A Leak in the Treasury.

A true bill has been found against Mrs
Ernestlne Becker for the larceny of s944
from the treasury department. Great inter
est is felt in tho case here to know how the
thefts were managed, and it is supposed
taai the 1914 is only small part of what
the government los:. 1t has been diseouered
that for some years Mrs. Becker has been
buying property ard accumulatng money on
a very small salary. 1t was supposed that
the system at the treasury was such that no
theft could occur, as all the money that
goes in or out of the department is counted
twenty-five times. But here was a woman
who carried gu the operation for years. The
treasury officials are very anxious to find ou,
first whore the leak could occur.
