ter's property for their own protec-
ton.

peared shortly before April Ia, when

to have been forged, fell due. A spe-
cial court which investigated the
charges against him has ordered his
apprehension on charges of falsifica-
ton of documents and forgery, declar-
ing him responsible before the civil
courts for So, 100000.
Lezama's assets, according to an
unofficial list, include lands along
Havana harbor where he started to
build a sugar refinery and a mortgage
of $2,400,000. The two mills owned
by Lazama have an annual produc-
ton of from 100000 to 100000 sacks
of sugar.
Among his creditors, as listed, are
the Banco National de Cuba, $1,000
900; L. R. Munoz and Co., $1,000, 900;
Royal Bank of Canada, 100000;
Banco Mercantil Americana, $780,
900; Armour and Company, 100000;

nancier's larger creditors are well
protected.

DIET PLANNED TO
GET EFFICIENCY
OUT OF STUDENTS
Inv Associated Press)

Hanover, N. H., June "A study OF
the health of members of the fresh
man class, to be used as the basis of
regulating their diet and activities,
will be inaugurated by Dartmouth
College next fall. The plan will be
associated with the freshman COM
pulsory athletic course. One of its
aims will be to work out proper bal
ance between the height and weight
of each man in order that he may do
best possible work in studies and ath-
letics.
Harry Hillman, track coach and
head of the department of recreation
al athletics for freshmen, will direct
the study and its application. He has
formulated a nutrition scheme by
which he plans to keep a check on ev-
cry freshman's health and habits and
advise him how best to regulate them.
The plan is still incomplete, but the
general outline has been adopted. A
rigid examination will precede as
signment of students to athletic
groups. Men who are normal will be
allowed to engage in the regular ac-
Invites. Others will be watched and
advised how to modify habits and diet
in order to obtain a proportionate re-
lation of weight to height Once the
requirement of condition is reached
they will be free to elect their sports.

ference

Severe criticism of the expense at
tached to the house investigation Of
Nonpartjsans just before the legisla.
ture adjourned.
Representative Vogel called for the
reading of the expense account which
had been filed The house had ad-
opted resolution approving the COM
mittee's report, including the expen'
ditures, but the Nonpartisans called
for reading Of the expense bill.

fees for J. r Waters. of Beach, $2,-
1877 for stenographic hire and other
expense. The total amount was $14,-
S93.75. ....
Rep. Shipley said that the house
committee had carried out the work
as quickly, effectively and as econ
omically as it could, that it paid the
attorneys at the usual rate in this
state for similar work, and that the
committees stenographic hire was
considerably less than that in the
senate investigation. Nonpartisans
wanted to disapprove of the expense
but a resolution already had authoriz-
ed it, Attorney-Genera Lemkc some
time ago said that one body could not
pay out money for an investigation
without concurrence of both houses.
Whether or not the warrants will be
honored is not known. y
Rep. Shipley said he understood
that Ed. Sinkler. attorney for the SEN
ate investigation committee had sub
mitted bill in the same amount as
paid each house attorney.

of the committee was not large, as
Attorney furnished the SER
vices of counsel, and said that ne

vices. If he got any money it was
from the Attorney-General's office,
the senator said. The Industrial
Commission also paid part of the ex-
pense.

originally an appropriation of $4,000
to pay for the Bishop, Brissman audit

semi-annual a,tdits by the auditing
board.

thousand dollars was raised for the
Bishop, Brissman report and speaker
Twitchell, when he went to St Paul
to get it, took subscriptions amount
ing to $2,500, which he said complet-
ed the guarantee to the Bishop Briss-
man company that the audit would be
paid for. The persons who contribut-
ed money to the fund will not be able
