SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.

EI-Financial Clerk NEcPartland's
Accounts show Discrepancies of
Observation-Disclosures Made by His
Frfends-The Manner in Which
His Alleged He Secured the Money
The Case Will Probably be Dropped.
The disclosures made yesterday at the
city hall that Joseph Fl. Mcfarland, late
financial clerk of Town Agent Clarity, was
short in his accounts, caused no end of
discussion and talk, and although at first
the statement was generally discredited, 1t
finally came to be believed and the amount
of the shortage became known as $1,000
The town will lose none of this amount as
McPartland's friends have made restitution
and the matter will probably be allowed to
rest where 1t Is.
For several weeks past Town Agent Gar
rity, said yesterday, he had been investi-
eating the accounts of his financial clerk
and finally ascertained that there was a
shortage in the accounts of 81 300, and he
deemed 1t best to call special meeting of
the board of selectmen.
This special meeting was held yesterday
afternoon in the town agents Office at
o'clock and a star chamber session of ovel
| two hours duration was held. During
this session Town Agent Clarity detailed
| the facts in the case substantially as fol
lows:
The investigations were started by the
suspicion that Mcfarland had hypothe-
Gated his salary check eight times. About
| the middle of the month he would draw
1 If oo1o 81 &Ia oe l..
month would make out q voucher for the
remaining 500 and receive a check TO,
that amount. The amount on the check
| was in each of the eight instances changed
to $3.50, but the amount on the stub of the
| check book was not changed. The total
| amount so secured was $500.
| After these discrepancies were dis
| covered the Investigations were continued
| and before completed showed other dis
/ crepanoies amounting to 81 800, which,
| with the other $500, makes a total OF
81 300. Town Agent Clarity said that the
manner in which the 81, 500 was secured
was by doctoring the deposit slips. As an
| example on July 3, 1898, Mcfarland re-.
| four checks, one for $35, one for $40, one
for $50422 and one for $55 for deposit in
bank. At the bank the slip he deposited
| recorded only 81 in bills. Before taking
the stamped slip back to the town agent it
1t claimed that Mcfarland made the 81
read $44, and by the use of chemicals
changed the total footing of the slip so as
to accord with the slip held by the town
| agent.
| The examination of the books, etc., was
| made by Town Agent Clarity, Selectman
| Cunningham and Attorney Frank b Kelly,
| who has been acting as clerk of the board
| since MoPartland's resignation. At no
| time has any expert been at work on the
books. At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the town agent stated that friends of Nc
Psrtland had made restitution of the en-
tire amount and it was voted not to do
anything further in reference to the mat
ter. At the meeting Town Counsel Pardes
was also present.
The alleged discrepancies in the deposit
clips cover a period of about eighteen
months from February 20, 1892, to Sept
tember 2, 1898, as shown by the following
table:

A FRESH DISCOVERY.

The combined legal talent OF the
treasury department has made the
discovery that under the statutes as
they now exist the secretary has the
power TO issue legal tenders up to
the amount of s3sOOOO,OOo. This will
give him the power to exchange about
S63, 100000 Of legal tenders for gold.
It ia supposed that the amount will
be sufficient for the present emer-
Rency. In che meantime the depart
ment remains apparently oblivious to
the fact that it has about 100000
oun.es Of uncoined silver in its vaults;
that it has free authority to coin this
bullioni that the treasury notes are
redeemable in these dollars, and that
in order to redeem these notes it is not
necessary 10 60 back to forgotten
statutes, but simply comply with the
law of 1890.
There is no need of issuing legal
tenders for the purpose of buying
gold. II the secretary has the power
to increase the issue of legal tenders
Experimentation the amount now
said to be in circulation up to $780,
100000, he should do 80 ut once.
Never in the financial history of the
government was there such need for
more currency. Banks and CONNER
cial houses are going to the wall every
day because they cannot obtain the
currency with which to transact their
business. So far as it. is within his
power, therefore, it is the evident duty
of the secretary to relieve this strain.
But it is not necessary to buy gold.
It ia only necessary to properly nd
minister the law of 1890, and coin
silver for the redemption of the treas
ury notes issued in payment for silver
bullion purchased. Until this is done
the drain Of gold from the treasury
will go on, and the department will
remain merely clearing house for
the transfer Of yellow coin to Europa.
