ABOLITION OF THE FRAUD ROLL.

Reports from Washington yesterday were to the
eject that the Commission of Inquiry which has
been investigating the departments of the customs
Service for two weeks had recommended that the
= fraud roll" be abolished. This branch of the
service was established in 1879 when it was
provided that an Appropriation of $lQ0,0 900 should
Be made ann uay to provide special lot of officers
for the detection and greyentioa Of frauds upon
fhe customs revenue" This action was advised by
{hs Secretary of the Treasury and the Special
Agency Bureau because neither the Department nor
Eolectors of customs had any fund tn use in detec
live work that was necessary. There only seven
81 these special officers attached TO the Special
Agency Bureau here, but there Others in all of
khe collection districts Of the country and they
have done great deal of detective and other work:
The Commission made the recommendation of
fbolisbing that branch upon the assumption that
She officers had not the authority they would have
n regularly appointed as regular inspectors. II is
jntmsted that there Is sign6csnee IN recommend
Ing ct this time the abolshing of the fraud roll"
Fhe officers would thus be dismissed from the ser
