Smith as deputy in the department..

duties in handling the army and navy

Let me suggest at this time to DR..
Day If he knows Of any Irregularities
or any subordinates under him while
he was Commissioner of Markets, it ia
his duty to acquaint the District Attor-
ney or the grand jury of such irregu-
larlties, step l had previously sug-
gested to him in letter bearing date
OF December /, which he failed to make
public
Commissioner OMalley wrote to
Mayor Hylan yesterday in refutation
Of Dr. Days charges of attempted mis-
appropriation of the surplus money.
He inclosed two letters, one from him
self, dated October Is, to Secretary of
War Baker, asking for suggestions on
the disbursement of the surplus money,
Ind another from Major Genera
George w. Burr, assistant chief Of
staff and director of purchase, stor-
age and traffic. saying that the money
should be disposed of according to the
Deputy commissioners own judgment.
General Rogers Reply Quoted
Mr.. O'Malley's letter to the Mayor
said, in part:
From he statement contained in
the last paragraph (of General Rogers
reply) you will see that the War De-
partment is only concerned in being
paid for tho goods that were consigned
at the prices fixed by the government
hot
disposed of in accordance with the
policy outlined in the letter, which is
as follows:
"'The interest of the War Department
was most concerned in seeing that the
stores were distributed to the con-
sumer at the smallest possible cost, and
any fund which may have accumulated

cover freight or other necessary ex-

IN such manner that it will inure to
the benefit of purchasers of such stores.
The pecuniary interest of the War De-
partment ceased upon the payment Of
she prices fixed by the government.
The surplus funds in your hands
should, therefore, be disposed of ac-
cording to your Judgment, along the
lines and IN accordance with the policy
above outlined

and send the inclosed letters for the
purpose of showing you how | put my
self on record at the very time it was
realized that surplus would exist
after the payment os .he army bills.
Both Deputy commissioner Smith
and myself were bonded in the sum Of
100000 each, and no funds could be
withdrawn except upon our joint sig
natures.
''As you will remember, l also wrote

as to how the surplus moneys should
be used, / will turn over all surplus
funds existing, after the payment Of

the City of New York.
Il might also add that since DR..
DaV has made statements to the pres :
to the effect that Deputy Commissioner
Smith submitted certain proposals to
him, in which my name was connected,
that no such proposition was ever made
by me to Commissioner Smith, nor do I
believe that Commissioner Smith sub
mitted any improper proposal to Dir.

connection with my name. This,
think, is quite conclusively proved from
