FORMER JUSTICE IS SHORT
GORDON WHO WAS HEAD OF
WASHINGTON TRIBUNAL, CON-
FEssEs TO ACCUSATION.
SPECULATION HIS RUIN
Resigns at Spokane as General
Counsel for Great Northern Rail.
road-Glven Chance to Make
Restitution.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 3.-M. j.
Gordon, former chief justice Of the
Washington supreme court and
general counsel for the Great North
ern railroad at Spokane for more
than seven years, is short in his ac-
counts with that road for more than
$4,000. Justice Gordon announced his
shortage and rendered his resignation
two months ago but the fact did not
become generally known until Mon
day.
Unfortunate speculation in stocks
led him to divert to his own use
money intrusted to him to settle judg-
ments When Judge Gordon made
known his shortage to w. n, Begg,
general solicitor for the Great North
ern, he was accorded a chance to
make restitution.
The investigation following the re-
tirement Of Judge Gordon and the
discoveries OF discrepancies In the
legal department Of the Spokane
division has led to a Encouragement
of the company's system. AS a result
l. G. Gilman, counsel for the com
pany in Seattle and general western
executive agent, is handling the
business in Judge Gordons former
district. Until new arrangements,
Mr.. Gilman will have charge Of all the
company's legal business west Of
Montana. A plan is on to make Gil
man general western counsel Of the
company.
Il have nothing to say except that
the facts Of a shortage exceeding $780,.
600 are entirely correct" said Mr.. Gil
man.
Judge Gordon frankly admits the
shortage, but says the road will not
prosecute.

County May Yet Be Ordered.
Although a county map is badly
noaded. and the postoffice depart
nent at Washington has several
times requested one to aid 1T in
extending the rural mail delivery
over the entire county,, the county
commissioners at their meeting Tues
day did not accept either of two
nropositions of a publishing company
to furnish a map showing all of the
nnblic roads, land lines. militia dis
tricts. school houses, streams, ETC.
One of the propositions was to fur
nish y maps for $125 and the other
80 maps for $3.50.
The matter, however, has not been
finally disposed of. Chairman Bell
of the board of commissioners was
anpointed a committee to confer with
the county school board and ascer-
tain if that body will join the COM
missioners in the 1925 proposition
and pay half of the bill for a dozen
maps
Mr.. Bell will report the result of
his conference at the April meeting
of the commissioners, when the map
question will be finally settled.
