BAR BEACH ACQUITTED A Y PANIC 01 PLOT IS DENIED BY TREASURY "Moonshine and Bosh" Says Mac Veigh Cabinet Discusses Order Conpress Starts Probe Explana tions Forthcoming From Officials. WASHINGTON, Feb- 7. "Moon shine" and ''bosh" were the words most used by Secretary of the Trea surv MncVcigh hero till afternoon in rcfcrnui; to the prediction in New York of Kudolph SpreckrK S1111 Francisco millionaire, that the rouit try is threatened with financial dif ficulties at it result of the issuance of "treasury circular No. ."." President Tnft mid the cabinet dis cussed this afternoon the ttossibility of the order causing a panic. ''I haven't seen the order," said Attorney General Wiekcrshani. ''but nil tnlk of a plot to dynamite the Wil-on administration with a panic bomb is nothing more than hot air." The house committee on expendi tures in the treasury department has started an investigation on its own account. Acting Chairman Young an nounced he would ask Secretary of the Treasury MucYeigh to testify be fore his committee regarding the cir cular. Assistant Secretary of the Trea sury liailey issued n statement this afternoon explaining tho order and denying its illegality ns alleged b Sproekcls. "The order simply increases the number of deHMtorieV' said Mailcy, "for the purpose of simplifying check exchange without materially increas ing tho fixed balance of national funds in national bunks. 'Under the old system there were i.'O national deiw.sitories. carrying a total fixed balance of $J8.000,000! Under order number five the number of depositories is increased to 530 and the hixed balance increased to about $."i0,000.00(). This means n de crease in each individual bunk." TO SrSriON LE TO SAVE HIS LIFE Because he is developing marked symptoms of quick consumption, due to his confinement in the county jail, friends of T. A. LeMnster, who pled guilty to bigamy recently, are to make an attempt at once to secure his re lease, in order that he may be treated properly for his illne..s. It is feared that confinement for i few weeks longer may prove fatal. A pardon will be sought at once. LeMustor is n large fleshy man, of the build that succumbs most easily to tuherculoois. Physicians state tlmt only outdoor exercise and sun shine can help him. Wliilo technically guilty of bigamy I.eMnster was never bhowu to be mor ally guilty. He left his first wife seven years ago and she instituted divorce proceedings. I.eMnster did not leani until n short time ugo, xvhen ho married again, tlmt the deereo had never been entered. Tho decree has bince been properly entered. It wns shown that ho was ignorant of the fact that he was still n married man when he married the second time. Ho i highly rcgaided by his business associates. He has still several months lo serve in the county jail unless pardoned out. CIRCUlflUDGES7- SALARIES RAISED SALKM. Feb. 7.

"Tho circular direc! that customs money bo deposited In national banks," said Sprockets today. "I be lieve the order directly conflicts with tho law. "It seems strango the the Taft administration should Issue such an order on the eve of going out of of fice. Wo have the rlcht to question tho motive which prompted such ac tion. Unless the order Is promptly rescinded we will wltnci a marked and unusual increase In deposits, principally In New York banks, thn Increase amounting to 1200,000,000 annually In New York alone. When tho new administration takes office It will be obliged to demand the re turn of theso funds to the govern ment.
