FRAUDS IN OFFICE OF
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC

A dispatch from San Francisco says:
Extensive frauds perpetrated by new
method have been discovered in the
| freight department OF the Southern Pa

dismissed from the company's employ.
pending an Investigation of shortages
which have occurred in funds with

den. son OF Chief Steward Glidden of
the Toyo Kisen Kalsha. the Japanese
steamship line, In the employ of the
company 10 years. and a clerk named
Marsnalle, for eight years in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific. They
have been working under Melville c.
Cleaves. assistant local freight agent.
No arrests have yet been made, as
the auditing department OF the com
pany has not yet completed its eX.
porting and cannot yet place the re-
sponsfbility for the shortage. but it is
estimated that the loss TO the com.
pany has been between $1,000 and
81. 900
The very method of the bold oper-
ators was calculated TO shorten the
period Of their operations The scheme
was to change deposit tags when mon
ey was taken TO the bank
The embezzler would take a ccr-
tain sum of money TO a bank for de-
posit Between the railroad Office
and the bank there would be a sum
extracted from the total and the de
roslt tag fixed TO represent the re-
duced amount. This process of snav-
ing was carried on for some weeks
with considerable success: but on the
return of Hardy from the east he look
ed closely into the working Of his de-
partment and found that the accounts
did not appear correct. He set the
auditing department on the scent Of the
missing coin.
