Find Another
Large Shortage

The startling disclosure was
made that the shortage i'm the
tate treasury was increased Sl7-
l72.S2 through the discovery ON
The books of the Juggling of cou-
pom bond payments. This dis
closure is the result of an inves-
tigation of the transactions of O.
v. Allen, defaulting self-confess-
ed treasurer now serving a term
i'm the state penitentiary and his
partner i'm crime, Fred Nj. Cole
man, a self-confessed embezzler
while deputy state treasurer also
in the states penal institution,
made by James S. Bogart, who has
)een commissioned through an
agreement reached between Gov
ernOr Alexander and Attorney
General Peterson, to investigate
all transactions of the defaulting
officials while they were connect
ed with the department, TO deter
mine definitely just what the
total shortage is. This is nee
essary before the state can take
steps to collect and recover under
Aliens and Colemans respective
bonds.
After a 40 days examination of
the state treasury Axel p. Ram
stedt, president of the public
utilities commission, authorized
by Governor Haines, then chief
executive, disclosed a shortage Of
S93,li2.O3. It was admitted at
the time this was probably not
the total shortage. II was also
announced at the time the defal-
cation was discovered that the
shortage if traced down would be
over 100000. The investiga-
ton that is now being conducted
by Mr.. Bogart indicates this will
be the case. III has but started
ON his examination, and the first
item he found showed the alleged
theft of over $4,000 which add
ed to the shortage heretofore dis
covered brings the total to over
100000. Probably one Of the
more interesting features OF the
discovery is that the Si7,i72.82
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1915-07-13

steal was made in July, 1913,
while the shortage found by the
other experts was confined TO
1914 or from January of that year
up and until July a..
The si7,i72.82 shortage came
To- light when the ledger was ex-
amined. Heretofore the cash
book which Coleman is said never
to have allowed anyone else TO
work on besides himself or Al
len, was accepted and the short
ages discovered from that. Mr..
Bogart went back to 1913. for
start for his examination. He
found there an item of s8986.OS
as having been entered as money
paid out Of the general interest
and sinking fund at the end Of
the month TO meet bond coupons
as they had been paid. The cash
book covering the same transact
ton showed an entry Of $780,
'O58.9O as having been paid out TO
meet the coupons. The differ
ence in these two items, or ST.
1882, is the amount that was
scaled and pocketed by the de-
faulters. Il is but one of sever
al items the examiner will un-
cover as the examination contin-
ues, it is said.
II has also come to light that
Allen pockeled considerable pin
money" i'm small interest items
he collected by holding warrants
until the end of the month. As
these warrants were presented
early i'm the month he would pay
them together with the accumu-
lated interest they called for
from the fund they were drawn
ON providing there was money
sufficient i'm the respective funds
TO meet them. He would then
hold the warrants until the end
of the month when he would turn
them in and clear them through
the Office but before doing so ne
collected the interest they called
for from the date of their presen-
tation TO the end of the month
they were paid i'm. I'm this way
me made il appear that the war
rants had come i'm at the end of
the month and the total amount
of interest they called for togeth-
err with the principal was paid out
of the fund ON which they were
drawn, when i'm reality he scaled
the interest and pocketed it.
IL is said that many other
means were used to unlawfully
embezzle stale money and that a
great many bond issues were
ljuggled. The state now pro-
poses TO determine definitely just
what the total shortage is and
when this fact is established by
Mr.. Bogart the proper steps will
be taken to recover from the en-
hezzlers' bondsmen.

Read Should
Be Repaired

w. G.. Treffery of the Benewah
valley was in Plummer Tuesday.
He states that there is a few rods
of road which belongs to the
Plummer Highway district in the
valley that sorely needs repair so
as to make travel possible. This
matter should be looked after at
once by the road boss in charge
of that section of the road. He
further states that there is about
two miles of road under the coun-
ty charge that would cost about
$3.50 to fix SO that an auto could
pass over. If these two roads
were fixed up it would give Plum
mer a better trade and make a
cut off of about 20 miles travel in
coming from st. Maries to the
west.-Plummer Reporter.
