(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."

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. .
