(United Press correspondent.) Washington, July 19.—President Wilson's position on reservation to the peace treaty was today the sub- ject of a warm dispute between Sen- ators. Those who want reservations de- clared the president has indicated to recent callers that he might be will- ing to accept explanatory or inter- pretative reservatjons. Administra- tion senators replied that he is un- alterablyagainst reservations of any sort, but that he was considering. It was considered significant that following a conference with the president last night Senator Hitch- cock, administration spokesman, said the whole question now is the form and the wording of the resolution of ratification. There is no longer any danger of amendment to the treaty. It will be ratifled without the dotting of an i or the crossing of a t, so far as the text is gonoerneg. DRY VOTE NEXT WEEK.

CHECK SHOWS STATE WORTH 40 MILLION ONLY TEXAS LARGER End of Fiscal Year Shows More Than Million Increase In Trust Fund. St Paul, July 19 .-anesnla is wortli around $40,000,000 today. Per- maneat trust funds of the state have been checked up for halances at the end of the fiscal vear, June 30, 1919. The increase for the past eleven months was $1,421,986.29. The last Legislature changed the end of the fisci] vear from July 31 to June 30, else the state's profits the past year’ would he close to $2,000,000. More than $3,000,000 of this fund is nov. in Liberty bhonds. The state at various times has sold $: of bonds of other states which was converted into Liberty bonds, paying 4% per cent interest, compared with 3 and 3% for state bonds More than half the total is tied up in loans to municipalities. Compared with the other counties in population, Ramsey and Hennepin counties have a very small percentage of these loans. Hennepin county owes the state only $294,100, and Ramsey county but 8254 345. St. Louis county (Du- luth) has the largest single group of loans, $1,762,524. Scott county has the least, with $19,000. Applications for abow $3.000,000 in loans to municipalities now are on file in the office of State Treasurer Henry Rines. As considerable delay always is experienced in granting, the more populous counties generally seek private capital. With the exception of Texas, Min- nesota has the largest fund of any state in the Union, according to George LaFond, accountant who in- quired of all state tresurers recently about the prosperity of their states.
