Some time age Miss Sale WIlliams oC Kansas City caused a sensation at thl Zion Uaptst church ( colored ) by presenting a young baby to the preacher , He\ H. T. Hoffman , decllng before the congregation that ho was the father of the child. The reverend gentleman smiled at the mater at first anti said that Is frst was an attempt on the part of his enemIes to ruIn his charac- ter. Subsequent developments , however , serve to strengthen MIss Williams' side of the case. Last Tuesday night the resignation of the pastor , which was to have been asked for had It not been forthcoming was handed In anti , unanimously accepted. The church also refused to grant a brotherly letter to the late pastor , as the members declared they could not recommend him to another con- ! regaton as a member of the church In good standing.

The facts are that bUn systematically cheated the city during nearly , If not quite , his whole perIod In oillce . The books show that the peculations were not confined to the last few months of his servIce , but were distributed through both of his terms lS city treasurer. Not only did ho appropriate the funds of the city , but ho converted to his own use Interest which has not been taken Into con- t'deraton : In figuring his shortage. According . cordIng to his own figures , hD has appropri- atod nearly $2,000 $ of the Interest which ac- crued on school funds durIng the pat two years. There were only two months during hIs whole service In whIch ho turned In to the ( Doard oC Education the full amount ot 2 per cent on al school funds which were dello led In the banks. lr2\lou9 to August , 1893 , Boln made no pretensions oC giving the school fund the benefit ot its share or the Interest accruing. Up to that date the school funds were de- posited In the banks and the 4 I per cent In- teresl went Into I3ohin's exchequer. Then The Bee caled attention to the law , which provided that ths treasurer must pay the Board ot Educaton 2 per cent on all school 10ney which was drawing Interest In the banks The law was plain all after some hesitation Doln was compelled to comply wih the demands ot the editor ot The Ilee . whIch were backed hy the general sentiment ot the taxpayers For just two months he compled with the law. Then ho gradually reduced the amount ot Interest he turned over. After a few months ho dIsgorged bout half ot the amounts duo the school fund and as the public gradually lost audit : ot the issue , he neglected to account for any Inter- est whate\er , all for the last eight months or his term oC service he dll not ! turn over one cent of the Interest which he drew on account of the school tund. WINKED AT ALL AROUND. The Bee has compiled a table which IndIcates - dIcates the exact amounts out oC which Balm defraudeti the school fund each month durIng - Ing his term oC 0111cc. The fut tme that the treasurer ever paId any Interest on school moneys was at the end ot August. 1893. when ho turned over the full amount. The deposits In the banks or school money that monlh amcunted to $204.337.86. Doln tUrned over 2 per cent on that amount . or $311.66. The next month he followed the same policy anti turned over $351.66 , which lacked only $9,08 oC being the proper amount. No one noticed notced the discrepancy and this encouraged DoHn to press the lImit a trifle , with the result that his October Interest was more than $50 short. Ther his progress was rapId. In November ho was nearly $100 short and In December he nlglecte < 10 turn over any interest - terest money at aH , although $189.77 was (1 tie. due.With With the new year ho turned over a new lear , and , although he failed to render any accounting for February accountnJ interest ho turned In a slIght surplus In january Anrl turnel , lay , by which his total shortag during ; ' ' the ; five month was retluceti to something less than $10. With the end of May , 1891 , however , he threw caution to the winds anti hiehil out $3G oC thin $185.G7 In Interest which hell due I was the same story In July and then he evidently became hard up , for he Imocled down $100 ot the ' school boa rIs mone . In September and October he turned In about one-third oC the Interest 'hen ho apparently apparenty thought he might as well be hung for a sheep as : lamb , for he quit paying any Interest al all. al. DurIng the eight months that Intervened before hIs final downfall fnal monthly payments oC Interest were due . ranging - ing from $63 to UG8. but not a doHar till Boln account for. But his failure to die- gorge aroused no criticism . 'ColptroHer Olson cheeke.l up the treasurer's reports every month but he was discreetly silent discreety sient as to any Inconsistencies and membcrs oC \he Board of Education simply took whatever Doln offered them without remonstrance.
