Report Regarding an Alleged
Irregular Payment.
MAY BE PROSECUTION
STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY COM
MITTEE ON INVESTIGATION.
Exoneration Of Gen. Harries and Others
Maj. Twombly's Explanation
Commissioners Act.
MAY BE PROSECUTION

The Commissioners received this morn
ing the report of the investigating commit
tee of the board of education in the mat
ter Of the payment Of the claim of Miss
Frances Benjamin Johnston for photo
graphs. through the purchase of $500 worth
of maps from John c. Parker Of this city.
It is alleged the maps were never de-
livered, nor intended to be delivered, and
that Mr.. Parker turned over the money
received by him to Miss Johnston. The
receipt of this report was the first official
information the Commissioners had regard
ing the matter General H. V. Boynton,
president Of the board. notified Commits
sioner mcfarland last Friday that an in
vestigation was in progress and would be
reported
Mr.. Macfarland called a meeting of The
board when the report was placed before
him this morning 1t was determined that
prosecution in the criminal courts should De
made If a statute can be found covering tl';
case There is a United States statute.
they were informed by Corporation Counsel
Duyall but whether this applies In the case
of a claim against the District is matter
yet to be determined. Mr.. Duvall was
closeted with the Commissioners 1or some
time and was instructed to proceed In the
case without delay in conjunction with the
United States district attorney.
Motion by Mr.. mcfarland.
After the board session it was announced
that the Commissioners had adopted the
following motion made by Commissioner
Macfarland:
"A violation of the law having been COM
mitted, apparently. in the transaction de-
scribed in the inclosed report, l move that
the report and all other papers relating 10
the matter be referred to the corporation
counsel. with instructions to take imme-
diately such steps as are practicable to in
sure prosecution-by conference with the
district attorney of the United States for
the District of Columbia or otherwise.
A question which may come up In con-
nection with the proposed criminal pro-
ceedings is as to the discrepancy of $74 be-
tween the 5000 alleged to have been paid
to Mr.. Parker and the 1926 which was the
full amount of Miss Johnston's claim.
One of the interesting features of the case
is that bids were called for by the board OF
education for furnishing the maps involved
in the present controversy. Mr.. Parker bid
5000 and Rand & McNally bid $3.50.

six months ago when the lameness
