which, while it has not turned out a
winning team, has yet been more sue

to win her share of victories:
Everyone regrets that Reid will not

RESPONSIBILITY NOT FIXED
Former Treasurer Grimes Issues State
ment-Ready to Make Good if
at Fault.

Topeka. Kans., Jan. 1.-THE total
shortage in the Kansas state treasury
of about $4,000 is shown by the report
of Accountant Morris in the treasury
examination just closed, according to
a summary of the report prepared by
Gov. Z. w. Hoch, made public late yes
terday afternoon
The report covers all the tran sac
tions made by the state treasurers
from Jan. /. 1898. to June so 1905. in
Guiding the two full terms of former
State Treasurer Frank Grimes and one
term and six months of the administra-
ton of Thomas r. Kelly, the present
state treasurer. The larger part of the
shortage appears in the accounts of
office during the Grimes administration.
Of the total of SIS 900. $4,000 is due
to missing coupons from bonds owned
by the state school fund and $4,000 is
due to loss of interest on warrants is
sued by the territory of Oklahoma TO
the state of Kansas.
Grimes Denies Responsibility.
Former State Treasurer Frank L
Grimes issued a statement last night,
He absolutely denies any responsibility
for the shortage in Oklahoma warrant
interest and says he is able TO account
satisfactorily for all the bond coupon
shortages except $7,125. Mr.. Grimes
states that he is willing TO make good
any shortages he is responsible for
Mr.. Grimes puts the responsibility for
a number of serious discrepancies on c.
r. Richey. his chief clerk.
Aside from the shortage shown the
Morris report makes sensational dis.
closures concerning the erasure of the
state property stamp from the back

Progress In Settlement of Diff

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE
the seventh annual convention of the
United Mineworkers of America, i'll
session here, is to bring about stimuli
taneous expiration of contracts in both
the anthracite and bituminOus fields. 1t
is believed that ali other questions which
may arise will be made subordinate to
this by Mr.. Mitchell. 1t is known that
Mitchell's wish will be law with the
convention. and that so far as the min
ers can affect it the purpose of their
president will be carried out.
Hold Contract Back.
This will be accomplished by having
the signing of the contract in the bi-
luminous field held in allegiance until
the contract in the anthracite field has
been agreed upon The bituminous
contract will come up for drafting at
the interstate joint conference between
the miners and soft coal operators,
which will be held here Immediately
following the adjournment of the an
nual convention. While this joint con-
ference cannot ratify the wage scale,
the recommendations made by ii gen
orally prevail in the individual agree
ments adopted by the various state
conferences later.
Reports Progress; Chcered.
President Mitchells announcement
yesterday afternoon that satisfactory
progress is being made toward CON
ference between mine workers and op-
orators of the anthracite region, drew
cheers from the delegates. This an
nouncement was made in the course OF
the presidents annual report and ad
dress, almost as an incidental remark
There was no further explanation from
Mitchell. but the word of their chiei
was enough, and enthusiasm knew nc
bounds.
