In Michigan City this afternoon he was

that th appeal will never b perfected.
Another resson advanced as to the useless
ness of making the appeal Is the fact, that
the case would not be resched in the higher
court for two years, by which time Lam-
there would be In position, if his conduct
ha been good, to appear before the prison

(From a Staff Correspondent.) -
LINCOLN, Nov. 27. (Special Telerram.)
Joe Butler and the other statesmen from
Omaha who are getting ready to draw that
$2,000 a year paid to the deputy state oil
Inspector, had Just a well get back to
work .'If the report which comes In from
Arthur Mullen of O'Neill is true. Mullen
Is quoted as saying to a friend at O'Neill:
"Out of the seventy-four applicants fos
the placo Mr. Schallenberger Insists that
I accept the Job. Because of his Insistence
I have about decided to sacrflce my law
practice and accede to the governors
wishes."
Mullen was making an awful fight for
the place when he had the new governor
hog-lied and down and out with a broken
leg last week, and the announcement that
he says he Is going to get the Job comes
J not aa a great surprise to Lincoln. How
ever. Mr. Shallenberger has not yet made
the official announcement.
in tne meantime w. r . Schwlnd. ap
pointed deputy oil Inspector for the First
dlatrlct, wrote to the new governor today
declining the Job. Mr. Schwind aald he be
lleved he could not afford to quit the prac
tice of law for $100 a month, which the
office pay.
How White Conlrlhnted.
t
C. E. Whit, superintendent of the School
for the Desf, located at Omaha, appointed
by.Oovernor Sheldon, is a candidate for
reappointment at the hands of Governor
elect Shallenberger.
For that reason Mr. While objected aerl.
oualy with having been credited with con
tributing to the republican state campaign
fund, and he furnished the World-Herald
with th basis for a etory published this
morning. This story wss to the effect that
Mr. White had not contributed to the re
publican campaign committee and that if
Treasurer Lindsay has used his name aa a
contributor he had probably uaed other
names In order to hide where the money
really came from.
Several days ago when the name of this
man White appeared a a contributor, he
called up Treasurer Lindsay and said: "
"I do not want my name to appear a
having contributed to the republican cam
paign fund. I am a candidate for reap
pointment at th handa of Governor-elect
Shallenberger and that thing may hurt me."
The record of H. C. Lindsay, treasurer
of the republican state committee, ahow
that Mr. White contributed for the em
ployes of the institution $17S. December 19,
1907. At the time the contribution waa
mad Mr. Lindsay Informed Mr. White
that hla report had already been filed and
that hla contribution would appear In the
next report to be filed thla fall. Mr. Lind
say' record show he filed a report last
fall showing receipts and expenditures up
to November 22. 1907.,
The rreport he recently filed we from
that time up to and Including November
20, 1908. Mr. Lindsay was treasurer of the
committee In 1907 and held over In 1908 and
to make a true report he had to Include
In this year' report all the expenditure
and receipt from the time of that report
to the time of the 1908 report.
Th records show that W. J. O'Brien
mad a contribution - November 28, 1907,
Clayton Kellam, December, 9. 1907, C. B.
Henarl. February i, and George Coup
land. February 14. 1, ail contributions
to the campaign after the 1907 report had
been filed and thalr names appear in the
1S08 report.
Mr. White was fully conversant with the
fscts when he gave his story to the demo
pop, sheet. He wss told when he sent down
the $17 thst he would be given credit 1n
the 1908 report.
Mr. White objected to Its publication at
this time because he feared it would preju
dice him In the eye of th newly eleoted
democratic guvrnor.
Mr. White waa appointed by Governor
