TRIAL Of MIHT DIRECTOR ADAMSTO OCCUR I BLtt MOUNTAIN HOTEL t J. W. O BRYANT. Prop. White help only. Dining Roam Open, Meals 25c Rooms 25c and 60o. Special rates by week or' month. One block from depot X Cor. Jefferson Ave. and Depot St. i (Scrtppe Newe Association) Washington, Feh. 19. Director George E. Roberta of the United States Mint is preparing evidence for a most unusual criminal trial. Within a short time George E. Adams, until lately cashier at the Seattle assay office, will be brought to the bar for embezzling $40,000 or more from the bags of gold dust brought to the office by miners and concerns that deal in the yellow metal in the far north west Adams has confessed to -stealing $40,000 and the government officials be lieve they have proof that he took at least $160,000. He "salted away" hit ill got ten gains in good Seattle real estate, and the first thing that Director Roberts "will attempt to do will be to take this proper ty from Adams and convert it into a fund which shall be-set aside for the benefit of the miners who were robbed.. It will be tt muff .l W HHW U .U Adams' embezzlements, for ' he has re tained first class legal; talent to resist every move on the part of the government and it may be next to impossible to trace the flow of the stolen , dust Granting that most of the property purchased by Adams can be taken from him, the de frauded' miners will then have a hard nut to crack. ' Before they can get their money they will be expected to prove loss and it is safe to say that not one of the hundreds who were robbed can tell wheth er they were $ 1 "shy" or $100, on any single consignment of gold brought to the assay office. .".If we recover from Adams and have a fund to work with," said Director Rob erts, "we will make and estimate of the amounts stolen by the cashier and pay the miners in proportion to the gold they were credited with. The government is of course responsible for every cent of loss if it can be proven, whether we recover from'Adams or not and any miner who could produce proof that he was defraud ed could get It back. But the can have no proof whatever. Adams took . only gold from the vault; so we have one thing to work on the dust that went direct from the office to the melting room was . M fc- fore of such lots were certainly not robbed. In determining the amount of loss that each lot suffered through Adams' stealings we will have to go over the records and give the owner the benefit of the percentage of difference between the normal losses in melting and the loss es which resulted after Adams got busy with his system of substituting black sand for gold." JURY HAKES IIS A I REM T TO C R Advocates tfte Purchase of Rock (rusHers and Steel M . and ; Suggests tftit County Bocks He ; v . fxpertedJ . : - To the Hon'. Robert Eakin, Circuit Judge.!' ' ' .; ' ' ' Your grand Jury empanelled at this term of court beg to submit' their final report! ! "' .' - We have been in session-iit'all eleven days and have found and have ' returned into court nineteen true bills ' and three not true bills of indictment. We have examined into the several county offices and into the. condition of the county prison. We find the county offices neatly kept and the'sev'eral county offlcersand their force of deputies appar ently competent and attentive to their duties and all of them very accomodating. we have round it' impossible with our limited time and without the aid of ex pert accountants to determine whether or not the several county officers are keep ing correct accounts and are accounting properly for all money coming into, their hands, and we do not think any grand jury Is competent with the short time at their disposal and on ' account of their lack of familiarity with the routine' duties of the county officers to make a report in this respect that would be of any vajue to the citizens and taxpayers of the coun ty or that would be Just to the officers and we therefore refrain from reporting that we find these accounts in these' offices properly kept or all moneys pass ing through the same, properly accounted for. In this connection we desire to rec ommend to the county court of our coun ty, that for the proper protection of the citizen and taxpayers of the county, and for the protection, of the funds of the county, as well as the several county offi cer themselves that a competent expert accountant be employed every two year to expert and report the books and ' ac count of all county - officer - through offices the moneys of the county pass and in his report to make suggestions from time to time a he may deem necessary to fully guard and protect the interests of all concerned. - and we suggest In this connection that the proper time to have this accounting and experting done is on the' incoming of the new county officers every two years,, . ROAM AND BR1DOES Ve regard good county roads and dur able bridges as necessary to the prosper ity of our rapidly growing county.- The custom that has been followed in the past in most instances in our county, of gravel ing our county roads with wash gravel and soft shell rock that disintegrate and crumble down from the hillside and of building wooden bridge across the larger f streams, as poor makeshift 'and as a wast of the money of the , taxpayer. Our roads ought to be graveled with crushed rock and our larger streams bridged with steel bridges,' and in con nection w recommend hat the county court at an early date purchase and set up at eonvdnient points one or more rock crushers that hereafter' where ever poss ible that the future graveling of our roads be done with crushed rock'of a character that will form a lasting road bad. and that all bridges built by the county in the future forty feet or over in length, be con structed of steel. ' We make these reco mmendations in the interests of good roads and economy. - Some complaint has been made to us that in certain sections of our county slaughter houses and pens are being main tained in close proximity to the public roads and the offal therefore dumped into running streams in violation of the law, and while the evidence' brought before us was nbt sufficient to , warrant us in ' returning indictments against anyone therefore, the facts be- before us do warrant us in condemning such practices if they do exist and in re commending that the county court notify its road supervisor to call the attention of the district attorney to any and all infractions of the law of this kind and to prosecute the guilty parties thereof. uomplamt has also been made to us that certain drug stores in the corporate limits of certain municipalities in the county are selling intoxicating liquors to their customors in less ; quantities than one gallon without any prescription for medical use and as a beverage only, and without any city license therefor,. This is certainly in violation of the charters of such municipalities touching the revenues of such cities. And while we have no authority under the law to return indict ments for such acts, we desire by this means to call these matter to the atten tion of the proper city authorties and to insist that such action be taken by them to compel all persons selling intoxicating liquors in this manner to procure a city license therefor, and to pay the license therefor to the end that parties dealing in intoxicating liquors a a beverage will be under the restrictions of a license and amendable to the law for their conduct and that the cities will reap th revenues irom sucn iramc that the law contem plates they shall receive. We desire to commend your Honor for the manner m which the business of this ,term of court has been dispatched, to thank the district attorney Jor his readi ness to advise and assist us in our duties. nd ourWiff for the prompt manner in which he ha attended to all his duties. and now having completed our duties, we dosire to be discharged. .
