ARE HELD UP
Can Money Derived From Sale of Land Granted
institutions for Specific Purpose Be Used
to Repay Loans Which Will Be Used for
General Purposes.
TREASURER VAUGHN WANTS
A RULING BY THE COURT

Payment of several of the appropria-
tions made by the last legislative as
sembly will not be made until a ques-
ton raised by Territorial Treasurer j.
H. Vaughn in regard to the loans au-
thorized to DE made to the public insti-
tutions has been passed on by the
courts. The refusal to make the loans
until the law is construed by the court,
priations.
The appropriation law as passed by
the legislature, authorizes the loan of
certain amounts to certain territorial
institutions and states that these loans
shall be repaid from the sale of lands
allotted to the institutions. The ques-
tion raised by Treasurer Vaughn is
whether or not money derived from the
sale of these lands can properly be used
to repay such loans. 1t is his belief that
these lands We're granted the territory
for the use of the institutions named
in the United States law, for specific
purposes and that money derived from
the sale or lease of these lands can on
ly be applied to the purpose named In
the law. If money is loaned to the In
stitutions to be expended for any pur-
pose and for purposes other than those
specified, the treasurer does not be-
lieve it can be repaid from money de-
rived from the sale of lands any more
than the money derived from sale or
lease of lands could be directly eXpen-
ded for purposes other than those
specified in the law. The treasurer
cannot see the difference between a di-
rect expenditure of money for purposes

contrary to those contemplated by the
United States government and an indi-
rect expenditure of the same amounts
of money by taking it through the ter
ritorial treasury. The institutions have
commenced to clamor for their money
under the appropriations, but it will
be some time before they are paid.
The legislature dipped into every
sinking fund in making the appropria-
tions and, in order to keep the books
straight, it has been customary to
create q provisional indebtedness fund
after Il Legislature adjourns, from
which the appropriations are paid
This fund is created by transferring to
it monies from other funds and from
the fund SO created all appropriations
are made. Any surplus after paying
the appropriations, is distributed
among the funds which originally con-
tributed to the provisional indebted
ness fund. This fund is usually in ex-
istence q bout siE months. Should the
transfers be made to this fund at the
present time, there would be about
$155,oo0 in the provisional indebtedness
fund OF this amount 100000 would be
from the capitol building
bond sinking fund and the balance
from various funds.
The transfer Of none of the money to
this fund has been made and it proba~
bly, will not be authorized until the
question at issue IS determined. In
the meantime the institutions will
have to wait for their money and with
them other claimants for wnom appro-
priations have been made in the law.

If the Suit for Divorce
Was Not Withdrawn.
the REPORT OF CITY CHEM.
IST HILL WAS READ

Buffalo, N. Y, March 26.-When the
inquest into the murder of Edwin L.
Burdick was resumed this morning the
expectations We're, that it would end
today unless unforeseen sensations
should develop in the final examina-
tion of witnesses. -
Mrs. J. D. Hull, mother of Mrs. bur
dick, the Rev. L. M. Powers, pastor of
the Church of the Messiah, which the
Burdiclas attended, and City Chemist
Herbert M. Hull will testify. Rev.
Powers recently made a statement over
his signature defending Mrs. Hull and
accusing Pennell, then dead, with the
murder of Burdck 1t is said, howev-
er, that it was not SO much on account
of this accusation that he was subpoan-
aed, but because he was Burdick's pas
tor. He knew the murdered man well.
Burdick, it is said, had talked to him
/ of his troubles and of Pennell and ev-
en- of the letters Pennell had written
to Mrs. Burdick.
kew. POWerS was the 1fSt Witness.
He had had many talks with Burdick
concerning the domestic affairs of the
latter. Burdick had told him every
thing that had so far come out and
also that Pennell had threatened to
commit suicide If the divorce suit was
not withdrawn. Mr. Powers was then
excused.
The report of Chemist Hull made this
afternoon, shows that no poisons were
found in the liquor bottle found on the
table in Burdick's den on the morning
of the murder There was no poison in
the stomach. There is no blood stains
on the golf stick.
The inquest adjourned until p. m.
Nothing of interest was developed this
morning. The taking of evidence is
practically ended. After the recess was
declared, the district attorney said:
cat this time know of no other wit
ness who will be called at the after
noon session. The report of City Chem
ist Hull was to have been read this
morning and recorded in the minutes of
the inquest. I shall do that this after
noon. Mr.. Hull will not take the
stand"

its plan of merging all it's constituent
companies, practically abolishing the
subdivisions of the general corporation
and having the parent concern become
the operating as we'll as the stock
holding concern. This plan will do
away with the individual organizations
such as the Carnegie Steel Company,
the American Sheet Steel Company, the
American Tin Plate Company, the Ma
tional Tube Company, the Federal
Steel Company, the American Bridge
Company and all underlying concerns
operated separately. 1t will also sim
plify matters considerably and by ar
ranging them as departments of the
general corporation, there will be prac-
tically no change in the methods, while
a tremendous saving in capitalization
tax will follow.

NOTHING IN IT.
King Edward Seems to Be In the Best OF
Health and Spirits.

London, March 26.-The vague sug-
gestion of the Liverpool Post that King
Edward is in poor health and suffers
from depression, does not find confir-
nation in we'll informed quarters. The
King is frequently seen in public and
is apparently in health and spirits. He
went to visit the Earl of Derby at
Knowsley Park, Lancashire, and will
go to see the grand national steeple
chase at Liverpool tomorrow. He will
start on Monday next for Lisbon and
thence will go on yachting tour.
Queen Alexandra is to leave the same
day to spend three weeks at Copenhag-
en-, which is hardly compatible with the
suggestion that King Edward is in i'll
health.
