MONEY MISSING.
Deficiency OF SOL 900 in Accounts
of Statc Department..

Deficiency OF S61 900 in Accounts
of State Department.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 29-As re-
suit oil an investigation into the accounts Of
the state department. treasury experts have
found Il greater deficiency than existed in
the accounts of librarian Spolford. The total
deficiency so far discovered, amounts it is
stated to $1,000. Secretary Olney is de-
termined upon getting the facts. The au-
thorities are uneasily anticipating the finding
of u deficiency which added TO the 200,
will swell the total to nearly the 800, 900
mark.
Some months ago Secretary OlDey asked
for the immediate resignation OF Francis }.
KiecKhoefer, disbursinS officer of the state
department This followed an inyestga ton
then Just begun by treasury experts. Enough
was found 10 convince the secretary that Mr..
Kieck khoeiers services conld be dispensed
with 1t was thought at that time that he
had simply been careless in not turning the
monies received into the treasury once each
month as required by law A few days later
Frank Brannagan. disbursing officer in the
attorney generals Office, was selected as Mr..
kieckhoefer's successor.
Mr.. KieckhUefer was made acquainted with
the new discoveries. He denies that he had
acted criminalIy in any way, but it is stated
positively that rs the investigation proceeded
he began to return sums of money until the
total amount refunded reach ed about $780,
600. The first large sum he turned into thu
treasury was $32 600. and this was added to
until about month ago when the total
reached about $50 900 It is evident that
kieckhoefer has refused to make good the
remaining 81 900, and il is stated that the
treasury department bas decided to begin Il
suit for this amount against his bondsmen.

sit commission office for infor-

the subway beyond the Park street
church, the hackIeyed stereotyped
phrase, Still working on the plans !;
nothing definite yet, is given. But
there nrc those who profess to know
something Of the workings OF the com
mission, who say that the five gentle
men entrusted with the carrying ont
of Boston's 81, 600, 600 transit scheme,
are in quandary what to do.
Transit engineers are not at all dis
turbed at this phase of the subway
plan. They say that modern euSl-
nccring is able to overcome all these
difficulties, and that such contingent
cies have been provided for by the
all providing genius of the engineer
ing department OF the transit com
mission. "Most OF the subway route
will necessarily lie along narrow streets
which nre nearly filled with street rail
ways, gas pipes, water pipes, electric
copduits, sewers, etc. The subway
construction will extend deeper than
the foundations OF most Of the build
ings which lie along its side. Injury
to these structures would necessa-
rily entail a great loss, and the
subway should be so planned
ana built as to avoid such injury. 1t
is obvious that intelligent and ecomi-
cal designs must necessarily be based

The Women Teachers OF Boston.
The fact that the women teachers
OF Boston are about to appeal to the
school board en- masse for an increase
OF salary indicates that they do not re-
gard themselves as properly pad, aud
that they feel strongly the justice of
their cause. The teachers in the third
and fourth grades have already petit
toned for better pay,uud whether any
others find rclIct or not they need
consideration because their are
lar too small but the grammar school
teachers are also making a similar APP
plication, and the high school teach
ers are preparing to follow SUIT. This
request is not made IN the spirit of
strike 1t comes from mgh-mIud-
ed women who are putting their best
personal force into the work that they
are doing, and who feel keenly that
their services should be property paid
for. They bring to their duties the
highest character, unstlnted service,
and a fidelity that Is everywhere ac-
kuowledged, aud iu many cases they
receive such small salaries that it IS
with difficulty that they are able to
support themselves. II is not good
policy to keep such public servants III
pinched condition. The tendency
OF our time is to throw more and more
| the work of the home INTO the public
! school, and it comes to these women,
who are often the ioster-mOthers OF
| the children under their care, to do
! much more than the work of teaching.
| ANY one who Is familiar with what
! goes on in our schools knows that
! these teachers earn much more than
they are paid for and that their
| petition comes, not from those who
are salary grabbers, but from those
who feel keenly that an unstinted SER
vice in which they are constantly CIV
ing of their very best should be prop
erly appreciated. 1t may not be pos
sibIe To increase their salaries us 4
whole during the present school year,
but their united voices, asking for Il
candid hearing on the merits Of their
case, deserve to be heard.
