r to th charge mad by J. M. Gil
Mi 1st, expert Accountant, who. In a report
ubltshed Monday, declared the compte

i-rfjlieck referred to the fact that last Jan
uary a representative cl the American

Mr. Lobeck brought Into - question Gil
chrlwrs reliability In the matter and In
vited the council and taxpayers to Investi
gate the oflice for themselves before pass
ing Judgment on the report of Mr. Gil
christ. Mr. Leobock's communication wa.
referred to tin committee on finance and

Mr. l,obeck answer follows:

"ttom years aaj, after in unfortunate
condition of ahaira bad been discovered
in the city tieasurer' office, a very rxcel

in connection wltn the treasurer a otnet.
1 rigid to say, however, tlidt Innoiar
us tne comptroller's ottlc In concerned,
thst system nan practically ccused to txisi
and II tnc accounts of t,ie treasurer arc
found to be coirect, it is because of th;
honesty and carvtu.nc.as of the treaurr
and his employes and not because ot the
farcical auditing ot accounts as now cm

The latter po.tlun ot tnis slutemetit Is
no palpaoly faise that It requires only tho

that the "very excellent system of ac

with the treasurer's oltiv is now In use

Mr. Gilchrist lays great, stress upon th

FIRE PROVES TO BE MYSTERY

Anolher mystery which is bothering Br
and police circles is th origin of the fir
that threatened to destroy the building of
the Crelghton Medical college on Four
teen and Davenport. Fire was noticed by
an outelder In the northeast room of th
building on the lower floor about 2:) Wed
nesday morning. The fir department
rebponded promptly and kept the fire con
fined to that room by the assistance of
the brick walls, which surrounded' the
room on four sides. The damage Is esti
mated at Sl.friO. fully insured. ,
Neither the faculty nor the fire depart
men has any Idea of the cause of the lire.
The room wus used us a clinic room und

work of my nthco on th system In uss
and reported that It was up to date ana ot

aa being posslMe. and as having luppened
la Lancaster county and Chicago, could
not occur under the system In ute and as
used by my office, as he well knows, and
whv he should make a atatement so tnls
- leading I am at a loss to understand. j
This expert says: "The tax ledgers In I
the comptroller's office ore absolutely In- ;
correct and practically useless and only
tit for the Junk pile."
Mr. Gilchrist evidently did not so con
sider them from the dependence placed'
the college said
"No electric lights in that room nor
light wires. The gus was not burning, for
I went the rounds myself the last thing be-
I fore I went home. The windows were all
fastened and although all the window
Unfits are broken out, you can see - th
fastener are nil locked. I examined this
room In particular Just before going home."
Everything in tho room was burned, the
chair, tables and stalls and the rafters
on the celling, although the fire did not
brfak through to the room above. The
floor In the northeast corner of the room
was burned through and the embers fell
through Into the basement, where a small
amount nf coal waa stored. The brick
walla which surrounded the room wu
evidently all that stopped a most serious
fire.

by -the city treasurer and are made up by
my office force from the dally vouchers
furnished by the city treasurer. These
vouchers are the dupllcatea of each tax
and other recelpta Issued by the treasurer
for any purpose a well aa warrants held
by him. In fact, we have a complete and
accurate, check of saehJ day's business of
the city treasurer. 1 have dupllcatea of

From these the comptroller's record Is
made and so far the treaaurer's books and
accounts have always agreed with those In
my office. H also furnishes a monthly
sumtnaiy that must agree. Comparisons
are frequently made and the atatement
that nearly a year haa elapsed since any
comparison haa bsen made Is not true.
Aa to the operations of the acivenger
art and the taxes cancelled und. r It, this
expert shows either a lamentable Ignor
ance of its operations or grossly misrepre
sents. The statement Is made that "no
effort has been made by the comptroller
to determine whether the calculations mads
by the county treasurer's clerks are cor
rect." This expert perhaps haa not learned thai
frequent reports are made to this oftic
upon collections under this art by the
county treasurer, who Is ex-olfH'lo clerk
of th district court, that the collections of
taxes under the scavenger act are a result
of a Judgment obtained by the city legal
department agatnat certain lands and lots
for delinquent taxes, that the difference

and the tidal amount of the rbllgationa

ehrlst well knows.
Under the last section of his report Is
the following:
"There are numerous rases -vher the
comptroller has ordered Internet on taxes

If Mr. Gilchrist doe not know lie ought

The Walnut Hill Pharmacy occupies the

Fortieth and Cuming, owned by lr. 8. D.

