We Baptists are told by the Indeu that
Bessie Tiff owes debt Of 100000.
/ would pay that debt myself, if Uncle
Sam would cough up what is due me on
the Cotton Tax, at compound interest," for
nearly 80 years.
Concerning that 100000 debt, the I,edeg
says
Briefly stated, the status of Bessie Tiff Col
lege is: property valued at more than $20O, 900,
and debt of 100000. The debt consists of a
mortgage of $4,000, bearing 8 per cent per
annum, interest payable monthly, and sundry
notes and accounts. The College holds bonds
Siven for scholarships, endowment and equip
ment, aggregating about $40 900. It also holds
sundry notes and accounts for board and tuition,
aggregating several thousand dollars If all the
obligations to the College collected, the pro-
ceeds would pay every debt it owes, and leave
cash balance of more than $4,000. Nearly all
the bonds were given by Batists and nearly all
the accounts for board and tuition are owed by
Baptlsts. The presumption is that the bonds were
given in good faith, and certain it is they were
secured at no small expnse. Notes and accounts
for board and tuition made in good faith,
and certain it is the students received good and
wholesome instruction, and fed on food that
cost good money. These bonds ought to be paid,
either in cash or negotiable paper. So ought the
notes and accounts be paid About this, there is
re question: it is a question, however, as to
whether these obligations to the College will be
paid or not, and upon this question hangs the
destiny of the institution.
Now, Brethren, just be patient with me,

BISHOP CURRIER OPENS
GONZAGA HIGH SCHOOL
Urges Students Not to Permit Past
Shortcomings to Discourage
Future Efforts.

The Right Rev. Charles Warren Cur.
rier. Bishop Of Mantanzas. Cuba, was the
celebrant and the preacher at the for
NAL opening OF the Gonzaga College High
School yesterday morning.
The ceremonies took place in the new
college chapel and were attended by the
faculty. all the students and their rel
atives and friends. The music during
the services was rendered BY the ST

of Glenn w. Ashley.

Bishop Currier urged upon the students
the need OF retrospection and profitable
consideration OF past shortcomings so
that far from leading them to despond-
ency past failure should nerve them to
greater effort in the difficult task of aC-
quiring knowledge. He instanCed the
brilliant success derived by Bruce from
the example OF the spider whose perse-
verance over obstacles always ended in
victory. He also recalled Perry's victory
as the result OF persevering effort in the
midst Of seeming defeat and exhorted
them in words OF this immortal hero.

.ARMY-NAVY CONTEST
MAY BE CALLED OFF
Failing to Agree on Grounds, Football
Game Between the Teams Now
Seems Unlikely.
NEGOTIATIONS ARE ABANDONED

That there will be no football game be-
tween the teams OF the military academy
at West Point and the Naval Academy
at Annapolis now seems likely. In view
OF the failure Of the two athletic associa-
tons to agree upon arrangements for the
continuanoe of the annual game, Secre-
tary of War Garrison has advised the
West Point athletic authorities to aban-
don further negotiations for a contest.
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels Is in
clfned to believe this action by his col
league warranted by the situation.
The army proposed, backed by both
secretaries Garrison and Daniels, that
the two institutions alternate for ten
years in the choice of he city in which
the annual game was to be played, the
navy to begin this year. The only re-
striction was that no city north Of New
York nor south OF Washington was to be
chosen. The navy was likewise in favor
OF this plan. believing that the game
could be played in Washington. Efforts
to arrange for the game here, however,
have resulted in total failure. as the
baseball grounds are too small, and Con-
gress refused to make the necessary ap-
preparation for fitting Potomac Park for
the contest The navy held that to go
to Philadelphia one year and to New
York the next would put the burden of
travelling on the navy.
1t is possible that an agreement may be
reached to play the game on the respec-
tive academy grounds. despite the limited
accommodations at both institutions.

HALF-MILLION DAILY
SAVED HERE BY WAR
Money Which Ordinarily Would Be
Spent Abroad Finds Circulation
in United States.

Upward of $4,000 a day is being saved
to the United States by return OF Ameri-
cans to this country. according to COM
putations at the Department Of Com
merce.
1t is estimated that about 5000 Ameri-
ems are already home from Europe or on
their way. Placing their expenses abroad
at the low figure OF S a day, the money
which will remain in the United States
will total $I75,0OO daily. For about three
months Of the year the saving will ap-
proach more nearly 81 ,OO00OO daily. as the
expenditures of the more wealthy wish
tors to Europe far exceeds S a day.
1t Is estimated that those who visit Eu-
ropes health resorts annually leave more
than 800 10000 abroad. The expenses OF
Americans travelling for pleasure approx
mates $50 900 additional. Practically
all this money is expected to remain in
in the United States while the war is
going on. In addition to this great sum.
this country is importing but little from
abroad. while Europe will require great
quantities of all kinds from the United
States. This will cause the flow Of more
money TO this country. and II the war is
prolonged, the per capita supply OF
money in the United States will prob
ably exceed that of any period in history.
according the departments estimates.

TRUSTEES ACCOUNTS
MAY UNDERGO PROBE
Sweeping Investigation by Department
of Justice Also Likely Into
Referees In Bankruptcy.

The accounts OF all trustees and ref
erees in bankruptcy in the District Of
Columbia are due for a sweeping investi-
cation by the Department OF Justice, and
there is no telling at chs time where It
will end.
Irregularities are strongly suspected IN
many cases and before the investigation
is over scores Of banks may find their
books stacked up somewhere in the Dis
trict Supreme Court or the Department OF
Justice so that the authorities may closely
inspect the accounts OF every trustee and
referee IN bankruptcy.
Justice Stafford, of the District Supreme
Court, started the ball rolling yesterday
when he issued subpoenas duCes tecum
against a few banks. The names OF
these institutions were withheld, as were
the name Of the trustees or referee in
volved.
The Department OF Justice has been
delving into these records Of the District
Supreme Court for weeks to see how these
fiduciaries' accounts stand. and the fact
that the special investigator, ". S. Ward.
applied TO the court for the sUbpoenAS
after he had made certain Inspections is
taken as significant.
