HE PREDICTS FRAUD Ex-Controller Lawrence Attacks the Dockery Law. MEETING OF THE STATISTICAL SOCIETY The Chicago Strike Discussed by Dr. Nimmo. FISHERIES BULLETIN ‘ The recent Chicago strike, the new Dock- ery law and inaccuracies in the census bal- letins formed a trio of most interesting sub- Jects Cor discussiom at the regular meeting of the National Statistical Association, held last night at the Columbian University. There was a fair attendance, considering the rain storm that was raging. Dr. Jo- seph Nimmo, jr., read a careful paper on the cotnmercial aspects of the strike, which he denominated as an insurrection egainst the laws of the country. He described the origin of the strike among the Pullman workingmen, aud went on to give an esti- mate of the valves affected by the general - sympathetic strike that followed. The com- merce affected, he said, amounted to about $2,000,000,000 in the Chicago region annu- ally, and to about $,000,00,000 a year in the region west of Chicago. The entire country from Hammond, lil, to ihe Pa- citle ccast was affected by the strike. Some one in Chicage tas ngured that the act loss «mused by the strike was apout §. 400,000, of which a large proportion wi the form of wages. Dr. Nimo aid not believe that the mails need more protection from the government than does the normal interstate traflic’ ot the country. But the expedient of trying to force the ratiroad companies and the public to contribute to the success of the original strike was decidedly immoral, ana contrary to the iaw of laws. His own opinion of the law in the specific case ot the right of a man to strike coimcided with the opinions delivered by Judges Grosseup and Cooley, and later by Judge Harlan. ‘There could be no question of the individual right to quit Work, but there is no right to be found to support the effort of the A. R. U. to force the public to aid the insurrec- tion, which demoralized all principles of order and decency. Dr. Nimmo briefly the history of the railroads in try, to show that there has been an_ evolution from the idea that prevailed up to 1855, to have each road independent. There was, he said, a distaste on the part of the owners of the roads to junctions, as well as on the part of the public. Senti- ment was also against the building of bridges across navigable streams. He in- stanced that in the fifties he went to Chi- cago and paid seven different fares, travel- ing over as many separate roads. But the necessities of the war broke into this theory of railrcading, and there has been a gradual amalgamation until the independ- ence of the separate roads has disappeared and there is instead a great American rail- road system. This system cannot be threatened in one part without endangering the whole, and so the example of the great strike of 184 is a valuable lesson to show the need of quicker enforcement of the na- tonal iaws. Dr. Nimmo gave some figures to show that the condition of the railroad men today is far superior to that of the past, wages being higher and the cost of living, he asserted, less. He declared that aggregated capiial is today the greatest of potentialities for the good of mankind. National Supremacy. During the discussion of this paper Judge Wm. Lawrence, the president of the associa- tion, said that the strike had demonstrated still more forcibly than ever the supremacy of the general government over the state,when the laws of the nation are concerned. He reviewed the Cleveland-Altgeld correspond- ence, and said that the state had, in the case in point, nothing to do with the mat- ter. Out of the great evil of the strike, therefore, has come one great good—in demonstrating the superiority of the gen- eral government. ‘The association decided to present a copy of this paper to the President, in the hope that he might use its conclusions in his forthcoming message to Congress, which is = te contain some reference to the strike. The Dockery Law. Judge Lawrence, who was first coptroller of the treasury during the Garfield-Arthur administration, then’ gave utterance to some very strong opinions concerning the recent reorganization of the department under the new Dockery law. He said that during the five years of his term he had closely ob- served the working of the accounting sys- tem of the depertment, which had been in Vogue from tne time the law was originally dratted by Alexander Hamilton unui we first day of the present mouth, He could say in a single sentence that he considered that system*as near perfect as any human device could be. He spoke brietly of ihe or- ganization inaugurated by Hamilton, who, he said, had placed the disbursements of public money in the hands vf certain officers snown as disbursing agents, or ofhcers ap- pointed by the Secreiary of the ‘Ireasury, to whom the law gave unlimited authority, whenever there was no other provision, to Make such selections. in addition to the ac- counts of these vilicers, there are many claims preser-ted to the department, waich are referred to the various auditors, whose work is wisely divided into clus: vi auditor passes upon the chance, allows it. It then controller, from