Bolton Cleared Commission.

| Ralph Bolton, of Des Monies,
member of the exposition commits
sion, was called to the stand and ex-.
planned many of the details and trans
actions of the immense undertaking
at San Francisco. He stated he had
himself filed the fifth and final re-
port with Gov. Clarke about Jan. II,
1917. He also stated that the Com
mission had drawn but 100000 of the
$4,000 provided by the state and had
returned $4,000 OF that.
| Miss Vida Smith, formerly of
Clinton, was summoned and testified
that she was the bookkeeper and
lstenographer in charge of the Com
mission business at San Francisco.
Her testimony was clear and showed
remarkable recollection of details
which cleared up many points at is
sue, and left the conclusion that the
best of intentions on the part of all
concerned prevailed to make careful
and legitimate use Of the funds. She
was the Commissions best witness.
Hearing Adjourned To July S. =
A resolution was adopted by the
r. & r. Committee Thursday after
noon to postpone the rest of the in
vestigation till July 5 at 1870 p. m.
and that in the meantime Miss Smith
be required to remain in Des Moines
and with an assistant go over the
records, books and vouchers and
make complete report Of all matters
pertaining to this Panama Pacific Ex-
position fund and check up and OBJ
tain all vouchers obtainable, and re-
port same to the committee at the
time named
Thus has ended temporarily what
one prominent member of the COM
mittee calls tempest in teapot"
Others state it is a flimsy matter of
personal spite and that is entiely
unworthy o fthe great state of Iowa.
At most not over $3.50 of misused
funds can be claimed, and offsetting
this are days and days of free SER
vice and expense Of members Of the
Commission, including those of Mrs.
Clum, and the half pay granted this
efficient young lady stenographer
who served for $50 per month during
nearly a year. In future, if state
legislatures should not be carried
away by the malicious charges Of
anybody, nor pay too much atten-
ton to political and personal spite
dangled before the members to in
flame public opinion, this investiga-
ton may have its value, but now it
represents such cheapening and dam
aging influence to the state by dis
couraging broad public service that
it is to be regretted.

CHINESE STUDENTS WILL
STUDY IN FRANCE

Paris, Dec. 11.-Chinese students
of both sexes are expected to come
to France at the rate of 5000 to
5000 a year during the next two
years. This influx is ascribed to the
fact that the Chinese are no longer
attracted by German universities or
Japanese colleges, owing to the war
and the Chinese national feeling over
the Shantung affair. Another reason
for their choice OF France is that the
United States imposes restrictions
upon Japanese immigrants.
This affords France an unique op-
portunity to share the careers of
those destined to be the nucleus OF
Industrial and intellectual China OF
tomorrow. French transportatino
companies are offering the Chinese
cheap rates of transportation to go to
France.
About one thousand young Chi
nese are already in France studying
the modern scientific methods of in
dustry, finance, commerce and agri-
culture.
American sympathizers including
Madame Hughes LIE Roux, Mrs. Her
man Duryea and Mrs. William Asto1
Chanler, have provided tent as an
organization center for the new ar
rivals. These Chinese have vowed
to life cleanly and frugally and to
abstain from gambling and opium
smoking.
Two 18-year-old girls are pioneers
of their sex anon gthe students. The
two young women arrived yesterday
clad in tailormade gowns. Scores
more of Chinese girls are expected to
follow.
