Miss Bollman Is employed in the financial department of the poetofflce. The charge la that Mr. Straus, as fl nace clerk, failed to turn over to thu department remittances for stumps and other sums received from postmasters throughout the slate amounting to 14.073. Straus was arraigned before United ' mates' Commissioner Cannon this morning and at that time asked for a hearing. The hearing waa set for November i. A statement prepared by Mr. Bchnu bol regarding the arrvst of Ilia client follows: Ziawyer Xakea Statement, ' "Mr. Straus welcomes a judicial Inquiry Into all matters and things about which certain muck rakers have busli-d them selves for ulterior motives. Mr. Btraus resents with all vigor any iipputatloli "r InHlnuutlon ' that he has made any con fession, for the very simple reason them was none to make, and the .naked accu sation of those trafficking-in the busi ness of assailing the character and In tegrity of honest men will be held to a strict accountability at the proper time. No one believes that Charllt' Btraus Is guilty of any Irregularity. H is a peculiar thing that none of tha parties Interested or affected In this matter Is complaining. I do not believe that the public, and 1 know Mr. Straus -friends and acquaintances will not pre judge Mr. Straus on one sided ex-parK-statements. "This matter haw been a subject of -.scusslon between the pg.rtiea interestud for four or five months, and Mr. StraiiH has maintained the same position from that time unto this and has nnver wa vered, for the reason that there was ajil Is no reason for It. A naked accusation Is no evidence of guilt."- , Bays It Is a Mistake. Straus maintains that his accounts were straight In every way when he lft the department. Tuesday ho spent some time going over 1h books with the Inspectors. It is understood that the books were found to be all right, but nevertheless the government agent say that the money is gone and that the cashier is responsible for the amount that Is missing. Straus left the service April 18. At that, time he asked for a vacation, ex nlalnlrir .that his eyes had been giv ing him a great deal of trouble. The cave was granted. As a matter of form the clerks in he cashier's department checked up the accounts and the cash on hand. Two days after Mr. Straus had gone the shortage was discovered.
