• Startling disclosures concern-,
. ing irregularities in the handling
:oi Marin county funds by Robert
;;E. Graham, county clerk, were
/naade behind closed doors at the
.•.meeting of the Mafin county
board of supervisors in San
; Rafael yesterday morning, and
-''before night Graham's friends
made up the shortage, which is
said to have been several thou
sand dollars. Every effort has
been made to prevent knowledge
cf the scandal becoming public.
- The report that the misuse of j
' county funds had been traced to
. Graham was made to the super- i
.visors by F. Greenhood, repre
sentative of a San Francisco
auditing company, who has been en
gaged for some weeks examining the
books of the county clerk's department,
•\u25a08-nd Is but a partial report of hi« flnd
-, tr.g-j. Every department of the county
. government is to be thoroughly in- \u25a0
investigated and it iB possible that the
'.present exposure Is only the first of a
series.'
. 5O EECORD OF VOtCHEUS
According 1 to the information placed
before the supervisors yesterday, Gra
ham has made It a practice for several
years to withhold sums of money .vary
ing In amount for long period* after
receiving It, but already has made good
•the greater portion of the shortage.
The discrepancy Is said to have
.amounted at times to several , thousand
. dollars, btit of late to have fallen to a
figure which made it possible for
.' Graham's friends to meet the situation;
'.and cover the defalcations within a
few hours after the secret leaked out.
1 The real basis for the report made
'-. by Greenhood was the absence in the
"county books of any accounting for
certain vouchers which went through
!Graha.:n's hands. Some of these vouch
\u25a0' era date back several years, among'
.them being several from San Quentin,
j on which Graham made collections,Mn
j dorslng them "Maria county, by Robert
[E. Grafran ** % These Touchers with the
; Indorsement have been traced from San
j Quentin throttgh San Rafael and* to
i E&cramento.
Several county officials are said to i
; have inspected irregularities In Gra
ham's department for cone time, as It
has been necessary for Sheriff W. P.
Taylor and other county officials to re
\u25a0 eort to extreme measures on several
-occasions and undergo considerable de
.lay before obtaining funds / which
\u25a0chould have been on han<l_at the time
.called for. It is believed that it was
".Graham's method to withhold funds
-
for his own use* from time to time,
covering his tracks by different means
end to return the money at such time
as suited his convenience.
For some time Frank Holland has
been conducting the work of the clerk's
ofSce, Graham remaining away agreat
deal on the plea of Illness. This, It Is
now said, was brought about by worry
over the condition of his accounts.
There also had been some political fric
tion between Graham and Holland,
which may have contributed to the
former's condition and led to the" un
earthing of the irregularities.
TROUBLE OVER DEBTS
"While every: effort was made to sup
press the facts, of the; case yesterday,
the formal report sooner or later must
be made public, and Mayor M. J. . Pe
' drottl of san Raf ael himself , admitted
last night the* nature of its contents.
A rumor was current in San, Rafael
that Graham . ha* , recently had serious
trouble over personal debts "and" that
