Shortage Due to Lax Methods of
Keeping Records

department In which Sheldon worked
with c. e. Horton. who is awaiting
trial in the superior court on a
charge of embezzlement.
Stubs and Cash Kept Out.
Our investigation OF the shortage
In Horizons and sheldon's depart
ment convinced US that at different
times before the stubs with their cash
equivalent were turned over TO the
treasurer a number of stubs, with the
amount of cash which they repre-
sented. were secretly taken out. and
50 these stubs and the cash they rep
resented never reached the city treas
urer When the stubs which were
turned over to the treasurer we're
handed back TO Horton and Sheldon
and placed on file, the stubs which
had been taken out previously were
placed on the same file with those
which had been turned over to the
treasurer.
This precauiion had to be taken
because the stubs representing money
paid by citizens for water connections
had to be turned over to the water
construction department In the base
ment Of the city hall before the con-
nections could be made. II these
stubs did not appear In the office Of
the water construction department
the latter department would not make
the connections which had been paid
for.
The amount OF money paid into
Horizons and sheldon's department
tallies exactly with the total OF the
stubs on die In the water construction
ONCE. The actual amount OF money
paid over to the treasurer. however.
as having been collected for making
water connections Is some 5000 less
than the books show was received.
The practice In the once was
when there was more cash al the end
Of the days business than the figures
on the stubs showed. the average was
placed IN the bull sack Whenever
there were more stubs than cash an
!. o. U. was placed in the bull sack,
and the shortage was made good from
the next oxerage. Occasionally the
deputies may have made good short.

can national committee, and James
T. Williams Jr., member of Judge

Washington and will leave tomorrow
for Colorado Springs, where republic
can state chairmen and members of

Chicago. at which the leaders of the
central states will be present, and af-
ter that the eastern republican leaders
will meet Mr.. Hitchcock in New York.
In discussing the political situation,
Mr.. Hitchcock said the hardest bat
ties would have to be fought west of
the Missouri river.
1--WE want to show the people that
we are at work and mean justice, ;"
said Mr.. Hitchcock. There is not
state that. will be neglected; nor a
state that will be abandoned to he
other party"
The opinion was expressed by Mr.
Hitchcock that the east is pretty safe
for Mr.. Taft and on that account he
said that he may devote much of his
time to the west, with headquarters
at Chicago This win not be deter
mined, however. until after the con-
ferences with the state leaders.
In addition to the headquarters
which will be established in New
York on August and in Chicago

NEW YORK, July Contrary
to the rumors that Mrs. Frank ].
Gould had been reconciled to her hus-
band and that their differences had
been amicably settled, Mrs. Gould's
suit for divorce is on the motion cal
endar of the supreme court today,
and 1t is expected that il will be
brought to trial in a few weeks.
All efforts of friends of the young
couple to bring about settlement Of
the marital difficulties without re-
sort to the divorce court are said to
have failed.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Gould has
had brought down from Nova Scotia
two men who are ready to testify
as to certain things alleged to have
happened on a Watching trip taken
by Mrs. Gould to Nova Scotia during
the summer of 1905. These men. 1t
is said. were in court last week, but
Mrs. Gould's attorney on that date
found some defect in the papers. and
an adjournment had to be taken I'M
til today.
In the meantime. Il is reported, 1t
was advisable TO smuggle the Nova
scotians out Of the city as quietly as
they we're brought in. Accordingly
the men we're taken. to an out-of-the-
way village on the north shore OF
Long Island. There. with their iden-

CoLFAx. Wash, July ls.-A man
named Cophy. who has been working
In one Of the Milwaukee construction
camps near Rock lake, seven miles
northwest OF st. John, was brought
to Colfax and placed in st. Ignatius
hospital, suffering with self-inflicted
wounds, from which 1t is doubtful II
he will recover.
Cophy was found lying in the CEN
ter OF a wheat field. where he had
made several attempts to end his life
with dynamite caps His body in the
region of the stomach is blown full
of small holes and he is badly LAGER
ated about the head and face. From
appearances Of the wounds and the
condition of the mans clothing it is
presumed that he deliberately lay
down on a number OF the caps and
then set them OF.
The man who found him sent word
to Marshal cummins. of st, John.
who, in turn. notified the sheriffs
Office and Sheriff Ratliff ordered him
brought to st. John, from which place
the sherin himself brought him to
the hospital.
DIR. STUNT, county physician, states
that he does not think he can live the
night through. Nothing that would
give the officers a clue to his friends
or relatives was found on or about
him except a letter from Ed. Cophy,
Aberdeen, S. D., who is presumed to
be his brother.

