BARTLETT SHORT $4,000
Former Disbursing Officer of Treasury
Department, However, Only
Responsible for $4,000
nv Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, July LIT was
stated at the treasury department that
an investigation recently concluded into
the affairs of the late Major George A.
Bartlett, disbursing officer of the treas
ury department, shows a shortage ap-
proximating $4,000.
About $4,000 of this amount, how
ever, is said to have been innocently
paid out on fraudulent vouchers pre-
sented by James Boyd, a clerk in the
marine hospital service, who in Sep
tember last was arrested and is now in
Jail pending his trial for misappro-
priating government funds.
Although Bartlett was technically re-
sponsible for payments on Boyd's
fraudulent vouchers, the shortage in his
own office will probably not exceed
SIS, 900.
Bartlett became i'll and died while
his office was being Investigated. His
shortage is fully covered by a bond
executed by a surety company.
