Strict Accounting Required
The Attorney General said the former
Treasurer will be ren.ulred te make a

he utilized, according te his own testi
mony, te take care of persons suggested
hj the late Senater Crew, for years Re
publican State chairman. If such an
accounting is impossible or unsatisfac
tory te the fiscal officers and the At
torney General, restitution must be
made by Mr. Kephart and these per
sons who received payments from the
fund. Mr. Alter said.
Collection of interest en large checks
held by the Carnegie Trust Company, of
Pittsburgh, during the time of the exist
ence of the se-called "war emergency
fund," which was created by an under
standing between Jehn A. Hell, presi
dent of the company, and Mr. Kep
hart, will be made, if possible, and
Mr. Kephart must pay te the Common
wealth Interest of 0 per cent for the
use of the 1IU5 contingent fund of
10,000 for the time he took it out
until he refunded It later. That in
terest will amount te approximately

fany's Interest due is paid te be about

In the legal proceedings, the prosecu

Bell.
The Attorney General alleges there
were ether phaces of official misconduct
en the part of the former State Treas
urer which in themselves nre action
able, but holds that the statute of limi
tations new prevents prosecution
If no satisfactory accounting is made
for alleged Improper use of th" 1M7
contingent fund, he said, the Treasurer
should be celled upon te make restitu

accounted for.

Kipling's Criticism
Stirs All America
Continued from I'nice One
and out" nnd cannot pay arc again the
victims of German propaganda. He
described it ns the war still going en,
but underground, as the result of Its
net having been fought te a finish.
In most of the comment en this criti
cism there was n note of disappoint
ment that Rudyard Kipling, the Amer
ican literary Idel of former days, should
have Indulged In statements regarded ns
wholly unfair nnd tending te lrritnte
both the British nnd American people.
Army officers who were In France
during the war recalled having seen
the British poet nt the front, nnd most
of them commented en the fact thnt
he seemed in n critical mood concern
ing eery thing.
Regarded ns Propaganda
The attempt te minimize the part
which tbe United States played In the
war Is recogni7ed here as prevalent In
many foreign circles nnd rcgnrded as
the result of propaganda. General
Pershing refused te comment en the In
terview for publication en the ground
that his official position did net warrant
him in talking.
Among the lenders In official life who
commented en the Interview were :
Edwin Denby, Secretary of the Navy
"Rudyard Kipling has given me se
much plensurc during my life that I de
net care te comment ndverscly upon
the harsh criticisms he makes of my
country. I can hardly believe that Mr.
Kipling snld the things accredited te
him nnd. If he did se, he has been mis mis
Infermed." Berah Charges Ingratitude.
Sennter Berah "Ungrateful, sclf sclf
wershlpful, mercenary, vindictive. It
is the raw English, with nil the official
veneer nnd diplomatic ointment peeled
off. If this is the view of the English
nnd Kipling has been called the voice
of the English eul what a delightful
associate Great Britain would make In
In n League w ith five votes te our one !
What a joyful, generous, political ally
for life!"
Senater Simmons, of North Caro
lina "The Kipling nssnult en the
United States is unwnrrantnd and
vicious. We were slew te enter a quar
rel abroad, nnd we were right in that.
But when forced In by clicumstnnccs
and the behavior of tJermnnj, then we
fought with all of our might. We
used our money and men freely, nnd
such criticism Is unjust."
Fermer Senater Geerge E. Chamber
loin, of Oregon, who was emi'rinnn of
the Senate Conimi'tee en .Military Af
fuli:. during the war. si'd liJ n "very
much surprised" at Kipling's nlleged
remarks.
New Yerk, Sept. 11. Obviously at
tempting te couch in parliamentary
laneuage his difference with Rudyard
Kipling, with whom he hns been en
terms of intimate friendship for jears,
Sir Gilbert Parker, Ihe British author
nnd publicist, who 'irrived In the United
States a few days nce, told a reporter
yesterday that Mr. Kipling's bitter nt
taeks upon America's attitude before,
during and since the war, as reported
bj Clare Sheridan, were te be taken
purely ns representing the British poet's
pergenal opinion nnd were distinctly
unrepresentative of the reaction of the
grent hulk of the HrHf-h people.
Commenting en Mr Kipling's state
ment, the World. In its issue cster
da , snld editorially :
' Every once In n while Mr. Rudyard
Kipling's bleed pressure rises and he
feels himself urged te prophecy. On
these occasions the voice, the gestures.
the lightning nnd thunder, nic perfectly
rehearsed.
"Explaining himself te Mrs. Cliire
Sheridnn is absolutely fatal te Mr.
Kipling. The erncle turns out te be
a fussy little mnn who steed en VImy
Rlde in n stovepipe het nnd a frock
coat and viewed the agony of Europe,
with the mind of 'n dowager mewing for
bleed '
'Fer with n bloedthlrstlness nnd nn
ignorance of the facts se much mer
characteristic of the terrible lighters In
fashionable drawing-rooms than of the
soldiers in the field, Mr. Kipling finds
the explanation of everything thnt Is
wrong In the Imaginary fact that
America had forced the Allies Inte
malting peecc et the nrst opportunity
Instead of Insisting upon finishing In
ISerlln.' This explains belshevism and
German propaganda and nnti-French
sentiment nnd criticism of the repara
tien policy.
"The statement Is a lie. Rut Mr.
Kipling himself Is net n liar. He Is
merely Irresponsibly repenting a He.
"Fer the truth is that America did
net force the Allies te make pence nt
the first opportunity. The truth 1r .
that the Mritisn ami the f rencn Armies
through Fech nnd Helg Insisted en the
armistice against the pretest of Per
shlnir and the American command.
"The war ended net one minute tee
seen. It ended with a victory se ab
solute that the victors had it in their
power te dictate te the whole Continent
of Eurepe nnd did dlctnte. The ienl
tragedy of the pence Is that the victors
could net refrain from nbuslng the
jievver which the soldiers hnd wen. And
for thnt the spirit of Rudyard Kipling
is chiefly responsible. The credulity,
the self-righteousness, the Irresponsi
bility nnd the bleed lust which he voices
nre preclsely the reason why geed faith
nnd wisdom were suffocated In Pnrls by
Rrltlsh imperialism and French mill
turlsin. "Mr Kipling Is net the mnn who Is
entitled or able te mnke the criticism.
for his temper In International nITnlrH
la that of Ludcnderff, of the French
royalists, of our own Henry Cabet
Ledges and William Randelph Uearbtu,
It Is a poisonous pest."

