new RECORD SET.
Interest ON State Funds the
Largest Ever Collected.
State Treasurer Completes His
Biennial Report.
$4,000 INCREASE SHOWN
$6,721.44 From Fiscal Agency
4 Fee Collections. +
1ss4 State and National Banks
Handle Funds.

Interest in state funds broke all
records during the biennium ending
June 80, according to the biennial re-
port of Walter L. Payne. state treas
urer. The report. made public today,
shows an interest return to the state
of $12O,929.53, an increase of more
tn: n $4,000 over the previous two
years. Payne's report also shows an
increase of a million dollars in the
fiscal agency and fees to the state of
$6,721.44.
kansas growth and development
are reflected in the state treasurer's
report. Under the present regulations
concerning daily deposits on state
funds deposited with Kansas banks,
revenues to the state have been greatly
Ii creased. The development of the
state is shown in the big growth of
the fiscal agency department.
1853 Banks Handle Funds.
A total of 1913 Kansas state and ma
tional banks shared in the distribu-
tions from daily balances Amounted to
1920, 0,929.54, as. against $4,000 col
lected during the previous two years.
The money goes into the general
revenue fund of the state and is the
largest sum ever collected by Kansas
in single biennum.
In order to handle the work of the
fiscal agency properly, Treasurer
Payne has asked for at least one addi-
tional clerk-stenographer at $1,000 a
year. "One-half or more of Kansas
municipal bonds are held by estern
investors" Paynes report says, land
in sending their items to the Topeka
fiscal agency for collection they expect,
and have a, right to. expect, returns
from same promptly. Unless 1 am
furnished the needed help 1 cannot ac-
complish the promptness that would
be required in the payment of these
items at their maturities. Prompt
payment stimulates the splendid credit
that the state of Kansas enjoys in the
financial world
Collection Fees Large
One-eighth of 1 per cent collection
fee is provided for the fiscal agency
to be collected from the municipali-
ties. Under the present law this fund
is turned into the general revenue fund
| Of the state. The amount has amount
ed to $6,721.44 from January s. 1917,
| to June 80. 1918. The collection fees
| and the interest funds from state de-
posits thought the revenues of the
state from the treasurer's office to
more than $1e7,0e0 during the bien-
mum.

Capper Says He Will Join No
Insurgent Movement.
His Work and Vote VIII Be
Straight Republican,.

They will find me in the Republi-
can organization with both feet"
That was Governor Capper's reply
today to press dispatches from Wash
1ngtone indicating that he might be a
light in a new party revolt in the Unit
ed States senate. The governor denied
that he considered alignment with an
insurgent faction of his party or that
he knew of the existence of such a
movement.
Since the November election, ma
tional political observers have fore
cast the formation of a new faction in
the party which should assert itself
thru former well known progressive
party leaders. Organization of such
a faction in the United States senate,
it was feared, might leave in doubt
control of the upper branch of the ma
tional congress and arouse some of the
factional feeling for which the party
has already paid a considerable price.
Naturally such an organization receiv-
ed no encouragement at the hands
of the national leaders
just n Plain Republican.
Governor Capper was listed as one
of the men who might be expected to
line up with the party disturbers. He
was mentioned as one of the new
members of the senate who might fol-
low the LaFollette leadership and fol-
low members who have been with
johnson, Borah and other former pro-
gressives.
They will find me in the Repub-
lican organization with both feet"
Governor Capper asserted today when
asked concerning the Washington dis
patch. Il have no intention other than
, to follow the Republican leadership in

WILHELM GOES FREE
But the Crown Prince Has Been In

Amerongen, Holland, Nov. 13.-
William HohenZollern has not been
interned by The Netherlands govern
ment. He is regarded rather as a dis
tinguished foreigner who has sought
refuge and who has a claim to pro-
lection.
Presumably he is free to go where he
likes but the fact that his suite has
actually been interned restricts his
movements.
Count Won Bentinck explained today
that both the former emperor and the
former crown prince ceased to be SOL
diers when they abdicated. Nothing
is known at the castle concerning the
former emperor's future movements.

empress. The former emperor was
seen today stro1ling about the castle
grounds with Count Won Bentinck and
the counts son. He wore a gray mill
itary overcoat. This afternoon he was
shown over the castle of Zuy1enstein
a mile away and the residence of
Count Won Rentinck's brother.
The members of the former en-
peror's suite today surrendered their
swords to Dutch officers. They pre-
viously had surrendered their other
arms. and today's formality completed
the act of internment.

With thirty-seven country school
districts still unreported Topeka and
Shawnee county are nearly six thou
sand dollars short of the united war
work campaign quota. But with the
example of the fifty-seven reporting
to figure an average it is de-
clared certain that Topeka and Shaw
nee county are today over the top.
When it was learned at the meeting
this noon that the reports would show
a deficit on the quota allotment, the
committee in charge of the drive i'm
made arrangements for an
afternoon session at the telephone.
The country districts which did not
report this noon are to be called up
and their reports taken in that way

at all concerning the raising of the
