REGENTS HEAR CONCLUSION.

When the news of the Senate COM
mittee's recommendations and con
clusion as to the regents being under
obligation to reimburse the university
to the full extent of McKowen's de-
falcation was received in the city the
finance committee of the university
was in session at the offices of Re-
gent Foster.
Foster had not yet seen the report
and when shown it said.
Any one saying that the Regents under
obligation to reimburse the funds would GER
tainly not know the law AS for responsi-
bility, no one prevent theft. 1t occurs in
business and if man wants to steal he IL

cover.
Regent F. w. Dohrmann said:
AS to- the first recommendation as to a
change in the financial system, tnat mas neen
in process ever since the defalcation became
known. An entirely new system was inaug-
urated which is now IN force and is being
closely watched with view of adapting it
more and more to the practical wants of the
university, as well as to the safeguarding
against recurrence OF defalcations on a.
The object-is to handle everything of uni

requirements. of university matters permit.

was the case under the old system and Mr..

AS to the committees conclusion that the
Regents are under obligation to reimburse the
funds of the University to the fun extent of
the defalcations by McKowen, I prefer not to
express an opinion With regard to the rec

The Senatorial committee was offered evil
dence on this subject. as l understood that
there had been charges made TO the contrary,
but the committee declined ito take up the
matter at all.
Regent Judge Charles w. Slack
was seen at his Office and when shown
the conclusion of the Senate commit

cations should be made good to the university,
and l am willing. and always have been to

would say however, that this is quite ire
spective OF any question of legal responsibility.
A number of other members of the Board of
Regents have felt the same way.

Interesting Experiment I'm a Restaur-
ant.


An advertising agent. representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent Western trip, was dining
one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no.
ticed the advertisement OF a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation. Stuart'S
Dyspepsia Tablets As he himself
was regular user of the tablets he
began specializing as to how many
of the other travelling men in the
dining-room were also friends Of the
popular remedy for Indigestion
He says: I counted twenty-three
men at the tables. and in the hotel
Office I took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made a
practice of taking one or two of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal
One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been obliged
to quit the road, but since using Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets he had been
entirely free from indigestion. but
he continued their use. especially
while travelling, on account of irregu-
larity in meals and because like all
travelling men. he was often obliged
to eat what he could get and not al
ways what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture OF
health. said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what ne pleased
and when he pleased without fear OF
sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs.
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had for
merly used common soda to relieve
the trouble. but the tablets were much
better and safer to use.
After smoking, drinking or other
excesses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to a healthy, wholesome condition so
effectuaIly as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives. pepsin, dias-
tase, which every weak stomach lacks.

BOND HAD EXPIRED.

The above irregularities are so glaring that
the auditor should have discovered the same.
and, even had the Regents examined the books
the irregularities would have been readily dis
covered.
the Board of Regents had fixed the amount of
the bond of the secretary at only $4,000 as Sc
curity against defalcation. but the board had
even allowed this bend to expire July J.,
1908 without rena xal of the same. The defal-
cation of the secretary was discovered in De-
cember of that year. In other words. the sec
retary without bonds for about six
months. We further find that upon the dis
covery of the defalcation the Board Of Re-
gents recovered from McKowen certain real
and personal property of doubtful value ap-
proximating $4,000: that the Pacific Surety
Company. which bonded the secretary has re
that it is exonerated by breach of the condi-
tions of the bond.
1t appears further, that in auditing the ac-
counts of the university neither the auditor
the Regents of the university made any
examination and have not to this day caused
an audit or examination to be made of the
treasurers books or the books of the medical
department 1t appears that II has been and
is now the custom for the treasurer to furnish
monthly statement of moneys received by
him and that former Secretary McKowen used
this statement from which to post his books.
Your committee further finds that the

manner or how the books should be audited
and took no steps to ascertain whether or not
the system of keeping the accounts was eff

The committee further finds that immediate
" after the said defalcation was discovered
the Regents employed expert bookkeepers to

the Regents have assumed an important trust

being that could have been avoided by the
ordinary care and diligence that the Regents
would have exercised in their own business

recommend that the proper proceedings be
taken to obtain reimbursement of the said
losses.

where the cost is not greater than the foreign
