RALPH IS CLEARED.
Crookston Engineer Is Exonerated
by Drainage Board Of Inten-
tional Wrong Doing.
He Was Accused Of Drawing Pay

George Ralph Of Crookston. engineer. OF
the state drainage board, has been exon
Grated by that body on charges preferred
by the public examiner. The case mas
been under consideration for several weeks
and was finished this afternoon, when the
board issued a statement declaring It's be-
lief that Ralph had been innocent OF any
intentional wrong doing. The discrepan-
cies In his accounts are charged up 10
careless bookkeeping. Ralph continues IN
the employ of the commission
Ralph was accused of duplicating his
accounts. He was employed as engineer
in Sdrainage work by the state commits
sion, and by several counties in the north
ern part of the state. 1t was alleged that
Ralph put in bills for services upon the
same days to TWO and sometimes three
counties. A similar duplication was said
to exist In his charges against the coun-
ties and against the state board. 1t was
further charged that Ralph claimed pay
from several counties for work by his as
sistants on certain days, and that he drew
pay for civil engineers when he was ir
reality hiring only common laborers.s
Several indictments were returned
against Ralph in Polk county on the above
charges, but the indictments were nolled
and Ralph has also convinced the state

The Hennepin county fund was swelled
to-day by a check received by Secretary

chairman Of a mass meeting held in Ma
son City. Feb. II, to consider the raising
OF famine relief fund and he was ap.

SWenson for instruction and as no cons
certed effort to raise funds was being
made in Iowa he decided that the best
way to get the money promptly to its
proper destination was to cooperate with
the Minneapolis committee.
Mr.. Anundson specifies that the money
Is to be divided between the Finnish and
scandinavian funds. In his letter he
speaks OF noticing that the representative
OF the Christian Herald is on the ground
assisting IN the relief work and says that
ne would be glad to have the money dis
trlouted through him and according to his
judgment. " -
