Reply to Charge
Of Albion Man
Allowed $5 a Day Traveling
lvTnncs la Tn-
eufficient to Meet Actual
Costs, Says McKclvie.
Lincoln, Auk. 25. (Special.)
Governor McKelvie and all employes
(' in his department travel on a regu
lar per diem basis when out of Lin
v coin and $5 is the per diem, the gov-
ernor declared toclav in a letter to
James Auten of Albion, in answer
to a letter written by Auten to the j
governor a5king liim why his ex-
pense account called for ?5 for a day
spent at Albion while the social
columns of the Albion weekly paper
showed that the governor was entcr-
uined hy Senator and Mrs. lllian
I place my traveling expenses
upon a perdiem basis," the governor
wrote,, "and it is readily recognized
by anyone who has ever had any
experience in traveling that $5 a day
does not nearly cover my actual ex
penses incurred. I his matter was
brought to the attention of two di
terent legislatures and in each in
stance $2,500 was appropriated for
this purpose for the biennium. Out
ot this amount there remained an
unexpended balance of $707.95 at the
end of my first term. This indicates.
I think, the careful manner in which
I have used this expense money.
Considers Trips Duty.
The governor then outlined hi
reasons for accepting numerous pub
lic speaking invitations from com
munities throughout the state, lie
said;
"I consider it a part of the official
duties of the governor to be of scrv
ice to the people of the state m
Tout regard ta the inconvenience to
myselt ot the added work that it in
volved, I have accepted numerous
ftnvitations to go into the various
communities of the state to meet the
people in a public May.
"No charge has ever been made,
7- either by way of honorarium or for
actual expenses incurred, and I have
been just as prompt to make these
trips to the most remote communities
as I have to accept invitations for the
larger and more important events.
Learns Needs of People.
"This has enabled me to know the
heeds and wants of the people in a
way that could not otherwise be
done, and I feel that it has been of
very great value to me in rendering
4the very best possible service in any
official capacity.
"Whether the actual expenses in
;i'curred by me in my tripto Albion
1 were more or less than $5 I do not
" 7 know, nor does it make any differ
ence under the plan above outlined."
Auten's letter was received by the
governor a day after it was received
by an Omaha newspaper, unfriendly
to the governor, and published by
the newspaper.
The governor returned this morn
ing from Orleans, Neb., where he
made a speech, dictated a reply to the
Auten letter and left for St. Edwards,
Neb., immediately after to make a
speech there this afternoon.

4Mute" Startled Into Speech When
Someone Steps on Poodle's Tail
Fremont, Neb., .Aug. 25. (Spe
cial.) R. P. Flynn, alias R. P
Fields, supposed mute who claims
Omaha as his home, was startled into
speaking at the county jail after a
15-day silence when someone stepped
on Mike's abbreviated tail. Mike is
Sheriff Gondii's French poodle. His
sudden yelp behind Flynn caused the
supposed mute to jump noticeably
while under a cross-examination.
His action was noticed by officials
and their suspicions that Flynn was
a faker were confirmed when he
verbally admitted that he was "play
ing possum."
Flynn admits being a professional
faker and working upon public sym
pathy, police say. He carried a book
in which are the names of Omahans
and Frcmonters with their subscrip
tions. He gathered about $35 in
Fremont before arrested August 9
by Sheriff Condit on a charge of
vagrancy. Investigation proved that
his claims as to his former residence
in Louisville, Neb., were false.
Flynn stated today that he was
driven to his present occupation by
necessity. He is a structural iron
worker by trade, he says, and also a
steeple-jack. Recent he had suffered
with fainting spells and could not
accept work at dizzy heights. He
said he told his wife, whom he left
in Omaha with two infant children,
that he would follow the harvest. In
stead, he assumed the role of a mute,
explaining that he was naturally of a
quiet disposition and silence was not
difficult for him. To substantiate his
pathetic story, Flynn presented an
affidavit signed by W. E. Barz,
Dodge county clerk, which confirmed
his supposed unfortunate condition.
His wife came to the county jail
today, accompanied by her brother.
who was called to help locate, the
husband. Charges will not be
pushed against Flynn by local offi
cers, it is understood.

