Ell PAso's CUSTOMS COLLECTOR
A Detective Watched His DoinRs for
Ten Weeks

ELPAso, Texas, June 15-Captain Moore,
a special treasury agent, has been here in
vestigating the charges made against the
management Of the custom house, and has
made a report to the department In which
he advises the immediate removal or Mr..
Clarke from the office of collector of GUS
toms. 1t is also understood positively
that the department has had secret
agent at work here for ten weeks, and
that Captain Moore was sent at the sug-
pestion Of the customs officials here.
Rumor also says that Mr.. Duebel, Col
lector Clarke's deputy, has already sent
his application to Washington Tor the
Office of collector, and that Mr.. Solomon
Schube has put In his oar Tor the special
treasury agency at this point. A man
who Is well posted regarding custOmhouse
affairs at FL Paso further says that Mr..
Clarke's bondsmen endeavOred TO persuade
Captain Moore to await Mr.. Clarke
return from his chase after Smugglers 70
give him a chance to defend himself; aud
further still, that the only Republican In
the city who had good word to say Tor
Collector Clarke was E. G. Roberts, eX-
city treasurer.
The secret agent visited the bridge on
a night and found 1t deserted. He stole a
United States bond seal from the ofiicel
whose duty 1t was to guard the same, anc
kept II under lock and key, and the officel
did not know the seal was gone until
twenty -four hours after 1T was taken.
Altogether IL looks rather serious fol
Mr.. Clarke's administration and his op
ponents are In his own political family
| The friends of Clarke deny that he vii
be asked to resign. They say that Mr.
| Clarke has number OF enemies In hi
own political camp who have been work
| ing day and night to injure him, since tn
day he secured the Office and was mnaDl
TO pive every Republican in FL Paso
| berth. There are no charges OF corrup
tion in office against Clarke, but his enc
mics are after him nevertheless.

considerable excitement all through,
especially when the Window boys
forged ahead in the first half Of the
last inning. But they were not equal
to the task Of holding their lead and
our boys went in and batted out the
game. The game viewed from the
standpoint of perfect play was sadly
deficient, the errors being as numerous
as the base hits. some Of our Worth
ington boys not being able to handle
any kind Of a hit. IN fact, errors on
both sides we're quite numerous. But
viewed from the standpoint Of fcloseness
the last few innings especially were Il
great success, and furnished the large

Every citizen is Interested in
having the exact truth in regard
to the effect of the Mckinley tariff
law. One of the objects of the re-
vision was to effect a reduction of
the revenue. A special statement
of July 9th concerning the receipts
of one day is quite significant.
The statement is:
"The receipts of the govern
ment, to-day, as given officially for
publication, aggregate $3.50, ,055.
It is a significant fact that more
than two-thirds of this enormous
income is from collections made
under the direction Of the commits
sioner of internal revenue. the
amount being 81, ,879, ,761, while the
customs receipts are $7OO,294.
This is q complete reversal of the
fiscal per diem reports from the
treasury department, showing that
the customs receipts under the
Mckinley bill are constantly de-
creasing, while the internal reve-
nue. receipts are constantly increas-
ing. As an evidence of the math-
ematical precision of the mind of
the author and sponsor of the Nc
Kinley bill, it is necessary to re-
member that in his final speech on
the measure Maj. Mckinley said
that in less than two years the re-
venue OF the government from GUS
toms or tariff duties would be less
by ono half than the revenues re-
ceived from the internal taxes"
