New Orleans sub-treasury brought
about most thorough investigation
by special agents of the treasury de-
partment which resulted in the re.
covery of about 100000 An official
connected with the sub-treasury was
accused of the theft, but acquitted,
and of the million dollars stolen the
net loss to the government still re-
mains s6S0,S9153. This sum long ago
was charged to the loss account of
Uncle Sam.
Probably the most unique loss to
the government came through the
mint at San Francisco fifty years
ago when more than $4,000 was sup
posed to have been literally blown
away. The fiue at the refinery was
defective and when the government
entered suit to recover the amount
supposed to have been wasted 1t lost
the suit. Exactly $3.50, $50 in gold and
$1,776 in silver was alleged to have
gone UP the chimney because of de-
fective construction.
Disbursing officers In the various
departments have been the means of
large losses to the government. too.
William Yeatman, disbursing clerk in
the war department, through suppos-
ed payments on land adjoining army
posts. and which it was supposed be-
longed to the government, managed
to develop a shortage of 100000 Not
for many years was 1t discovered that
the property for which Yeatman was
supposed to be paying did not be-
long to the government and that the
payments instead had gone into his
pockets. When the government fin
ally made these discoveries Yeatman
was dead.
Until comparatively recent years
foreign estates left by citizens of the
United States who died abroad were
taken charge of by the diplomatic
agents of this government and turned
over to the state department and were
under the direct charge of the disburs-
ing officer of this department. During
the tenure Of Office Of one of these dis
bursting officers, it was charged that
alone more than 100000 disappeared.
This loss resulted in the changing of
the law so that now such estates are
placed In trust and are fully protected.
Among the comparatively few con-
victions for embezzlement from the
government were the case of M. L.
Bridgeman, Indian agent at Fort Bel
mont, Mont, who in 1900 was found
to be short more than $4,000 and SEN

fenced to the penitentiary, and w. w.
Karr, former disbursing agent Of the
Smithsonian Institution, sentenced to
two years for the embezzlement Of
$7,400 from one OF the government
trust funds. Bridgeman was charged
with pocketing money from govern
ment funds and charging these sums
to purchases for the government The
purchases, however, were never made,

It was 80 easy in "the good old
days" to get money from the govern
ment illegally that many in Uncle
Sans employee became rich and were
almost never detected or punished In
former days probably the most work
ed system was by means Of having
creditors OF the government sign re-
ceipts in blank before payment. This
permitted many Irregularities
The signing of blank receipts before
payment has been practised even In
recent years, according to facts re-
Gently developed by a committee of con-
gressmen investigating expenditures
In the state department. The particu-
lar instance discovered was that In
which check for $2,45O was drawn in
payment for the painting of the por-
trait OF Secretary Day. The artist
signed a blank receipt and received but
$500. The balance of 81 1850 went else
where and the committee thought the
transaction SO irregular 1t recommend
ed the dismissal of the two government
employees involved in the transaction.
Recent recoveries of funds out OF
which the government was defrauded
included $4,000 from former Capt.
Oberlin NJ Carter, Benz. d. Greene and
~. F. Gaynor all of whom were con-
victed Of extensive frauds in the Sa-
vannah harbor Improvement contracts.
Fines against these men of more than
one million dollars remain uncollected
while nearly 100000 is still tied up in
litigation.

ment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWsoME CREATURES VERY
COMMON FINDS Ex-
PERT.

Many people In the United States
are afflicted with a queer disease, &C
cording to statement yesterday by
Professor James M. Munyon. He made
the following remarkable and rather
grewsome statement:
Many persons who come and write
to my headquarters at SD and Jeffer-
son streets, Philadelphia, Pa, think
they are suffering from simple stom-
ach trouble when in reality they are
the victims Of an entirely different
disease that Of tape worm. These
tape worms are huge internal para
sites, which locate in the upper bowel
and consume large percentage of
the nutriment in undigested food.
They sometimes grow to length of
forty to sixty feet. One NAV have q
tape worm for years and never know
the cause Of his or her i'll health.
Persons who are suffering from one
OF these creatures become nervous,
weak and irritable, and tire at the
least exertion. The tape worms rob
one OF ambition and vitality and
strength, but they are rarely fatal.
The victim Of this disease is apt
to believe that he is suffering from
chronic stomach trouble. and doctors
Tor years without relief This is not
the fault OF the physician he consults,
for there is no absolute diagnosis
that will tell positively that one is not
victim of tape worm.
"Tha mOuf coyny,or -
this trouble is an abnormal appetite
At times the person is ravenously
hungry and cannot get enough to eat
AT other times the very sight Of food
IS loathsome. There Is a gnawing,
faint sensation at the pit of the
stomach, and the victim has head
aches, fits of dizziness and nausea. He
cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he Is suffering from nervous

great creatures from the system. In

the treatment will rebuild the run

ing from stomach trouble and gem

report marvellous success here with
this treatment. Fully a dozen per-
sons have passed these worms, but

cussing them, and of course we can
not violate their confidence by giving
their names to the public

Uncle Sam himself is often the vic
Tim OF these very same undesirable
lcitizens
FIFTEEN millions OF dollars have
been stolen outright from the United
States government since the union OF
the states.
Last year alone the treasury de-
partment reported that of the funds
supposed to be in the mints. sub
treasures and assay office and Unit
ed States repositories there was a
shortage OF $1,5s5.154.24 and no one
lCan estimate the amount the govern
ment has lost through fraudulent con-
tracts, padded accounts and irregular
claims.
That most Of this vast sum was
cunn1ngly taken from the government
prior to the last few years indicates
both that it is now harder to steal
from Uncle Sam than IN the good
pld days." and that government en-
lployes have become more honest
tThefts through many shrewd devices
have caused a gradual Tightening OF
the government purse strings through
improved methods of accounting, but
tonly with the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year have all departments
Fof the government been compelled to
adopt universal system OF book
keeping. Such system was recon-
fmended by the commission appoint
led by President Taft to evolve meth.
rods Of efficiency. and with the uni
lversal accounting system 1t is believed
additional leaks, possibly heretofore
undiscovered will be stopped.

mittees now probing the expenditures
of practically every department of the
government may also make recon-
mendations intended still further to

United States minis and subtreas-

money in their vaults, have been the
victims of some Of the largest losses

the opening Of the mint in San Frac.

manner, while the greatest single loss
)rto the government was that of cool

etreasury lost $4,000 in some myster

SMALL PLUMBER is TOO
NIMBLE FOR BIG POLICEMAN

Recorder James F. Kelly will be
called upon to decide in the Kearny
Police Court tonight just what pun
ishment should be melted out to a Ave-
foot plumber, who refused to let a six
foot policeman arrest him for beng
drunk and disorderly, and who humil-
lated the policeman by wrestling with
and throwing him on Kearny avenue in
the shadow of the Town Hall.
The accused is William Mcdonald, 81
years old. of Maple street. who, Patrol
man Fabian Ecklof alleges, was intox-
icated on Kearny avenue as people
were going to church yesterday morn
ing. Advice, he said, had no effect on
Mcdonald, and when Ecklof tried to
arrest him, the plumber gave him a
lively tussle, broke away and escaped.
Ecklof got out q warrant and with
R~oundsman William Magee located
Mcdonald late last night and put him
behind bars.
