a|PuNGER REPORT IS IN
Seattle Comptroller Had Been
Stealing for Years

SEATTLE. July 1.-THE report of
the expert accountants upon the funds
handled by John Riplinger as city
comptroller. handed to City Treasurer
George Russell today. According to
city officials the report shows that the
experts have been unable to account
for from $50, 900 to 10000 of the money
handed by Riplinger.
The majority of the city officials in
cline to the belief that the shortage
will be about $4,000. Others are of the
opinion that it will be near $4,000 and
some place the amount of the defalca-
ton as high as 100000. The exact fig
ures are known only to the account
ants.
In their report the experts designate
the money that they are unable to ac-
count for They also point out the
exact amount that court proceedings
would show Riplinger to have en-
bezZled This last amount is small
compared with the other.
The inability to fix the dates on
which the money was taken is pointed
out by the accountants as a barrier
against the prosecution of Riplinger.
The former city comptroller took with
him all the books and accounts deal
ing with the funds in his possession,
and the work of the accountants has
been conducted under great ditf1curr1es.
1t is expected that the shortage in
the local improvement incomplete
defalcation of the former city comp
troller was first discovered in this fund
through the appropriation of a check
for $4,000 deposited with him by the
Independent Asphalt company.
The largest shortage, city officials
believe. is shown in what is known as
the fixed estimates. A certain fixed
amount is charged against every local
improvement assessment district for
engineering and the preparation of alb
stracts. The contractor collects this
money from the district and in the
past turned it over TO the comptroller
to be placed in the city treasury.
Some of these fixed estimates wera
embezzled by Riplinger In some of
the big improvements the fixed esti-
mates are as high as $4,000. Riplinger
handled other funds, and his pecula-
tions apparently extended to every one
of these.
The report of the accountants shows
that Riplinger began his embezzle-
ments soon after he went into the city
comptroller's office as chief clerk under
Comptroller Will H. Parry. They ex-
tended through Comptroller Paurs term
and through his own two terms.

SPARROW WINS OUT LEOPARD
Fierce Tale from New York on
Nature Study

Hereafter when persons wish to typ

1t happened in the Central Park Zoo
the other day. The keepers took from
the leopard mOther to wean them her
three months old cubs. Alice, Teddy
and Nicholas. The keepers put Alice
in a little cage by herself because her
brothers have been treating her very
rudely lately, cutting and even biting
her That she might understand she
had done with food for babes that she
might exercise her jaws and small.

were thrown in Alices cage.
A sparrow just about old enough t.

alighting on d bone, hungrily pecked
at a scrap Of meat. The leopard, which
is no bigger than big domestic cat,

then stealthily approached it III just

The sparrow seemed not the least

bird was her certain prey. Then Alice
opened her mouth and

there until her new chum returned.
The bird passed the afternoon either
pecking about the cage or roostlng on

1t took the keeper three hours to drive
the mother from the cage so they could
take away her cubs. The mother we'll

CHASING THE AUTO.

The board of road supervisors of
Napa county California, have made
an order which closes the roads of
that county to automobiles and there
is considerable fierceness by the latter
over the condition which confronts
them. Their utter disregard for tn
rights of transfers brought about this
action of the board which may be
little too sweeping; but it will work
out all right in the end, no doubt.
A California paper in commenting
on the boards action, says: The or
dinance is a foolish one in it's sweep
ing character. The automobile has
come to stay, and provision must be
made for it everywhere where it is
lowed on narrow and dangerous
mountain roads, however, and automo-
bilists are foolish to ask for that.
Owners of automobiles have them
selves to blame for such an unfair
ordinance as that of Napa county Only
TOO many OF them are lnSolent, haugh-
ty, arrogant, with absolutely not the
Sigh est regard for the rights and the
safety of others. Most of them need
drastic lessons and should be taught
them. But even that fact does not
Justify the sweeping Napa county or

which undoubtedly greets them on

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

Whether the acquisition of the Phll-
step is a dead issue, and the moment
has not yet arrived to consider whether
it would not be advisable to sell them

will come up sooner or later, and when
it does, to quote the catch phrase that
became popular during the last presi-
Dental campaign, the people will have

must remember that, whether for good
or evil, we have acquired the archi-
