BUCKWHEAT Heckers’ Cream Wheat Farina de a delicious breakfast cereal THE NEW YORK WORLD SETS THE PACE! All of Widow's Possessions Are Given Up to Make Good the Loss, Robert Gere of No. 16 West Sixty- seventh Street, Manhattan, financial clerk In the Department of Docks and Ferries, who died rather suddenly! Oct. 18, 1914, after having been one of the most implicitly trusted om: | ployees there, was a defaulter to the amount of $12,962.07, according to a| | report submitted to the Mayor to-day | by Commissioner of Accounts Leon- ard M. Wallstein, The report shows that the peculations of Gere wero made possible only by the extremely loose methods of bookkeeping which prevailed while he held his job. Appointed a clerk June 1, 1895, Gere shortly afterward was made financial |clerk ut a salary of $3,000 a year.| | Among his duties was the receipt of all paymonts to the department, re- cording them in the cash book and| depositing them to the credit of the| City Chamberlain It was not until after Gere’s death that any Irregularities in his accounts were suspected. First a thorough examination was made by Immediate employees of the Dock Department. This examination, the Commissioner | of Account's report saya, “showed de-| | falcations on the part of the de- coased.” | The members of Gere's family, to} missioner says, were reluctantly com- | pelied to verify the figures then sup-| posed to represent the full shortage—| 96,605.89. The immediate relatives of! Gere said they would make good the! amount. A check was accordingly sent to the city for the full $5,509.89. This was accepted as “correct to date,” because it was then suspected by the exam- iners that the end of their investiga- tions bad not yet arrived. It was ex-| plained on Jan, 8 of this year when| the check was sent that it included) all the widow possessed Commissioner Walletein claimed, however, that there still was a re-/ sponsibility of $3,000, which represents | the bond furnished in Gere's behalf by the United States Fidelity and Guar- anty Company. In explaining how the additional $7,456.18 in irregularities was dis- covered the Commissioner of Ac- counts's report says: “The examination of the accounts ae kept by Gere appears to have shown that his peculations were made ceived and preparing the daily bank deposit permitted him to exercise an unchecked control of the funds pass- ing through the cashier's office. Among the items mentioned as rep- resenting the $7,456.18 shortage are a check from the War Department for $4,760, rent to the City of New York, also a rent check of $993.31 from the entered in cash receip to the credit of sumably to . but entered | other items, pre-| ver up irregularities, — | —_—-- | CORNELL TEAM LIMBERS UP | AT ATLANTIC CITY TO-DAY.
