CHARGES BROUGHT M IT PROVED Investigating Committee Finds Conditions at State Col lege Are Good. NOTHING FOUND IRREGULAR Mountain Made Out of Published Stories of Wrong-Ioliig Proved to Be Molehills "When Probe Searches Among Records. PULLMAN. Wash.i June S. (Special.) Mountains made out of Incidents In the management of the State College in charges by the saloon forces are proving but molehills under the investigation of the legislative investigating committee. The charges that the college makes no accounting to the Governor of the ex penditure of its Kederal funds is proved false by production of a copy of such a report made several months ago. The charge that Treasurer Frank J. Bernard, ot t'he Board of Regents, has been collecting interest for his private account on college funds was disproved when it was shown the interest in ques tion was collected on the direction of the board and has been paid over to that body for the use of the college. The charge or 'misconduct on the part of college chemists In the enforcement of the fertiliser law is shown nothing more than an alleged violation -of the law1, which was not reported to the chemists until after made the subject of charges. Investigation of these matters was con cluded today. The committee will go deeper thtq. the general conduct and effi ciency of the institution and this will re quire a day of (wo longer. An effort is being made to complete the general survey of ihe college tomorrow in time to return to Spokane Wednesday after noon. The committee was taken to the col lege in automobiles last night to attend the presentation of the senior class play and the formal oiwnlng of the new col lege auditorium. This morning the com mittee discussed charges and examined witnesses whose testimony was taken in full by a stenographer. Desvife the fact the resolution creating the committee re quires it to hold all hearings in public the commute excluded newspaper re porters and all others except witnesses who were admitted one at a time.

Own a Kodak and Take Your Own Pictures at Your O wn Sweet Will And when you own a "Kodak" it must be an EASTMAN, as they are the' only manufacturers of kodaks. Nothing to equal or compare with an EASTMAN KODAK has ever been produced, so when you do purchase you might just as well secure the best, as the other kind, though inferior in every respect, will probably cost you just as much. The pleasures of owning a KODAK are too numerous to enumerate. It af fords more genuine satisfaction than anything else possibly can. It enables you to keep pictures of the family at all ages, it allows you to preserve the choicest scenery that you see when driving, automobiling or traveling, and in a thousand other ways is a constant source of enjoyment and satisfaction.
