el i i o ] ERRORS IN BILLS CUT STATE'S WORKING FUND Department heads at the state capi- tol are worried over reports that numerous and serious errors had been made in appropriation bills passed by the late Legislature. As a result there has been a general rush on the office of Secretary of State Schmahl to examine the signed bills. Public Examiner Fritz found early yesterday morning that he was shy $14,000 in his contingent fund for the year beginning August, 1916. The customary amount had been al- lowed him for the first year, but either in the enrolling of the bill or the failure of some clerk to insert the proper item the appropriation for the second had been omitted. The second department head to find himself hit was Commissioner Farrell of the dairy and food depart- ment. He is shy $15,500 in his con- tingent fund for the year beginning August, 1, next. Appropriations Badly Mixed.* The appropriation bills this year are probably in the worst mess in the history of the state. Following & row_hetween the. House and. Senatetelegraph bills. . One pravision of the [tacks are; used; officials unite over the adoption of the various items the bill was referred to.a conference. committee by which the bills were. o interlined with notations and ‘ex- plnnailons that the clerk got things: badly mixed. 2 Prior to sending the enrolled bills to the governor for his signature, Chief Clerk Arneson of the House put in several days correcting the same and arranging a journal to conform. This morning Mr. Arneson compared the original bills in his possession with the enrolled copy and after an examination said that as far as he could see there was little change made. G Gratuities Held Up. State Treasurer Smith is holding up several thousand dollars in gratui- ties 'and extra compensation giveq by the House and Senate to employees and others during their closing hours: One -item of $100 representing a gift to one of the telephone girls wab cashed before he knew it, but all the others have been held up. i It was said that Attorney General Smith, to whom the question has been put,would ‘rule that the house could pay money out of the legislative ‘ex- pense fund by motion but he was mot 50 certain as to the telephone and to $5.50.

GEORGE KIRK. 2td 429-430 BATTLE GROUNS CHANGED (Continued from Paxe 1.) up to within a mile of the English trenches and’ the French farms are scenes of agricultural activity three and within four miles of the scene of shell firing. Around the English headquarters all of the soil is in crop and Genersl French has arranged that none of his army shall encroach in any way upon farm land, except under the most urgent necessity. To trample ploughed land is an offense which must be explained at the English headquarters. to the satisfaction of the commander-in-chief. The cay- alry finds a small piece of meadow- land here and there on which they exercise their horses, but the French farmer is to be paid for any damage that may be done to his.crop of hay. No Room for Drill. There -is no place within many miles of headquarters where space can be found'for collecting large forces of men for review purposes. General French recently reviewing part of the forces, which had par- ticipated in the battle of Neuve Cha- pelle, traveled to several ' different spots within a radius of a dozen miles Where the men were drawn up in comparatively small bodies. “I can ride ‘around and meet them,” he sald “I'd rather do that than spoil a wheat crop on some big farm.” < in characterising the use of the vapor o wiolation of all rules of civilized ‘warfare.

BRITISH FACE STRONG - -DEFENSE AT GALLIPOLI (Continuea rrow Fage 1.) of the Gallipoli peninsula which is the nearest point for operations against Constantinople, they have landed at Enos, fifty miles further west, on the Gulf of Saros, which is the nearest coastal center for a drive on Adrianople: % 400,000 Troops Available. The Turks, therefore, are now fac- ing two separate offensive movements by the Allies, without knowing which is - destined to ‘be the prime of of- fensive, or in'fact whether both are not of major importance. The Turks may ‘have 400,000 troops available for operations ,in European Turkey and ' the Gallipoli. peninsula. It is doubtful whether this force is evenly divided.: ‘The objective of the Allies therefore is probably to hold in check the “largest number of the Turkish armies by defensive tactics while advancing against the weaker divisions. ¥ i Indications suggest that the Turks at present have concentrated a very strong force at the Gallipoli land- ings. Constantinople contributes to this belief by‘declaring the French and - British have 'been driven back to their ‘transports along the Galli- [.poli _shore. g 23 2.'While-at the same time, it seems to be a fact thaf the Turks are being forced inland &t Enos. - The extreme reticence of the French and British government- in‘ announcing detail of the Constantinople campaign makes deductions tentative, but it is proba- ble that if either ‘of the two offen- sives now being organized is a blind that one is the Gallipoli advance. The Fire Worshipers. Azerbatjan, u province in morthwest- ern Persia, is the home of the descend- ants of the Ghebers, the ancient fire worshipers of Persia. The whole coun- tryside is admirably adapted to the propagation of a fire worshiping creed, for earthquakes and caverns vomiting fumes from subterranean conflagra- tions abound in the neighborhood of Tabriz. - One of the nost remarkable caverns in the:world is that of Secun- dereah, whose character resembles the Grotto del Cane.of Naples. It gives off noxious fumes, which at certain times are certain death to man and beast. But the most astonishing place in Azer- baijan is the ruined city of Takht-- Suleimaun, or Solomon's temple. The city stands on a-hill 150 feet high, with a wall of thirty feet embracing the crumbling remains of temple and shrine. In the midst is a “lake of deep- est azure.” Although most of the bulldings are of the-Mohammedan pe- viod. there is gne striking mass which has been identified as the temple of the fire worshipe!
