ILLEGAL EXPENDITURES
ALLOWED BY ACT OF GRACE
Controller Downey Rules in Behalf
of National Training School
Oficial.

An act of grace" invited by Samuel
W. Curriden, treasurer of the National
Training School for Boys, and govern
ment disbursing officer in that capacity,
permits allowance of two expenditures
made by him not in accordance with the
method prescribed by law and regulation,
according to a decision of George Dow
ney. controller of the Treasury.
No loss to the government or individual
is involved in, the transaction, 1t is de-
clared merely an unintentional departure
from the method prescribed. Treasurer
Curriden is advised that his practice was
not in accord with the law. and that he
would be expected to govern himself ac-
cordingly.
Two wooden automobile robes, bought
at an expenditure of $3.50. and $12.88
paid to the government printing office
h for printing annual reports of the trus-
tees, were the two items questioned and
disallowed by the accounting officers.
Mr.. Curriden represented that the robes
were for general use, and not an lndi-
v.dual equipment. In the matter of pay
nient to the public printer, he stated that
he did not understand his institution as
being governed by the law covering the
relations between departments and bu-
reaus of the government, requiring pur-
chases from one to the other to be eff
fected and settled by transfer of the
account through the accounting officer.
AS the money involved had been COW
cred into the United States Treasury,
Controller Downey conceded the act of
grace asked for in the specific case,
authorizing allowance of the items.

Aggregate Net Earnings Of SIS, 0OO,-
600 Shown During First
Ten Years.

Perhaps the most profitable investment
the United States government ever made
was IN the purchase of the Panama rail-
road When it acquired the property of
the New French Canal Company, it al
lowed that corporation s7,OO0.O0O for the
Panama railroad. which at that time
was described in two ways: One descrip-
ton said that it was a railway connec-
ton between the cities of Colon and
Panama connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans: the other description said
that the road was two streaks of rust
and a right of way
Whatever its condition then, in the
first ten years the United States govern
ment has owned it, it has produced an
aggregate profit of $15,0jO000, or more
than twice its purchase price

OLD HOLSTER IS DISCARDED.
Used About City by U. S. Army En-
gineers for Many Years.

An old holster which had been used
tor many wears by the United States
Army engineers in their work about this
city has been thrown into the discard by
the army authorities and has been
taken from the engineer service
depot, on Potomac Park, at the
western end of the harbor to the East
ern branch and placed ON the mud near
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge. TO re-
main. 1t was thought by the engineer
authorities that the holster could be re-
built, but when an examination of her
hull was made il was found to be in such
bad shape to make the building of
new hull matter of economy. Before
being taken to the Eastern branch the
derrick and hosting machinery We're
taken ashore and will be used on new
hull to be built in the spring.

CLARKE NOT ASHORE.
Schooner Believed to Have Proceeded
to Rappahannock.

While NJ. c. Clarke and E. NJ. Hall,
owners of the schooner Elizabeth Clarke,
have heard nothing from the master
of the schooner since he reported his
vessel ashore in Mattox creek the Of
ficers Of the steamer Trenton, which
makes trips into that waterway, state
that on their last trip there, in the
middle of last week, they saw no yes
sci ashore. 1t is thought that the crew
of the Clarke have succeeded in get
ing her afloat, and without waiting to
report the fact to her owners here. have
started for Rappahannoch river to load
lumber for Baltimore
The last report received from the old
schooner Orbit, which went ashore near
Maryland point a week ago, was TO the
effect that she was still hard and fast
aground, and IL looked as if she would
remain there. Since the vessel went on
the shore there have been a number of
high tides ON which it was thought that
she might be gotten Off but il appears
all efforts TO float her have been so far
unsuccessful.
