WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE senate
finance committee today resumed
hearing on Canadian reciprocity bill

dent of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association, being called to

startled the the committee by chal-
longing one of his statements as an
"absolue falsehood."' Senator McCum.
ber's action brought quick protest
from Senators Stone and Bailey, who
declared that the newspapers Of the
country and publishHrs association had
not attempted to suppress facts to
color stories sent to Washington on
the subject of reciprocity when Sena'
tor McCumber interrupted with the
charge of falsehOod. Several senators
insisted that Senator McCumber's re-
mark should be stricken from the rec
ords. Senator McCumber agreed to
have his remark changed SO as to

Examiner Andrew Fitz, today as
sumed charge of the university treas
Jury. While the public examiner and
expert accountants employed by the
board of regents are checking up the

and county attorney are continuing the
investigation of the alleged ROBBERY.
1t was announced today by Chief Meal
'ey and County Attorney James Rob-
ertso, that complaint may be is'
sued soon charging embezzlement OF
the money, which Bren' asserts was
stolen. The locking up Of Bren fol-
lowed the police examination Of Mrs.
William Eddington. Mrs. Eddington
told the police that she was a friend
of Mr.. Bren. that she had gone to
theatres and restaurants with him,
and that she had key to his personal
safety deposit box in the Northwest
ern National Bank. In this box were
kept the funds of the university ath-
letic association, of which Bren was
treasurer and the funds and accounts

that he occasionally kept other univers-
ity funds in it He said he had given
Mrs. Eddington key simply as a

be asked to explain why he gave a
woman friend the key to the safety
deposit box in which he kept the funds
belonging to the university athletic
association. Why he kept large sums
belonging to the university in safety
deposit boxes. Why he walked along
a secluded river bank in carrying
$4,000 to the university. If it IL not
true that in carrying the athletic as
ISOLATION and other funds to and from
banks, that he had usually ridden in

ors which have flooded the campus
since Bren reported the robbery and
from the investigations Of the police

come two tangible developments.
Bren is held by police, who question
his story Of the holdup. University
and State authorities will make
