367 for the one month, or a net total
for the year Of SIT routes. The an
nual cost during the fiscal year for
this increase of SIT routes was thus
limited to ~s21o,437. oil $1,000 of l
per cent of the annual appropriation.
Tn October, 1910. the fourth as
sistant's bureau apparently faced a
deficit IN account of the star-route
service. n instructions were issued
TO reduce h expenditures for exist
ing service to such a figure as would
avoid a deficit. The attention of con-
gress was not called TO the condition.
and s~tar-route service was d!scon-
tinued or curtailed. and proposed ad-
ditionaI service was not established.
Protests and demands for restoration
were so urgent and insistent. how
ever, that in the early part OF May,
1911, nearly all of the st~ar-route SER
vice previously discontinued or cur
tailed was restored, effective June l,
1911. These discontinuances and cur
tailments effected a saving or de-
crease of nearly 100000 in the ex-
penditures for star-roate service dur
ing 1911"
Coming to the question Of financial
conditions, he report describes the
comprehensive study OF the finances
of the department for the fiscal years
1909 to 1912, inclusive, as outlined
above. and says specifically:
"Instead of a surplus of $2l9.11S.12
for that year t1911), as claimed by
your predecessor, It is clearly dem
onstrated that there was in reality a
deficit Of more than three-quarters
of a million dollars. Furthermore, r.
close analysis OF the financial state
ment for the fiscal a 1912 dis
closes the fact that the admitted de-
felt OF s1,7s5.623.10 for that year
was understated by nearly 500. 900"
The remainder of the report Is TAX
en- up with a study OF the physical
conditions under which the depart
ment's work Is carried IN. pointing
out many instances Of inadequate
quarters. incenvenicnt and uneconom-
icaI distribution Of space, Anticipated
equipment, and other detrimental
working conditions. The report also
recommends various administrative
changes.

GIRL IS ROBBED
WHILE SHOPPING
WARNED BY FLOOR WALKER TO
CLOSE HANDBAG, DISCOv-
ERS HER LOSS.

Sobbing as If her heart would
break, Miss Sarah Lindsay. of eos
North T~wenty-stxth street, told De-
tective Gordon Smith yesterday at
ternoon how she had been robbed in
woolworth's Eve and ten-cent store
of $22, nearly all her savings
When the detective answered the
call to the store, he found a large
crowd gathered In and around the
store and the girl crying inside. She
was SO much upset by her loss that,
to avoid the curious crowd. Detective
Smith took her to a nearby confec-
tionery. where she told him the story.
She had entered the store to make
some small purchases, and had taken
out two dollars to spend. A floor
walker noticed that her handbag was
opened at the side, and that the side
pocket was hanging loose. He warned
Miss Lindsay to be careful. and then
1t was that she noticed that her
money, consisting of a $40 bill, two
SIS bills and a 50 bill, wrapped to-
gether, was missing. She searched the
floor In the vicinity. but there was
no sign of the money. It a been
stolen. A young man who had ac-
companied her was nearly as much
upset as she was.
I'm a poor girl cried Miss Lind
say. land l don't know what to do"
The detective promised to do all he
could for her, and made a report of
the theft. #
