! HUGE LEAK IS POUND
IN U. S. R. H. PAYMENT
Washington, Dec. 19.—Comptrol
ler General McCarl has discovered
that the railway and water trans
portation systems ol the country
have been mulcting the government
tor years out of laige sums of money
through overpayments by incompe
tent departmental disbursing officers.
The leak, the Comptroller General
announced, is to be stopped by tak
ing the disbursing authority from
the differeut departments and cen
tering it in the general accounting
office of the government.
Under the present haphazard
method of paying government trans
portation charges, the overpayments
run Into millions. These over
charges are usually corrected, but
in the meantime the railroads have
used the government's money witli
out interest and the Treasury haa
been deprived of its use. During
the paat 10 months something like
$1,000,000 has been received from
transportation systems tor overpay
ments, the Comptroller said.
He believes the department heads
u- from responsibility by saying "There
j is little wonder that overpayments
id are frequent under the system in
nt vogue. The determining of a correct
;e. transportation charge. Involving, as
iv it often does, most Intricate ques
ie. tions of rates and classifications, is
d- a most difficult task, demanding
ad both experience and an extensive
).|and ever changing library of classi
q. i flcations, tariffs, division sheets and
I other data."

ALASKA INBIAMS TO U£i
BARBED AT OREGON SCHOOL
Salem, Ore., Dec. 19.—Nearly a
dozen Indian boys from various
points In Alaska, Washington, Mon
tana and other states must be turn
ed away from th& Salem Indian
school, according to Supt. Harwood
Hall, because under the government
regulations, they do not possess the
educational qualifications that en
title them to admission to Indian
schools.
According to Superintendent Hall,
the boys are from communities that
are so isolated that they haven't
been able to progress farther than
the sixth grade by the time they
were 17 years old. Under govern
ment regulations they are not elig
ible for the Indians schools under
these conditions, says Superintendent
Hall.
The boys are at present stranded
In Salem. They haven't sufficient
funds to return to their homes, and
if they did return would be unable
to continue their education. The
transportation fund of the Salem
school is too lean to care for them.
Superintendent Hall is endeavoring
to find work for them in and around
Salem, so that they can continue
their education.
