Sev eral printers appeared before the State Printing board this afternoon to protest against tha payment of the claim of Tim othy Sedgwick of Tork for printing tha biennial report of tha State Labor bureau, They contended Mr. Sedgwick had stuffed tha report and made a total of 11 S un necessary pages, for which ha aakeld the state to pay SIX a page. They desired also to have the board stick Mr. Sedgwick for tha penalty for not delivering the re ports on time. The board deducted $31.06 for tha total bill of IO6.40. In answer to their charges Mr. Sedgwick produced a former report which he had been Instructed to follow in the make-up of the new re port, and in addition ha produced page proofs liberally marked which he said had been pasaed on by tha department. In thla proof was at least one of the,- pagea which oontalned a black type title to which the printers objected. His contention waa that he had followed the pattern aent him, had submitted page proofs, and that If tha bureau objected, the objections anouia have been marked In the proof. Labor Commissioner Maupln and his clerk. Miss Cora Schleslnger, both gave evidence that no page proof had ever been sent to their office. Maupln volunteered the Information that former Commissioner Ryder, who complied the report and passed on moat of tha proof, would bear out their statement, while Mr. Sedgwick was Just aa sure Mr. Ryder would bear out hla statement and In addition would say the Job was eminently satisfactory. The Tork printer then put some ginger Into the proceedings by showing: a postal card signed by Miss Schleslnger, calling hla attention to a correction to be made In one of the "title", pages In the "signa ture." Misa Schleslnger and Mr. Maupln contended thla card had been written after the printer had aent down a few pagea of the report stapled together for the bene fit of the legislature. Sedgwick received tha contract for print ing the report of the labor bureau be cause he was tha loweetvbldder, K26.40, for the Job. With 120 pagea taken out of the report at 11.26 the other bidders would have received the following prices for the work: State Journal, 11,204; ' North Co., 81.186.R0; Woodruff-Collins. $674.48; Gillisple & Phiiltpa, $S42.80; J. L. Claflin, 1804.9S; Hammond Printing Co., 1787.12. Grand Ielaad Row SIU1 Oa. Governor Shallenbergsr may have aettled the row between the adjutant and the commandant at the Soldiers' ' Home at Grand Island when he made his recent trip there, but It doesn't look Ilka It. The Board of Purchase and Supplies which met tcday to buy quarterly supplies for the various state Institutions, received a letter from C. H. Jones, commissary sergeant of the home, aaklng for several changes In the contracts. He Insists that the con tractors should be compelled to deliver not mere than a wagon kad of gooda at one time, for theVa la no place for the atuft to be stored at the home. In his letter ha told the'Jpoard that frequently, supplies of canned goods and oatmeal to last three montha waa delivered and stored In a little hot room. He took the matter up with the commandant, ha aald, but got no satisfac tion, and ha asked the board to help him out. "It will aave money to the state," ha argued If hla recommendations were fol lowed. He also wanted It to be under stood by the contractors that no goods should be delivered unleas ordered. One merchant told him, ha aald. that ha made more money delivering gooda to the Hast ings asylum than to tha home. Tf that Is true," the letter aald to tha board, "watoh Hastings."
