Discussing OFFICER SHORT
Major George A. Bartlett of the
Treasury Department Paid Some
worthless vouchers.

WASHINGTON, July lit was stated
at the Treasury department today that al
investigation recently concluded of the ac-
counts of the late Major George A. Bart
lett, dsbursing officer of the Treasury de-
partment, shows a shortage approximating
$4,000
About $4,000 of this amount however. is
said to have been innocently paid out on
fraudulent vouchers presented by James
w. Boyd, a clerk in the marine hospital
service, who in September last, was ar
rested and is now in jail pending his tria
for Incorporating government funds
Although Bartlett was technically re-
sponsible for payments on Boyd's fraudu-
lent vouchers, the shortage in his own Of
fec will probably not exceed $4,000. Bart.
lett became i'll and died while his office
was being investigated. His shortage Is
fully covered by a bond executed by a
surety company.

Features of the Evening.

The Chambers-Koch match was an inter
esting contest to watch. Chambers was
strong with his clean smashing and lobbing.
while Koch with his overland cut chop
stroke and playing of the sidelines was the
better. Chambers had just finished two
set match with Redick Of the Country club
and tired before the game was over.
One OF the surprises of the day was the
remarkable showing made by Hills in his
match with Jack Hughes. His placing and
activity won him many points. Hills won
the first set in 7-5 after n hard battle, and
Hughes took the second set 81, going faster
all the time Hughes won the third 60.
Omaha has found an ambidextrous player
Of its own who is second DR., BlatherwiclS.

Field club last night showed he will soon
rank with the cracks of the city.
The gallery watched with interest the
match between Cub Potter and Sam Cald-
well. While Caldwell was expected TO win

alert and proved no easy mark. Caldwell
won the first set 60 and Potter the second
