REPLIES TO BRISTOW.
Ashurst Clears Himself of Kansan's
Charge of Misuse Funds.

Washington, July 23.-In reply to
Senator Bristow's charges that he had
spent as much as 800 day sending
kilograms at public expense regarding
private affairs, Senator Ashurst today
addressed the senate, denying he had
misused public funds. He read tele-
grams he had sent regarding an ad-
visory election for federal judge, the
release of John Kenneth Turner in
Mexico and the irrigation conference
in Washington. He insisted that they
dealt with public affairs and he Of
fered to pay for them if the senate
committee on contingent expenses
would decide they were not official

grams dealt with public matters, his

Last winter Howe was slated for
the superintendency of the Hutchin-

refused to vacate. Howe had been in
charge of Governor Hodges's pub
licity work during the primary cam
paign of a year ago and the state
executive offered the Dickinson coun-
ty senator the place on the board of
control when F. NJ. Brady resigned to
enter the federal service. Since the
appointment of Howe, charges were
filed against Amrine and his case will
be finally determined when the board

IS LOSING MONEY CHICAGO BANK RUN
Kansas Is Being Deprived of
Interest Due 1t.
School Officers Have Been
Holding Out on State.

Kansas IS losing $4,000 in interest
every year through failure of school
district. city and county treasurers to
observe the law regarding the pay
ment of bonds. according to a state
ment made today by State Treasurer
Earl Akers. A circular to be issued
from the state treasurer's Office this
week will advise the county, city and
district officials regarding the payment
of bonds and this notice is expected
to swell the deposits in the state
treasury
1t is proba BILE that the present system
has been in practice in Kansas for
many years and as a result the state
has lost good many thousa nds of dol
lars that should have been paid through
the fiscal agency TO the interest a.
count. Take for example a country
school district. which votes $4,000 for
a new school house. The annual pay
ments are provided for in the tax levy
and the money has then been turned
over to the district treasurer, who him
self pays the bonds instead of sending
the money to the state treasury fou de-
posit until the bonds mature and should
be paid from the state house. By this
practice the state has lost the use OF
probably a million dollars annually.
Akers believes. Not all of this money
would have been on deposit through
out the year, but the bulk of the funds
would have been in the treasury for
sixty or ninety days and in some in
stances for a longer period.
Now this money in the state treasury
is distributed among the state de-
positories and draws three per cent on
daily balance. A million dollars on de-
posit in the treasury for ninety days
each year would have meant s., 500 to
he rar= iy,+a 10
requires that the money be sent 70 the
treasury. but this provision of the
tatuteS has been overlooked by many
OF the treasurers, who have left the
money on deposit in local banks. These
individual deposits We're generally for
small sums and in the majority OF
instances did not draw interest. In the
end the local treasurer has been COM
PEELED to do considera bic extra work
which would have been eliminated by
observing the law and the state has
lost the interest.
1T is remarkable the number of
cases of this kind which have come to
our attention said State Trea surer
Akers today. Probably one-third %
the school district and city trea surers
OF the state have taken the RESPONSE
bility of paying off the bonds them
selves instead of sending the money to
the state treasury TO have the oonds
cancelled here in the regular and legal
manner. This practice has meant a loss
of perhaps $4,000 a year to the state:
and the habit of assuming the respon-
sibility of paying of the bonds occurs
among some of the county treasurers
