S3,288,27 DISCREPANCY
ON NAVY YARD BOOKS
Faulty Bookkeeping Responsible for the Condition, /
Statement of Secretary Meyer


yards were frequently not invoiced for
months and even years after their de-
livery, the consequence being that at
any particular time the books OF the
yard would show material on hand
actually to be found by inventory,
while the ships wouli have on board
quantities of material not accompanied
by invoices and therefore not shown on
the books. Owing to the high value OF
many ordnance supplies. this practice
was particularly liable to show large
difference between the values of ord
nance materials actually on hand and
as shown by the books
Navy department officials said ex-
plicitiy there was no indication that
wrongdoing was involved in the dis
crepancy and that undoubtedly 1T was
due to the antiquated bookkeeping
methods.

WASHINGTON. Oct. "a discrepancy
of over s3,2ss,271~ between the material
on hand and that called for by the
books of the Washington navy yard
was shown by the inventory of that
yard just completed. according to an
announcement by Secretary of the Navy
Meyer today.
This is the first inventory of record
made at this yard within the last rs
years.
The discrepancy is attributed to loose
bookkeeping methods, which Secretary
Meyer set out some time ago to cor
rect.

Obviously the opposition to Taft is
not coincident with the strength of La
Toilette. obviously, also, the campaign
for the Wisconsin man has thus far in
cluded husky lot of misrepresentation
and misinformation.
The result of this poll is almost COM
pletely to set at naught the figuring of
the political wise men of the east who
have been putting California out of the
Taft column-some because. they hoped
TO see this state drugged and kidnapped
for La Toilette and others because they
listened too respectfully to the noisy
group of rabid radicals in California
who has been playing the hand Of the
put -Taft-in-a hole" schemers.
To insure a poll entirely free from
possible distortion due to local and
other conditions The Call said to each
of the editors addressed:
As a matter of course, these re-
plies will be treated as entirely con-
fdential. That is. only total figures

sult of this poll, with general in
ferences as to the sentiment OF the
various sections covered by the re-

mention or other use of the name OF

prietor.
Many of those who responded were
free to say that they had no objection
