"Moonshine and Bosh" Says Mac

Conpress Starts Probe Explana

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 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

Ho i highly rcgaided by his business

He has still several months lo serve

Heavy Financial Storms Confronting
New Administration as Result of
Treasury Order Number 5 Which
Gives New York Banks Receipts
NEW YOHK, Feb. 7. 1'owlblllty
of heavy financial storms confront
ing the administration of President
Woodrow Wilson soon after his In
auguration March 4, unless congress
Investigates the causa and purport
of "treasury circular number 5," Is
seen hero today by Kudolph Sprcckcls
a millionaire of San Francisco.
"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. The effect of the withdrawal
of so many millions is bound to causa
financial difficulties.
"I bcllovo tho people aro entitled
to know who Is responsible for tho
plan and why It was put out at this
time. On the face of- tho order
there Is no specific provision that tho
banks shall give security for the de
posits er proven -that they shall-pay
Interest."
