REGRETS COLLEGE CLOSING.
President Winters Sees Nothing in
Future for Local School.

President Winters of Dallas col
lege, in conversation with The OBJ
server yesterday, expressed regret
over the educational institution being
forced to close its doors, and also
because those connected with it are to
leave this city. "But," remarked the
president, "we must submit to the
inevitable. We put forth our best
endeavors to maintain the college
here, but because of the Standard
zation act by the legislature the in
terests of the school were so seriously
jeopardized that we accepted the only
alternative.
Speaking of consolidation with the
Philomath college, President Winters
said he had no hope of union being
effected since the Evangelical associ-
alton had withdrawn from the com
pact. 1t would hardly be possible
under present conditions for the con-
solidated institution to reach the re-
quired Standardization, without which
any school of this character is badly
handicapped, and especially so since
the standard public schools would not
recognize it.

Still Undecided.

Expert accountants of Judge Benson
yesterday discovered mistake of 20
votes in the official count in Judge
Benson favor in Multnomah county
Later Justice McNary received a

charge that the commissions examiners
were not accorded full access TO the
firms books, bearing on the New Haven
correspondence made public at Wash
ington.
He told of Commissioner McChord' s
directing the chief examiner to cease
work, as "it was unless, unless full
board was present"
A New Haven directors meeting is to
be held in New York Thursday, and
some statement may be issued then.
Mellen's counsel, in statement defend
ing Mellen, says his private fortune when
he took charge of the New Haven was
a million and is now far less than that.

the office to-day and issued a statement
declaring that when the papers were
scrutinized and the department believes
any crime has been committed by any
person connected with the New Haven
in the county, an indictment will follow,
no matter who the person may be.
