Closed Incident
Washington, Dec. ,16. (I. N. S.)
Th 'liquor scandal" at Philadelphia
on the night of November 25, following
the Army-Navy football game, became
a closed incident today when Secretary
of th- Navy Denby made public the
report of the board of officers which
Investigated alleged drunkenness among
midshipmen of the Naval academy.
The board said Rear Admiral Henry
B. Wilson, as head of the academy,
was responsible for supervision of the
midshipmen, but Secretary Denby de
clared this was ' merely a reiteration
of a well known military law. :
The report shows . that- such super
vision aa has been customary in past
years, was given at the midshipmen's
ball where the drunkenness was said
to have occurred, but recommends that
in the future officers of the Naval
academy, '. instead of a committee -of
students, have personal charge of such
affairs.
The board did not go into the ques
tion of the alleged misconduct of cer
tain midshipmen,.

No one will experience any trouble In

THEORY OF DEAD SCJTS
Many potheses have been" ad
vanced to account for these strange
heavenly visitors, and . one is perhaps
as good as another, A , common
speculation is that they are- born of
the terrific collision of once dark
bodies pr dead suns, millions of which
are supposed to whirl "their weary.
lifeless way through eternity, or un
til they defy the laws of gravitation
by rushing together and in conse-
auence blaze ackr into iixe Irom a
contact that would shatter the solar
system if ' it happened- within or near
the field of the sun's influence. Other
hypotheses have been put forth, but

picturesque and the one with the most
popular appeal.
SCHOOL EXPENSE
IN WASHINGTON
e
SHOWS INCREASE
Cost of Running Educational In
stitutions Will Be $19,133,-
81 8 j State Expenses Decrease
Olympia, Wash., Dec 18. Jhe ad
ministrative cost of government In the
state of Washington, exclusive of high
er educational Institutions and other
branches cared for by special funds,
will be reduced in the next biennium
if the recommendations of the state fi
nance committee made public yesterday
are approved at the 1923 session of the
legislature, which opens January s.
In its estimates for 1923 and 1924
the committee has fixed appropriations
for the general fund at $10,014,251.74,
which is nearly 8165,000 below those of
the last biennium when they totaled
$10,178,956.76. Departments asked $11.
162,837.91 for the ensuing biennium.
REASONS GIVEN'
However, the cost of administering
the higher educational institutions and
the forms of government under the
special funds is raised in the budget
almost $2,500,000. The total for these
miscellaneous fund appropriations in
the last biennium was $16,688,722.07.
which is Increased this year to $19,-
133,818.61. The amount asked for un
der this head was $20,401,627.97.
This large Increase is due to the In
creased business . in those divisions
administered by special funds and also
to the increased millage for all educa
tional institutions, according to State
Treasurer C. L. Babcock, chairman of
the finance committee. The other
members Of the committee are Gov
ernor Louis F. Hart and State Auditor
O. W. Clausen.
Revenues which will be turned into
the general fund from taxation and in
direct sources in the next two years
are estimated at $9,386,876, which win
mean that there must be approxi
mately $650,000 raised by some other
measures.
However State Treasurer Babcock
said yesterday that the balance, which
will be left over in the general fund
at the end of this year, will easily
take care of any deficit, as there is
about $3,020,000 representing receipts
from the poll tax. Although $1,500,000
of this total' was used to buy soldiers'
bonus bonds, the legislature is expected
to appropriate funds to take care of
this expenditure. Even if it fails to
do this there will still be $1,500,000
over in the treasury, the state treasurer
said.
ASK MORE MOJTEY
- Requests from the administrative
code departments totaled $9,375,320.37
and the committee recommended that
they receive $7,904,343 from the general
fund in the next biennium. The last
biennium the appropration was $7,718,
051.66. A decrease Will be made in the ap
propriations for elective officials from
$1,285,956 to $1,224,612.16. Requests to
taled $1,281,293,16. This includes the su
preme court. "
The. higher educational institutions
in the state all asked for higher ap
propriations' than were granted, the
University of Washngton asking for
$2,742,854 for the next biennium, the
committee : recommending $2,583,556.
Appropriation for that institution for
the last biennium was $3,207,575.
The committee recommended a total
of $1,829,215.58 for Washington State
college, while the request was for $2,
046,099.16. : Last year the legislature
appropriated $1,777,035.45. : i
Klleasburg normal asked for $576,
685,96. and if the recommendations of
the committee are accepted will get
$282,885 as against $302,660.75 last bi
ennium. " . .
