UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION UNDERSTANDS WHY Y. M. C. A. MEMBERS ARE BETTER TOILERS THAN MOST OTHER EMPLOYES.

FEW MINOR ERRORS IN BOOK THE STOCK IS DIVIDED INTO TH EE LOTS KEEPING WAS ALL THE FAULT FOUND WITH CITY TREASURER 8-39 SMITH'S RECOMMENDATIONS

The Young Mens Christian Association has a tremendous industrial value in every community where large manufacturing interests abound Here are some facts presented for the consideration of Richmond industries. The United States Steel Corporation recognizes the industrial value of the Association, and gives largely to the work in cities where they have plants located. This company care3 nothing for the religious side of the work. AVith them it is a straight business proposition, and considered a good investment. These companies know that the place where the men and boys spend their time when away from work has much to do with their value as workmen. The United States Steel Corporation, which views everything from the standpoint of dollars" arid cents in view of the above 'fact; gives $2,000 each year toward the current

exjnses of the South Lorain, O. As Kociation. When the building was erected, at a cost of about $30,000; they first gave $2,100 as" a company and later when they felt the value to their business in the lives of the men thev lifted the last mortgage of $6,000, (six-thousand) . making a tot ill gift of $8,100 and would have given .more if necessary. .Since that time over and above their . regular sub scription of $2,00 . each year, they have naid the yearly, deficit, more than once. The proposition- from a. business standnoint is a reasonable-one. The rnen and boys who-get interested in the work, come - to business with clearer brains and stronger bodies than if their time was spent in places of dissipitation. The educational Classes are of untold value' to the industrial life. The Association by its night classes supplies the education needed by the apprentices and men in the shop. In some cases it is Mechanical drawing in some Electricity, or it may be Mathematics, "Writing, Spelling etc., all of which is value io the man or boy who has been fore Btl to leave school and go to work early in life without his equipment. The United States Steel Corpora tion is so favorably disposed toward the work because of the above facts that the Association Secretaries and Physical Directors have permanent passes and the absolute freedom of their plants at all hours of the day and night.

There is no cloud hanging over

Charles E. Tennis, who is about to retire from the office of Citr Treas urer, and in reference to the management of whose office there have been many reports current of late. The report of the expert accountant, Henry L. Smith, of Indianapolis, with the report of the Finance Committee, filed with the City Council last night, and approved, is taken to settle all questions with regard to the affairs of the office, and to prove a complete vindication of Mr. Tennis, who was found not to be short, but instead to have made only a few minor errors in his bookkeeping that were easily righted. Mr. Tennis was present at the meeting and was pleased with tne view that Council took of the situation and with the expressions by the memti"v of Council. Mr. Tennis approi r thi ! suggestions made by the Fin uv Cmmittee and also stated thit the system of bookkeeping that had been followed since the new municipal law went Into effect was not of his choosing, but was the plan devised by the City Controller, who is given authority by law to select the system that he prefers. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he was pleased with the outcome of the audit and glad that no blame attaches in any way to Mr. Tennis. The report submitted by the Finance Committee was in full as follows: Indianapolis, Aug. 17, 1906. Mr. Henry . W. Deuker, Chairman Finance Committee, Common Council, Richmond, Ind. My Dear Sir: I have finished the examination of the books of the Treasurer of the City of Richmond and herewith hand you my report. I did not examine the tax duplicate nor the Street Waiver ImnroTrmpiit nccnjints. I pYaminpri the receipts and disbursaments in the record known as "Treasurer AcSept. 1st, 1902 'to May, 1905, and found Vtn error of $2.00 on page 148. I ex amined the receipts and disbursements entered on the Cash Books from May, 1905, to July 31st, 1906, inclusive, and I found on April 24th, an error of $8.85; in June. 1905, an error of $12.16, and in Feb, 1906, an error of Sic. These errors have been cor rected on the Cash Book with the re suit that I find $23,793.62 to the credit vf the General Fund with $704.47 in outstanding warrants and $15,105.41 in the Special Fund. I find there has been paid into the Sinking Fund $12,440.86. Corrections were made on tho fnttinfrnllpr'a hnnts tn rnrrncunn A with the above balances. I found warrant No. S003 for $11.00, dated Feb, 23, 1905, still unpaid and in the j hands of the Treasurer and not charg ed on the Cash Book, and this amount should be paid to him. As per your suggestion, I will of fer the following recommendations: 1st. A Public Cash Book be used, in which all receipts and disbursements be entered that come into the Treasurer's hands and for which he gives a receipt. This should inelude cash paid for street improve.uents. 2nd. A Puclic Ledger should be kent for all the accounts inclndinccash and bank accounts. rd. A uniform receipt for Cash Street Improvements and a uniform receipt for Waiver Street Improvements, bound in book form, with nroner stubs. 4th. The Treasurer should certify to the Comptroller on the first of each month., the collections for cash street improvements for the previous month. 5th. The Treasurer to pay for Pah Street Imnrnvpmpnte nn n Hair fixed by the Council or Board of Works, on a warrant drawn by the Comptroller for said improvement, for all collections made during the previous month. Respectfully submit ted. HENRY L. SMITH. Richmond.I nd., Aug. 20th, 1906. Mr. President: Your Committee on Finance, to whom was referred t,he matter of aud iting the accounts and books of the City Treasurer, report as follows: We employed Henry L .Smith, an expert accountant of Indianapolis, to audit said books and accounts at an agreed price of $25.00 per day. We submit herewith the report made by him. No examination made of the tax duplicate nor the Street Waiver Im provement Account. Mr. Smith says it would take five or six days to examine this Improvement account. The Committee asked- Mr. Smith in regard to a better method of keeping certain of the accounts, and at the suggestion of the Committee the recommendations in his report were m.'Jde. We recommend that his suggestions be complied with, and that this committee ba instructed to confer with the new Comptroller and City Treasurer in regard to the method of keeping said accounts. We find that balancc c l&e Treasurer in bank, and

