John Smith Says Tax Collector Did
Not Handle CoIIecfiops

John Smith. who has been handling
the money paid for taxes since last
October, stated to Mayor Schmitz that
he was sent to the tax Office to take
the position as cashier by his brother,
James B. Smith who had made good
Edward Smiths previous defalcation
of S165,000.
After the shortage of s165,6oo was
settled" said John Smith, my brother
James had me act as cashier so that
might have full and complete control
over all the funds that came into the
tax office. / did that in order that no
more funds should pass through Ed
wards hands. l was under the i'm
preston that I handled all the moneys
and made daily settlements with the
City Treasurer. The manner in which
Edward manipulated the checks was
the only way in which he could have
taken any of the city's money, that is
by going outside of the office. My own
accounts are straight. 1 cannot but
think that my brother was demented
to act as he did"

Resents InsuIt to sister.

William Ziegler. a plumber on Pine
street, near Powell, was arrested yes
terday on a warrant charging him
with an assault with a deadly weapon.
The complaining witness is j. B. Am
lot who alleges that on Monday night
Ziegler attacked him with brass
knuckles in a saloon at Bush and
Powell streets. Ziegler says that AM
lot has been annoying his sister with
his professions of love and making in
sulting remarks about her. When they
met in the saloon Amiot wanted to
speak to him and because Ziegler re-
fused Amiot struck at him. Ziegler
retaliated and says that the cuts on
Amiots face were made by a ring he
wore on his finger.

Manager of Surety Company Will
Abide by Report of Experts.

F. H. Gilbert. manager OF the Ma
tional Surety Company. whfcn is on
Tax Collector Smiths official bond,
stated last night that he had no idea
what the exact amount of Smith s
shortage would be.
1 do not know officially the amount
of the defalcation.' said Gilbert, al
though the amount has been placed at
some $4,000
Do you think the shortage will ex-
ceed that amount?" was asked of Gill
bert.
It would not surprise me-" he re-
piled. but the shortage, if any. can
only be determined by the investiga-
ton of the experts. 1 do not think
that my company will contest the
right of the city to recover from it the
amount of the shortage, whatever it
might be. We have been notified that
a shortage exists, but will be guided
by the reports of our experts in the
determination of our liability The de-
falcation of $165,000 last year was
never brought to our notice and we
knew nothing of II until to-day"

The discovery that Smith had stolen
money from the city also brought to
light the fact that in April 1904, he
was short $165,000 in his accounts.
which was made good by his brother,
James B. Smith, vice president of the
of the Grand Jury, who pledged
S25O,000 worth of his personal securi-
ties to raise the money to save the
family from dishonor. The shortage
was hushed up at the time, although
rumors on the subject were rife
On learning the facts the Mayor sus-
pended Smith from Office and ap-
pointed James w. McCabe a civil SER
vice deputy in the Tax Office, Tax
Collector, pending an investigation to
be held by the Board of Supervisors.
which has been called in session by
the Mayor for this afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The news that Tax Collector Smith
is defaulter was brought to the
Mayor by the Collectors brother, John
r. Smith, who has been handling the
funds of the Tax Office ever since the
$4,000 defalcation of last year.
GETS CHECKS FOR TAXES.
John Smith informed the Mayor
that his brother had on April 4 re-
ceived two checks, one for $17.6S3 76;
and one for $6694 56, from e. Black
Ryan, tax agent of the Southern Pa
cific Company, as part payment of the
second installment of the taxes Of the

took Smith to Treasurer N, s. Smith OF
the company, who turned over To- he
Tax Collector two more checks, oRe
for $94241 IL and one for s5S10S4, -
final payment on the second jhstai
ment of taxes. The money, agsreg4B
ing S39113 2S, was not turned into the
city treasury. John Smith said.
John Smith stated that it was un-
usual for Tax Collector to go in per-
son to collect axes, and on the face of
it the transaction showed fraudulent
intent. Edward Smith had gone to
the Southern Pacific Company. un-
known to his brother or the of71cials iu
the Tax Office, had received th6
checks, and, It is presumed. cashed
them.
