The new Secretary of the Treasury has
hardly had time as yet TO make any
important changes in the organization
OF his Office. He Is a. very popular gentleman,
and much of his time since he has been in
office has been taken up with reading con-
gratulatory letters and receiving congratula-

the Treasury Department and transferring
the books and records thereof to the Com.
missioner of Customs. Other important
changes are likely to occur very soon.
