Referring to the office OF County
Treasurer, we found numerous clerical
errors in the books chiefly in confusing
the various funds. The tendency WAS to
mix the funds Of the school districts,
and interchange the items Of road and

No shortage was found except $7.7a
which is offset by gain in paying inter
.st on warrants, if allowed to be used 70
that purpose. The funds are kept in
the various banks OF this county, which
submitted to US their several statements
of the amounts on deposit. This method
of keeping the funds Of the county is
very meritorlous.

The MOat.

Before the days of artillery the moat was an effective means of defense. par ticularly when filled with water. In very large forts or castles it sometimes assumed the dimensions of a lake, be ing often 100 yards wide and ten to twenty feet deep. The moat was crossed by d drawbridge, which could be raised at an instant's notice. When the moat was too wide to permit of this bridge covering tie entire distance a slight wooden bridge was employed.

COMPANIES REINSURE RISKS.
Several VIII Strengthen Reserve Funds I'm.
til california Losses Are Adjusted.

Many fire insurance companies that were
hit hard in the San Francisco disaster are
1t was learned yesterday, taking unusual
means to protect themselves from further
loss until Pacific Slope matters are adjusted.
A number Of these have reinsured their
risks outside Of San Francisco in other COM
panies. and still others are making prepare
tons to assess the stockholders in order to
strengthen their reserves, on which the San
Francisco fire will surely make heavy in
roads
Among the companies that havereinsured
their risks are the New York and United
States Of this city and the American and
Mercantile Of Boston. 1t Is not thought
that any Of these companies will go out of
business permanently. They are merely
taking a breathing spell prior to the ad-
justment Of the losses in San Francisco.
and in the meantime they will bend their
energies toward putting their reserve
funds In the same position they were before
the disaster occurred.
1t wac said yesterday that there was a
movement on foot to contest the action Of
the meeting Of the Fire Insurance Exchange
on Friday, when the rates were raised from
10 to rs per cent. on practically all risks in
Greater New York. It was asserted that
the meeting was called without due notice
to the members and that snap tactics were
used to get the resolution through, When
asked about the matter yesterday C. F.
Shallcross, president Of the exchange. said:
The meeting was perfectly regular in
every respect. II was a special meeting
that was called last week and adjourned
at the call of the chair. Now, the report
Of the special committee on rates was not
ready until yesterday morning. I did not
want to call the meeting together again on
Saturday, which is a half holiday, and many
objected to Monday, which is a very busy
day with the fire insurance people; so I
decided to call the meeting right away.
The members all got notice and there
were about eighty Of them present. /
heard nc objection from any save two
who represented the Continental and v ill.,
iamsburg companies. Anyway a resolu-
ton was adopted to suspend the ordinary
rules of the exchange before any business
was transacted"
The insurance brokers are grumblinR
over the reduction that was made in their
commissions by the exchange. Repre-
sentatives Of the companies, however >
say that the rates were not raised to Civ J
additional profits to the brokers but for
the purpose of building up again the re-
serves OF the companies which suffered
heavy loss from tho San Francisco fire.

RACE OVER THE BRIDGE.
Trolley Car OverhauIs Q wagon Loaded
With Stolen Goods.


A trolley car was pressed into service on
the Williamsburg Bridge yesterday in order
to capture an alleged thief. The man vas

that he with others forced an entrance into
the shop Of I. a A. Lieberman. manufac-
turing tailors, on the second floor Of II and
40 Watkins street, Brooklyn, where they
stole a dozen rolls Of cloth valued at $500.
The plumber was placed in q covered wagon
which had been driven up to the factory.
A Waterman in the building discovered
the robbery and reported IL at the Browns
vile police station. A general alarm was
sent to every police station with a deeorip-
ton Of the horse and wagon.
When the message was read to the police
Of the Williamsburg Bridge station Police
man John j. Hughes remembered that a
few minutes before he had seen an almost
exhausted horse .harnessed to q covered
north roadway Of the bridge. he got on
car and requested the motorman to hurry
across the structure so that he could over
take the wagon. He did overtake IL at
the Manhattan terminal. Goldberg was
the only person In it. Inside we're the
stolen rolls of cloth. Goldberg admitted
he had been concerned IN the robbery.
He would not say anything further.
He was taken back to Williamsburg, and
at the bridge police station q charge Of
burglary was made against him. He was

