GOV. RALSTON IS WORRIED BY FUND
 CREDITED TO HIM

T,5ianapolis. Dec 12-Gov. Ralston has s5e1945s on deposit to his credit Fl q local bank, and is worried about what he can do with the money. He ean.t spend it. and as it would be. a hopeless task to try to give 1t back to Inc thousands of persons who contri- f,uted the amount, he said today that .het he probably would ask the next session of the Legislature to aid him .n finding a way to dispose of the money
 The money is part of the fund con- Eributed for the relief of flood suf- ferers in Indiana during the spring of this year. The fund originally amount ed to $141,0Ss, and $59,194 was not used
 The money was sent to the relief fund by persons living in all parts of the United States, and, when the ques- ton of returning the unusued part was brought up, it was found impossible, for many of the names of the donors have been lost.
 The fund draws 4 per cent. interest and is increasing at the rate of about $2,200 a year. Gov. Ralston said the State had no claim on the money and that he would call in some bankers and discuss with them the question of it's disposal. If no action is decided upon, the Governor will ask the 1915 Legislature to take charge of the money.

was an invalid without expectation Of
