DELEGATE JUST OUT OF THE EGG

'cupants of the boxes on the east
side of the Columbia Theater this morn
ing were treated to bit of side talk"
which undoubtedly escaped the other
delegates on the fcor. A delegate from
one of the Western States. and presum-
ably newly elected and green" at the
business, timidly ventured a motion to
President Lynch that the body adjourn.
After a few passages of stage whispers,
President Lynch heard and understood
what the Western delegate desired, and
boldly said to him. well. why don't
you make the motion?" The delegate,
seeing his way made clear, hurriedly
made the motion and lost himself in
the crowd.

STEPS TAKEN TO ALTER
PETIYS LAX METHODS
Accepted Vouchers Not
Properly Itemized.
CORRECTIONS ARE ORDERED
Deputy Auditor Tweedale Insists That
Law Be Conformed With and Com
missioners' Approval Be Obtained

Another instance of lax administra-
tion on the part of former Auditor James
T. Petty was brought to light today
when the District Commissioners ap-
proved an order requiring that all vouch-
ers to be audited. be itemized. This or
der is. in reality, merely the re-enact-
ment of law passed June II. 1878, but
apparently ignored by Mr.. Petty. 1t was
then provided that:
"All taxes collected shall be paid into
the Treasury of the United States, and
the same, as we'll as the appropriations
to be made by Congress, as aforesaid.
shall be disbursed for the expense Of said
District, on itemized vouchers which
shall have been audited and approved by
the Auditor for the District of Columbia,
certified by the Commissioners or a ma
jority of them
Were Ignorant of Law.
The records show that because of the
ignorance Of this law, nearly all District
officers have for years been submitting
vouchers which were not itemized. but
which were accepted and approved by
Mr.. Petty.
For instance. one voucher calls for the
following: Labor. 1870. Paving of va
rious Streets $2SO.37; and material
S91.A0-"
Mr.. Petty accepted these items az
above. without ever inquiring as to the
number OF men employed. the names or
number Of the streets paved, or the class
or quantity of material
Chafed Under Change.
When Alonzo TweedaIe was installed
as Acting Auditor, about two months
age, he noticed that the heads of vari-
Gus departments persisted in submitting
vouchers which were not itemized. In
quiry disclosed the fact that these off,
GERS never had been even informed of
the law IN question They ehafed un-
der what they termed the technical
rulings" of the Acting Auditor. The
result was that every unitemized vouch-
er was returned to the officers submit
ting it, with notice that it must be
made to conform with the law before
1t could be audited.
Mr.. Tweedale, believing the old regime
to be in violation, not only of the let
ter, but the spirit of the law, appealed
to the Commissioners, who have ap-
proved his recommendation that all
District officials be instructed TO itemize
every voucher.
