STATE FUNDS DEFICIT
INCREASED BY DISCOVERY OF
SCHOOL BOND COUPONS.

Found In TreAsurer's Office.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver-With the discovery of the
missing school bond coupons in the
vault of the state treasurer's office
the shortage heretofore given at 49,
SGs is increased to $l9,73G.G
The coupons were found tied in a
package in the far corner of the top
shelf of the big vault, and the discov-
cry was the result of an accident.
Oscar Smith was looking for some pa
pers when his foot slipped on the lad
der and in attempting to save him

On the same shelf was found a
statement from Blair & Co. of New
cording to Mr.. Temple. show that it
was "doctored' In an effort to cover
up the shortage. The statement, dat.
ed Dec. 81, 1914. purports to show
that on that date the state of Colo
rado had a credit of s9,317 with the
New York banking house, where cou,
pons on Colorado state bonds of the
1910 issue were payable.
According to officials Of the depart
ment entries in the books made by
julius Clark, the bookkeeper who
committed suicide last April, pur
ported to show that 50 900 had been
sent to Blair a. Co. to pay bond cou
pons, but the New York bankers
never received the money.
II the increased shortage is verified

entries were made covering the short
age, may have to make up 50, 1876. GO OF
the shortage with no prospect for re
endorsement as the bond made by
julius Clark. who made the false en-
tries, is for only $4,000.

would bring about fair competition,
there was heaped upon it the most
unjust and vicious assaults possible.
But theirs is the program Of the de-
stroyer and their doctrine will not sur.

The design shown in the perspec-

care much about the outside OF the

good and well put together. but the
inside occupied his attention until he
got a practical house that gave uni
versal satisfaction.

Worrespondence OF Associated Press).
LONDON, Jan. 30.-The latest sup
PIGMENT OF the London Gazette shows
tnat ~ officers have been appointed
from the ranks TO commissions in the
British army, because OF efficiency in
the field. Most OF them were advanced
from the sergeant grade and the reg
mental non-commissioned STAFF, but
some were mere corporals. These men
mad taken command OF companies in
the field when the officers were lost
and otherwise showed themselves
worthy OF second lieutenancies.
The present war Is deniocratizing
the army not only because Of the
commissioning Of raikers, but Of the
great numbers OF educated men OF
gentle birth enlisted in the ranks.
Inc educated privates are singled out
Tor promotion, since the average soi-
der OF tho lower classes has little
ambition TO rise and wants to be led
by men for whose brains and breed

Correspondence of Associated Press).
y LONDON, Jan. 30-The guardians
Of st. Pauls Cathedral have just
spent an emergency appropriation of
10000 to make the big building as
nearly fireproof as possible.
They have taken out all the wood
work which it was possible to remove.
and replaced 1t with iron and steel;
and they have installed an elaborate
system OF fire mains and hydrants, ac-
companied by special apparatus for
forcing the water to height above

was regarded by the fire department
as dangerous building in case OF

Wells and on Wednesday he with
another man were hauling hay from

the wagon missed Barrett just about

to institute a search. The next
morning when he went to the field
he saw Barrett's body lying on the
ground with the face IN the mud.
Barrett had been afflicted for several
years and 1t is thought that he took
one Of his spells and died for the lack
