first commenced last July soon after
Milligan began his duties at the Office.
Apparently the first sums were used
To cover his shortage at the Interna-
tional Company.
TOOK LITTLE AT FIRST.
y. w. skinner, who discovered the
shortage. talked with Milligan and his
statement that he had taken the
amount shown missing on the books
was the means OF clearing up the af-
fair. During the month OF July a small
amount had been taken, and on April i
the shortage amounted to $500. Then.
on April ., Milligan made his largest
stroke, and secured the sum OF $4,000.
That was the last he had the opportu-
nifty of taking.
There Is evidence TO show that every
bit OF this money has been lost in the
way other men have lost the sums they
held In trust. Milligan spent ii all in
the bucket shops. At times he was near
ly thousand dollars ahead, and then
he would lose it until he had hard work
to cover up all the amounts that were
disappearing in the witie-open pockets
OF stock speculation through the bucket
shops. 1t is believed that the last large
sum went to cover up serious loss
which he had sustained with his un-
fortunate investments.
MANY BUCKET SHOP TICKETS.
When he was arrested his pockets
were found to be filled with bucket
shop tickets and receipts. which COW
cred nearly all the amount OF the short
age. They ranged In sums from $500
up to $1,000. Milngan then admitted
that he had been gambling and that he
had done so ever since he went TO work.
1t Is said that he was once employed
in a bucket shop and thought he could
manipulate stocks to his advantage.
Milligan Is under bonds of $4,000 with
the Fidelity and Deposit Company OF
Baltimore. This will make the loss to
the company s5300 and II ds said by the
officials that the company Is In. condi-
tion to stand the loss without embar-
rassment. The company has been noti-
fed OF Milligan's arrest.
Milligan Is n tall rather thin-faced.
but clean looking fellow. He took his
arrest calmly enough. but was very
pale when taken TO the City Prison by
Sergt. Cassidy and Patrolman Gallivan
last night. He made the request that
his wife be notified.

He IS A OEFAULTER.
Teller Herbert T. >Mi||igan Placed
Under Arrest al Boston.
Canisssss That He Took $10,30o From
Union Trust Company

Boston, April 11.--As a result of n
call made by the National Bank exami-
ners, who were at work on the books OF
the winthrop National bank as to the
standing of the Union Loan e. Trust
company, 246 Washington street. the
treasurer. b. w. Skinner. discovered
yesterday afternoon that the ledger
showed the company was $1,000 short.
MIR. Skinner called the teller Herbert T.
anlligan, to his Office, and asked for an
explanation.
Mr.. Milligan admitted, when con-
fronted with the facts, that he had
taken $4,000 Of the company's funds on
April 2. This clue was followed up. and
the further searching showed that the
sum of $40, 800 was missing.
To President William T.. Barrett and
Mr. Skinner the confession was made
by Mr.. Milligan that he had taken that
amount for his own use. Ii had all
gone AZ speculation in the bucket shops.
MILLIGAN ARRESTED.
A call was sent TO station and Pa
trolman Rankin placed Mr.. Milligan
under arrest. He is charged with the
larceny OF $i0.300 from the Trust COM
pany. He spent last night in the Tonbs,
unable to secure bail.
MIL gan is II years OF age and lives
Oh Woodbury. avenue, Saugus. He is
married.
1t is story of another man fallen,
one who had been trusted, and, though
young I'm years, honored with q posi-
tion Of trust. Every confidence was
felt In MIR. Milligan by the officials OF
the Union Loan a. Trust company.
There was no suspicion that he could
In any way be implicated In any wrong
doing. and the discovery OF the COM
pany's shortage came TO them a. a se-
we're shock.
ANOTHER RASCALITY.
In addition to having confessed his
abstraction of the funds Of the Trust
Company young Milligan also admit
ted TO the officials that he had done the
same thing before where he was for
merly c!apiOyed and where he loft with
high recommendations. He confessed
10 having taken the sum of 500 from
the International Trust Company by
whom he was formerly employed. How
he obtained the money he did not say.
bat he did make the statement that he
had refunded IL out of the money taken
from the Union Loan and Trust Conn
pany.
The latter company started In bust.
ness last July, and Mr.. Milligan applied
for a position. He had high recommend
ations from international ofiioials, and
was accepted being given the position
OF teller which he filled acospt0hly To
the officials OF the Union Company.
According to the discoveries made
during the examination the shortage

 It is the one check the state has on the abuse of it's philanthropy, and one means the state can exercise to cut down these expenses Nobody would attempt for a moment to stop this gen. erosity of the government, which bal ances many petty meannesses-thoug the compensation of a dustman by the board of trade by no means justifies the neglect of a soldier by the war of flee.
 But there ought to be limits even to the generosity of the state and it is good to see that the government spent ten thousand pounds last year to re- deem annual payments to people who have never earned them, and who know little or nothing of the reason why they were granted.

