MONEY FOR CARE OF INSANE Vnrlons Xcbrnskn Conntles Send In Ten Thontnnd Dollars hi Hctnlt j of Effort to Collect for SerTlcea of Past. ' (From a Staff Correspondent) MNCOLN, Dec. -(Spclal)-The re ixirt of Auditor W. B. Howard for the second lx month of his administration has been prepared and submitted to the governor. . Among tho notable Improvements made ls'4 doing Hway with Uio three-cornered check each month of the treasurer, secre tary of state and slate auditor. The old system consisted of tho auditor making entries from the warrant stubs, tho secre tary of state from the vouchers and tho treasurer from tho warrants. Tho per sons actually disbursing the different ap propriations kept no record of thorn and In consequence often allowed larger ex penditures than If they were always In formed as to the exact condition of the same. When the Board of Commissioners of Stato Institutions relieved the secretary of state of keeping records of expendi tures of the fourteen state Institutions, a system was Inaugurated whereby each department kept an accurate (voucher record on each of their funds and the auditor sends out monthly statements which are checked against the various voucher records and returned to the auditor's office. Tills Insures accuracy and probably many dollars to the state because of tho fact that ench department knows at all times the conditions! of Its funds. Acvr System tu Votrne. Under the new law a separate warrant has to be Issued to each Individual em ploye at each of tho fourteen Institutions of tho state, which has Increased the wprk In the office to a considerable de gree. From June to November In 1911 the number of warrants Issued wcro 13,403, while for the same period this year the number amounted to 18,061, an Increase of 4,$5S. In order to arrive at the approxi mate Increase In the number for a normal six months tho Increased payroll war rants fpr two months additional 700 each, or 1,400 should be added to the above, nial(t UE a total Increase written In six months of 6.06S. or 12,116 additional for the year or 24,232 for tho blennlum. The increase for tho blennlum almobt- equals the total number of warrants written In. Ml and entails much additional work for the .office, as tho bookUeenor and recorder must each distribute these 24,232 addi tional entries to the various accounts. Par for Cnrc of Insane. The new auditor found outstanding duo tho stato from vtir'us rountl for the .tcare Of their Insane previous to 1S91 the . iim of JOG.277.70.

UNCOLN, Dec 13.-(Spoclal.W. W. Shahon, secretary of the Board of Charities and Corrections, who has been inspecting the Jails and poor farms In the eastern portion of tho state, says he be lieves a majority of the boards of su pervisors and county commissioners have a, misconception of their duties as county officers when the poor farm question is being considered. They seem to have the Idea of making money out of the farm ! rather than the care and comfort of those Who are compelled by circumstances to be the inmates of tho poor house. The farms aro ln a high state of cul tivation, good barns both for horses and cattle, hog houses and chicken houses are in excellent shape; the farms as a rule are. stocked with good horses, thor oughbred cattle, hogs and chickens, and tb boards prido themselves on the num ber of blue ribbons the superintendent Is able to bring home after attending fairs cr other exhibitions, whllo the farm house that Is occupied by the poor un fortunate man or woman sent there as his only home, Is an old house, not mod ern In any particular and whofty unfit for the use for which it Is Intended, and Is In fact and In truth a "poor house." It Is perfectly proper and nil right so to conduct the farm that It will produco as much money as osslble, but at the same tlmo the comfort of the. Inmates should be Just as carefully looked after. "Near Plattsmouth," he said, "tho county commissioners are now building a new, Up-to-date, two-story and base ment building on their poor farm, which Is to be heated with steam, furnished with electric lights, bath rooms and toilets on each floor, and modern In every respect and I would suggest that the county board from any county that contemplates building In the near future go to plattsmouth and Inspect this build lng when completed." Biddlecomb Given Sentence for Crime PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., Dec 13.-(Spe-clal.) Jutlte James T. Begley of Popalllon held a short session of district court In1 this city and sentenced James Biddle comb to serve a term of from one to five years In tho state penitentiary after the defendant had pleaded guilty to tho charge of attempting to do great bodily Injury to one Nellie Swccn at Cedar Creek by throwing acid on her face.

The meeting: was Impressive In the evi dences ot arousod Indication and emo tion under strons restrnlnt. There was little talk amonsr tho women as they col lected In tho bis Auditorium, nor were the speakers applauded as they filed on the stage and took their chairs, awaiting the call of tho chairman, airs. George W. Haas. "A sense, of tho unusual seemed to be In the air," to quote tho comment of Mls Margaret Haley, author of tho resolutions. Sinister Hand of Politics. "We have felt the sinister hand of poli tics In our schools," sold Mrs. Bass in opening the meeting, at which there was sharp, almost hysterical outburst oi applause which subsided almost as soon aa It started. We shared Ella Flags Young with the world,"' she satd, and' there waa another short rattle of hand clapping. As otheY speakers were heard-Jane Aa- dams, Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen, Mrs. John MoMahon and tho sense of the meeting expressed In words colling Mayor llarrl shamly to account and stigmatising tho acts of the offending members ot ino- Board of Education as underhanded ana unprincipled , the emotional restraint gradually ebbed and the applause became more full and generous.

' Next a letter from tho mayor was read tn which ho sold that he sympathized with the women and that he had been betrayed by men he trusted. He alluded to 'the fact that the five resignations ot members of the board which he took the precaution to exact when they were ap pointed had been accepted and declared at least two other members of tho board would go If he had legal means to bring It about. "It took me three weeks to select a now chief of police," ran the letter; "It took the school board three minutes to elect a superintendent of schools,.
