elements charged against B. H. Wrigh
and James H. Boyd. In the absence Of
Superintendent Cooper it was difficult
yesterday to ascertain any of the facts
in connection with the case, but from
what can be learned they are about as
follows:
Charles Wilcox, brother of Robert, is
disbursing agent in the Public Works
office, and as such all warrants except
ing those paid directly from the Audi
tors Office go through him. He was
appointed by Mr.. Boyd, and his prin-
cipal duty is to go over the payrolls of
the Department. Owing to the impos-
sibility OF issuing payrolls in the out
side districts it has become the custom
for road boards to send their payrolls
to Wilcox, with request that he Sc
cure the amounts and remit to them
the warrant approved by him, or in
some cases where it is difficult to get
cash TO forward the coin. Last August,
according to the story told, Wilcox re-
ceived from the Auditor the warrants
for road boards In Kau, Hawaii; Ka
waihau, Kauai; and kona, Hawaii,
and proceeded to cash them. Alto
gether, the warrants amounted to
$2,337S5, and for these Mr.. Wilcox got
the coin Instead of sending the war
rants TO the road board, Wilcox put the
money in the safe of the chief clerk,
Z. II. Wright. so he says.
The money has since no. been ac-
counted for, and the chairmen of the
road boards have been clamoring for
the amounts due OIL the payrclls which
they cannot pay. Hence the item in
Ehe unpaid bills message.
According to the story Wilcox tells,
he turned the money over tc Wright
upon Superintendent Boyd's order, and
claims to hold an /. O. U. in place of
it. This l. o. U. is said to De for $780,
but which Wright claims to have paid.
This transaction IL alleged to have
occurred last August, and the month
following Wright was put out of the
Office by Treasurer Wright
The transaction appears to be a
somewhat mysterious ono. c. NJ
White, the chief clerk in the Office,
said yesterday that so far as he knew
there was no new shortage. He said in
reference to the Wilcox matter that it
was only a question of veracity be-,
tween Wright and Wilcox over about
81 300, which had not been sent to the
road boards, as should have been done.
Nothing has been done in the matter
so far, and will not be until the return
of Superintendent Cooper, who will In
vestigate some new facts in connection
with the transaction, which it is re-
ported have but recently come to light.

Another shortage is reported in the
Public Works office. and the RESPONSE
bility for 1t lies between Charles Will

1t is only recently that the matter came

The amount of the alleged shortage
Is said to be $2,337s5, which CORE
