CITY MAKES GOOD
LAST OF SHORTAGE
ON STREET FUNDS
McMahan Pays Last of $685.
435.2O Debt Incurred by
Careless Handling of Mon
ey in Former Years.

With a sigh of relief City Controller
McMahan today completed the work OF
making good the shortage of s2S, ,435.20
in the special street Improvement
fund, which was incurred several
years ago and was detected by agents
of the state board of accounts last
summer The last payment of $4,000
to make up this shortage was paid in
today. No sooner had this been done
than Controller McMahan withdrew
from the special fund $4,072.7s and
paid it in to the sinking fund of the
municipal plant. the special fund hav-
ing been indebted to the light plant
fund that amount.
Just a year ago called bonds for
street Improvements to the amount of
$13,32O63 were purchased with monies
investment for the plant, for these
bonds were supposed to be five per
cent interest bearing, which was more
interest than the plant was receiving
from the banks where it had its money
deposited.
1t developed later that these called
bonds should have been redeemed out
of the special street fund, which at
that time was short because of poor
management of city affairs during
former administration. And it also de-
veloped that the purchasing of these
bonds was no investment for the city
plant because they ceased to be in
terest bearing after they were called
in. Therefore it was necessary to pay
back to the light plant sinking fund
the money illegally taken from it to
buy these bonds, and this debt had to
be redeemed out of the special fund
of the city. This debt has for several
months been paid on the installment
plan, the payment being completed to-
day when the S4072.7S was turned in
to the light plant sinking fund.
the $2S, ,435 20 shortage in the special
fund was contracted by careless sys-
tenn of handling funds. In several
instances when bonds We're issued for
street improvements the money receiv-
ed from them, instead of being paid
into the special fund to be available
to redeem the bonds when they came
due, was paid into the general fund,
the fund out of which the operating
expenses of the city are met.

FATHERS MAKE PLEA
FOR TWO DAUGHTERS
But DAYTON Police Hold
Girls to Prosecute Man
Caught Stealing Bicycles.

Charles Fish, father of Mildred Fish,
16 years old, went to Dayton today to
see if he would have better success
in obtaining the release of his daugh-
ter than William Woods fruitless eff
fort to secure the custody of his daugh-
ter, Madaline Wood, also 16 years old
Both girls are held on a charge Of
delinquency, and Chief Goodwin of the
Richmond police department said to-
day he had been told it was the in
tention of the Dayton authorities to
use the girls as prosecuting witnesses
against a man who gave his name as
George Anderson, in the event Ander
son is charged with having violated the
federal white slave act.
Anderson, it is said, met the girls at
the Richmond traction station and in.
duced them to accompany him to Day
ton, where they rented two rooms at
boarding house, Anderson represent
ing the Wood girl to be his wife and
the Fish girl his sister. The follow
ing day he was arrested for stealing
four bicycles, and was bound over to
the grand jury.
Married Once Before.
Fish told Chief Goodwin today that
his daughter had once been married but
left her husband. He did not tell who
her husband is. He said he never had
heard of man by the name of George
Anderson, which strengthens the belief
that the man was a chance acquaint-
ance of the girls, they having never
seen him before until they met him at
the traction station.
Fish informed the chief that his
daughter for time had been a little
wild and difficult to control, but Of
late he had believed she was properly
conducting herself. He did not konw
that she had run away until he read of
her eScapade in the Palladium.
Like Wood, the father of the Fish
girl is anxious to have her return
home and live down her disgrace

PUBLIC MARKET
FORFEITS RIGHTS
OF CITY UPKEEP
Patrons Pay Regular Prices
! for Fo0dstuffs and GrOcers
: Say Competition Doesn't
! Hurt.
Taxpayers Bear Burden of
Giving Market Dealers
; Business Places at Small
Rentals.