offlce. 'I lils drug store Is owned by V, 15.
Grisinger and Dr. F. A. Nelson. They
take turn about sleeping In the stor.
Tuesday night it was Grisinger turn.
When the robbers reached the scene of
their crime they took the- precaution to
fasten the front and rear doors of the drug
tore with rope they cut from th awning,
so neither door could be opened from the
Inside. Grisinger was aroused by the ex
plosion, and Immediately ran to hia doors,
finding himself locked In. He then tele
phoned to tho police, this being their first
tip on the crime.
Front Door Pried Opes.
The front door to the postoftlce nad
been pried open with a "Jimmy" and th
rear door had been broken open with a
small hand axe which had evidently been
stolen from an Ice wagon. After making
their entrance auccessfully tho roboera
filled the cracks In the door of the af
with nitroglycerin. The explosion blew
the door of the afe to pieces, some of
w hich were found lodged In the cj!llng of
the room, and also blew a large hole In
the floor directly beneath the safe.
It Is evident the robbers feared the
noise Of the explosion would attract th
attention of cltlxens residing psarby.aa
they left their work uncompleted, not at
tempting to, open the door of the strong
box within the safe, so all their efforts
went for nothing. The postmaster In
charge of the substation, Harvie Morse,
aaid nothing was taken from the post
office, but there would have been a con
siderable loss If the robbers had suc
ceeded in obtaining possession of the
strong box, which was left untouched.
The police believe the attempted robbery
was committed by the same person who
successfully Opened the safe at Benson
about ten days ago.
Explosion of Great Korea.
"The explosion seemed of such fore
that It Is a wonder to me It did not blow
down the wall against which I had my
head resting." said Mr. Grisinger, the
druggist. "As soon a I waa awakened I
tried to get out, but both doors of my
store had been securely tied by the rob
bers with heavy rope. Fortunately th
telephone wires had not been cut and I
telephoned for the police, who released
m."
Both the city police and th government
pcetofftce Inapectora were on the seen of
the attempted safe burglary early Wednes

vai commended for hi action In using
stringent measures to keep the recent out
break of diphtheria wall in hand. Th at
tendance was large and the diphtheria sit
uation was one of the matters discussed.
Tt was explained there la no occasion for
alarm over the diphtheria question, but In
view of cases breaking out In different
parts of the city at an unusually early
period of the season it was deemed wise to
use the proverbial ounce of prevention be
fore the pound of cure became necessary.
Dr. Connell hsa asked the hearty support
of the physicians by sending complete facts
of the case when offering cultures for ex
amination, so the health iepartment may
los no time in taking necessary step when
the occasion requires It. The health com
missioner is working with the schools In
this matter by supplying the superintend
ent with the names of children who may
have become exposed to a case, such chil
dren to be kept apart from companions for

T. F. Bturgess, who resides at 811 North
Thirty-ninth street, which Is almost du
east one block from the poetofilce station,
heard the report of the explosion and
saw the three culprits, or at least saw
three men whom he has every reason to
believe were the three that committed th
crime.
Stnrgrss Tells What Ha, Saw.
"It must have been about 3:110 when I
was awakened by what I supposed waa a
pistol shot," said Mr. Bturgess. "I oc
cupy a west room In my house, which
stands on th ast sld of the street. I
jumped up and .soon my entire household
was aroused. I looked out the front win
dow and saw three men emerging from
the alley on Thirty-ninth, between Burt
and Cuming strrts, leading from th
west, or directly from the rear of the sub
station. They walked Indian fashion on
after th other diagonally from th mouth
of the alley toward the northeast corner
of Thirty-ninth and Burt street. We thr
lost sight of them.

Needed extension of present csr lines and
the building of cross lines was th prin
cipal suhlect considered by th Real Estate
txrhange Wednesday, and more attention
was given It than has been accorded ny
subject before the exchange for months.
Sentiment was general that the street
railway company should extend IU yn
and build others, and. not doing so, should
be compelled by legislation or by uny
other means possible. Tha Inadequate
transportation facilities In the large and
growing city make it Imperative to bring
pressure to Iwar on tho comnany- to force
It to make Improvements, raid ten or twclv
real estnte men, who talked on th sub
ject. What could be done In th way of
legislation was rather vague In the minds
of the members, but most of them agreed
something In the way of laws to force Im
provement wa possible.
The result of the discussion was the ap
pointment of a committee to consider and
device mean for a public agitation and
concentrated action In the matter, espe
cially with a view to legislation.
The cross lines suggested as necessary
are one on Twenty-fourth street to con
nect the Cuming street with the Leaven
worth, street line and one on Thirty-eltfhth
trect to connect these two lines.
Another subject taken up was that of
abstracts, George G. Wallace uggeatlna;
It Is not necessary to go back of th pi At
In the tas of addition to the city. In this
connection W. H. Thomas related hi ex
perience of six year aa recorder In an
Iowa county, where th recorder examine
the abstrscts and certifies them when th
plat Is made, so that It Is unnecessary to
tak an abstract back of th plat. This
plan was satisfactory and Mr. Thorns
thought It could be used with success here.
X. P. Dodge, Jr., said It would be better
to take a step further and adopt tho Tor
rens system, adopted Mm yar ago In
Illinois, and by which the purchaser need
an abstract only on a single transaction
to Insure him clear title to his purchase.
