggins, filed with the auditor une 24, 1907, showed the company to be nsolvent, and that Its liabilities exceeded Its assets at that time by $16.032 4. The receiver says It Is to be regretted he state auditor did not apply for a re ceiver then, as It would have relieved the company of fire losses amounting to $69,000. The report criticises the conduct of the company and the condition of Its records In certain Instances. Ex-Oovernor Holcomb Owes Money The report also says ex-Governor Silas A. Holcomb, formerly general agent of the ofnnpany for Washington and Idaho, Is In (lebt to the company to the amount of over $10,009. The report of the condition of the com pany November 1, 1907, showed the liabilities exceeded the assets $137.0U4.iK, but Mr. Wakeley says this Is not a true and correct statement of the condition of the company. Of . the real estate "mortgages listed as assets at 111.0(0 he says some had been sold and the remainder had been hypothecated o the Omaha National bank to secure a debt of 15,503 borrowed ot the bank In June, 1907. Most of the cash on deposit In the bank was taken to cover the debt. The accounts due from agents to the com pany tor premiums and other collections amount, according to the company's state ment, to $41,741.27, but Mr. Wakeley says he Will be fortunate If he collects $16,000. The deferred and cash premiums carried a pre mium notes amount to $62,567.34, but they are mostly uncollectible, says' the report. Accounts receivable from William V. Har per of Montgomery, Ala., and P. B. Arm strong of New York City are worthless, In the opinion of the receiver, as are also notes given for premiums amounting to $9,028.2. Retarned Notes to Owners, j Original guaranty notes to guarantee pay ment of fire losses and expenses to the amount of ' $21, 30. 43 had been given to the company, but Mr. Wakeley says $11,000 of these had been returned by the officers of the company to the makers, "In direct vio lation of law." He says he will bring suit to collect the notes. The office furniture, listed at $6,181.49, Mr. Wakeley says, is worth about $3. W0. end he rejects entirely an Item of $146.51 at accrued Interest, saying the receiver has received no accrued interest. Supplies listed at $5,000 he declares are practically worthless. Of the $41,711.27 due from agents some of the principal debtors are ' Silas A. .Hol comb, formerly agent for Washington and Idaho, $lt),728.86; E. H. Pierce, formerly state agent for Utah, $851.08; James E. Hendy, Chicago. $1,627.24; James W. Durbrow, New York, $2,9S4.04; Guy B.- Thompson, Little Rock, Ark.. $6,099.52. Suit will be Instituted against former Governor Holcomb and the others. The method of keeping the guaranty fund account Is severely criticised. The report says this fund was not kept separate from the other accounts as required by law and by a resolution of the board ot directors and while It Is shown $77,023.91 was collected for this fund It Is Impossible to tell how much expense was connected to collecting it and what disposition was made of the funds. There are claims against the company now amounting to $70,243.57, according to the report. These are mostly fire lost claims.

Oalsell Is "attuned. Representative Dalxell, who will be the Pennsylvania representative on the plat form committee, said tonight that with some verbal changes, the plank would be entirely satisfactory to him. This an nouncement Is considered as Important In view of the prominence of Mr. Daltell on the house committee on ways and means and his position as a "stand-patter" and a expert. "I shall accept the pronouncement here made," he said, "with slight alterations, and Shall make no protest. I recognise the . fact that the time has come when thre must be a revision of the tariff, and appreciate that something must be said on the subject at this time." Mr. Dalxell declined to ssy what modifi cations he would Insist upon, but he In dicated that he felt satisfied that he would get them.
