urday for himself and his vice cru
sade policy when the emergency board
authorized him to incur deficiency
of $500 for his law enforcement
work: authorized deficiency of $1,000
To be Offered for rewards in felony
cases, If the need arises; promised toI
give him more funds for his law en-
forcement activities II this $500
proves not enough. and adjourned to
meet again next Thursday, to consider
recommending to the next Legislature
that II reimburse the governor for
$500 he has paid out of his own
pocket in conducting his vice crusade
work since the $1,000 appropriation
for special agents became exhausted
June l2
For three hours the board was In

when minor requests were disposed
of, considering the vice crusade appro-
pria,ions. and at times there were in
tense moments
The governor told the members
that he positively knew OF efforts OF

ing 10 secure a grand jury indictment

At every stage of the meeting he
had things coming his way
Senator Dan Malarkey warmly es-
poused the governors policy OF law
enforcement He said II was good.
Speaker c. y. Macarthur said he
would not endorse the governors pol
icy, but he would vote to give him
funds TO continue II.
State Treasurer Kay, who has beer
opposed to the governors methods
voted for the deficiency but strenu'
ously opposed every move to approve
in any way the expenditure of thu
$500 the governor has taken from
his own pocket.
Senator T. l. Perkins and Repre-
sentative J. d. Abbott voted agains
allowing the deficiency, while Secre
tary of state Olcott voted for II, max
ing the vote to . in its favor.
In his original resolution. the gov
ernor asked for S2500 for his law en-
forcement work. and not to excee,
S2500 upon which to draw in case tn
emergency arose for offering a re

extraction. She has moved all the ma
chinery she can to get her children
acknowledged as other royal children. but
in vain. The Emperor is firm: her eldest
son cannot reign. But when the war has
remodelled the empire, things may he
easier. So she, too, is for a speedy war
against the Slavs.
The Emperor places much confidence in
his Polish subjects. .They will not fight
against me- he always says. ~ have
treated them well, and they are Russia $
bitter enemies, because Russia oppresses
their brethren in the Russian empire.

To great extent the old Emperor is right
here. His Polish subjects. though Slavs,
have hitherto been loyal just because
Russia, though anxious to protect brother
Slavs in Austria and the Balkans, op-
presses the Poles, denying them rights of
citizenship. However, Russian statesmen
are beginning to talk about the Polish
question. and many openly admit that it
