STATE FUND Low.
Governor Hodges Answers T'ulley by
Recess Argument.

Complaint has been made by Mark
Tulley, former state treasurer, to the
effect that Governor Hodges violated
the state law when he did not insist
that the letting of state funds be made
within the sixty days required by law
after the July session of the treasury
examining board. The delay in letting
funds. it is explained by the governor,
was due to the discovery of a pro-
vision in the state law which changed
the manner of letting bids. This law,
interpreted by the attorney general,
called for recess of the board and
the state funds will not be let until
Monday.
The original date set for letting the
funds was September ,. But several
memb ers of the board were out of the
state at that time and recess was
taken until September 8. AT that time
the attorney general called the atten-
ton of the board to a provision which
allowed state banks to bid more than
three per cent for state funds. As the
state bids had been limited to three
per cent, the board recessed until
September p to permit the filing of
supplemental bids by the state banks.
The recess was made necessary to
give the state banks an equal Oppor-
tunity with the national banks in bid
ding for state funds" said Governor
Hodges, land the funds will be let
next Monday without in any manner
violating the law as is claimed by Mr..
Tulley"

Farmers Movement to Obtain Better
Distribution of Money.

Washington, Sept. 1s.-Secretary
McAdoo and Senator Smith of South
Carolina brought a committee from
the Farmers Education and Coopera
tive union of America. to discuss with
President Wilson possible changes in
the regulations for the distribution of
the $5O,000,000 treasury fund for
crop movements. The committee was
appointed at a recent convention of
the National organization at Salina,
Kan.
The visitors presented to President
Wilson resolution setting forth that
they were convinced that neither in
amount nor in conditions laid down
by the secretary of the treasury nor in
the regulations proposed by receiving
banks will more good come to the
farmers, unless certain changes are
made.
The committee advocated the fund
itself be increased materially and that
with drawalS be made every two
months instead of monthly.

HIS CHURCH IS SOLD.
President Wilson Is Without a Place
to Worship.

Washington, Sept 1S.-President
Wilson is without a church, the edi-
flee in which he has been accustomed
to worship since he entered the
White House having been sold to a
negro congregation. The sale was
completed today when the Mount
Carmi Baptist congregation took over
the edifice of the Central Presbyterian
church. The latter congregation will
build another structure in a more de-
sirable neighborhood.
The church which was established in
1868 for some time had been losing
in mem bership because of its location.
Situated in what originally was the
center of the residence district, it
lived to see it's members gradually
crowded out of their homes and re-
move to distant parts of the city. The
sale then was inevitable.
President Wilson. it was reported
today, probably will join some other
Presbyterian congregation until the
Central church is established in its
own home, when he will renew his
membership. Work on the new struc-
ture, which will be erected in a fash
ionable residence section will be COM
menced at once.

DIVORCE QUESTION.
Muchly Married Mans Case Causes
Mixup in Shawnee Court.

When a man already married mar
ries again, one would suppose that IT
would not take the second woman long
to secure an annullment of her mar
riage, but the legal steps are not as
we'll defined a s might be expected. The
new divorce proctor law is what raises
a question of the correct proceedings.
That an annulln1ent can be secured
there is question. but the question
of how it should be done caused a
temporary halt in the case of Mrs.
Walter Guy of North Topeka. which
was called in the first division of the
district court this morning.
Applicati ton for annullment of the
marriage was made direct to the court
without being referred to the divorce
proctor. Whether it should have been

ket value represented by this decline
is nearly S70,000,000. The stock rail-
lied a point after touching s5h and
no more offerings were pressed for

The long decline in the shares, ex-
tending back more than year, grew
out of the various difficulties, finan-
cial and otherwise, of the New Haven
system. and the reduction in the divi-
dend from to per cent. The inti-
nation given recently by Howard Ell

tenn, that a further reduction might
