warded to the state department $2,355,
United States gold coin, to be placed to the
credit OF the Garfield memorial hospital

amount were contributed by Chinese
friends of Denny, who, in forwarding their
subscriptions. said they would be most
happy to head Chinese circular and send

knowledge OF any charges. This is mere
quibble.. The statement made was that the

them access to the records of the depart
ment before the prosecuting officers had an
opportunity to examine them. The opin-

tarv French. 1t is said good deal OF
evidence can be found against Supervising
Architect Hill.