whom, if allowed, it is se to the register of the treasury for cert entries, and then back to the controlier Who signs a warrant for the payment. Al- exander Hamilton said that the controile of the treasury was intended as a check upon the Seereiary, and he devised the plan ot having his decisions invilate. Until now his rulings have only been reviewabie by the Supreme Court of the United States. “AS a protection against errors and frauds,” continued Judge Lawrence, “there was devised this doubdie system of account- ing. Every claim must go first to the auditor ad then to the controller, which gave every possible protection to the gov- ernment. The system has worked absolute- ly well. It is the marvel of the age that with the vast disbursements of public mon- eys there have been so few errors and frauds. There is not an enterprise con- ducted in the whole world with one-fostieth of the business in which there are so few frauds. If the treasury of the United States were subject to the same rules of business that prevail in Wall street there would be thousands of times as much money mis- spent every year. It now has the most marvelous system of accounting ever de- vised in the world, and it stands as a mon- ument worthy of the great and matchless brain that planned it. A Mystery. “When a system has stood unimpeached for over a century it should not be changed without the gravest consideration and de- liberation. The commission appointed by Congress was headed by Mr. Dockery, a gentleman whom I know most favorably. This commission went to work with the definite purpose of changing something, whether there was need of change or not. I cannot conceive how they wrought as they did. They entirely abolished the con- trollers all but one. When I say this I should explain that under the old system there were really five controllers—the first and second, the commissioner of customs, the sixth auditor and the commissioner of the land office. All of these officers had the functions of a controller. The new law also changes the functions of the one controller left, and gives the auditors the final juris- diction on all claims against the govern- ment, except when the claimant, in case of a disallowance, appeals to the controller. Therefore, the controller now has Jurisdic- tion only _— cases of rejected claims, ‘The money is all allowed before it reaches him. The effect is that if a disbursing offi- j cer makes a mistake or commits a fraud, or if a claimant presents a fraudulent account, end this is by chance or by collusion al- lowed, there is absolutely no revision pos- sible. It is very clear that it is not pos- sible in one single examination of the vast multitude of claims to avoid both error and fraud. There is not a statistical office under the government that can safely be run without revision. Chance Fra “The chance for fraud in this great mass of claims that pour into the treasury is all the greater by reason of the enormous extent of the country. In a narrow circle like the District of Columbia, for instance, an attempt at fraud would probably dis- cover itself. Here a man presenting a claim on the government is well known and the fact becomes public property. If wrong in it some one ts bound to call attention to the fraud. The single system might probably work well in such But with the whole country putting claims, where the people are unknown and the citizens of the place from which the claims come do not know of their presenta- out to almost complete success by Boss Tweed. The system really covered up the frauds instead of exposing them. Dangerous System. “I believe that the new organization of the department is the most dangerous and disastrous system that could possibly be adopted. If there chances to be one rascally clerk in the office of one of the auditors there will be fraud. I had such a clerk in my office, who entered into collusion with a consul to defraud the government. The claim passed the auditor in proper shape, but was to be fixed up in my office by this clerk so as to cheat the treasury out of a large sum. The clerk hung up the account for several weeks. Meantime, I had reason for watching that division and let the thing go on. The auditor came to me and told me that that particular case ought to be scrutinized. At the ripe moment I sent for the clerk and confronted him with certain facts. He fainted, and a little later he left the service. Had it not been for the auditor that claim might have passed as doctored. So that the auditor acts as a check upon the controller as well as the controller upon the auditor. Each watches the other. The auditor has a pride, naturally, in his work, and does not like to see his rulings upset. “I do not believe that six months will roll by before the government will be robbed of ‘thousands upon thousands cf dollars. It will probably take some time for the evil-intentioned to observe the new law sufficiently to see where they can work a crevice into the system, but they ere bound to do it, and there seems to be no help for it now.” Judge Lawrence concluded with a review of the many and intricate questions of law that are