ary Of $500 year, was developed
last night by the senate committee ap
pointed to investigate the affairs o.
the state treasurer's Office with specia
reference to the operations of the
state depositary law. The committee
farther learned that the interest on de
posits collected by the state last veal
amounted to $S5,S9S. The committee
was under the impression that all feet
in the state treasurer's office had beer
done away with when the law fixint

two years ago.
McKinnon claimed the fee was
drawn under authority of an old law
which, he claimed, was not repealed
by the new salary law. He said Sec
retary of State Thompson had giver
an opinion that he had legal righl
to the fee. The question will be
passed up to the attorney general fol
an opinion. The committee demanded
to see the books of original entry
showing the distribution of deposits ir
banks, but McKinnon said the infor
nation obtainable from these would
all be contained in printed report
which he was preparing to submit tc
the house. He declared the commit
tee was only there by sufferance.
The committee has employed G. A
Lothman, an expert accountant o!
Cleveland. to examine the books and
the committee will go to the state
treasurer's Office to-day with MIR
Lothman. prepared to put him tc
work.

MIND SHARES
 OF FADERLAND
Investigating a Case of
 BrpinStOrm
The Subject, a Beautiful Girl Under Death Sen tence tor Murder.

Dresden, July 1S.-German psychol- Ogists are puzzled over the eXtraord- mary case of Crete Beir. the pretty blue eyed daughter of the late burgo- master of Freiberg, who Is apparently quite sane, but has been convicted af- ter confessing to deliberately murder ing her fiance and forging two wills and other documents. The girl has been sentenced to death, but a petition is being circulated for the commuta- ton of the sentence.
 This extraordinary girl murdered her fiance, Engineer Pressler, by mixing cyanide of potassium with a glass of cOgnac and then made his death more certain by firing two re- volver shots into his mouth as he lay unconscious. At her trial she coolly confessed how she committed the crime, but did not seem to feel the slightest remOrse. She listened to the death sentence with the same calm composure she had shown during the trial
 The mental experts under whose care she had been placed gave re- markable evidence of her behavior while in an asylum. She was not on Iy absolutely normal in her bearing but displayed an unusually bright intellect and even evidence of humane feelings. No traces of hysteria or epi- lepsy were to be found in her.
 The only explanation of her crimes is that she became the victim of an uncomfortable passion, a brain storm" She had only become engag- ed to Pressler out of picque because of a quarrel with another man, Merker, whom she loved passionately. and to whom she handed over the money she had obtained by forgery and theft, but who betrayed her to the police: The whole case is one of the most sen sational dramas ever known in this country

race, in all of which the American team will add to it's score. These events are the standing jump. the run ming broad jump. the high jump. the pole vault. the 100. 200. 400 and 500 meter flat races, the no and 400 meter hurdles, and the relay race.
 While of course the Americans real ize that none of these will be a walk over, they do not fear their European competitors as much as they do the two Canadians, Kerr the sprinter who has easily beaten everyone he has met in England, and Archibald the clever vaulter. If the Indian, Longboat. is allowed to run in the Marathon, as it is believed he will be. it is likely that the prize in this event will again go to Canada.
 There is a lot of money being bet on the result of the Marathon. the Englishmen freely backing A. Duncan. of the Sanford Harriers, and T. Jack, another smart long distance man, while the Canadians are ready to sup port the Indian almost to any amount The course is exactly 26 miles and 3S yards. The prizes will be distributed on July 25.

They Cannot Equal the Score of the Fng-
 fish in all Events
But They Expect to Maintain the Championship In Field SpOrts-The TwO-FOld Handicap Under Which the United States Has LabOred.

London, July 19.-The United King dom, which before the opening of the olympic games at the stadium had a big lead over all the other nations in the number of wins in the contest for supremacy in all sports, most of which, however, were scored in com petitions in which no other nation took part, almost doubled it's lead the past week and furthermore overlook the American team in the count for track and field events.
 James E. Sullivan, the American commissioner said to the Associated Press this evening: "We are here to win the championship in field sports and are going to do it despite the handicap from which we are suffering. This handicap has been two fold. In the first place the men came to a country having the worst possible climate for those unused to it. An other handicap against us, with which We had to contend, vas the manner in which the heat drawings have been computed. Drawings have gone against us in the 15OO meter race, in which our best men, Sheppard and Halstead were pitted against each Oth- CT. The same thing occurred in the 500 meter event. the heats of which will be run off tomorrow. Sheppard and Halstead were drawn against each other for the second time. Bromilow and Ramey have been put into a heat together in that event, while in two other heats in the 500 meter race not single American has been drawn. It is rather eXtraordinary bad luck that the manner in which the drawings have been made has resulted in such unfavorable conditions for the Amer icans- We tried to find out how the drawings were conducted. but have not been able to get anything from the amateur athletic officials except the reply that the drawings had been made in the usual way" Sullivan concluded by saying: "The United Kingdom had it's innings in the dis tance events last week. The Americans will have their turn this week in sprints. hurdles. and jumps"
 The men who uphold the supremacy of America in these sports have been training at Brighton. It will be impos- siDle to surpass the United Kingdom in the total wins in all sports, but the Americans expect very early in the week to wipe out the lead of fourteen points in the score of field sports which the United Kingdom holds over them. The figures up to Sunday ac- cording to the American method of computing field and track events are: United Kingdom 54, America 40. Eleven events still remain to be con tested, exclusive of the Marathon

A BRITISH
 NAVAL BASE Squadron to be Stationed
 North of Scotland Proposed Reduction of the Strength of the Channel Fleet.

London, July 19.-In order to bring the organization of the British navy more into line with the strategical conditions of today an important re- distribution of the fleet will be made early next year.
 The Channel fleet is to be reduced from it's present strength of fourteen battleships and six armored cruisers, and the vessels withdrawn from it with some others added to them will, be constituted into a new squad ron, to be known probably as the North Sea squadron and stationed off the north of Scotland.
 The war base of the new fleet will be Cromarty Firth and as soon as Rosyth is ready that port will be utilized as it's store and repairing base. The strength of the North Sea squadron has not yet been decided on but it will probably include four battleships and four armored cruis- CTS. It is not regarded as impos- sible however that it may be com posed of armored cruisers only. The constitution of a squadron to guard the north about" route out of the North Sea has been ad- vocated for some time. In the event of hostilities there would be only two possible ways for a foreign fleet to reach the open sea, one through the Straits of Dover and down the English Channel and the other round the north of Scotland.
 The first of these routes is all ready adequately guarded by the fleet hV the Channel fleet and by the reserve divisions of the Home fleet which would be able to get to sea at least in part before any foreign fleet alter passing the Straits of Dover could get to the west of Plymouth. The souadrons combined number 32 bat tleships. 15 armOred cruisers and more than 100 torpedo boats and destroyers.
 Ii has long been argued that no foreign fleet attempting to reach the Atlantic from the North Sea would trv the Channel route and 1t to pc ready to give fight to an enemy try ing to get around Scotland that the admiralty has at last decided to form tbe new squadron which will prac- ticallv turn the North Sea into
 
 mare clausum, which cannot De el- tered or left by any foreign fleet against the wishes of the British naval authorities.
 With regard to the strained rela- tions between Lord Charles Beres- ford and Sir Percy Scott, there are well informed persons who will not be surprised to find that the lorIler is only awaiting the conclusion ol the great naval maneuvers of Whlch he is in supreme command before nIacing his resignation in the hands of the authorities. -
 If this should be true and there is every reason to believe 1t ls' Lord Charles will undoubtedly begin a merciless crusade against the naval noIicv of the government and seek an early opportunity to return to the house of commons.
