With the adjournmento the final ses-

tion shall bc taken in relation TO this
shortage has been referred BY the bank
examiner to the comptroller Of the Cur
rency Of the U. $.
Mr.. George D. Kelly, the former cash
ierof The bank, who resigned few
months ago, insists that the apparent
shortage is wholly due TO errors in-book-
keeping, and thus far the directors Of the
bank and the government examiners
cannot determine whether the bank ever
had the money or not. The shortage, Of
error or whatever il was. occurred prior
to 1909. and since thai time the examina-
ton Of the books seems 10 show no dis
crepancy. It will be for the Comptroller
Of the Currency TO decide whether there i

dence. Many have children with
them and superinuend their educa-
ton; others take up special courses
of study and engage in church work.
Most of the women to be seen ex-
changing books in the little Carnegie
library are members of the colony,
and according to the librarian prob
lem novels and the works of Ibsen.
Ellen Key and Bernard Shaw are in
much demand.
The men who go to Reno usually
find work Of some kind TO relieve the
monotony of existence; some invest
money in mining ventures and others
take a hand at farming. There are.
however, plenty of poor people who
seek divorce and are glad to turn
their hands to work of any kind
Some men who would have scorned
to do manuel labor at home find
themselves roughing it in true west
ern fashion. A bookkeeper from
Brooklyn, for instance, found employ
ment as porter in one of the hotels
and the driver of a milk wagon had
OiCS Dc6H HOOF walker IN New
York department store.
The women who work their way to
freedom are even more numerous.
They are to be found behind the
counters in the stores, they tap type
writer's, they keep books, they teach
music, painting and dancing, they
cook. act as nurses and mattresses
and even scrub the floors with the
sole object of obtaining release from
marriage ties that have become in
tolerable.
The cost of Reno divorce ranges
from fifty to fifteen hundred dollars,
the latter sum being supposed to
cover moderate living expenses for
six months. travelling expenses and
legal fees. The minimum amount rep
resents the usual fee paid by the poor
divorce seekers, who work while
awaiting their DEGREES.
In spite of very general impress
sion, the Reno colcnists do not herd
together. but are scattered all over
the town.