presented to the controller for decision. He said that the President weld have to appoint a very different class of men for auditors than heretofore if they were to be competent to watch the legal interests of the government. In answer to a question the judge said that the fixity of methods unquestipnably aids the would- be defrauder, but stich fixity is necessary and bound to be a part of any system that may be inaugurated. The sume fixity will prevail under the new system as well as under the old. d extempore, in writing, they might be presented to Congress, Fisheries Bulletin, Prof. Smilie then made a few remark to show that the fisheries bulletin of the census office, soon to be issued, will be valueless. He quoted the figures from the preliminary issues of the office to show that there is an apparent absurdity on the face of the returns, which, he declared, have been most incomplete. In ten years the number of people engaged in the in- dustries has been diminished by a halt, while the capital involved and the output have doubled. Mr. Smilie said that he had called the ‘attention of Commissioner Wright to the matter and showed that the schedules were wholly incomplete. The work, he said, had been stopped short in an instant by telegraphic orders from Su- perintendent Porter, and all the men in the field had been called in, The schedules Were in a most chaotic condition, but they had been sent to Mr. Chas. F. Pigeon, chief clerk of the Massachusetts bureau of labor, and he had spent many months and some $60,000 in collating them. But suddenly, said Mr. Smilie, Mr. Pigeon in- curred the displeasure of Mr. Porter and the unfinished work was taken from him and given to some one else, and finally turned into the bureau without having been entirely put together. Now the pres- ent commissioner proposed to issue the in- complete schedutes, although in a letter to the speaker he had acknowledged that in their present condition they were value- less, and thet “comparative results would be almost, if not quite, impossible.” There had been some Col. Wright and Mr the former promised that he would make a frank statement of incompleteness of the returns in his letter of transmittal to the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Smilie said that there is now sufficient. data on ind in the otiice, in the form of corre- spendence carried on as preliminary to the main field work, to giv nost a Complete census of the industry. He belleved that the omissions could very nearly be sup- plied, and he had presented the facts to the association in the hope that some ap- Propriate action might be tak =n. i Upon motion by Dr. Nimmo it was voted that Mr. Smilie should prepare a concise statement of the case, lo be presented to the association at its next meeting, and it was agreed that then the association would take formal action in the direction of bringimg the matter directiy before the attention of the Secretary of the Interior, to the end that the omissions might be supplied and the bulletin reprinted. —_~— — THE GOSPEL IN CHINA, Miss Ha ck of the Central Church to Go as a Missionary. The Laura Pitzer Missionary Circle of the Central Presbyterian Church held last evening its first rewpilar meeting since the summer vacation. Despite the unfavorable weather, a large thering assembled in the chapel to inaugurate the winter's work, and the meeting was unusually interesting because of the presence of Miss Maud Han- cock, who is shortly to sail for China, where she intends to engage in missionary work, Miss Hancock addressed the meeting, de- scribing the preparation necessary for such endeavors and the nature of the work itself. She said that she was going out un- der the auspices of the C Inland Mis- sion, which yearly sends out large numbers of men and women to China, who adopt the Chinese dress and customs 'as far as pos- sible, and push tneir work into the interior wherever possitie. In her own case she first entered the receiving home in Toronto, where her capacities for learning the lan- guage and teaching the Bible were tested. Then she was sent to Chicago, where she worked for nearly three years among the poor and degraded in that large city, all the while assiduously studying to more thoroughly fit her for her labors among the Chinese. She had now been accepted as a missicnary, and would soon sail for Shanghal, where she would complete her study of the language, and would then be- gin her work in earnest. The missionaries of the China-Inland mission, she said, are itinerant; they establish no schools, but teach and explain the Bible in the streets and in the houses of the natives. They re- ceive no fixed salaries and enter into the work for life. Miss Hancock has been for several years past a member of the church to which she last night bade farewell. This church also has now ip Cnina as its missionary the Rev. Hugh White, who entered upon his. labors about two months agu. wo 8 Hood’s is the Best Fall Medicine, because It purifies, vitalizes and en- riches the blood, and therefore gives strength to resist bad effects from Colds, Catarrh, Rheumatism, Pnetmonta, Malaria, the Grip, ete.
