REPORTE OF INVESTIGATION
OF TERRITORIAL AUDITOR

The report of the special committee
appointed to Investigate the office of
w. G. Sargent, territorial auditor, is
as follows:
Your committee appointed by the
speaker under louise resolution No
II, to investigate the method of ex-
penditure of certain funds appropriate
ed for postage, express, printing,
blanks and incidentals, for the audi
tors Office for the fifty-sixth fiscal
year, the fifty-seventh fiscal veal and
so much of the ifty-eighta fiscal year
as has expired, has had the same un-
der consideration and beg leave to
make the following report:
We find that the t~hirty-sixth legisla
tive assembly of the territory of New
Mexico, on March 16, 1905, made the
following appropriation for the audi
tors office:
blanks and incidentals. the auditor is
hereby allowed for the auditors Office
a like proportion for the ffty-sixth fis-
cal year, $1,000" (See Sec. IL, Chap
ter 112. Laws of 1900
This sum of 81 1000 applies to each
of the ~ifty-seve1th and ffty-eighth
fiscal years and in like proportion to
the ffty-sixth fiscal year.
We have carefully examined into
the expenditures OF this once, under
the administration of the auditor, in
conformity with the resolution refer
red to: a number of witnesses were
called before the committee, including
the auditor himself. and from the tes-
timony given we find that there has
been drawn by the auditor for the ifs
cal a named and for a part of the
fifty-eighth fiscal year, under the afore
said appropriation s2,672.57. Out of
the total thus drawn S255.75 has been
paid to the New Mexican Printing
Company for printing and $74-45 to
Jacob Weltmer, Santa Fe Telephone
Company, ]. C McNary and J. s. Dun
can public printer.
Thus IL is made glaringly apparent
that from the fund so as aforesaid
drawn since December 1. 1904, the an
ditor has applied to his own use Nd
proximately $2,342.37. Admitting that
he spent $342-37 for postage and ex-

New Orleans. La. March 25.-Sena.
tors, representatives, governors, NUM-
cipal officials n representatives OF
commercial organizations from all ov-
er the South are in New Orleans today
to take part ia the Southern States
n Gulf Coast conference called by
the New Orleans Progressive union
for the rpo of considering the
Panama Canal, railroad and steam
ship matters. Members of the House
committee on rivers and harbors are
also here from all parts Of h country
for the purpose of Investigating the
the guests of the Progressive union
at today'S conference.
The alleged discrimination of the
Panama canal commission in favor
of the East as against the South is
the principal subject of discussion at
the conference, President Trezevant
of the Progressive union declaring
that it is the obvious intention of the
commission to put the control of the
trade passing through the canal in the
hands of eastern commercial interests
although the Gulf coast is nearer and
possesses superior advantages. Plans
will be made for the commercial bod
les of tae South to join issues in the
coming contest for supremacy in the
canal trade. A congressional SmOk-
er will be held tonight, when address
ses OIL the subjects connected with
the canal and southern waterways i'm
provementS will be made by several
| visiting congressman.
The members of the rivers and a
'bors committee of the House will
leave tomorrow morning on the gov
eminent boat Mississippi for a trip

n the inspection of the committee
is expected to result in a favorable
decision. After an examination of
locks at ~Plaquemine the congressional
party will return to Baton Rouge,
where a reception will be given by
Governor Blanchard.
Wednesday the congressman will
make a trip to the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi and will visit the point where
the proposed inland canal will have
it's beginning. Thursday the com
mittee will max a rail trip to New Ib-
eria, stopping by the way to visit a
sugar refinery and plantation. The
cypress mills at New Iberia, the salt

press, this would leave approximately
two thousands dUHars1 WhfcT he shas
converted to his This, too,
in addition to his salary Of three tnou-
sand dollars per a1nEm and the furth-
er sum OF one thousand dollars per an
mum allowed him for clerk hire.
We find, further, that there has
been presented to the present Iegis-
lative assembly a deficiency account
for printing done for the auditors of
fee in the sum of $4s8.32. The above
named appropriation of $1,000 a year
for postage, express. printing, blanks,
etc., forms NJ part of b auditors sal
airy. That appropriation was made
for the express purpose of paying
postage, express, printing, blanks and
other incidentalS, for the use of he
auditors Office. 1t vas the duty of
the officer named to keep an account
for postage, express. printing, blank
and other incidentals, hat it could be
easily determined what these appro-
priatio1s were expended for. No
vouchers have been presented to our
committee nor any reference to any
vouchers made by the auditor in his
testimony before the committee, ex-
cept such as relate to the parties
bow named, aggregating in amount
@ooVHO IN ~ 1o4O-4 $1,000
S2,342.37, by the auditor leaves a de-
6cie1cy for a printers bill of $4SS.32,
as stated above. In the judgment of
your committee, if these funds had
been properly applied, instead of there
being a deficiency, there would be a
surplus under the appropriation refer
red to of approximately $1,000. The
conversion of the use of this large
sum of money to the use of the audi
tor, for which nc vouchers + shown
and none claimed by the auditor, is
u~nwarranted by law. There is moth
ing in the wording of the statute that
authorizes the conversion of this sun
to the auditors own use. 1t is an
appropriation for a special purpose;
namely, for postage. express, printing,
blanks, and incidentals, not for the
auditor, but for The" auditors Office"
as before stated, and it is no more
the money of the auditor than any 9th
er appropriation, in our judgment.
We recommend that certified copies
OF this report be furnished to the Gov
ernor INC the legislative council for
their information, and the Governor
is respectfully requested by this house
to carefully investigate, or cause to
be Investigated, the misappropriation
of funds referred to, to the end that
a suit may be brought to recover the
said sum OF $2,342.37, to use and bene-
fit of the Territory. We also recon-
mend that a like investigation be had
concerning the disbursement of contin
gent funds by any other territorial of
fetal where there is easol to believe
that such und ave not been proper
iy accounted for.
