Investigated.
He lie Charged With Wasting $50, 900
OF Methodist Book
Funds.
CHINESE COLLEGE INVOLVED

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 24-Sev-
en- leading Methodist clergymep of San
Francisco and vicinity have signed
petition asking for an investigation OF
Rev. John ID. Hammond, for misman-
agement Of the Methodist book concern
and the Chinese mission college. Ham.
mond is charged with wasting $40, 600
of book concern funds, and with ap-
propriating go. 900 per year assigned
for the Chinese college for several
years. The college is a myth, only ten
Chinese boys being in the class, and
the expenses were less than 800 per
month
Many attempts have been made dur
ing the last five years to get state
ment from Hammond. but without
success for Hammond has had the
powerful backing CT DR.. Eaton Of Ea-
ton and Mains, the New York heads
Of the book concern.
Gov. Leslie M. Shaw Of Iowa, now
secretary Of the treasury, reported in
1900 that the losses of the San Fran
cisco branch of the book concern
were S72, 500. The conference of 1901
voted to turn over the book concern to
a commission Of seven prominent San
trapciscans. They were empowered to
collect accounts, but they found Ham
mond after his removal, collected sew
eral thousand dollars. This was
brought before the conferen ce, as we'll
AS the fact that Hammond had de-
stroyed the books of the concern in Or
der to hide his speculations.
At a meeting of the general book
com mittee last February, DR.. Homer
Eaton Of New York, stated that he had
sold the accounts to Hammond without
warning the San Francisco commits
sion. Eaton and Mains were censured
by the conference for "willful decep-
ton" These accounts were worth
ell, 900 and all the church received
for them was .JcO.
Hammond was removed from the
book concern three years ago, but he
still manages the Chinese missionary
college here, for which the appropria'
tion is $40, 900 yearly. He has les:
than a dozen pupils and his main ex.
pense is $50 per month.