ors, feet $2 this T HILLS ABOUT CITY (Continued From Page One.) parts oi v...... i squares are full of people who have been driven from their homes. Thousands are praying in the street and many have gone mad. The only name yet given of any of the dead is that of Senator Frederic Varela, a prominent leader of the radical party. Only one small section of the port works was saved. The buildings of the Chile and Tarapaca bank and the newspaper El Tertiero are known to have been destroyed. The report seems to be confirmed also that the custom house has been destroyed. The government has declared an indefinite period of mourning. Public relief subscriptions were opened in Buenos Ayres. The Jockey club gave 60,000 pesos. The Argentine government will pass an appropriation for the relief of the sufferers. The free use of dynamite, according to another dispatch, was very effective against the progress of the fire at Valparaiso. The firemen were thoroughly exhausted when the flames were finally subdued. Hundreds of people took refuge on the ships in the harbor. It is stated, that a new danger is threatened by the volcano Wonin, which has become very active. There are indications from the reports received that the earthquake caused great damage throughout the Andean region. It is probable that there has been considerable loss of life and destruction of property at remote points which have not yet been heard from. All of Chile was apparently affected by the shocks as well as numerous points in Argentina in the vicinity of the Andes. ; Fear Commercial Crisis. Santiago, Aug. 20. The report that the naval school at Valparaiso had es caped destruction is confirmed. A number of families have sought refugee in the school building, where they are being cared for by the naval authorities. Medical supplies have been sent from this city to Valparaiso and everything possible is done to as sist the homeless people. No accurate estimate of the damage done by the earthquake can yet be made, but it is considered .certain that -t will run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is feared a commercial crisis will follow the earthquake disaster. It is believed that steps will immediately be taken to meet this situation. Business is being slowly" resumed here and at Valparaiso. Half the Town Destroyed. Paris, Aug. 20. A brief dispatch from the French consul at Valparaiso received at the foreign office says that half that city was destroyed by the earthquake and fires. The postoffice here announced that telegraphic communication with Valparaiso was open by way of the north. Quakes In Martinique. Fort de France, Island of Martinique, Aug. 20. Earthquake shocks of more or less severity were felt jn the island of Martinique. No damage was done. S REQUEST to coram . IPublishers" Press! - Peoria, 1 i;,. u. William j.