That the city market might as we'll
be abolished for the good it does the
community, is a conclusion to which
Marketmaster Mckinley has come aft
er six months of experience. He has
found it impossible, he declares, to
break up the price-fixing agreement
which destroys competition, and he
does not believe the city is justified in
furnishing building at cheap rental
in which farmers, gardeners and COM
mission merchants sell at the same
prices as the groceries.
The only possible justification for
the existence of a Market said the
marketmaster, "is to cut down the
high cost of living by making it possi-
BILE for the consumer to buy directly
from the producer. When the people
of Richmond bought the ground and
built market house, they were ex-
pecting that housewives would be en-
abled to purchase their supplies from
the farmers; if they didn't expect this,
! don't believe the city would ever in
vested in market house. One needs
only 20 visit the market house few
hours to learn that this original pur-
pose has been wholly defeated.
Only Seven Farmers.
"Of the twenty-nine persons stand
ing on market, only seven are farmers.
Thirteen of them are professional gar
deners who also sell to the groceries;
four are commission merchants, four
are peddlers and one is a grocer. These
get together each market day and fix
the prices at which they sell their
stuff. The price is always equal to and
often higher than that asked by the
retail grocers. The housewife does not
save anything by going to market, and
she even has to deliver her own
goods
An examination Of the market house
books reveals that financially the ad-
venture has been losing proposition
for several years, as the following fig
ures show:
1910, expenditures s1.042.65; receipts
$1,003.O0; deficit 1886. 1911, expendi-

EPIDEMIC THREATENS
F|RE-SWEPT SALEM
New Blaze Frightens Refu-
gees, But Fighters Prevent
Its Further Spread.

SALEM, Mass, June 27.-This fire
stricken city was startled afresh
when, within twenty-fOur hours after
the greatest cOnfla grafton in the his
tory of New England had been put un-
der control, three alarms were sound
ed for a new fire during the night,
which started on Derby wharf in the
lll-fated south section where Thurs
days big fire started.
Intense excitement prevailed and
great crowds of frenZied men and
women gathered as the warning fire
whistles sounded the triple alarm
Militiamen and police were taxed to
their utmost to preserve order as the
blaze OF the new fire lit up the skies.
Meanwhile the firemen battled sue
CeSsfuly with the flames.
A hurry call was sent for two addi-
tiOnal companies of the 9th regiment
militia-companieS B and |, of BOs-
ton-which We're both on the scene
early today to reinforce the militia
men already in Salem to guard against
the looting and disorder growing out
of the big fire.
Scarlet Fever Menaces.
To add to the discomfort of the
refugees today was the menace of
scarlet fever. Governor Walsh, ac-
companied by physicians, investigated
alarming reports of a scarlet fever
outbreak and found cases in camps
on Salem Common and High School
thill
The state police, assisted by Salem
detectives and the Metropolitan park
police, today began an inveStiga ton
as to the cause of the cOnflagra ton
which laid bare over third of the
city.
Thousands of dollars in checks and
pledges today poured into the office
of Gardner NJ Lane, treasurer of the
State Relief fund, and by nightfall it
was estimated more than 100000 will
have been raised for the relief of the
stricken city.
Plans for rebuilding the burned
area are very vague at this time but
it is believed following the adjustment
of insurance losses within a few days
rebuilding will be started.

Stranded Kitten
Finds Home

On a certain car on the East
haven line the other night nearly
every passenger that left the car
disregarded the "step lively" spirit
which usually markes the dis
charge of passengers.
And it was all because Of kit
ten, pretty little white and black
thing, comfortably curIed up and
sleeping in the corner of the vesti-
bule.
The kitten had been left In the
car earlier in the night-uninten-
tionally perhaps by child.
The conductor. took compassion
on it, made a newspaper bed for
it in the corner, and there it soon
feel asleep, unmindful of the noise
and jolting Of the car.
"if no one claims it," he said,
"I'iI take it home to the kids"
And you Immediately felt sure
that the kitten was going to find
good home.

ers, June 25. John B. Claflin, head of

the receivership had become necessary
because the expansion of the business
had occasioned capital requirements

millions of dollars in outstanding obli-
