ACCOUNTS ARE
BADLY TANGLED
Experts Find State of Affairs in
Records at st.
Joseph.

st. Joseph. Sept. 26-The report of
the expert accountants who have
been working on the books of the city
under the director of Mayor John V.
Starr, has astOnished the citizens of
this city. The period under inveStiga-
ton is from Jan. !, 1901, to March 81,
1902. The report alleges that hun
dredS of receipts for vouchers for war
rants issued by the city are missing,
the total amounting to So. $50. Paid
vouchers for nearly $1,000 show no
approval by the council, and there is
no record for contracts for street work,
aggregating thousands of dollars.
Neither is there verifcation of sa-
loon licenses nor of the fees collected.
Hundreds of license stubs are missing,
as also are 1000 water stubs. War
rants paid by the city treasury that do
rot bear the Endorsement of the mayor
exceed $4,000, and there appears to be
no regard of special assessments. The
books of the treasurer show no remit
tances for several months. while dis
bursement for loan and interest on the
city debt have been made without the
authority of the council.

more vital yet is the growth of the

If mathematics is good for anything
it proves that greenbacks cannot be
procured in volume enough to be more

less within his control for actual use
than gold is; he cannot make silver

can stop the majestic force.

ARBITRATION Is DECLINED
STIH Owners at Minneapolis Say They Can
Pay No Higher Wages.


Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 2G.-Mayor
Haynes in pursuance of his promise
TO the mill strikers to seek arbitration,
sent n letter to the mill owners re-
questing their acquiescence in his 1p-
pointment of an arbitration board OF
five members. The reply Of the mil
lers says:
"a request was made early in the
week by a committee of employees to
arbitrate this question. We declined
to entertain this proposition. The
question was fully canvassed at that
time and our reply was distinct enough
to>be thoroughly understood. We have
no hesitation in saying further that we
prefer to shut down our mills if We
cannot find men willing to work at the
present sclae of hours and wages.
-
I'VE have in the past made con.
cessions and sacrifices to our men,
raised their wages, shortened their
hours and at times run the mills at
loss to ourselves. We should be
pleased to have a private conference
with you at your Office at any hour
you name, if in your opinion it is
necessary, but our decision is final"
