March DC.-tSpleclal.l-T he s v8tatc Board of Control takes exception to statements made by The Bee's Lincoln coi respondent regarding tho exiicnses of running the state penitentiary, compared to the cost before the present adminis tration came Into power, and In a long nrtlcle published In Lincoln papers seeks to show that The Bee correspondent was In error when he said the cost had not muterlally lowered since the board of control came into being. The chairman of tho board, to prove llial rue uce corresponaem was mis token, offers statements of tho convict Mnrlcy. who whs one of tho ringleaders ill the prison outbreak two years ago, and quotes him as snylng that under the old conditions the prisoners were liable to break loose any time, whllo under present condition))' they are satisfied to stay within the prison walls. This brings up again tho question of whether a man who breaks the law H put in the Peni tentiary for punishment or made to make him so plcuscd with his surroundings that he will regret to loavo the institu tion.' I'cr t'nplln flint I iiercuarn. .lust to keep the record straight as to the cost of running the penitentiary, the reports in the governor's office show ' that November 30, 1012. Just befoie the iieecnt administration took charge, the per capita cost was 9103. Tho report Tor November 00, 1913. four months after the board of control took charge, shows tha per capita cost as $143.65. Thus accord ing to tho warden the per capita cost was then JIS more tlrnn It was for the same period under the republican admin iteration. As indicating what Warden Fcrlon might do It left to his own re- sources, on April l. 1913, after air. ftaton hud been In charge of the penitentiary two months, tho per capita cost, accord ing to his report to tho governor, was only SS6..X1. Thro months late, after tHi; board of control had managed the insti tution four months, the per capita, had risen to $14!).fir, of $63.30 more than when the warden had things all hla own way. The board objects to the comparison tit one month of 1912 with the samo month of 1914. To avoid possible mislead ing comparisons, tho records of the state auditor, where all warrants are drawn, have been consulted, and a longer period taken to show Just what the Institution was costing.

Will) n iierieiencv created at mo cna ui ..i'"-..- ' which necessitated a deficiency approp riation. Therefore It may bo well to go back to the first tlx months of 1912 be fore the deficiency was created. For the six months beginning January 1, 1912, and ending Juno 1X, 1912, the books of tho auditor's office show expenses of J.5,721.71, still less than the six months under the board by J4.623.93. As to the population of the prison, re ports of the warden on file with the gov ernor show that for February, 1914, there were 039 prisoners and In February, 1912, 4M prisoners, or ninety-four fewer pris oners to support last month than the, tame month two years -.ago. That the prison population Is continually changing Is well known. When the board took liargo July 1, 1913, there wero 351 pris oners In the pen, while for the same month of 1912 there were seventy-one more, or a total of 422. The average number of prisoners for the six months ending May 31, 1913, the time at which semi-annual reports aro made, was'378, while for'the same period .of 1912 it was 41G, being eighty-eight more than under thi present Administra tion. The scmi-annunl report made No vember 30, 1913, after tho board of con t nil took charge, showed the number of prisoners as,347, while for the same per iod under tho former administration the number was 403, bring fifty-elght more, and still the penitentiary Is costing more to run with all the way from fifty-eight to ninety-four prisoners less that It did under tho old administration. Homal In llxipiiNes, Tho boaid further explains a deficiency lmd to be oted by the last legislature of KP0C0 to pay up outstanding accounts. In this the board Is correct, but It is a wrl known fact that the outbreak of prisoners in March. 1912. was responsible for much of the running behind of the Institution, the boost In salaries made immediately aer the outbreak and the increase in guards, running the mlilnl expense up to nearly tl,W a month for thf balance or the blennlum. Added to this was the cost of having the militia at the pen, the cost of feeding them and other thing Incident to the outbreak. Great credit sholuld 1 given Warden Kenton for his work at the ponltentlary. As shown by the figures on per eapltu cost, he brought down the cost per pris oner to the lowest it had been for some Utiio In the six 'months )e was running under tho old board of public lands and buildings, but as soon as the Board of Control took charge, for some reason the cost per prisoner Jumped up about 73 ner cent, or to be explicit, from $S.35 to 11?G5, If the reports to ' the governor nade by the warden himself are correct. The proposition is not one of criticism of thb Individual members of the board, but a question whether the state Is gain ing as much thtough the creation of the ooard as It should. from ragged house costume to elnboratc evening grown drew rounds of applause, lilvr MiikIchI I'mgrnui, In the afternoon the otiera muslcale was given by Mr. and Mrs. Mars E.

Mr. and Mrs. Obcrndorfer are traveling In advance of the opera com- Pftny, giving these recitals for the pur pose of explaining by short method Just how beautiful ti story "Thais" really is and how much tho music can accentuate the dellghttuluess of the story.

Speuklng of her work Mrs. Oberndorfor said: "Wo try to give a condensed ver sion of the npern in an hour. We try to explain by Iho reudlng of the story of "Tlutls." But wc do not mnko unneces sary analysis nor make our recitals dull and uninteresting.
