That the handling of the A1ka.sas State Fair has been under most llX system imaginable since its inc D. ton was admitted freely last night in a board of directors meeting, where the annual report for the last fair was made. which showed e sum of $G13 unaccountetd for, under the statement of Auditor W. O. Crea- son.
 The last fair cost in round numbers the sum of $30395.G1
 Of that sum about 5000 was sub scribed in advance of the fair. anl there is a deficit in unpaid premiums of about $7.000 Which shows that from all sources there was less than $l4Oo0 taken in by the 1915 state fair, with which to meet the S3oOoD cost of the exposition.
 No sters were taken to hold an. other fair.
 However, the directors did not abandon their coaporation but on the other hand by motion ordered the sec retary to pay the corporation tax, and win preserve the organization in or der that the fair may be held in 1916 in the event the directors at that time desire 10 hold another exposition.
 The laXity of the management oi the state fairs in recent years was emphasized before the meeting.
 The report of Auditor W. o. )Crea son was read Mir Croason at the outset called attention of the direc- tors to the fact that he was treas. urer as well as auditing comm ttee. He had made an audit of the books for the past year. That report showed the deficit, and in this cen nection President Col. s. w. For lyct said: eI
 As Grover Cleveland once said It is a condition and not a theory that confrOnts us now Col Fordyce said that the payment of the premi ums to the prize winners of the 1915 fair had been quite q burden to him He, like all the other directors, wanted to have these obligations met Of course 1t was for them to deter mine some way to meet the same. For himself he said that he would gv, another $1,000 if the directors would raise the remainder of the sum 10 dis charge the obligations.
 Secretary Waters said that there was about $75 in the bank, and tha' the Breeders Association owed tht fair about $500 in fines it would col lect or had collected He said thai the fair had never cleared a dollar a an of its exposition. and the p-evi ,oud fair lost about S5,000, which de ficit had been made up. Condit'o 'on' he said were good after that fair. an, deficit could be made mp, but now it would be futile to ask the people to attempt to raise this money. II, ! suggested that a letter be sent tht

 The prevailing opinion of the curt written by Chief Judge William Bart lett held that the second tual was fair and free from error Judge Ho. gan alone dissented.
 Among other striking conclusions of the opinion were these:
 That there was nothing to indicate that inc gunmen were acuated by any personal hostility toward Rosen thaL They were simply murderers for hire. Upon the truth or fal-,ty of their testimony to this effect, then depends the built or innocence oi Becke7.
 That the testimony of various w.t. nesses. regarding the Harlem confer ence' at which Becker and others are said to have plannel the death of Rosentnal was corroborated and therefore must be assumed to be true
 That Justice Seabury properly eX. cluded from the consideration of the jury in the second trial a statement given by Dago" Frank Cirofici, one Of the four gunmen executed for the murder, shortly before his death Cuo fici declared that insofar as ne knew Becker had nothing to do with plan ming Rasenthal's death

lost. Believing the story of the swim
