Most Of the money was lost at the

pended by President Wheeler and
placed under arrest by the local au-

rest followed the discovery that he had
attempted to pay racing debt with a

"From what we have thus far
learned it appears that McKowen at

sums of money that came into his

with the treasurer either as fees or
donations of the university has appro-

expenditures under the head of one or
