DISTRICT OUT ONLY SlO' SCHEME OF HIGH F|NANCCEE|
NOT $500 AS IT SEEMED ON THE
BOOKS.
Juvenile Court Accounts Are Only
Technically Short, Corporation
Counsel Thomas Decides.

The Commissioners have decided that
the $500 which disappeared from the
books of the Juvenile Court will have to
remain just as ii is and that no effort
will be made to collect it. Out of the
entire sum Corporation Counsel Thomas
has given as his opinion that only $40 of
it can be rightfully claimed by the Dis
trict. This sum represents fine imposed
on a certain defendant by the court.
The reason is, according to the Com
missioners, that the money in question
never entered the treasury OF the Dis
trict. 1t was all non-support money, eX-
cepting the ten-dollar fine. 1t was the
money which Judge De Lacy ordered
John Smith or Tom Jones to pay Mrs.
Smith or Mrs. Jones. and which, Under
rhe arrangement at the court, was SIM
ply passed from husband to wife. touch
ing the Juvenile Court merely in transit.
Therefore the Commissioners will in
form the Juvenile Court that there is no
liability on the part of the District for
the money. 1t is suggested that there Is
simply a miX-up and that no one can
point out where the money went. Mr..
Thomas argues that If the District at
tempts to collect that money, then the
wives who are shown on the auditor S
list as having failed TO receive this
money, can turn around and make good
claim against the District simply because
the District has acknowledged its interest
by making an effort to collect
There is a bill now in Congress author
izing change in the methods of handling
non-support money at the Juvenile Court.
If it passes the money will be disbursed
by the disbursing office of the District.
exactly as all other District payments are
made.

OFFICERS OF LAW AFTER
SHOWER OF THE QUEER
Man Who Raises One-Dollar Bills to
$40 Is Operating in the
City.

John f. Wilkie, chief of the secret serv-
ice division of the Treasury Department,
and the local police are after a man who
is dealing In fraudulent ten-dollar bills.
After passing one of the bills on Mrs
Mary f. Cone. who conducts a roomine
house at 225 street northwest, the man
called at the house of Mrs. Mary Joseph
S07 9Th street northwest, and made an
unsuccessful effort to repeat the trans
action.
The caller was just as willing to rent
a room at the sth street house as he was
at the house of Mrs. Cone, but Mrs.
Joseph told the police she detected that
the bill was worthless and refused to
deal with him.
Declined to Give Trouble.
Il saw at a glance that the bill had
been altered in some way declared Mrs
Joseph. and told him I would get it
changed at a store. He said he would
not put me to so much trouble and told
me he would return with the proper
change"
Mrs. Joseph came near to losing the
she had accepted the bill and agreed
to give him a room in her house. AS
soon as she discovered the bill was
worthless she withheld the change and
made an effort to also keep the bill, but
the man grabbed it from her. He told
her there was nothing wrong with it and
said he would return at O'Clock with
the proper change.
The bill Mrs Cone accepted was one
dollar bill that had been raised to $40
and the secret service operatives and the
police say it was poor job. Mrs. Cone
and Mrs. Joseph gave about the same
description of the man. and the police
both houses.
A description of the alleged counter
feiter was telephoned to the several po-
lice stations. Maj. Sylvester also had the
police notify keepers of rooming houses
to send them word should the stranger
make any further effort to pass the
money.
