Fsvors Business Methods in Keeping
Tabs on Budgets.
PROVIDES FUND OF $4,000
New Yorker Thinks officials of Mu-
inequalities Should Try to Help
One Another.
PROVIDES FUND OF $3o,0O'

Alonzo Tweedale auditor of the District
| has received a letter from Herman A.
Metz, former controller of the city of
New York. asking for cooperation in the
| line of educating the public in really
busness-like methods in keeping tabs on
city budgets and expenditures. Mr.. Metz
has donated $4,000 to be used in making
| available to American cities information
concerning the best methods Of municipal
accounting and reporting.
The letter OF Mr.. Metz to Mr.. Tweedale
has been used by various newspapers
| throughout the north to express the pur.
pose Of this fund.
Mr.. Metz's letter. written from Ham
burg. Is as follows:
During my present trip on this side
of the ocean I have been impressed by
| the fact that in Germany especially the
uniformity Of accounting methods among
The larger cities gives a much better basis
for comparison as to cost of administra-
ton, maintenance, etc. than We have at
home. As even under our various sys-
| TENS OF administration of municipal af-
fairs all our cities are dependent upon
their ability to float their bonds, and ap-
parently In ever-increasing amounts. II
would seem only natural that bond buy
what financial and accounting methods
are In force In the respective cities. and
be able to make a comparison as to credit
ability, based on something more than a
general legal provision as to borrowing
capacity.
Asks for Cooperation.
Il am writing. therefore. to ask your
personal and of'icial cooperation in some
educational work in which we both have
an interest, and to aprise you of my
purpose to provide a fund of $4,000 a
year for three years to make available
to other American cities the best princi-
pies and practice worked out in municipal
accounting and reporting.
THE fund is to be administered by the
directors Of the New York Bureau Of
Municipal Research. But having in mind
It's national application through the CO.
keeping ii as q separate fund. While II
is obvious that the $4,000 will not reor-
ganize the accounts of all American cities,
II should, however. be sufficient to make
availa BILE to all American cities the results
OF the experience which is being acquired
in each. For example, New York city has
spent for the last several years thousands
Of dollars in working out principles and
In demonstrating the practical application
Of accounting methods to municipal busi-
ness. A good deal OF progress was made
during my administration as controller,
and / am glad to see that my successor
in ONCE is Continuing the work which be-
gan under me. Every city I'm America
should have the benefit OF the work
which is now being effectively carried on,
and New York should have the benefit of
the experience Of your city and Of other
cities.

MADR|z N|PS PLOT
Of ELAYA'S Wife
Conspirator in Cups Reveals
Plan to Make Irias Presi-
dent of Nicaragua.

SAN JOSE. Costa RIGA, August 10.
via New Orleans. La, August 1S.-Quick
work on the part Of President Madriz OF
Nicaragua has prevented the overthrow
Of his government. According to infor-
nation which has reached here from
Managua from an unquestionably reliable
source. Sonora Zelaya, wife of the de-
posed President of Nicaragua, organized
conspiracy to overthrow Madriz and
install DR.. Irias In the presidential chair.
The conspirators had progressed to
point where they were almost ready to
spring the trap when one of the trusted
followers of Sonora Zelaya drank too
freely and revealed the plot. President
Madriz took summary steps to prevent
the conspiracy from being carried out
and the plotters were frustrated. Sonora
Zelaya was ordered to leave the country
forthwith. and President Madriz took
pains to see that she was placed. with
steamship San Jose, bound from Corinto
to Panama.
Irias Invited to Resign.
DR.. Irias. who held a place in the
MadriE cabinet was invited to resign. and
the lesser figures In the conspiracy were
thrown into prison. President Madriz
guarded his discovery Of the conspiracy
SO closely that none of the Managua
newspapers has been permitted to make
any reference to II. AS an excuse for
DR.. Irias' resignation. IL was officially an
nounced that he was forced to retire on
account of ill-health. When Sonora Le-
laya left Managua for Corinto, under
government escort, to take passage
aboard the steamship, 1t was publicly an
nounced from the presidential palace that
she had been summoned to Europe by her
husband
That Is all the information the public In
Nicaragua has been permitted to know,
but the facts about the conspiracy soon
became known to members of the diplo-
matte corps at Managua, and 1t was