THE BOARD OF COUNCILMENI
Continued from First page.)

Some opposition developed in regard to the request from the Trades Coun- cil for an order concerning the work on the new school buildings to be erected l during the ensuing year. The council l had sent in request for the passage and transmission to the board of edu- cation of an order for the insertion In contracts and specifications for the new buildings clause requiring the con- tractor to employ none but union labor. Under the rules of the board of coun- cilmen unanimous consent must be given for the consideration of new reso- lutions and orders Councilman Hewitt and others objected to giving unani- nous consent and the communication was referred to the committee on build-E ing, making non-concurrent action.
 The board of relief members hare now entered upon new attempt to se- cure additional pay for their extra ser- vices in hearing appeals from the board of assessors on the new assessment of real property in the city. They first sent to the board of finance for $500 each for their additional work The charter provides that the salary of members of the board shall be $500 per annum. In view of this provision the bills were returned by the board of finance. Last night communication was received from the board of relief requesting that the corporation counsel be directed to attempt to secure such an amendment of the charter as will permit of paying an additional sum to the members of the board for extra services, such as those in connection with the reassessnlent. The communi- cation was referred to the committees on legislation.
 The resolution presented some time ago by Alderman Miller of the Seventh ward to provide for securing from the legislature authority to issue S500,000 worth of street pavement bonds came up for action last night. The resolu- ton was referred to committee by the aldermen, but last night the councilmen tabled tt.
 Councilman Harkins presented a. resolution providing that the special committee which is now holding hear- ings on the charges preferred by Ans thony Carroll against City Engineer Kelly be authorized to employ stenog- rapher to take notes of the testimony given before the committee. The reso- lution called forth considerable discuss sion and was finally tabled.
 The estimates as submitted by the S board of finance were taken up and the councilmen concurred with the alder- men in referring them to special com- mittee to consist of the chairmen of the various joint standing committees. This special committee will probably be called together soon and public hear- ings will be given The committees must complete it's work by December 20, when any change which the common council will make must be made, other- wise the estimates must stand as req ported by the board of finance.

TANNING A COLONIAL SHREw.

In colonial days it was customary for bethrothed young women to ride to the nearest town, mounted on billion be- hind father or lover, for the purpose of purchasing their wedding outfit. One such prospective bride, the fair but quick-tempered Nancy, went up to Boston with Eben, whom she was soon to marry, and the pair achieved an ex- hausting but satisfactory days shop ping. When, in the cool of the early evening, they started on their twenty mile journey home, they carried, slowed Gnugly away about pocket and saddle, some dozen of their precious purchases.
 About half way Nancy missed q package, and wished to turn back and look for it--she was sure 1t had been dropped But Eben reminded her that at the moment of leaving two parcels had been hastily combined into one, and assured her that nothing was lost she had merely miscounted. But she was not convinced.
 ''There should be thirteen!" she de- cIared; "a bakers duzen."
 "Twelve only--a dozen. but not a bakers dozen" Eben maintained stoutly.
 Then Nancy lost her temper. She vowed she was right, and that she meant to recover the missing parcel. Would he ride back at once? Amiably, but decidedly, he would not; it was getting too late to waste time. Very well, then would he stop and allow her to dismount? He could do as he pleased himself, but she was going back to look for her parcel, if she went alone and on foot But he declined to

stop. Then Nancy tempestuously flung down one of her bundles on the high way and, sarcastically telling him that this time something was missing be- yond question, imperatively demanded that he should stop the horse.
 But Eben big, lazy and good tenn pered, was not without spirit when aroused, and he replied that if she chose to throw things away in a tantrum he could not stop her, but neither would he stop for her In a fury, she tossed away a second parcel, and continued to do so--one at each milestone-until the journey ended. When at length he set her down on her own doorstone she was sobbing and storming in her wrath, while he was still to outward appear ance placid and serene.
 On that same doorstone the next morning she found her twelve parcels lying in row, each neatly numbered, lie had ridden back alone and collected them, and their contents proved that he was right, for nothing was missing.
 As very old woman Nancy used to tell this tale against herself to her t-grandchildren, always concluding with; And sarved me right If any body but your gran'ther had married me, I've doubts he might have married a shrew."

more than to demonetize both.
Few persons can be found, apprchend.
who will maintain that Congress nos

be justified In prohibiting the coinage
