MURPHY WILL WORK WITHOUT
THE AID OF FRANKLIN AUSTIN
Continued from Page L,

lsociation would be held that evening,
in order to prepare the financial state
ments. Ultimately the idea was to let
each club manage its own financial af-
| fairs, giving reports to the officers of
| the Association. AT present however
such action was prohibited according to
the charter, and besides the Association
was not prepared to take over the re-
sponsibilities of the different clubs
The meeting itself. If it could be
termed meeting, was rather long
one, lasting as it did from o'clock
till midnight, when the reports of Mr.
Austin and Mr.. Bancroft were at last
finished.

soldiers from Camp Mckinley dropped
in and diverted themselves. the direc-
tors of the club and a few others, who
were present, with music and songs
Bancroft came IN at about S:15 and he
and Austin settled down to work at a
small table, Uttered with the papers,
which had so OPPORTUNITY been found.

Murphy in one of the small rooms ad-

reports of the trustees. In the mean

Murphy the benefit derived by cutting

collected the funds themselves, they
desired to spend them themselves, and
not to have them barred by directors,

After a while they again adjourned
| to the stage, and killed time by play
| ing the piano and singing. Soon after
| this they left for a while to get a
meal, while Bancroft and Austin still
| worked away at the reports. When
they came back they resigned them
selves to patience, all eagerly awaiting
the time when the business would be-
gin. They waited, as stated, till mid
night, but with no result.
| The reports and statement by Mr.
Austin appear in the following. 1t will
| be seen that the statements agree with
neither of the detailed lists given here
tofore, though Austin congratulated
