KEARNEY, Neb., April !2.-(Speclal.)
In an Interview with cx-Superlntendent
C. B. Manuel of the Industrial school at
this place, ho makes the following state
ments In reply to the charges preferred
ugalnst him by the special committee In
their report on their Investigation bc
lore the house Thursday.
"The report Is purely a political at
tack upon me, by the same crowd of
fellows who wore so free with their
toasts two years ago because of my re
fusal to support Jim Dahlman. It Is
n rehash- of supposedly crooked deals
because of which the committee Is very
much perturbed becauso they found them
groundless.
"The system of bookkeeping Is the same
ns has been 1 nvogue for years, and has
been approved by the board, and every
dollar of receipts and expenditures have
been recorded. Receipts are on file for
ell monies received and the records show
from whence the monies came.
"All cattle that were sold was under
the sanction of the board of public lands
nnd buildings. It Is true that calves and
cows were sold, but this stock had been
gone over by the board and they were
told what yould bo secured for the stuff
and when the money was turned over Mr.
Cowles heartily approved the transaction.
Hogs were sold at varlos times and tha
highest market value was obtained, If
tho committee had turned to the ledger
they would have found an account opened
with Mr. Falrchllds In which he bought
h. cow and several other Items. These
were paid for out of his salary month by
inontfi and the money turned Into the
cash fund and all accounted for.
TraTelluir Uxpcnse.
In order to make a bIiuw.ii the com
mittee charges me up with traveling ex
penses and lncludo in this all office In
cidentals such as postage, stationery, re
wards for escapes, automobile hire, car
fare for officers who returned boys, etc.
less than SO per cent of this amount can
rightfully be charged as traveling ex
penses and several other officers mado
other, trips and these are charged to me.
I notice an item of $125 for a trip to Chi
cago. If the committeo cared to be
truthful it would have TJIscovered that I
made but one trip to Chicago and that
tho expenses of that trip were paid by
the mother of the boy, I went nfter and
the records so show, The committee Is
in error when they say that I made pur
chases without tho proper requisitions
from the board for all these requisitions
are on file at the Institution and clearly
give me authority to make purchases. Tho
committee found a pump, and as Manuel.
Is to be made tho scapegoat he must be
charged up with making "the purchase.
Here again if the committee had con
sulted trie recprds It would have found
ample authority for mo making the pur
chase. This was done In consultation
with Edward P. Schurlg, engineer em
ployed by the board. About a week after
this purchase was made Mr, Cowles mide
a second purchase of a pump without our
knowledge and when his attention was
called to the fact .that we had two
pumps he said we could use It as an
extra or at another Institution. If any
one Is blameable for tho purchase It Is
Mr. Cowles and not Mr. Manuel.
nentliiK Typewriters.
"There a no record to substantiate the
charge that the stenographers were com
pelled to rent their typewriters from me.
That two of them did rent a machine
from me I do not deny and that they paid
me for It I do not deny. It was their
own Individual concern. They could not
use the old Smith-Premier and the board
would not give the permit to purchase u
new machine. Stenographers when hired
were given to understand that they must
furnish their own machines. It made no
difference to me from whom they rented.
Tn regard to the employment of my wlf.i
and daughters the matter Is too trivial
to mention. The superintendent's wife
has always been the matron of the Insti
tution anf" draws the magnlflclent salary
of $25 per month. The daughter that
drew $33 per month filled the places of
three women, one of which would havo
drawn $18.66, another $13.35, and the other
$5. By her doing the work the stito
saved the board of two people and re
ceived the full value for the money thus
expended.
"The charge that I purchased a Jiorao
for the exclusive use of my daughter is
a malicious falsehood. The horse was
used for a driving horse by me and wus
not driven by my daughter a dozen times
In all.
"If the committee wished to be fair it
would have read the biennial reports that
I have filed with tho Board of Public
Lands and Buildings. More than $15,000
of the present deficiency was caused by
the board Installing a new" heating plant
at the school.
Itont fur Plucek.
"The chairman nf the committee. Mr.
I'lnceKi'iaceK, nas mauu a super-numnu
effort to besmirch my character und for
no other reason than the one of refusing
to swallow the whole dmocratlc debauch
for two years ago. The Investigation at
the school was a farce. AVhen asked by
other memebrs of the committee and by
Superintendent Clark to call me to the
school, Mr. Placek did not want to sen
me at all. He could have written Just as
good a report In his room at the Lincoln
hotel and It would havo been founded on
Just us much facts as the reports he has
written. His report Is one-third imagl-
nary and two-thirds malice. If there were
were any facts in the charges made the
attorney general would have been prose
cuting me long ago."
