the other would be entirely without ius-
uhcation as far as the time roll was con-
cerned, and by comparison with that rec
ord must be considered an excess or ur-
authorized payment. l think that in every
instance of that kind the excess warrant
tEe one for which there appeared no -edit
IN days upon the time rollls-was the
smaller. For instance. a check for 50 and
one for 81 were drawn in favor of the
same man on the same day. The IS check
would be found to be perfectly correct
but no time entry would be found to
Justify the check for $4.
SIGNATURES NOT GENUINE.
There is very strong evidence that
the endorsements on the excess or sup
Elementary checks are not genuine Com
parison with the checks that are known
to be in correct form shows that the in
dorsements are not in the same hand
writing, and in some cases the names
are spelled so differently as to preclude
all possibility Of their having been writ
ten by the same person. In some in
stances the person who made out the
cneckS misSpelled the name of the payee
but he IN indorsing the genuine check
spelled it correctly, while the person
who indorsed the excess check followed
the spelling on the face of it.
There are other cases in which the
excess payment has been made in one
check which is larger than the amount
authorized by the record on the time7
roll.
Thus; far the irregular checks found
have all passed through the hands of
p: M. Dickman and are indorsed "E. M.
hickman, by j. w. D.; but there are
a number of others which have passed
through other hands which are under in
Yestigation. [ am informed that e. M.
Dickman is the wife of J. w Dickman.
Mr. Steeg was informed of the alIega-
tions made in the letter which has been
mentioned in connection with this matter
and positively denies having proposed to
any person to falsely represent him
self as an employe of the city.

Claussen and told him to tell Mr.. Ge-
han that / would give him an opportunity

Beside the evidences of irregularities of
which | have spoken. charges have been
made to us that checks have been made

ADELPHI IGNORED.

Ladies, we have five minutes to
spare? Is there any new business to come
before the executive board?'
This was the only opportunity that
presented itself at the meeting of the
executive board of the State Federation
of Womens Clubs for the discussion of
applications for membership made by the
colored Adelphi club, of St Paul
Mrs. Lydia P. Williams, president Of
the state federation and chairman of the
executive board, put the above question.
Five minutes! Who for one moment could
think that so momentous question as
the color question could be settled or
even fully touched upon in five minutes? :?
1t wasn't No new business was brought
before the board, and it adjourned to the
auditorium of the church, where the con-
vention proper was called to order BIZ
Mrs. Lydia P. Williams
Beside auditing bills the executive
board did little of moment Its atti-
tude in regard to the color question was
the attitude everybody expected it to
take and little surprise was occasioned.
The Adelphi Club of st. Paul sent in its
application for admission Oct TO- The
application was sent to the committee on
membership. 1t rested with the discre-
ton of this committee whether or not
1T should be brought before the execu-
tive board The Five minutes given
by the diplomatic presiding officer pre-
cluded any possibility of this The mat,
ter will therefore rest until THURSDAY
morning, when it will be presented in the
report of the membership committee.
About 200 women were present In the
auditorium of the First Baptist church
when. Mrs Lydia P. Williams called
the convention to order About
half that number were delegates. al.
though 100 is by no means the full num-
Der of degelates expected at the con-
vention. Many more arrived on the
late afternoon trains today and a few
tardy or delayed ones will come tomor-
row morning.
The interior of the beautiful First
Baptist church auditorium was simply
decorated with a profusion of scarlet
and yellow autumn leaves and a few
palms. On the wall to the right of tho
hall was arranged an attractive array
of the programmes of the various clubs
for the year.

OWATONNA, Mimi, Oct. 15.-Two spe-
cial coaches attached 20 the Milwaukee
carried 115 delegates and a large num-
ber of visiting club women yesterday
morning to Owatonna. The train arrived
III Owatonna few minutes after IL
O'Clock, giving the visitors an opportunity
TO see about rooms and to have luncheon
before the opening of the convention at
l o clock. A deputation of Owatonna club
women was at the train to meet the
visitors and a cordial welcome was ac-
corded them.
~On the train going down club politics
were vigorously discussed. Announce
naent was made Informally that the
Adelphi club-the St Paul colored or
ganization-had sent in its application for
membership Oct. 10, and the application
was in the hands of Mrs. Lydia p Will
Jams, president of the state federation
and chairman OF the membership COM
mittee. Although the colored women had
many bitter opponents among the dele
gates the majority agreed that the
pluclly little gathering of dark skinned
women had entered on a fair fight and
was entitled to d fair hearing.
Next to the color question the choice
of president was absorbing theme.
So persistent was the rumor that Mrs.
Lydia P. Williams would, in spite of
her previous refusal consent to serve
another term that many delegates were
of the opinion that some authority must
have been obtained from Mrs. Williams
for the use of her name. Mrs Williams
however, MAS denied that she had even
thought of .reconsidering her withdrawal
from the contest
Mrs. H. A. Little, of Minneapolis; Mrs
George c. Squires, of st. Paul, and Mrs
G. o. Welch. of Fergus Falls. are promi-
nent candidates mentioned. Many of the
delegates are of the opinion, however
that the choice of president will puzzle
the convention and that the result will
surprise everybody.
