ipience followed, which put ilu audi
tors on their dlKlnlty nnd they became
Impressed with the Idea that the boa id
held the auditors at fault.
.Mr. Klveiilnilg Insisted that he did
not think the audit complte.
There was u somewhat heati'd ai'Kit
ment between Dlreetor Took and Audi
tor Wheeler.
The arKitini'iils In sub-dance were iih
follows: Mr. Cook Hrat inquired If the
nudltors had inquired Into the eonduet
of the steward. Air. Jadulu answered
that no kucIi power was Riven in the
art. Mr. 'Wheeler gave his personal
opinion that the steward wan holding
only lo thi' boa id under whleh lie was
employed. The auditors could only sub
poena, him as 11 witness.
Itivt-nhurt- said he considered the
bond of the .steaid was still Rood,
and that the board e otild still hold
him responsible.
Mr. Wheeler said the aitditois didn't
ouio to be Insulted and th.-y would
withdraw If the directors became abu
sive, livery item on the report wii
fully backed up by substantial ovl-
denee.
Mr. Jadwln stated th.it the auditors
had done thi?lr duty as lully as tlie
' mild and said that If the repoi t was
nut sutl&factory there was a proper le
cral way to appeal It.
ItenardliiB the affairs of the stewanl.
the auditors stated that Mr. Chine had
been called before them and had been
clotely I'Namltied and that all the In
formation received fiom him appealed
In the audit. They had examined n
witness stiS(j''sted by Mr. Cook, but
louud no evidence vvlinlever on which
Iiiukos iiKulnst the stewanl could be
made. The islt of tho auditors ,ie
ompliNhed nothing, as the illscusslons