The auction of mere than 20,000 ar

of it must be out of the building be
fore Saturday, for the place is te be
razed before the end of the month,
in spite of the hundreds of valuable
or interesting nrtlcles Included in the
sale, there was en hand only a small
crowd of second -hand dealers, land
ladies of lodging houses nnd a few be
wildered brides.
The deft nnd tireless efforts of the
auctioneers te whoop tip n little en
thusiasm were vnin. Bids were few,
nnd the reluctant nnd continued shout
ing of a contemptuous "Cheap ns
dirt!" by the first assistant auctioneer
availed nothing.
Soen the bend auctioneer, precari

melancholy :

The "vile movies, liquor gang nnd

category today at the first meeting of
the season of the Baptist ministers.
The Rev. Dr. J. Francis Bchrcns, in
his sermon before the clergymen in the
First Bnptlst Church, Seventeenth nnd
Sansom streets, declared the Interests
mentioned were antagonistic te tbe
teachings, of Christ.
"The vile movies, the liquor gang
nnd the drug ring," he snid, "all sny
te Christianity, 'Get out of our way,
de net Interfere with us, we want te
de ns we please.' "
The "flagrant violation of the eight
eenth amendment" by the shipping In
terests of the country, Including the
Shipping Beard, has been denounced te
the Wnte Department by letter, nc nc
cerdlilg te the Rev. E. B. Pollard, n
membtr of the Civic Righteousness
Committee of the Bnptlst ministers.
It was reported by Dr. Pollard that
the resolution adopted liiFt year, that
n letter be sent te the State Depart
ment en this subject, had been duly
followed out. The Government, how
ever, he explained, seemed te be doing
everything possible te curb the illicit
liquor trade. It Is n delicate subject,
he said, and must be handled diplomat
ically. Much, he said, depends upon
public opinion In the light ngninst

A letter will be sent President Hard
