Kumored Deficiency in the Equipment Fund.
New YORK, July 30.-It was rumored this
afternoon around City Hall that deficiency
existed in the accounts of the Police Depart
mcnt The Commissioners Of Accounts have
for some time past been investigating the
books of the various city departments. and to-
day Commissioner Shoarman handed in his re-
port to Mayor Cooper of the examination he
made Of the books of the Police Department.
1t was said that this report showed deficiency
in the equipment account of the board of about
$4,000, and this was said to have occurred
through profits from some of the supplies not
having been accounted for. The equipment
bureau Of the board of which Police Commits
sioner Wheeler is treasurer, obtains supplies
from contractors and deals them out. Commits
sioner Shearmon refused TO say anything about
the matter to-day. Mayor Cooper, when ap.
preached, said, "One of the Commissioners of
Accounts has made statements to me in rela-
ton to the Equipment Bureau of the Police
Department, but have nothing to say about
the matter until find what explanation may
