8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TH DAY, OCTOBER 17 KNEW IT BUT KEPT STILL Ooulter's Btealing Known to Taylor of the Finance Committee, BUT HE KEPT THE MATTER VERY QUIET How the Deputy City Treasurer Took ‘or Mimself the City Funds is More Fully De- weribed. YWhen Chalrman Cadet Taylor of the cm- tittes on finance reported to the city council Tuesday night that the committee bad only the day before discoversd evidence which called for the apprehension of Jerome K. Couls lats deputy city treasurer, he was guilty of a willtul misrepresentation of facts. There s the most conclusive evidence that the fact that Coulter had systematically s'olen city money was known to Taylor and his associates within a few days after the expert account- ants went to work on Bolln's books. It perhaps true that exact amount that Coulter had stolen was not known until Tues- fay morning, but before the examination of his accounts during his first month of office was completed it was apparent that he had siready begun pocketing a portion of the tunds that passed through his hands It is a peculiar circumstance that in his re- port Mr. Taylor neglected to afford any defi- nite information to the council as to the ex- tent of Coulter's peculations. He was aske for this information by members of the cou ¢il, but evaded an answer on the plea that it ‘was not considered advisable to give out the facts. The finance committee has con ntly pursued its policy of concealing the facts in the case and it is doubtful whether any report would have been presented to the squncil at this time had not The Bee discov tred the facts and made them public. Mr. Tayloe has in his possession a detailed statement which shows the exact extent to which Coulter's peculations were carried dur- Ing the three and one-nalf years he occupled tha office of deputy treasurer. The grand total Is $31,800, or nearly $10,000 more than the amount which was reported by Comp- troller Olsen as the total of the shortage in the city treasurer’s office, COULTER BEGAN SOON The statement shows that Coulter inau- gurated his system of thefts within th flayo after he was appointed deputy treasurer o went crooked from the first ‘day ha went nto the office, and, aided by the connivanc of Incompetent and corrupt officials, he con- tnued his whan the explosion superior were est men. In January, 18¢ after his appointment s he he and hjs ‘way to hon- came and compelled to giv and within a few days Coulter drew a check on one of the city depositories for $400. The theck was in Coulter's handwriting, but Bolln's signature was attached. The money was drawn from the bank and pocketed by Coulter. It was never credited on the cash account and from the moment that the amount was drawn from the b it disap- peared from sight. The fact that this ob- vious embezzlement was perpetrated during the first month of Coulter's term is con- clusive evidence that it must have been dis- covered by the experts very shortly after they began their task, during the latter part of June. But Mr. Taylor declares that he knew nothing of the matter until three days ago. Similar instances have been discovered through nearly every month of Coulter's service, Small amounts were stolen in Feb- ruary, March and the following months and the statement which Taylor is so indus- triously secreling shows the exact amount that was taken in each instance. On August 5, 1893, Coulter drew a check on a local de- pository for $5,000. A day or so later he drew another for same amount, and toward the latter part of the month, $1,000 additional. The first draft of $5,000 was duly credited on the cash book. The remain- ing $6,000 was credited along in small amounts, all through the remainder of the month. At first the greater part of this was held out by Coulter, but he evidently feared to appropriate the whole amount, and day by day he gradually turned portions of it Into the treasury. The result was that he credited $10,600, and only pocketed $500 out of the original $11,000. WENT FOR BIG PILES. It was not until the summer of 1894 ever, that Coulter let down the bars recklessly waded into the funds. It was at this time that he was keeping the wo! in the South Sixteenth street flat and he needed the mone his business, During this period he drew checks in varfous amounts of $2,000, $2,500 and $3,000 and not a single dollar of these amounts was ever turned Into the cash drawer. The recapitulation of the statement shows that the checks which were drawn, out of which the proceeds were partially or entirely appropriated by Coulter (checks amounting to nearly $25000) were drawn in Coulter's handwriting and signed ‘‘Henry Bolln, by J. K. Coulter, deputy.” The remainder of the checks were signed by Bolln himself . Considering the huge amount which was stolen by Coulter It is scarcely believed that §t was all expanded in his dissipations. It is kncwn that Coulter pald up some mortgage on hig property during this period and it is believed that the remainder was safely di posited, either In a safe deposit vault or in gome out of town bank. This latter theory 18 supported by the information that a short time before he left town, he went into the Nebraska Savings #hd Exchange bank and drew a draft for a large amount on the Hi- bernfan bank in Chicago. As he went to Chicago immediately on leaving Omaha it is confidently asserted that he had undoubtedly deposited his gains In that city. A warrant was issued in police court yes- terday for the arrest of Coulter for embez- ent. The complaint was signed by tant County Attorney H. L. Day, and the amount named in the complatt was $2,000. This represents an amount which Coulter pocketed on a single check and is sufficient to bring him back if arrested anywhere in the United States. If ho succeeds in making his escape, additional warrants will be issued coverning the other thefts until he is charged with the embezzlement of the entire amount, $31,800, which will be sufficient to secure extradition papers. The last information obtalned of Coulter's whereabouts is that he was recently seen in El Paso, Tex. It is believed that Coulter is following Barrett Scott's example and is making his way to M - It May II as Much for Yo Mr. Fred Miller of Irviug, Ill, writes that he had a severe kidney troubie for many ears, with severe pains in his back and also hat his bfadder was affected.

