SECRETARY HODGES
 IS tXONERATED
ACCOUNT FOUND CORRECT
AUDIT MADE BY GEORGE THORNBURGH CRITICISES
 ANTIQUATED SYSTEM.

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-All accounts in the office of Secretary of State F.. w. Hodges were found to be correct, according to the report of the ac- countants who audited the office un- der the direction of George Thorn burgh of Little Rock. The report shows that fees amounting to $4S2 charged to the office has not been paid to the state treasurer, and that Mir. Hodges holds treasurer's receipts for $21.65 more than was credited to him on the treasurer's books.
 Mir. Hodges explained the S482 fees not collected by saying they were on accounts where attorneys had tele- phoned the office for commissions, filing of records and other documents and then failed to remit. He said this practice has been discontinued and that he is collecting the outstanding accounts as fast as possible. If they are not paid in a reasonable time he will personally pay them to the treas urer, he said. The report criticises the system of bookkeeping in the office and in all other states offices audited
 The audit was made by Pike, Crof- ton & Co., of Memphis, and the two accountants detailed to do the work, l. H. Beebe and c. A. Russell, were employed by the legislative commit tee which investigated other state of i fees. When I. F. Thomas, another accountant employed by the commit tee, made affidavit that the commit 1 tee intended to make an adverse re- port on his office regardless of the conditions found, MT. Hodges declin- i ed to allow the committee 1o continue l it's audit. He then appointed MT. Thornburgh to conduct the audit. The audit, which required approxi- mately 40 days, cost, MT. Hodges said, $900.
 MT. Thornburgh, in a report ac- companying the accountants report, told the circumstances under which he had been asked to conduct the audit He said he at first declined, but later agreed when MT. Hodges in- sisted that he wanted man entirely out of politics and without political prejudices to conduct the audit. He said the accountants formerly employ ed by the legislative committee were employed by him with MT. Hodges consent.
 q think I am justified in saying that this report is indeed creditable to MT. Hodges" MT. Thornburgh's statement said. Ut covers a period of four and one-half years and an amount of more than $200,000 collect ed, all of which is accounted for, and, according to Mr. Hodges receipts, S21.65 overpaid."