HILL SAYS TO
ADVANCE RATES
bit the Railroads on Better Finan-
cial Footing

NEW YORK, July lS.-J. j. Hill,
.irman of the Great Northern, Is of
opinion that the solution of the
aneial problem that confronts the
ilroads is an increase in freight
les. He is strongly opposed to
in wages as means of increas-
the net earnings of railroads. Mr..
N. who has just returned from
hing trip in Canada, made the fol-
wing statement today:
eThere is no alternative but to
lse rates. The credit of the roads
been seriously impaired. The
ay to enhance credit is to increase
ties.
"Wages should not be cut. Eff
ent labor is essential to successful
eration. Railroad employees have
euliar responsibility They have
meet a hard test. They should get
lair recompense. Cut wages 10 per
int and the man who got SIS last
eek gets $3.50 this week. 1t is
e difference between meat and no
eat
Freight rates in this country are
" beyond comparison. Receiving
ut one-half and even one-third of
be rates received in European coun-
les, the wages paid railroad en-
ges here average 100 per cent
CHER than those paid in Europe.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-A special

ys:
In the opinion of Juston Clements.
member of the interstate commerce
Ommission, the proposed general in
rease in freight rates discussed in
ew York by the presidents of many
the eastern railroads in the Trunk
ine association, would constitute a
iolation of the Sherman antitrust
aW and would render all the rail-
pads concerned liable to severe pen
tiles. Mr. Clements explained that
be interstate commerce commission,
sa commission, is not at all interest
d in the sherman antitrust law, the
zecution of which is entrusted to the
apartment of justice, but he express
ID his opinion as a lawyer and cited
recent instance where the supreme
EOurt had so decided.
AS lawyer" he said, 81 am will

N Increase in rates as was contem-
Hated by the eastern railways at their
neeting yesterday in New York would
Pc in direct violation of the antitrust
law.
When practically all the eastern
roads. and. for that matter, all the
roads in the country, by a mutual
asreement raise rates, it is to my
alnd a procedure which brings them
Under that clause of the antitrust
Jaw which prevents pooling and IL
legal combinations.
Whether or not there is any ne
oessity now for an increase of rates
am not prepared to say. II the in

mat the railways will give the anti
uust law careful consideration before
'ney consider a general increase in
rates.
similar case came up in Georgia
some time ago during some lumber
aeaiings. Federal Judge Speer de-
eided that the railroads had formed

rates and the supreme court after

SPOKANE. Wash. July 1s.-The
preliminary hearing of C. B. sheldon.
formerly a deputy in the Office OF
City Treasurer M. H. Eggleston.
charged with embezzlement Of the
city's funds. was started in Justice
]. d. Hinkle's court yesterday. The
prosecution put on three witnesses
and then the case was continued by
mutual consent until July 90. The
methods prevailing in the treasurers
Office were gone into in detail, the
prosecution explaining its theory as
to how the money was embezzled.
The most important witness was
Frank Allen, assistant corporation
counsel. Sheldon admitted to me
in a conversation on the afternoon OF
June 80 that a bull sack had been
kept in the Office of the treasurer.
and that he had received amounts
from It at different times. said Allen

money in the sack belonged to the
city. He said he at one time reeeiv-
ed as much as $50 from the sack.
which was In reality a cigar box. He
asserted in my presence and in the
presence of Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Don Kiser and Detective Mar
tin Burns that he knew he had no
right to take the money He did not
say definitely how much he got all
together. but said he did not think
it would exceed 5000. He said he
had made good this amount by max
ing good cash shortages out of his
own pocket.
Allen Explains System.
The system in vogue In the de-
partment in which Sheldon worked
is as follows: When citizens wish
TO have their water pipes connected
with the city mains a bill Is sent them
Tor the improvement, after the con-
nection has been made and before the
water Is turned on. When this bill
is paid at the treasurer's Office the

Aunt Sophie said she ''liked to see boys
eat" and her liking was eminently graft
fed whenever Bobby came visiting.
The dinner was glorious one, intend
ed to give Bobby chance to display in
the. highest degree his peculiar abilities,
and Aunt Sophie watched him with pleas
ant anticipation.
Great was her surprise, soon turned to
alarm, when Bobby barely tasted his soup,
toyed with the turkey, took one bite of the
pumpkin pie and put aside the ice cream.
Have you been eating anything7" Bob

sisted stoutly that he had not and then,
to turn the uncomfortable questioning de.

morning. IA

brought up in the country somewhere in
Pennsylvania and, next after feeding bows.
she enjoyed dosing them with medicines
OF her own concoction Here was oppor-
tunity and she seized it.
She soon had ready her grand remedy
above all others, her own particular pride.
It was a mixture of powdered boneset
ieayes, rochelle salts and baking soda,
: which after being nicely mixed into a
paste with castor oil, was fed to the VIC
tim from spoon.
bobby was led out like lamb 10 the
slaughter and indeed Aunt Sophie said
something about his being poor little
lamb. Her error was slight one. He
was a little pig.
He yainly protested. His jaws were
pried apart--they had been apart several
times before that day-and the awful dose
was forced upon him. His eyes rolled,
his frame shook and catastrophe was
clearly seen to be ahead A quick alarm
was sounded and appliances usual for
such emergencies were summoned. After

sauce, celery, figs and other discriminating
evidence were there by the pound. Then

by the confession that is good for the
soul, supposing that little pigs have souls.
There followed a diet Of bread and
milk. toast and the like, before Bobby
was himself again. But that time uri-
happily came and he is once more little
pig; but.it is not likely that he will again
attend any dinner intended for newsboys.
