STATE TREASURY IN

more than $500,000 than it was on Janu-
 aary IS, 1915, when warrants had been is-
 Asued to the amount of $3,576, ,365n. Be-
 stween october 1, 1915, and January IS,
 s19i6, the state issued warrants to the
 amount of s3,OO5,6 ,630.74.
 In explanation of the excess of the disbursements between October 1, 1914, land January 1S 1915, over the disburse- Ements for the same period this year,
 Fit might be well to state that this was

 these contingent appropriations account
 for the excess.
 sum equal to the amount expended dur
 ing the past fiscal year. then there must
 be expended between now and September 31, next, S4,S24, 40S.33. But it is doubtful if
 1.-the disbursements will nearly reach that amount for, as has been said about $175,000 was expended for legislative ex- penses
 STATE BETTER OFF THIS YEAR It is probable therefore, that the state
 will be better off at the close of the present fiscal year than it was the past tyear by nearly $5OO,OOO though there is | |no way of forming other than an ap- |proximate calculation. Most of the taxes already have been paid, and when trey | Icease to come in a large part of the Irevenues cease. The state must then l Hook to the receipts of the convict de- |partment the receipts of the insurance, agricultural and other departments, and
 to. other small sources of revenue. But these sources are very small. The
 result will be that another outstanding debt will accumulate, thought not so
 large as 1t has been in the past, and there will be the usual difficulty in meet ling obligations.
 In order to meet these obligations the state must again borrow. Governor
 Henderson. in all probability, will renew
 the constitutional loan of $3O0,0O0 and ar arrangements will be made with New York
 banks to carry the states warrants as they have done in the past But before making these arrangements the state will first pay it's present outstanding
 debt. As has been said, this debt, or the
 greater part of it, will be liquidated by
 April 1, when the state will be in po-
 siticn to make whatever other arrange
 ments as to future loans that may ap-
 pear necessary.

Nav Not Fix Maximum Price

London, January 20.-The govern ment's efforts to fix a maximum price on manufactured steed, according to the Central News Glasgow correspond ent, is threatened with failure owing to the strong opposition of the steel makers, who hold that the market values are justified by the unprece- dented high cost of hematite and the high freights which are resulting in a great scarcity of iron ore imports.

"The New Henrietta"


 High finance, filial gratitude, TO- nance and love make the story of "The New Henrietta" which is to be pre- scented at the Jefferson theatre Janu ary 24 and 25 with a matinee on Tues day, one of absorbing interest. Nicholas Van Alstyne, the king of Wall street, upon retiring from business, gives his interests into the hands of his son-in- law, man whose treachery he has not suspected, who attempts to ruin his benefactor by destroying stock in which the old man is most interested. Bertie, the son of the house, who has been looked upon as half imbecile, but who really loves and admires his father, gives up fortune which the old gen tleman has thrown at him when he banishes him from his home. and saves his fatheTs fortune, wins bride for himself and smoothes the way for a happy marriage of the old man with the charming widow to whom he has been devoted
 At the Lyric
 An excellent and we'll rounded bill is the offering for the second half of the week. at the Lyric and was well received by the capacity houses last night. The Six Water Lilies in their wonderful diving, swimming and aquatic art are continued and are easily the headliners. Announcement was made that at the first performance tonight diving contest for men and boys will be held and on Saturday matinee a contest for women and girls. The Water Lilies swimming tank will be used and valuable silver cups are offered as prizes.
 Al and Fannie Steedman are very entertaining and pleased the audience immensely. They are lively pair and make the most of a threadbare vehi- cle. Howard, Fields and Hinkle, pre- senting dining car minstrels, rank with the best on the bill. The stage setting is decidedly novel and good, clean comedy runs through the. entire act.
 The efforts of Joe Daniels as a comedian were not appreciated by the audience.
 The Roman Troupe in acrobatic stunts of the whirlwind variety, were very acceptable opener.

BRIpGE BILL SIGNED.

WASHINGTON. Jan H.
President Wilson today signed
the bin authorizing the con-
structon of bridge across the
Arkansas river at Tulsa, okla.
The foregoing message means
there will be no further delay
n erecting the fine structure
which is TO supplant the Ozark
train bridge at this city. The
contractors have been ON the
ground for some time and con-
siderable work has been done,
but actual placing Of steel had
been deferred to such time as
the government gives its consent
TO erect he bridge
The matter was held up be-
cause of the fact that the
Arkansas was considered a navi-
gable stream and that the plans
of the proposed bridge would
have to include draw for the
passage of boats. The govern
meut officers were convinced,
however. that the diSensions of
the bridge were sufficient for
the purpose.
