 WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-Several expert bookkeepers are making thorough exami- nation of the books in the redemption division of the treasury with view to determining the extent of the robbery in that division. While only discrepancy of $944 has been discovered, it is thought that the robbery, which has been systematic and extended back for some time, amounts to a larger sum, which the investigation now in progress will disclose. Treasurer Hyatt has been reim- bursed by Mrs. Becker with S944 The count, however, could only go back two W eeks, as the money redeemed before that time was destroyed by being macerateds
 The woman has, it is thought, been guilty of taking money for some time. The case has been placed in the hands of the district attorney, but it Is not thought that sufficient evidence can be produced to convict her, all of it being, unless she confesses, of circum- stantial character. It has developed that she took $20 out of every $100 packages. Several employees are now under surveil- lance. Treasury officials will not talk on the matter, and this gives rise to many rumors of an exaggerated character. Facts are almost unobtainable.
