HANDLING OF MONEY
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Mr.. Tweedale Calls Attention to
Recommendation He Made
In Annual Report.

That an investigation OF the books Of
the Juvenile Court shows carelessness
in the handling OF accounts in non
support cases was the statement today
OF Alonzo Tweedale, auditor Of the Dis
trict
Edgar Nathan Merriman, deputy clerk
OF the court. upon whom this duty de-
volved, has resigned and two experts
from the Office Of the auditor are now
enga ged In an examination Of his books.
The investigation thus far. said Mr..
Tweedsle. today shows ''unbusinesslike
methods" Until the books are bal
anced and a report made to the Commits
sioners no further statement will be
made by the auditor.
The experts from the Office of the
auditor have been at work on the books
two weeks and expect to conclude their
task within the next few days.
In His Report.
In connection with the investigation.
Auditor Tweedale today called atten-
ton TO his annual report. in which he
characterized the present system OF
handling money paid 70 the clerk OF
the Juvenile Court in non-support cases
as defective.
Under the present system" said the
auditor, "all Of these collections are
paid over TO the clerk OF the Juvenile
Court by direction of the Judge of said
court and are deposited in the bank to
the credit of the clerk and the expend-
itures therefrom to the parties en-
titled, are made by checks issued and
signed by the clerk. These checks,
after payments by the banks. are re-
turned to the clerk of the court, and
become vouchers or evidence of pay
ment in the audit and veriication of
the clerks account therefor.
1t VIII be seen in the handling OF
these moneys the clerk or the Juvenile
Court performs The duties of both
receiving and disbursing officer. 1t is
manifest these two duties IN order to
afford all the necessary safeguards I'm
the handling and accounting OF money s
so received, should be separate and in
words the present system is defective"
Would Make Change.
Mr.. Tweedale recommends legislation
be obtained from Congress requiring all
moneys received by the clerk of the Ju-
venile Court TO be paid into the Treas |
ury of the United States through the
Collector Of Taxes Of the District, and
all expenditures be made therefrom by
the Disbursing Officer on vouchers and
payrolls prepared and approved by the
Auditor
During the fiscal year ended June 80.
1909. the moneys received for non
support cases amounted 70 approximate
u $4,000, representing an average Of COO !

Washington, Jan. 25-Conflict in the
ranks of the forces working to drive
the demon rum from the Federal Cap
ital has served more effectually to
check that move this year than has
anything else. The situation today in
Washington relative to the temper

this line from a speech of Lincoln,

i've leaders of this crusade who have
tion on the liquor problem cannot
agree on whether they want out-and-
out prohibition Or local option. One
would mean the most radical step pos
sible, statutory prohibition, step
that but few of the states have ven,
tured to take, and the other a COM
promise with the forces that are con
tending to keep the District of Co

is a point that the radical temperance
crusaders will never concede: conse.

of Congress began this winter.
No Anti-Booze Law.
While this may not seriously ham,
per the future of the movement, par
ticularly if the temperance hosts get
together on a common ground later.
it certainly has been factor in de.
termining that there will be no anti
liquor legislation passed at this ses
sion of Congress. And Congress is
not sorry because of the conflict rag
ing within the house of Bacchus' enc

opportune than otherwise, for it re-

a number in the law making body de.