It was announced that if the cass were not pros cuted when next it came up it would have to be dropped. When the K- s against Frank district court, was was commissioners met It was with the expectation that the Investigation would be begua earn When only the attorneys for the defense ap- peared, however, it was at once surmise that another postponement was in order. The surmise was' shortly verified, for as soon as the case was called, one of the at- torneys arose and stated that the attorneys on both sides had agreed to postpone th | for several days, The postponement was not granted, how- ever, until some of the members of the board had " expressed themselves emphatically to the effect that they were getting tired of the methods being pursued in the investiga- tion. Jenkins said that if the case did not come up for hearing on next Wednesday he intended to offer a motion to dismiss it. Willlams seemed to think that a good idea. Although the prineipal purpose of the board in holding a meeting yesterday was to consider the Moores case some regular busi- ness was transacted. A majority of this, however, was routine, dealing with bills of various kinds. There was one point of interest in the meeting. Some time ago a petition from a number of citizens was received by the board, asking that a speclal attorney be a pointed by the board to care for the count poor farm cases In the courts. The peti- tion was referred to a commlte The committee returned report _yesterday, recommending that William D, Beckett be appointed as speclal attorney. The report was adopted and the chairman was instructed to enter into a contract with Beckett, The contract with Beckett provides that he shall be paid $500 on January, 1, 1896, an- other $500 on July 1 of the same year and yesterday another $500 on January 1, 1897, If on the ar date the attorney fees in the case are he contract provides Beckett proportio] If, however, LAST HARVEST EXCURSION Tuesday and Will Be a Big One. Nex Comes SEASON'S BUSINESS WITH HOMESEEKERS ople on the Final Trip Will Look Over Nebraska and nuan—Scalpers Been Headed Off, There will be one more harvest homé ex- cursion this year, on October and the passenger men are of the opinion that it will be the largest that has been run this season. Inquirles are coming in from all parts of the east, particularly from Ohlo, Hlinols and Indlana, and special provisions are being made to accommodate the farmers of those states who have their crops garnered and are ready to take a trip through the northwest. These passenger agents are dealers in fu- tures In a large measure. For the restless spirit that attacks the eastern farmer when his crops are harvested they have a panacea in a cheap trip to Nebraska, Kansas, Wyom- ing and the Dakotas. The reduced fare may not look very big to the railroad man, but he has an abiding faith in the attractions of est, and s that the eastern who gets a good look at the fertile of the west and northwest and learns of the comparatively low price of lands, will eventually be seiz:d with the immigration fever, and will be a patron of the road and a resident of the fertile west There have be:n four of these landseckers’ excursions this year, but there will be one more. Heretofore the excursions have had a* demoralizing cffect upon passenger busi- ness, and the scalpers have had a nice har- vest in the business of dealing with home- seckers' tickets, passenger agents h made the business such a study, howey that this year the cheap ticket hedged about with such restrictions that the scalpers have had but little profit in any tickets that fell into their bands The Burlington peopl> claim to have about 4,000 tickets to homescekers th #on, and expect to sell 1,600 more f excursion on_October 2 They « have located ncarly 2,000 families by means of the homeseekers' tickets, most of them on the line of the Burlington's extension in Wyoming and Montana. These sec have been most liberally advertised by the Burlington this year. They al® report a very large immigration into Nebraska, and expect that most of the business of the last excursion of the year will be to Nebraska po! sure sold sea- th im to The Rock Island that the tide of passenger people ass| mmigration on their has turned again, and is now directed toward Nebraska and Kansas. The farmers of the eastern and central states have heard of th returning prosperitys and big corn crop in tho states, and are anxious to investigate, The earlier excursions of the Rock Island wera directed to Texas 1 southern points, but the October excursion will be to Ne- braska and Kansas point The Northwestern people had to run extra trains for thelr excursi into northers Towa and south'rn Minnesota earlier in the summer, but they expect to have the big end of the business on thelr ursion next week, which will run to Nebraska points All of these excursions will b2 run of Chicago on October and will through Omaha on Octol 3.

