On advice of District Attorney Evans, the Board of County Commis sioners yesterday, denied the petition of County Clerk Beveridge for the transfer of $15,522.43 to make up the K. 6. Field deficiency In the liti gants' deposit fund, despite th recent decision of the Supreme Court direct in? such disbursement. As a result a new mandamus action will be prosecuted by County Cleric Beveridg-e. The refusal to transfer the money was due to legal technicalities which, if unsettled, might, in the opinion of Mr. Evans, make the County Commis sioners and County' Clerk personally responsible for the money taken from the general fund for this purpose. A lengthy opinion submitted to the Board by Mr. Evans yesterday re viewed the mandamus action . brought to determine responsibility for the pay ment to litigants of the funds lost by ex-County Clerk Fields through de posit of county funds in a private ac count in a bank wbich failed. This opinion recites that the Supreme Court decision of January 2, 1917, does not settle the basic question. It clear ly directs the disbursement of county money by warrant to be issued by the Commissioners, but the fundamental numtlnn ef tVi rich r? t Vi Rnn rH tn disburse moneys of the county for thel purpose indicated is as unsettled as heretofore. In the opinion of Mr. Evans. It is pointed out further that there is no money in the county treasury now which could be diverted to cash a warrant for $15,522.43. and that there was no hope that any of the persons who would receive the money would benefit before 60 days, whereas the former mandamus action only occupied a month's time.

History was- recounted Wednesday night by a man who had a part in mak ing it when Captain W. H. Hardy, sur vivor of the Perry expedition to Japan In 1853, told of his experiences to a big crowd in Library Hall Captain Hardy told with a wealth of detail of the voyage to Japan, then a nation closed to the outside world, and the signing- of. a treaty that forced the opening of commercial relations. He was bow oarsman in the barge that took Comodore Perry to and from the shores of Yeddo Bay, Japan, while his flagship, the frigate Mississippi, lay anchored there. It was in 1852 that the Mississippi, with young Hardy, a blue Jacket, in her crew, sailed from Norfolk for Japan. The trip was made by way of Cape of Good Hope, with many stops en route, so that it was in the Summer of 1853 that the arrival was made in Yeddo Bay. The treaty that forced commer cial relations with the United States was signed on March 31, 1S54. Chairman H. B. Miller spoke briefly of the admirable qualities of the Jap anese. William D. Wheelwright gave an eloquent greeting to Captain Hardy, and S. Akamatu, Japanese Consul, spoke of Japan's awakening- following the visit of Commodore Perry in 1853. Lieutenant-Commander J. H. Black burn, in charge of the naval recruit ing stations here, introduced Captain Hardy. There were instrumental num bers by the Weber Juvenile Orchestra and songs by the Veterans' Quartet.'
