Spaldng and Vice President A. -. Averill,
for whom warrants are also out have not
yet put In AN appearance. Developments
to-day have brought ont the facts that II
far greater amount Of University Of llli-
nois funds are involved in the suspension

Two years ago the state legislature APP
propratcd Si93.W0, OF which. according
to the state laws, enough was to be drawn
out monthly to meet the current expenses
of the university. Ii appears, however,
that in consideration OF q. per cent. inter-
est or the funds the university trustees
allowed Treasurer Spaldlug to withdraw
the whole sum from the treasury. This II
admitted by members of the board. Thus
not only 500 0O0 worth of school bonds are
missing but $4,000 cash Is tied up. to-
tai Of $4,000.
To add to the complications, II Is said
that should President Spalding be unable
