Barton Writes Letters.
'State Auditor Barton' this afternoon
wrote the letters wlrlch have been hang
ing fire for several days. The ones ad
dressed to former officers -of the Union
Fire Insurance company were identical
and were as follows:
"We have In our possession a contract
signed by you and your associates In
which you agree to surrender and deliver
to the Woodmen Fire Insurance company
all ' possessions of the Union Fire Insur
ance company, Including furniture and
fixtures, supplies, books, money's, bills
f receivable, agents accounts, both debit
and credit, as shown by the books of the
company, together with the good will to
be held and applied to the proper conduct
of the company and the fulfillment of the
contract.
After being trusted for many year by
and possess the plant whloh Is mutual
find belongs to Ha members. Tou did
this for a consideration, as evidenced by
the, receipts now in our possession.
'Most men, sometime In their lives,
have made , mistakes and the world Is
generous to. the man who' acknowledges
thi and corrects the mistake made. It
Is An undlsputable fact that In attempting
to Sell the offices and plant of a mutual
company you have) Committed -'wrong.
Therefore, this department demands that
byrJanuarjj -1912, ' the amount you, re
ceived from the Woodmen Fire under the
contract mentioned, be returned to that
company." ,
The parties to whom they were ad
dressed were T. J. Bromfield, E. H. Mar
shall, G. P. Watson, Cyrus Kellogg and
J. F. Donovan.
Not. Moved JUy Delsell.
Mr. Barton also addressed a letter to
State Superintendent Deliell In which he
Informed that officer that while it was
apparent from the latters' letter the
payments to the teachers examlng board
were correct so far as they related to
examinations of teachers and of the
twnlve schools enumerated in the bill
authorising the creation of the board, he
still found no authority for payment of
money for examinations pf the state nor
mal schools and he would refuse In the
future to audit bills for that service.
State Superintendent Dclzell did not de
sire to say anything regarding the letter
except that he. doemd the normal exami
nations necessary to enable the board to
properly perform its work.
