AUDIT REVEALS
SHIPPING GRAF I
VAST IRREGULARITIES SHOWN
BY PROBE OF AFFAIRS OF
U. S. BOARD.
ACCOUNTANTS WORK STOPPED
WHEN MORE EVIDENCE
is PRoFFERED.

q. i. 3 VI. . =
Charles M. Schwab, moved to the
point of tears, furnished a dramatic
moment at the hearings Of the Walsh
committee investigating shipping board
accounts for the senate
The committee made haste to as
sure the much-moved steel baron that
it had great confidence in his personal
integrity. The conservative press con
tinued the whitewash.
Big Graft Revealed.
Accountants who were working on
the books had testified that voucher
for $269,543.53, representing money
taken from the government shipping
board for Schwab's personal expenses
in October 1913, had been found. At
least 100000 Of this sum had been
credited to different departments of
the Bethlehem Steel company. ,Schwab
at that time was working on the ship
ping board supposedly at 81 year.
Voucher as Evidence.
Perley Morse of Perley Morse &
Co., public accountants of national
reputation, fatty denied Schwab's
statement that there was no such
voucher.
All | can say said Morse s.is
that the voucher was there and it ap-
peared in the book The voucher was
seen by our accountants who had it in
their hands,"
Audit Is Stopped.
The accountants offered more com
promising testimony to the effect that
as soon as this voucher had been
located, they were forcibly excluded
from their work, Pressure was sue
cessfully brought to have the audit
discontinued on the ground that it
was wasting public money. The
Schwab voucher disappeared
Refuse Quiz, of Books. +.
Then fearing lest abrupt discon-
tlnuance of the audit could not be
successfully explained, Judge Payne,
present head of the shipping board,
told the auditors, to proceed again
with the work but not to inquire into
overhead expenses. The Bethlehem
Steel company again refused to give
the auditors access to the books.
Millions Involved.
Auditors testified before the Walsh
committee to finding irregularities
OF far greater size than that represented
by the Schwab voucher, and expressed
the belief that between 500, OOO, 900
and $500,0OO,000 Of irregular pay
ments to shipbuilding firms could be
recovered by the government.
There is danger that the aSchwab
voucher and the Schwab tears will
be used as red herring to cover up
this trail of huge graft. The clever
politicians fear the social effect of the
possible revelations of this graft by
the captains of industry much more
than they want to recover the money
for the government

r. III. Krook, cashier Of the Citizens

front room in the second story Of the
building while walking along German
street on his way to the M. & st. i.
depot. He noticed it from the cross
ing, at German and First South street,
and from the peculiar red glare became
convinced that it was. not, an electric
light. Upon closer investigation he
found the building afame and turned

The articles were carried into the New

adjusted at. $1,400, which just about
covers the damage.
Household Goods Total Loss.
Mr.. Schobert was not so fortunate,
however, as regards his household
goods which were totally ruined by
fire, water and smoke. These furnish
ings were insured for only $500, while
their value was practically double that
amount
Building Was Insured.
Mrs. Caroline Frenzel, owner of the
building, carried $1,000 insurance on
it. An adjuster came to New Ulm,
Monday, and the damage was fixed at
81, ,564. so, which. is the amount 81 the
settlement. Mrs. Frenzel has decided
to have the necessary repairs made
50 that the building can again be oc-
cupied by her tenant. The work Of
repairing the damage will be started
as soon as weather conditions permit.
Finds Temporary Location.
In the meantime the Schobert cigar
factory will be located in the vacant
room at the reariof the Brown County
Bank. The undamaged stock and
supplies were moved there lthefore part
of this week and the manufacture of
smokes was resumed this morning.

Coach Leahey replaced Cyran and Aug
,st with McGarghan and 0'Leary, and
johnson and Finn with Belville and
Bowers, but Proctor was still unable
to show up to any advantage. George,
for Proctor, was the sole scorer OF the
New Hampshire team in this period,
when, we'll along into the period, he
succeeded in shooting one foul, his
teams sole tally of the period. 1t

The period ended with Goddard "a,

The second period ended with God
dard's first team once more in action.
At times nearly the whole Goddard
team retired to the opposite end OF
the floor from their basket, and played
a little game of toss and catch while
their opponents stood by and looked
on. In this half, Romaro, who had re-
placed Bower at center in the early
part of the game, managed to secure
/ two short shots and thereby score the
only baskets made from the floor by
the Proctor team. George added two
more points from the foul line. Dur
ing this period Referee Kelley became
more strict with respect to unneces-
sary roughness, and double personal
fouls were frequent. Neither foul shoot

Notes on the Game.
Just before the game opened referee
Kelley announced that William 0'Leary
of Holyckc. Mass, had been selected
captain Of the Goddard 1922 basketball
team. "Bill" is a junior at the semi
nary this year and. although he has
not held down a regular berth on the
basketball team this year he has been
a valuable asset in the utility line, and
also in such games as those with
Spaulding In the last game with
spauldng, 0Ieary was one Of the
Goddard stars. Besides being somewhat
of an athlete, "Bill'' is popular boy
at the seminary,
Before the first half and between the
halves of the big game the Goddard
freshmen scored a victory over the
freshmen independents from Spaulding
by the score of II TO Q. The first half
was all Goddard's, ending 10 to in
their favor The independents played a
stronger game the second half, but
we're unable to make themselves any
whore near dangerous.
Between recording the fast mount
ing Goddard tallies, and getting the
names of new players entering the
game, along with a few re arrange
uents Of the teams already on the
floor, one might come to the conclusion
that the scorers had their hands full.
