Report Fauors RemOUal of Supern-
tendent of Poor.

Albany. Aug 4-The report of an investigation
of the financial affairs Of Warren County.
der the direction of State Controller Martin H.
GIynn, forth nine separate and distinct causes
which. in the opinion Of the examiners, would jus
tify the preferment of charges for the removal of
Arthur l. Soper from the Office of Superintendent
of the Poor OF that county. The summary OF the
report given out to-day says:
Criticism is made of the conduct OF other officials
of that county. The present and the last preced-
ing County Treasurer were found TO have paid bills
thority and have expended public funds in pay
ment of unauthorized interest It was also found
that former sheriff and a former county clerk
made Illegal charges against the county. and that
the Board of Supervisors has been guilty Of negli-
fencs a sebarPe a4a ees Of PrdGt dutS
The examiners found that Mr.. soper has held the
office of Superintendent Of the Poor for eight and
one-half years, expending during that time more
than sOO 900 of public funds in cash. and yet
kent a set of books He has not even retained
the check stubs from which the checks were

1t is hardly fair to presume that this particular
class of papers would for eight years become mis-,
at the same time would generally be preserved.
The report further alleges that since Mr. Soper
has been Superintendent of the Poor he sold the
county about hundred and thirty acres of land
for 50 500 Four years later, representing himself
to be acting for third person, he repurchased the
farm for $3.50.
The Controllers summary of the Warren County
report says further:
The report critcises severely many OF the meth
ods employed by County Treasurer Reoux and for
mer County Treasurer Packard during their re-
spective aduinist "a tiOns. Payments OF bills have
been made without audit by the Board of Super
visors and claims have been allowed which were

method of conducting affairs in Warren County
seems to have been matter OF established Gus
During the last six or seven years large sums
of money have been borrowed by the Treasurer

e-Three straights from the Waverly.
Tenn, baseball team is the record OF
the Murray team, as yesterday after
noon the home lads won by a score
OF 10 to 3. The feature of the game
was the work of both pitchers, and
the base playing and batting of Dick
Drahic. second baseman OF Paducah.
Out OF the five times that Brahic
faced Haywood he slammed out three
hits. two OF them being good for two
sacks. The support that was given
TO both pitchers was ragged at times,
and most of the runs were not
earned. waverly tied the score in
the eighth inning. but in the final
foInd Murray came to bat with de
