RECOVERY IS DOUBTFUL
RussO-Chfnesc Bank Likely 10 Lose
Stocks and Bonds Taken by
Cashier.

New York. July 27.-The gentle
mans" agreement between the Russo
Chinese bank and it's missing cashier,
Erwin Wider, who is accused of en-
bezzling 100000 worth of stocks and
bonds, expired today, when the dis
trfct attorneys office was requested
TO take action and a private detective
agency was put on the case.
The bank Is now pretty well con-
WINGED that all the huge sum stolen
has vanished beyond recovery. A sto-
~ that Wider had a power OF attorney
from the bank finds full credence in
Wall street and II was also asserted
today that many OF the certificates he
disposed OF were still in blank when
they vanished.
II this can be proven IL will make the
task of recovery from brokers addi-
tionally difficult. Thus far there is
nothing TO indicate that any Of the
certificates were filled In with forged
signatures.
No suits against brokerage houses
have been begun.

Announcement From Washington
The census bureau at Washington
yesterday announced that salt Lake
pays higher per capita for the main
tenance OF its schools than any other
city In the United States. This has
been an established fact for years. just
as 70 has been known that the state
pays between $4,000 and $4,000 each
system According to the census bu-
reau. the per capita is SS.1S, which
means thRf each one Of an estimated
toward the support Of the schools.
This announcement OF the census bu-
reau Of SS-1S Is not regarded by school
authorities IN Salt Lake as being fair,
for the reason that IL is based upon an
estimated population Of two years ago.
and Is computed with the actual eNpen-
dtture OF that year. minus the amount
spent for school bonds.
In the year 1908 9O9. for which the
official figures of SS.tS are given. the
city schools spent S56s.S24.74. OF which
S357.sO5-27 went for instruction alone.
In addition to this, the schools spent
$3.50 900 on bonds. which is not drawn
reaU. Superintendent u. II. Christensen
Of the city schools said last night that
this amount Of bond money should have
been added to the total OF current eX-
pense for instruction and maintenance
and supplies.
Per Capita Expense.
Had this been computed, the per
capita Of SS.1S would have been ma
terially increased This per capita was
reached by a computation Of estimated
population OF a little less than SO.c01.
This shows one pupil to about four
