Out of 1500 corporations of all sorts that have tried to do business In Kan sas, only 97 have been found to be of sufficient strength to allow the Kansas farmers to make Investments and have received certificates which will permit them to get capital. These facts came to light when J. N. Dolley, State BankJ Commissioner, made his biennial report to the Governor of the workings of his department. Mr. Dolley is the origi nator and has charge of the enforce ment of the Kansas "blue sky law," the only law of Its kind In the country. It was through the operation of this law that a large number of fake stock-and-bond-selliug propositions were discov ered and weeded out of Kansas. Under the law each corporation that desires to sell stock or other securities in Kansas must first obtain a permit from the State Banking Department, which has authority to examine the company and see whether or not In vestors have any chance of getting their money back. In 20 months the law has been In operation 1500 com panies have askeft for certificates of authority and only 97 have been found worthy.

' a J BAROXESS "Ml" iS ACCUSED Baroness Finds Jeweled Wom an in Servants' Room. HUSBAND IS SUSPECTED Former Morganatic Wife of Late King of Belgium Causes Talk in Vienna by Recent Ef forts to Entrap Spouse. VIENNA. Jan. 28. The efforts of Baroness Vaughan, morganatic wife of the late King Leopold of Belgium, to entrap her present husband, M. Dur rteux, have caused much amusement in Vienna, as well as in other European capitals where the Baroness Is well known and much talked about. The Baroness went to the Palace of Justice and complained that her hus band was taking women into their home. The Judge issued a warrant and sent several detectives in charge of a commissary of police to the house. The officers demanded and obtained admittance. Durrieux declared that he was alone. The detectives did not find any women, but they picked up shoes and stockings, which they pocketed. Then they searched the house and found a woman in the servants' quar ters. Her fingers were covered with Jewels. She insisted that she was one of the maids. This was a poser, and the situation was not simplified when the police com pelled her to dress and forced her to put on a pair of shoes which were found in the cupboard, in which she was unable to walk. The detectives, believing that they had secured suffi cient evidence, restored the shoes and stockings. The Baroness Vaughan a short time ago instituted suit for divorce against M. Durrieux, but the papers were with drawn and the pair were reconciled. GIRLS ARE TOO PRETTY RAILWAY GATEMEX FORGET TO rUXCH THEIR TICKETS. Illinois Central Employes 1o Be Transferred to Places Where Commuters Are Strangers. CHICAGO, Feb. 2. Because suburban agents and gatemen on . the Illinois Central Railroad have become so friend ly with the pretty girls that they some times forget to punch their commuta tion tickets, orricials of the road are about to transfer a number of the agents and gatemen to fields where they are not so well acquainted with the lassies who make regular trips over the suburban lines. It Is the old, old story the other sex is not conducive to Increasing the weight of the treasury coffers. J. H. Brinkerhoff, superintendent, characterized the contemplated changes simply as disciplinary ones. He was in clined to scoff at the idea that pretty girls have anything to do with it. He says If the order goes Into effect at all it will be for the purpose of lessening the possibility of collusion between agents and gatemen. Upon the station platforms It Is whis pered about that some of the girls have been commuters so long and some of the gatemen at the turnstile stations have been at the same stations so long that friedshlps have formed. It is sug gested that possibly the gatemen or agents try to lighten the financial bur dens of the pretty girls. COUNTY GETS INTEREST Public Funds Credited With $89.35 for January. For the first time In the history of Multnomah County the balance sheet ki.k nnnnlv rlrk CoffAV'M dfiDUtleS drew for the benefit of the County Court yesterday, covering January's business snowea eninrs crmuus . . Mn(v with interest on dally balances In the banks and with half the amount receivea as natural ization fees. This means, briefly, that" County Clerk Coffey Is making good his campaign promise to conduct the office on a flat salary basis. The amount credited for interest was JS9.S5 and half the raturalizatlon fees amounted to approximately 80. mak ing a total of practically $170. The interest was paid by the Northwestern VAJJGIIAN. National Bank, in which Mr. Coffey carried the greater part of the money coming officially into his hands during January. It is probable that a sys tem will be adopted of carrying check ing accounts in several banks and sta tionary or fairly stationary amounts in a single bank, as this would result In larger interest receipts. The rate paid is 2 per cent. The Supreme Court decided recently that the County Clerk is entitled to half the naturalization fees, the other half going to the Department of Com merce and Labor of the United States Government. On top of this, District Attorney Evans handed down an opin ion that in such event the County Clerk must pay the salary of the dep uty In charge of the work. F. G. Wilde, the deputy in charge of this work, draws a salary of J115 a month, which Is and always has been paid by the county and, according to actual records which he has kept, devotes considerably less than half his time to it Mr. Wilde" estimates that the County Clerk's share of the naturalization fees this year will amount to at least $2500. showing that the county will make money by accepting this amount and paying his salary In full. Instead of askirg Mr. Coffey to keep it and pay half the salary, an arrangement which had been suggested. Half his remuneration for the year would be $6Si0, and by paying this amount the county will receive in return, accord ing to the estimate, about 2500, or make a clear profit of approximately 1 1S00. "The interest amounts also will be larger as time goes on," said Mr. Cof fey. "You must remember that I did not take office until January 6 and ;bat the 89.35 credited is interest onls from that Sate to the end of the month. In other banks beside the Northwest ern National' my balances were too small to make it worth while paying interest on, but every cent so collected is to go to the county."

(Special.) Leaving the home of Mr. and Mrs. Binger Hermann, where she was em ployed in nursing Madge Miller, this morning, with the apparent intention of attending church, Agnes Mannion, a nurse, has disappeared and all efforts to find her tonight failed. Miss Man nion was a Catholic and, according to custom, left the Hermann home this morning and started to church. Noth ing was thought of the incident at the time and not until 4 o'clock P. M. did members of the family suspect she had wandered away while suffering from a temporary spell of nervousness, to which she was subject. The officers were notified, and it was discovered that she had not reached the church. Further inquiry led to the discovery that the girl was last een at 10 A. M, walking in the direction of the thickly timbered dis tricts east of town. In fact, one per son from whom the officers inquired said he -was well acquainted with the girl and conversed with her as she passed his residence. Actions Deemed Peeullar. This man said she acted peculiarly and at first shunned recognition. Fol lowing this clew, the officers dis patched a posse of 50 men to the hills, where tracks resembling those of a woman were found leading over a steep hill and In the direction of the city reservoirs. These tracks led the officers some distance here and there along the side of the hill and finally terminated at the fence enclosing the reservoirs.

Sheriff Quin tonight sent for the state bloodhounds, which will be placed on the girl's trail early tomorrow. DAUGHTER GIVES BLOOD TRANSFUSION OPERATION . MAY SAVE FATHER'S LIFE.
