Accountant Norris Report to Gov.
Hoch Indicates "a Shortage OF
About $7S,OOO.

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 1S.-A total short
age in the Kansas state treasury of
about $7S, 900 is shown by the report of
Accountant Morris in the treasury ex-
animation just closed, according to the
summary of the report prepared by
Gov. E. W. Hoch, made public late
Tuesday afternoon. The report covers
all the transactions made by the state
treasury from January l., 1898, to June
80, 1905. including the two full terms
Of former State Treasurer Frank
Grimes and one term and six months
of the administration of Thomas T.
Kelly, the present state treasurer. The
larger part of the shortage appears in
the accounts of the Office during the
Grimes administration. Of the total OF
SIS. 900, $50, 900 is due to missing cou-
pons from bonds owned by the state
school fund, and $4,000 due to the loss
Of interest on warrants issued by the
territory of Oklahoma to the state OF
Kansas.
