CARDEN SUSTAINED
Collector Saunders of Port

Treasury Solicitor Keeve Says That
Carden Would Hare Been Ke

Seiiit'Ue, Oct. 19. A dlfferenoe of opin
ion recently arose betwtten Co'.Cector ot
Outlioms J. C. Saunders, of Port Town
send, and Lieutenant G. L. Garden, of
the revenue launch Scout; In wttvtdh the
former appealed to 'the"sejretary of the
treasury, and the letter's retiponee
amounts to a reprimand.
Camden a few weeks tSnce reported the
steamer Buckeye for not carrying a ilfe
Taft and the iatter made a cruise of Se
attije harbor from which he reported
steamboats, yachts and rowboaita for not
dJsrllaylr.g proper lights, 'the fines ot
whicih, had they been imposed, would
lhave amounted to $7,000 to $10,000. These
report simip'.y deluded the Port Town
send custom office, and the collector,
taking the Buckeye case as an t-ooaslon,
wir.Ote to the deiparttimenit to get his opin
ilon austalined, to Uhe effect that It was
Oairden's duty to dhase dawn ismTiKlers
orfty. The reply calme quickly, reinforced
'by iflhe opinion of Treasury Sol id tor
Reeve. In the Hia'titer It was plainly elat
ed that Carden bad onily done Ihls duty,
and had he not reported violations he
iwouM have ibeen WatiCe to a fine of $100

While the staltute does not provide for
it, Saunders has essayed to Investigate
