Involved
In the Recent Failure of the

Are Missing.

, CHICAGO, April 1O.-Developments
have brought out the fact that far
greater amount of University of Hi.

at the Globe Savings bank, than has
been supposed. Two years ago the
state legislature appropriated $423, 900,
of which, according to the state laws.
enough was to be drawn out monthly
to meet the current expenses OF the
university. 1t appears, however, that
in consideration Of 21a per cent interest
on the funds the trustees allowed Treas
urer Spaulding to withdraw the whole
sum from the treasury. This is ad.
mitted by members of the board. Thus,
not only are 100000 worth of school
bonds missing, but $423,OOO in cash is
tiedsup, a total Of $S23,0OO. TO add to
the complications it is said that should
President Spalding be unable to &C.
count for the funds, his bondsmen will
resuse to be held responsible, their de.
fense being that private deal OF that
kind between the university baard, the
state treasury officials land Treasurer
Spalding is sufficient cause to release
them from their obligations.
