A special effort is contemplated look
ing to the final enactment of the bill for

federal aid for mining schools and ex-

One OF the speakers at the philadel-

FRISCO TREASURY SHY.
Some $50, 1000 Is Reported Gone-Arrests
Made.

Made.
San Francisco.-In the endeavor to
fix the responsibility for shortage of
$37, 500 in the city treasurer s office, a
committee of investigation has made
the unexpected discovery that funds to
the extent of 100000 more are missing
and criminal prosecution is foreshad-
owed in the arrest of Tomalty, a clerk.
For nearly two years it has been
known that there was a shortage in the
treasury office of over 1917 900. Off
cials of that Office all disclaimed re-
sponsibility, and an effort was made to
connect the missing money with Ed
Smith, former tax collector, who is
serving time in the penitentiary for
forgery. 1t was not until the comp
troller, through the attorney general,
instituted an action to recover $4,000
of the state IS money, included in the
missing funds, that any legal steps
were taken to clear up the mystery.
Expert accountants were employed
and in their reply they have uncov-
cred a shortage of 100000 and declared
that the money was taken during the
term of former City Treasurer Charles
A. Bantel, whose deputy was David
Davis. Tomalty, the bookkeeper, had
filled the same position under the ad-
ministration of John McDougal and
when an expert in handwriting declared
that the books had been altered he was
summoned and subjected to an exam
nation that lasted five hours.
Up to the last, it is said, he declared
his innocence. He is said to be in Gus
tody. City Treasurer Bantel is said
to have been the only official who had
entry to the vaults. No action has
been taken with regard to either.

A wholesome scorn of physical ills
is good thing, according to the
philosophy of boy in the State School
for Dependent Children, who wrote his
father thus:
"Dear Papa: We children are hav-
ing a good time here now. Mr.. Sager
broke his leg and can't work. We went
on a picnic and it rained and we all
got wet. Many children here are sick
with humps. Mr.. Higgins fell off the
wagon and broke his rib, but he can
work a little. The man that is digging
the deep well whipped us boys with a
buggy whip because we threw sand in
his machine, and made black and blue
marks on us. Ernest cut his finger
badly. We are all very happy"
