JUNKET FUND HELD
ILLEGAL PROCEDURE
OF Officials to Conventions De-
clared Violation of Law.

Three State departments have been
notified by the office OF the Attorney
General that the State Board OF Ac-
countants viii be advised to take up
the question of sending heads Of
various departments to distant conven-
lions a. the expense of the State.
These funds, known as 'junkets." are
said TO be illegal and it is further
said that the State may proceed
against departments having made
such expenditures with a view to re-
covering same.
In one department. It Is said. travel
ing insurance and laundry bills were
charged TO the department. State Ac-
countant Frank Smith yesterday noti-
fed one head Of department that II
he attended certain convention at
the expense of the State he would be
proceeded against.
The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral on the subject Is as follows:
1T is difficult. II not impossible, to
state in general terms what might
properly be considered contingent
and other expenses of department.
Each specific case must be taken up
on its merits and the nature OF the
proposed expenditure examined IN
order to ascertain it's Relationship 10
the work OF the department. 1t Is
doubtless true that officers and en-
ployes OF this department could gather
| much valuable information concern
| ing the work committed to their care
by attending conventions and confer
ring with those who are engaged In
tho same work In this and other States
| and countries. yet am constrained to
| believe that an extremely dangerous
precedent would be esta blished II de-
partments should. without express
| legislative authority. pay the expenses
of their officers and employees to such
conventions The benefit to accrue
from such attendance is too uncer-
tain and the custom OF attending such
conventions at public expense (said
to prevail in some parts of the coun-
try) is too new, and the privilege too
liable to abuse, to justify the assump-
| ton that the General bly,
meant to include such expenses with
In tn language contingent and other
expenses While am well aware that
occasion might arise where the State
would derive great bencfit from the

conventions. yet It Is question of
legislative policy which should be ex-

/ or by some official or board plainly au-
tthorized so to do by legislative act"

SURPRISED Dinner Party.

In recently published boow Sir
Henry Lucy has a charming story of
the late Canon Anger. The canon
was very fond Of children, and set out
one night to attend party given by
children for children"
Don't announce me-" he said to the
servant.
Leaving his coat and hat downstairs,
he quietly opened the drawfng-room
door, where the buzz of voices an
nounced the presence Of company.
Dropping on his hands and knees he
entered, making strange noises distinct
ly resembling the neighing of horse.
Aware of a dead silence, he looked up,
and found the guests assembled for an
eight-o'clock dinner regarding him
with disgust not unmixed with alarm.
The children's party was next door.