The city central committee has made up the assessments for the campaign fund, which the various candidates will be called on to pay, and the result is not alto- gether satisfactory to all concerned. The apportionment is made on a basis of 6 per cent of the total salary of the position for which ecach candidate is nominated during the two years of service which goes with the office and is consequently distributed as fol- lows: Broatch, $300; Edwards, $720; Gor- don, $300; Higby, $300; Westberg, $300, and each of the nine counclimen $96. The principal protest is made by some of the councllmanic nominees, who assert that $50 is about all that they should be called on to pay, They represent that they have been put to a considerable expense In order to get & place on the ticket and that the total outiay which they are compelled to make is away out of proportion to thelr meager chance of getting elected. eral of the candidates have gone on record as saying that they 1d refuse to pay the amount demanded, the committee contends that they are xed in the same proportion as the fdidates and that tey will have to B° ©% be Kmiled. e — Talk for Reform.

Afterward I was urged sby friends to accept, and decided to do so, but with no idea of holding the office beyond the six months. 1 have been waiting “for some time for the “financial clouds to roll by,” so that I can take up some enterprise of greater importance than any political office. Being in that frame of mind, I said to several friends that I did not think T would care to hold the office be- yond the end of Mr. Bolln's term, as 1 be- lieved by the spring of 1896 financial affairs would 8o shape themselves that I could make more outside of the office than in. 1 also sald that if Mr. Edwards cared to ‘“‘hedge" on the point (as was charged in the news- papers) he would have a better assurance in the fact that my personal interests would be against my holding the office longer than in any one's political promise. Al of these statements were made voluntarily and in good faith, Evidentiy they were repeated, and like neighborhood gossip, after passing from mouth to mouth, were construed into a definite ‘promise. No one asked me to pled, myself not to be a candidate; on the contrary, before my confirmation I met Mr Edwards and was assured by him that he did not want any promise; that he had not sought one from Mr. Reed; that he had voted for me the first thme afd would do so again itrw reappointed, without respect to what I might do in regard to being a candidate this fall. 1 have since been told that Mr. Edwards' friends would never have con firmed me if they had not understood t1 would not be a candidat Any such ‘‘understanding” was obtained in the manner ted above and was waived by Mr. Edwards himself. With down to say that name on the Be had decided, in ca: fus:d to con ot to until the xt o A O council, however, called at his residence that night a having an name before adjournment and he finally sent in mine. It came as a surprige to the council, and T was afterwards informed that it was rejected because those pretending to know stated positively that I was identified with the citizens' .move- ment. Any one knowing the inside facts will concede that principal reason for Mr. Swobe's rejection was that he was a leade in_that movement With regard to Mr, Reed's withdrawal, T am_informed that while some of Mr. Fd- wards' friends (not he himself) sought a promise from Mr. Reed that he would not candidate this fall, his chief reasn thdrawing his name was that he found rtain large property owners, whom he at first thouzht would sign the bond { would not do so—not through any lack of confidence in hi but because they would not sign for anyone, and thcse same men advised him not to accept the appointiment. I do not mean to intimate that Mr. Reed ble to give a good bond (no one doubts his ability to do so), but he could not select for bondsmen such men as he would fcel perfectly free > to return the favor for If oceas Those who argue that because c s were asked of Mr. Reed and Mr. Swobe th must have been required of me also lose sight of the fact that” between the t e when Mr Reed was appointed end my name sent in ()'m second time th ituatlon had materially changed The council combine, which started out to force th» mayor to appoint some one whom they might dictate, found themselves in a position, by the afternoon of June 28, where they were anxious (as they put it them selves) to confirm any reputable republican whose republicanism had never been que tioned.

Asourances were glven Bdwards by Mr. Dumont's friends that he would not stand in the way of Edwards' ambition. Otherwise his nomination would never hava been confirmed, As to a definite promise either in writing or in so many words, no one has charged that Mr. Edwards sought to exact one from Mr. Reed, Mr. Swobe or Mr. Dumont. It is a Tact, however, that on the day on_which Mayor Bemis sent the name of A. L. Reed to the council for confirmation Mr. Edwards, ac- companied by City Attorney Connell, called upon Mr. Reed at his ofiice to ascertain his intentions concerning his appointment. The whole burden of the questions with which Mr. Reed was assailed was to elicit from him positive assurances that he would under no conditions accept the republican nomination for city treasurer. treasury. 50 far man any even according to OMAHA, Bee: My editorial Oct. 5.—To attention has in today's Bee that I am ‘“reported willing to with- draw from the race” for city treasurer. In asmuch as this will create a false impression among my friends I rely upon you to print my denial of that statement. I have no in- tention whatever of withdrawing, and will be in the race until the polls close. CHARLES W. THOMPSON, e R Filing of Nominatio rtifienten.