Lincoln, Aug. 25. (Special.)
"Brother Charley" Bryan has taken
another fall out of the mayor and
city commissioners, who refused to
elect him mayor after the people
gave him a larger majority than
they did his opponent, Mayor Frank
t. Cchrung, against whom recall pe
titions an being circulated.
Recently Lincoln has been filled
with propaganda iu which a discon
tinuance of its s'r'eet railway system,
similar to that in Des Moines, was
threatened.
Shortly after the spread of the
propaganda, an ordinance appeared
in the city hall governing omni
busses, running within and vithoul
the city limits, which forces owners
of the bus lines to make' scheduled
.stops, run on schedule time and keep
running at least 8 hours a day.
The mavor and city commission
ers, excepting "Brother Charley."
in public statements, declared the
ordinance was "for the people."
And now "Brother Charley has
announced pblicly that the "ordi
l'aiice is for a corporation wluct. is
furnishing an antiquated node of
transportation."
Meantime. "Brother Cha. ley's"
boom for governor on the demo
cratic ticket is under discussion in
Lincoln and elre v'nere in the state.
Machinery Used for
Irrigation Project
Destroyed by Blaze
Grand Island, Neb.. Aug. 25.
(Special Telegram.) The main ma
chine storage house on the irrigation
project of Kraft and Edgerton,.four
miles north of this city, Was totally
destroyed by fire of unknown origin.
Smoke was seen coming from the
big building and employes of the
ranch ran to the building to remove
the contents, but the fire had made
so much headway that little could
be saved.
The building was loO feet by 50,
built of wooden framework and til
ing sides. It contained seven tract
or engines, two touring cars, two
separators and tanks ,and mucii
minor machinery, such as plows and
cultivators.
The loss of Kraft & Edgcrton on
machinery, over insurance, is esti
mated at '$6,000. It is not known if
any insurance was carried on tiie
building, the owncr3 being residents
of Aurora.
It is believed that the fire origi
nated either from spontaneous com
bustion, or electric light wiring, but
there is no positive information to
establish either theory.

Over Stock Deals and
Check Total $29,090.
Lincoln, Aug. 25. (Special.) In
the last 48 hours the following legal
jolts have been the lot of Terry An
thony, a well-known Nebraska stock
man and stock salesman:
On Wednesday he was made dc
fenrlaiit in a Ufl WW suit filpii in T
caster district court against the Sar
vis Lumber company and himself by
Charles W. Brown, a Logan county
farmer, who claimed in his petition
that false inducements held out by
Anthony caused him to invest $10.

Leisveld and the Lincoln Auto and
Tractor company, Anthony was
made defendant in three suits aggre
gating $19,000 filed by Frank Nahley.
Julia Nahley and Martha Nahley oi
Hickman, who charge that Anthony
end Leisveld used "false and fraudu
lent" representations in getting them
to invest in the Lincoln school.
Thursday word was received in
Lincoln that a warrant charging that
Anthony wrote an "insufficient fund"
check ior $90 had been issued against
Anthony at Grand Island.

story of the $19,000 investment of
the three members of the Nahley
family, as outlined to court officers.
Nahley is a cripple and his two sis
ters are aged while, according to in
formation here, Leisveld was a mem
ber of the same church to which the

i
Lincoln, Aug. 25. (Special.)
With payment of taxes slow and
little revenue in the state treasury
promised in the near future, D. B.
Cropsey, state treasurer, in a letter
to Governor McKclvie today fore
casted the possible need of register
ing state warrants and paying inter
est until ihc treasury is repleted. He
also recommended the utmost econ
omy in the handling of various state
institutions during the lean months
and suggested curtailment of public
road work.'
The Cropsey letter shows that for
the quarter ending June 30, $4,866,
677.28 was collected and $4,001,519.55
was paid out, leaving only $865,157.73

the disbursements were $2,793,972.40.
making $861,675.08 more paid out
than was on hand.
"Daily payments," Cropsey said,
"have since April 1 been running
about $47,000 a day. From now on
until the next tax paying time the
receipts undoubtedly will be light
and, if the payments continue as
thev have for the last few months,
it won't take long to use up the
small balance in the treasury.'.
There is $1,391,721.35 in the treas
ury at the present time, Cropsey as

Man's Release Not
Due to Prosecutor
No Laxity ou Part of County
Attorney in Freeing of
Harry Thniison.
. 1
Lincoln, Aug. 25. (Special.)
Freeing of Harry Thompson from
the state penitentiary was not the re
sult of any laxity on the part of
County Attorney W. P. Cowan of
Stanton, who won Thompson's con
viction by a jury in that county.
A published story indicated that
Thompson was released from prison
after Cowan had failed to file a mo
tion for a new trial within 40 days
of the supreme court's reversal of
Thompson's conviction.
The fact is that the only proper
motion was one for a rehearing and
this could be made only by the at
torney general of the state. The
county attorney does not prosecute
criminal cases appealed to the su
preme court, that duty falling upon
the attorney general. County Attor
ney Cowan had no responsibility in
the matter and had no authority to
act.

THE unprecedented popularity of the NEW LlGHT

a degree of automobile value that the public has
sought for years. It is built complete in the great
Studebaker factories in South Bend. And the best
indication of its real worth today, is to be found in
the fact that, in the first six months of 1921, Stude

sold more cars than any other manufacturer in the
