The alleged shortage of $780, 800 in the

having appropriated the money to hia

spent for certain department work for
which 1t was not intended. 1t Is not
charged that ho stole a dollar, OF that the
government has lest a cent by his trans.

honest disbursement for unauthorized
purposes, yet the government got value

thorlty, he is now called upon to make up

already expended upon the canal. 1t
