Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind Aug. S.-The new law
requiring all trustees of schoo funds to
make and publish the first Monday in
August. each year. statements of all re-
ceipts and disbursements for the previous
year, has brought Charles Clark, trustee
Of Jackson township this county, to re-
p%entance for the misuse of the trust funds
in his hands. Clark was slow in coming
to the city to make his report as the law
requires. This caused a renewal of the re-
port some days ago that his accounts were
not In proper shape. His bondsmen, who
have suspected him for some months,
called on him for an explanation and he
confessed that he was short. The Informal
ton which followed shows the shortage
to be 50. $50. Clark has nothing TO say on
the subject. nut his friends believe that he
used the funds to pay obligations con-
tracted previously to his entering on the
duties of his office. and that he has not
now property to replace the shortage. He
has a good bond and the township will
In the end loose nothing. but the incoming
trustee will be subjected to much annoy