Two-thirds or San Francisco Losses.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The Traders Insurance
Company, one Of the oldest Are risk con-
Germs in Chicago and with many prominent
financiers on it's directorate, was placed to-
day in the hands Of a receiver.
This action was taken in Judge Mack's
court at the instance Of the directors them
selves. Byron l.. Smith, president Of the
Northern Trust Company. was appointed
by the Court to take charge Of the COM
pany's affairs. His bond was fixed at
81, 200, 900. Mr., Smith Immediately went
into conference with Officers Of the concern
and prepared to take hold at once.
Crushing losses suffered as a result Of the
San Francisco earthquake and fire are what
has laid the company low. For a week or
more it has been known to be in a precarious
condition.
The result Of the collapse will be a total
loss to the stockholders, their stock bear
ing a market value Of So 500. 900; the virtual
wiping out Of insurance policies to the
amount Of $10o, 900 900 and a forced COM
promise settlement Of the San Francisco
loss. which it is estimated will net the losers
there little more than two-thirds Of their
claims. A score OF smaller fire insurance
companies are facing trouble as a result Of
the Traders crash. Practically all of the
assets Of the company, including it's in
suranee reserve Of 81 ,sl4 ,os5, its net reserve
Of 81, 500 900 and its capital Of $500, 900 will
be needed to settle the San Francisco claims
which total in the gross 50 tbs, 900. As
against this sum it is believed that % per
cent. will be salvage.
There are other losses and claims, how
ever, amounting to $il 1852. and long dis
tanoe calls for several places to-day told
Of additional losses as the result of fires at
several points in the East that are yet to be
adjusted.
The r~eceivership action shocked Lasalle
street profoundly. II had been accepted
as a matter Of course that the organization
comprising some Of the wealthiest and most
responsible citizens Of Chicago would meet
its obligations. There was q possibility
that after meeting all claims from the San
Francisco fire the company might reinsure
the balance Of it's insurance and 60 out Of
business, but no one In LaSalle street
dreamed that the organization would be
allowed to 60 by the board.
The total wealth Of the directors IL COM
puted at $50, ooo, 900. 90 that the bankruptcy
Of the concern could scarcely be believed.

RED TAPE HATS RELIEF.
Gen. Greedy Appeals to Washington for
Permission to Spend $500. 900.


Permission TO Spend $500. 900.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The appropriation
Of 81, SOC, 900 made by Congress for the re-
lief OF San Francisco has been OK pended
and now there is a tangle in San Francisco.
1t has come out Of an order from the War
Department to Major Devol, Quartermaster
of the Department Of California, directing
him to deposit in hes uh-Treasury his credit
of 100000, which had been given him some
days before. This order has brought
trouble to Gen. Greedy, who planned spend
ing the $500 900 in relief work. Among
other things he has ordered $4,000 pounds
Of fresh meat. Gen. Greedy yesterday tele-
graphed the War Department asking that
the order to Major Devol concerning the
cash be oountermanded.
There seems TO be only one way out Of the
difficulty. In San Francisco Gen. Greedy
has on hand a large amount Of Quarter
masters supplies and materials which have
not been used, but at the same time they
have been charged up against the %appropria-
ton, Secretary Taft has t%elephoned Gen.
plies and materials. When this comes the
charge against the appropriation will be
taken Of and some money will be thu 8
made available.
Gen. Greely's despatch on the subject
came yesterday, but was not made public
until to-day. He said:
Major Devol is directed by telegraph to
deposit HE credit of $500 900 relief fund,
leaving this division without n means Of
purchasing supplies and paying expendi-
lures already contracted. Request that
this order be o~ountermanded and Major
Devol be designated as disbursing officer
relief fund. Unless this is done must
necessarily stop any and all measures in-
volving expenditures. not to protect my
self, but protect junior officers of army.
Fresh meat being indispensable for health
and special diet, authorized to-day pur-
chase of fifty thousand pounds"
Secretary Taft's answer folio VS.:
Your despatch to military secretary
concerning Devol's credit Of 5000, 600 re-
ceived, Unless you make a showing 10
me Of the amount Of material sent you
which is unused, already requested in my
despatch Of to-day l canno authorize Devol
to spend money as you request, for the rea-
son that the appropriation has already been
exceeded. Fit be necessary TO obtain meat
can order a remittance sent from the Red
Gross funds. Confer with the relief asssoia-
