more than their proportion Of depos-

admitted there was basis for the

Cravens' Statement
The statement introduced by Sena-
tor Cravens follows:
In the early day Of the session Of
the General Assembly there was in
.troduced a resolution seeking certain
Information concerning the financial
condition Of the State. This resolution
was favorably acted upon by this body.
since which time the officials who were
directed to furnish the desired informa-
ton have ignored the demands of the
Senate, and since information has
come to members Of the Senate that
there has come about a most serious
situation in reference to the finances
Of the State.
1T appears on undoubted informa-
ton that the provisions of the public
depository law have been inadvert-
emily violated and all the deposits of
State funds in 200 or more banks in
our State to an amount in excess of
S4,900,000 today is in those deposito-
RES without the safeguard Of surety
bond, as required by the depository
law of our State.
"Since the officials to whom my
resolution was directed are directly
responsible for the above named
States funds not being protected as
provided by the depository act, there
fore, l desire to protest against the
disregard of said officials shown In
their failure to respond to the demand
of the Senate and demand that this
protest be written into the journal
and made a part of the records Of the
Senate"

preparation is carried in a lump sum

the instance Of Army engineers who
conduct the Improvements. The House
committee added 10000, 900, so that
there would be plenty Of money for
improvements, out with no DEBATE IN
the House the amount was mys-
teriously s2O,OOO,OOO more, or q total
of $50, 900 900.
NIcCumber Asks Why
Senator McCumber Of North Da-
kota. Republican. has demanded to
know what this money IS going TO be
spent for and who IS going 10 decide
what It is to be spent for.
The amount for improvement has
been mysteriously doubled and want
to find out how the money is to be ex-
pended, McCumber said.
McCumber is backed by Senators
Borah, King, Smoot, Lenroot and
Wadsworth, who has charge Of the

Watson Out of Senate

Watson laughs at the suggestion
that he is a presidential candidate.
Yet ne tells his friends that ne will
not be a candidate for the Senate
again. And his friends are out turn
ing every trick to keep Watson IN
the presidential spotlight. The one
trick that must be turned is to estab
fish Watson as the Republican leader
in Indiana. In that place there would
be cause to consider him in a Repub-
Iican convention.
1t is there that New enters the con
siderations If New remains in Wash
ington as n member of the official
family he probably will continue in
politics. Watson as leader of the In

 All the money in town wouldn't keep me in this place. The cops are too playful" I said, and we went back to Philadelphia.
 The one experience was enough for me at the time and I decided that New York was no place for coun- try boy, and I decided to stay in Philadelphia where I could get around without a bodyguard.
 However. my resolution was short lived. The boys kept telling about the good purses in New York and I was soon back there again, where I won my first victory by knockout, as will relate in the following chap ter.

SIKI HAS ESCAPED CONFINEMENT ON SHAMROCK ISLE

PARIS, April 4-Battling Siki is loose again. The Senegalese pugilist accomplished the unexpected and es. caped from Ireland, where he hao been marooned since his St. Patricks Day defeat.
 Siki arrived at Le Havre Wednes- day just as Deputy Diagne. colored, who represents the wilds of Senega- les in the French Parliament, was hammering at the door of the Quai DOrsay, demanding that the French government dispatch an airplane to Cork to rescue his constituent.
 The Bearcat, who went to Ireland to lose the light-heavyweight cham pionship of the world to Mike Nc Tigue in Dublin on the Irish holiday, arrived as a storway on small car4 go boat. Since he nestled close to the coal bin on the boat, his presence was not known until he jumped up and ran when the boat landed.
 Ski was very seassick all across the channel as the boat on which he travelled is one of the smallest ply ing between France and Ireland.
 Those who met him at the dock de- clared he landed full of righteous in- dignation and Irish whisky.
 Ski was marooned in Ireland be- cause both American and British ships refused |. o haul him home even fused to allow him to pass through England.
 Friends of the pugilist denied re- ports that Sikf had intended to chal- 1enge the Irish republican army in case he defeated McTigue.

 Milwaukee scored its first tally in the second inning when Shinault singled to right and Baldy scored with two-bagger to center. The Brewers counted again in the third inning, when Cooney hit to right for one base and came home on two bagger by Paul Johnson.

Then Shinault got single to cen ter. scoring Cooney and Johnson. Baldy struck out. Pitts hit one to the race track for a single and Grif- fin and Shinault came home. Potts counted on Lober's sacrifice and Mellillo's single, but was thrown out in stealing second.

 The weather was good and a fair attendance marked the game.
