PIatt Denies Salaries Caused
FaiIure-WiII Bare Audi
tors Report.
IN emphatic denial that an &C

An emphatic denial that an &C
counting Of the disbursements OF
the defunct Treasury Cooperative
Store was being withheld, and that
large salaries were paid to its man
ayers. which was largely RESPONSE
BILE for its failure, was made today
by w. G.. Plat, chief clerk Of the
Treasury Department, and a member
of the executive committee Of the
store.
BLAMEs BAD JUDGMENT.
Expert accountants are now an
alyzing the daily transactions OF the
store from the date 1t opened to the
date 1t closed, and as soon as the
analysis Is completed II will be open
to inspection by every officer and en-
ploye of the Treasury Department"
Mr.. Plat declared.
THE investigation thus far has not
disclosed any dishonesty. but there Is
every indication of bad judgment dis
played in making purchases, and OF
marked inefficiency and laxity In keep
ing the books. At this time these two
factors appear to be the principal
causes of failure. When the work of
the accounts is completed. their report
aid tabulation will be open to inspec-
ton.
The report is expected to be com
pleted within two weeks, 1t was
stated today. Every bill. invoice,
voucher and check is being care
fully scrutinized and every effort Is
being made to ascertain when and
how the money was lost and the
responsibility for 1t. This report
will be based on the original papers
and not on the books as kept by the
store. The work has already been
completed to March 80. 1920, on
which date 1t is shown that the liza
bilities exceed the assets by 36.565.94.
In arriving at these figures, the ac-
countants were compelled to accept
the inventory of $20.5s017 as report
ed on that date.
THINKS SALARIES MODERATE.
The salaries paid to the store
into consideration the amount Of
business that was being DONE" said
one of the store officials today.
when the store was opened with
John ]. McGrath as it's manager. he
was paid only a salary of $4,000 a
year, while his son, who managed
the store at the War Risk Bureau
which Is almost as large, was paid
only $4,000. When Mr.. McGrath re-
signed in June from the store in the
Treasury Department his successor
was paid at the rate Of $4,000 a
year."
Taking into consideration that the
store was doing a business of about
100000 a month, / do not think that
Mr.. McGrath's salary was any too
large" said Mr.. Plat today. THE rea-
son the store failed was due to poor
judgment in making purchases of
large amounts of goods at top prices,
and then selling them at a loss. This
together with inefhciency and laxity
in keeping the books, caused to store
to fail"
Store officials today declared that
the response to their appeal to Treas
uary employees to contribute enough
money to pay the outstanding debts
of the store had been very good.
"The response has been splendid
and we now have almost enough to
meet all our outstanding debts" one
of them said.

Boiling Field, complained that he was
held up by an armed negro last mid

Howard and Sumner roads and was
robbed OF $1S. The presence of sew
eral other soldiers who were on their
way to camp did not deter the bandit.
