mittee to proceed. with the investiga-
tion as WHOLE, but after brief dis
cussion it was rejected by a vote Of

were Messrs. Bailey and Paynter,
Democrats and Hepburn. Republican.
When the list was read Messrs. Clapp
and Sutherland voluntarily retired in
favor Of Messrs. Kenyon and Jones.
Contending for the rule of seniority,
Mr.. Bailey suggested that Messrs.

ed out that both of those senators
were ineligible because in the previ-
GUS inquiry they had voted for Lori

to conclude the work during the ex-
ira session.

Opinion of Banker.

An official of the st. Anthony Falls
bank, to which Bren says he went
first last Friday morning, the day Of
the robbery, to get some checks
cashed, called up Comptroller George
H. Hays, according to the latter's
statement, advised that private de-
teetaves be- employed and asserted
belief In Bren's innocence. At the
same time the official severely criti-
cized the police for not attempting
to ferret out the robbery.
Police and university officials have
laid great stress on the fact that
Bren says he went first to the st.
Anthony Falls bank, cashed some
checks there, took the money away
with him and got some more at the
Northwestern bank, the whole of
which he intended to return and de-
post In the st. Anthony Falls bank.
That doesn't seem q bit peculiar
to me, for that's just the way Bren
has been doing business for years."
Hayes said yesterday. II don't
blame any one for being suspicious OF
the mani am suspicious of him, but
l have no evidence that he has done
any wrong"
Both DR.. Vincent, Hayes and men,
bers of the board of regents assert
that 1t was not the result of any sus-
picion Of misuse Of the university's
funds that Bren was told his services
would not be needed next year, but
dissatisfaction with the methods he
employed In conducting the business
Of the office.
