Colonel Jackson this morning said that
he was sure that the accounts would

trusted to the custody of Colonel Me
Donell is the regimental f undV This
fund has not been checked, but Colonel
-McDonell Is now at work on it and will
in all probability finish his work to-morrow.
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

I. tne balances rouna rrom nis dooks, tnen
a shortage could be charged aeainst
him. If he turns . In his account and

J! check of the accounts show them t be
correct, then no . shortage . could be
charged, and that seems to be the thing
that Is golns: to happen.

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.
