Big Gold Increases.
In that connection the secretary's
report showed the stock of gold in the
United States on November 1, 1915,
was S2.19S, 113,762, compared with
$1,S05, S76,580 on January and that
it is by far the largest sum in gold
ever held by one country. Indications
were, he added, that the present stool.
would be greatly augmented.
The report reviews at length, oper-
atoms of the treasury department for
the year. Mr.. McAdoo's deposits of
gold in the Atlanta, Dallas and Rich
mond federal reserve banks, and his
decision to make reserve banks gov
eminent depoSitaries and fiscal agents.
Legislation recommended included
$4,000 for a second Pan-American
financial conference in Washington in
1917 and $4,000 for the use of the
United States section of the 1nterna-
tional high commission on uniformity
of laws for the two Americas.
The method of legislating for pub
lie buildings in an omnibus bill re-
ceived the. secretary's disapproval and
he asked that it be discontinued.
Needless waste of public money, he
said, will be avoided if congress will
hereafter not authorize the acquisition
of public building sites until authorize
ton is made for the buildings to go on
the sites. He asked that the secretary
of the treasury be authorized to fit the
building to the city and not to make
it just as imposing as the sum appro-
priated under the present system will
permit.
Mr.. McAdoo asked for two cruis-
ing cutters for the coast guard service
on the Pacific coast, to cost 500, 900,
a harbor cutter for New York to cost
$3.50 900 and one for San Francisco
to cost $4,000. He says that in plans
for national defense the coast guard
will have important assignment and
that authorizations for the service will
be valuable from a military stand
point.
Reviewing the oleomargarine and
whisky frauds of the year the report
again recommends changes in the oleo
law to reduce the invitation to commit
similar frauds

Emperor William at army headquar-
tiers. 1t is said that the purpose of his
visit is to to discuss with the emperor
the details of the chancellor's coming

awaited with feverish interest by the
public. Seldom has there been such
a demand for seats in the galleries of
the reichstag and the coming state
ment is the subject of universal specu-

done. We didn't want publicity about
this expulsion but the girls felt thar
they wanted their side represented so
that the public could judge. Last
spring MIR. Wilson twisted testimony
to suit his side of the case"
The girls expelled were Helen Lu-

junior; Mary Samson, sub senior; Es-
Their Paxton. sub freshman; Rather

Superintendent Wilson's version.
superintendent H B. Wilson said
this morning that the expulsion only
came after much evidence had been
accumulated against the group of
girls and that the action was brought
about indirectly by the dance at KEEL
lam hall Friday night When asked
about the statement Miss Burnett was
asked to sign he replied that it had
nothing to do with the expulsion and
was merely for file in the office.
81 was surprised to hear that the
dance was on" he said, land num-
Der of people wanted to know why 1
didn't check the matter up. We have
evidence that the girls had a number
of meetings or spreads at the various
homes-at Neese's. Hills and at Meals
home in the country. They elected
officers at the NeeSe home and Jessie
Burnett was made president. This
was after they had -disbanded, handed
in their charter and were supposedly
dead as an organization.
THE organization added two little
girls to their membership this fall who
made their first appearance at Friday
nights dance
The meetings, officers and adding
70 their mbership-especially the
after, which is the means by which
my body perpetuates its existence
formed the grounds on which the
school board based the expulsion of
the girls. Miss BUrnett'S statement
had nothing to do with it. The dance
brought the question to a head and 1
simply acted. 1 have told DR.. Van
Horn that 1 am ready to make a re-
port to the school board at any time
he will call a meeting"

Opening prices, which ranged from a shade

$116A and May at $1171s to $1.17A were
followed by a slight further setback, and
then material upturns, the market later
steadying at about the same as yesterdays

Assertions that the feding value of this
years crop was 1926 million bushels under
that of the previous season acted as a
handicap on the bears. Later, though, the

MAY ENJ0IN HIM
Parents of Suspended "SOrOr-
ity" Girls Angered at Wilson.
Topeka Lassies Give Their Side
of Argument Today.

1t IS reported today that the faith
ers of the high school girls suspended
Tuesday by Superintendent H B. Will
son will start Injunction proceedings
to restrain the superintendent from
keeping their daughters out of school.
Several of the fathers. it is said, are
in favor of such a move.
According to one of them, E. J.
Shakeshaft, assistant general passen-
ger agent of the Santa Fe, no definite
plan has been made for an injunction
or restraining order. Neither did he
know whether or not the girls were
intending to leave high school and en-
ter Washburn academy or some other
institution.
TT is all unsettled at present." he
said.
According to one of the suspended
girls the mothers are all 'righteously
indignant"
Girls Side of Fuss.
Expulsion of thirteen alleged soror-
ity girls from Topeka high school was
caused Tuesday by the refusal of one
of the girls TO sign a statement sayinG
that Superintendent H B. Wilson
showed doubt and hesitancy'' about
allowing a meeting of the girls. ac
cording TO Miss Jessie Burnett
Mr.. Wilson did not hesitate at all
about allowing the meeting" said Miss
Burnett I'VE went to him openly and
asked about ii. The Lambda Alpha
lambda sorority disbanded last spring
and gave their charter to Mr.. Wilson.
There is no organization of any sort
among the girls, although Mr.. Wilson
says there is.
f''Mr. Wilson gave his consent to the
dance and we followed his directions
beth in calling the prior meeting with
.lsrnthers present and in handling the
dance. He says that we sent out writ
ten invitations-we did not.
=''He says that two girls have been
pledged by the deceased Lambda AL
pha Lambda sorority this fall and that
they were at the dance, citing Esther
Paxton and Irene Seery. These two
girls were pledged when they were in
the seventh grade by the old sorority.
When the sorority broke up they were
no longer pledges, naturally. Both
Girls were invited to the dance at their
own request and were not members of
the sorority any more than the rest
of the group.
Miss Burnett says she was the head
of the committee appointed last sum-
Tner to look after the party this win
Ter but was not the head of the Lamb
ID Alpha Lambda sorority.
II did everything as squarely as
nossible in managing the dance" said
Miss Burnett Mr. Wilson once told
me that he felt assured that I was do
ing things as he would have them
