Other than to say that be is confldent that it will be found in good shape. Colonel McDonell would not dls i cuss the matter today. From other Source, however, the Information comes .'that the work done so far on the ao- 'count shows it to be correctly kept -I Captain Smith of company E, the ranking officer of the regimental board, now checking the accounts, stated this - morning that as far as the board had .. gone the account was In good shape and that he was confident no fault would be found with It when finally completed. The rumors of a probable shortage In the accounts of ' Colonel McDonell, therefore, seem to be baseless and were .-started because' of the fact that an ac counting had been called for by Adju- tant General Finser. . . Boms . Loose Bookkeeping. .... The fact of the matter seems to be that Colonel jucuoneu naa ween es ligent In the matter of keeping his books. The last official accounting made to General Finaer was made to ?over the quarter ending with the month of September. Thls left the last quarter or 1U8 ana me iirsv iwu quar : ' ters of 1909 to be accounted for.- Owing t;to the announcement made by Colonel i McDonell that he Intended to resign, General Finaer called for 'an account ' ' ing In order to make this resignation .'possible, since It was necessary that all -- of the colonel's accounts should be j. closed and the balances, if any, turned ' '. over to his successor. - ti Oeneral Finzer. according to many. Is .as much to blame for the condition of ' things as is Colonel McDonell. As the ' commanding officer of the National , Guard it was and is his duty to have all accounts with the state closed at 'Uhe end of each quarter. This he failed ? j to do, though he did call for the ac ,. counts, being told by McDonell that Uthey would tie turned In as soon as ?; possible. When more time passed and Jthe accounts were not made out he did 'not insist that the work be done, as It ! required by the rules of the National - Guard. - '- ' , " -. ' ? - Xfo Basis for Chsjrjv, "'liJA i The whole tangle, therefore, is a re- suit of loose bookkeening. There can be no basis for a charge' of shortage against Colonel McDonell until arter ; : he has made out his reports and sub- Emitted- them. He has kept; all funds :j Intrusted to mm m -nis own account in :s the bank. If. after he renders his ac- I. tne balances rouna rrom nis dooks, tnen a shortage could be charged aeainst him.

In the party were Governor van Santa wire, judge u. vv. couina, paat department commander of Minne sota, Judge Ell Torrance, past com mander In chief, 8. F. Franklin and C. A- Warren of Minneapolis. An informal reoention was held In Commander Van Sant's honor in the parlors of the Hotel Portland tills morning, Major James P.. Bhaw, de partment commander for the department of Oregon, heading the welcoming com mittee. : ' ". Members of tne party -win go on to Seattle , tonight, but ' before ihey go Sumner Dost will irlve them an old fashioned campfire meeting at the cor ner of Grand avenue and K&st Morrison street It la proposed to make th campfire one of the most notable fea tures of the Orand Army celebration ever held in Portland, both in point of elaborate preparation and' in numuer 01 veterans present ; . j For the next- year Commander Van Bant . purposes a vigorous campaign among tha (i. A. H costs or the nation. This for the purpose, he said this morn ing, or . bringing - into tne raemoersmp every veteran not now a member, and for the sake of uniting the entire mew bershln in nlans for future Work. "I have, commenced my -work In Portland,", the new commander-4n chief said this morning- "My health II splendid. I never appreciated any honor tendered me more man tne one given me bv mv comrades at Rait Lake City." Commander Van Bant ha been twice governor of Minnesota and once speaker or the house 01 delegates. . ne is SUU prominent in Minnesota politics. Judge Ell Torrance was the man whe backed Governor Van Sant's campaign for commander id chief. Judge Tor rance spoke with pride of the fact that Minnesota has thrice carried away the honor, "In our state we do things," he said. We get what w go after. That is th reason why wo have secured the honor thro times with a membership of only 8000. Our lajst campaign was vig orously opposed by former attorney gen eral, W. A. Ketoham, of Indiana. Gen eral Kotcham declared he did not know ho wwe managed to secure tha election with such an overwhelming majority, out we went anout it esyiy and worked lata, and w had about the fittest man for the place In the nation, too." Major Shaw related to his comrades this morning a rather amusing story of his experience with a considerate Pull man burglar while on his - way back home. At Ogden we stopped to replenish the gas tank," he said. "While standing In the yards, someone came along, dexter ously reached through the window, took from my pockets more than 170 and my card case, then neatly rolled up the trousers and put them back in place. "While I am aware that most burg lars would have kept the trousers - and put me in a terribly embarrassing posi tion, this on was more considerate, and 1 annreciat nia consideration so mucn that I will be willing to overlook the fact that he left me only a dim and three copper cents if he will return the card case, which contained some ad dresses of srreat value to me.
