State's In vestments are Discussed See Probability of Sale to School Fund if Treasury Should Be in Need of Cash Supply. i State Treasurer- Bass went to Grand Island Tuesday evening to at tend the meeting of the Nebraska grand lodge of Odd Fellows. A state ment by him regarding the payment of a service charge to banks for car ing for more than $4,000,000 of state funds on deposit will be made pub lic Wednesday, he said. He made no advance statement' regarding the re- i port that he had amended his oiler and now proposes to pay banks a service charge of 1 percent, which is the maximum' authorized by act of the legislature. The recent investment of 1,200, 000 of state funds, in government bonds, made as a result of the re fusal of- banks' to pay 2 percent in terest on state deposits and at the same time furnish bonds for security of deposits and receive only one-half of 1 percent from the treasurer as a service -charge? it is now pointed out could be transferred to the state board of educational lands and funds as an investment of state school funds. The government bonds bear ing 3 percent went tiown 9 points, it is, alleged and,, it .the state, should need the money instead of the bonds it might have to sell them at a dis count upon the open market. It is now alleged that -another way would be to sell the . bonds to the state board of educational lands and funds and let the state school funds carry the Investment which nets 3 percent to the holder. MAN OF MILLIONS IS DEAD Cleveland Samuel Mather, whose name is -linked with the greatest of the empire builders of the last cen tury, died suddenly at his home here early Sunday, His death removes one of the strongest figures of the na tion's iron and steel industry, and since 1883 a powerful influence in the vast empire of mining, shipping and manufacturing centered in the Great Lakes region. Little known in a public way, Mr. Mather contri buted a fortune to philanthropies and was one of the country's wealthiest men. Small, with keen bright eyes, he moved quietly in financial and pbil anthroplcal works. He avoided in terviewers and publicity and for that reason the bulk of his benefactions probably never will be known. His gifts in education, music and medi cine in Cleveland are known to have exceeded $7,000,000. He fought with proponents of the recently collapsed billion dollar mer ger of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Bethlehem Steel corpor ation. Holder of 60.000 shares of Sheet and Tube stock, he took sides against his fellow townsman, Cyrus S. Eaton, and his brother, W. U. Mather.' HIGHWAY IS ORGANIZED Toledo, O.
