NEW YORK, June ga Washington
special to tie Evening Post says: Mr.
Burchard, director of the mint, according to
present information has decided to test the
power of the president to remove him from
office. There are two Offices in the treasury
which were created by special statute, the
tenure of which. it is assumed, makes it
impossible for the president to suspend the
incumbents unless the senate shall consent.
The offices are those of the director Of the
mint and comptroller of the currency. The
law under which the director of the mint
receives his appointment is as follows: ale
shall be appointed by the president by and
with the advice and
CONSENT OF THE SENATE.
and shall hold his office for a term of five
years unless sooner removed by the presi-
dent upon reasons to be communicated by
him to the senate" The claim is that the
phraseology of this act differs from all gen.
eral statutes as to appointments and though
the director may be suspended during re-
cess his Office will revert to him should the
senate fail to confirm his successor. Those
who take contrary view maintain that the
special statute creating the Office did not so
mean it. Friends of the incumbent claim
that it Is in violation of the constitutional
right of the president to appoint to the
office. A request has been made for the
resignation of Mr.. Burchard and he will
UNDOUBTEDLY REFUSE
to resign. He is not in sympathy with
some of the financial views of Treasurer
Jordan and is in some respects opposed to
the secretary's policy. From the outset of
the administration he has interposed legal

1t has been the intention for some time to
secure his removal and his superiors were
not quite certain what effect would be given
TO the special statue under which he holds
office and it had been hoped he would re-
sign. Charges have been made against him.
Oneis that he Misunderstanding subordin-
ates to resign, others that he is
guilty of errors of judgment, inefficiency,
lack of executive ability and has been reck-
less in his management Of silver purchases.
Mr.. Burchard's friends hold that its due TO
himself
NOT TO EEsIGN
when such charges are made, nevertheless
Secretary Manning awaits his resignation.
Mr.. Burchard, as far as can be learned, does
not wish contest with the administration,
but intends to protect his own reputation
and has decided not TO retire in the face of
the charges. He has surrendered all the
political functions of his Office and claims
that he can support the financial policy of
the administration.

The Scarboro and Cape Elizabeth Farmers As
sociation was unfortunate in the postponement OF

chosen instead. Yesterday opened fairly and
nearly as largea number usually attend the first
day gathered at the grounds at Pleasant Hill.
But at noon drzzling rain set in and affairs as
sumed dreary aspect. The crowd staid how
ever and there were many new comers after ii
commenced to rain. Treasurer Haskell told them
there would probably be no races but they came
in just the same, but very few going away. The
races advertised for the first day were all post
poned and none came off with the exception OF
the independent one mentioned below. The
pulling match continued through the entire day,
and the cries of the drivers having and geeing"
their cattle filled the air as the PRESS reporter
left the grounds when it began to grow dark.
This contest was the longest and hardest ever
waged there and large crowd gave Marshal
Robinson lots of trouble in their endeavors to get
good view. 1t was the principal event Of the
day and all interest seemed to centre on 1t. The
committee did not make their report owing to the
lateness OF the hour. The winning teams Will be
