What Comptroller Metz described yes
terday a another fool BILL has been
sent to him by the Board Of Education.
A few weeks ago that body sent a voucher
to the Finance Department. calling for the
payment OF 1--WE cents for some blue print
copies. The bill passed through the audit
ing departments OF the Board Of Education
and the Finance Department. 1t had 10 be

five cent bill o. KID
Yesterday Mr.. Metz received a bill from
the board for 20 cents for thirteen two cent
stamps. II had to 20 through the same
red tape process as did the Ave cent voucher.
When 1t came TO Mr.. Metz he grew hot and
calling for his stenographer dictated a letter
OF protest 80 emphatically wOrded that he
refused afterward to give IL out for publica-
ton because he was afraid IL might not
look we'll in cold print.
All that Mr.. Metz would say was that he
had made some comment on the mental
and executive abilities of the men at the
head Of the finance bureau OF the Board Of
Education and had made the inquiry IL
they had been 80 long in Office that they
had never heard OF the modern method Of
paying small bills out Of the petty cash

Rooms Of FIFTY Internes Visited by Thieves.
Who Leave No Clues.
The doctors at Bellevue are greatly stirred
up over a series Of rObberies that occurred
in thar dormitory on Tuesday. A thief
rihed several OF the rooms, getting away
with jewelry, clothing and money. The
doctors are particularly angry at Supt.
Armstrong, who didn't want the matter re-
ported to the police, fearing that the news
would become public. The victims Of the
thief, however, have taken the matter into
their Own hands and are bent on catching
the thief, even II they are unable to ecove
the stolen articles.
There are about fifty doctors at the hos
pital and il was said that nearly all Of them
had Uttered as a result Of the thief's work.
At the suggestion Of Supt. Armstrong they
refuse TO talk about the robberies, but it il
known that Or. Gordon Lindsay lost a gold
watch and chain, two ~iewelled fraternity
pins, q large quantity Of clothing and 324
in money. DR.. F. r. HolbrOok lost a dia-
mond pin and a pair Of valuable CUT but
tons, while DR.. L. b. Rogers is mourning
the lOssof a lot Of clothing.
There are over so employees in the hos
pital and IL Is difficult for the police to get
any clue to the thief. A number Of Orderlies
have duplicate keys 10 the rooms Of the
doctors. Tuesday was pay day at the hos
pital and it is expected hat some Of the
employees who are still celebrating will not
return. On each pay day a number Of EN-
ployees disappear. The police think that
the thief who robbed the doctors will not
return and they will get on the trail Of EN-
ployeea who fail TO turn up.
Three months ago over 500 worth Of stun
was stOlen from the ONCE Of the property
clerk and this robbery still remains a mys-
