A FALSE STORY OF TILE WITHHOLDING OF PAY
MENTs on APPROVED CLAIMS.
Washington April - (specaD.-The ohcxpoded
story is again in circulation that there is shortage Of
available cash in the Treasury, and that discussing
officers have received Instructions to defer payments
upon all judgments by the Court OF Claims uhul the
expiration Of the three months period duing which
the Government has the right of appeal The story
goes to tell that southern member OF congress
visited the Treasury Department to urge payment Oh
certain direct tax claims which had been passed upon
favolably by the Court of Claims. lie was met with
the statement that the secretary had Issued
TO hold back payment OF all such claims uhu the
three months period had expired. This was nnsats
factory news to the Congressman. who endcavorcd 10
have the order revoked far his constituents were
concerned. lie made strong appeal IN their oehalI'
but 1t was useless Ii is understood that seveia o'her
Congressman have had similar experiences AT inc
Treasury Department lately"
The fact is that payment judgment by the
Court of Claims is due until the expiration OF
the three months period during which the Government
has the right of appeal and the Government Ire
quently suspchds payment longer by exercising that
right leading Treasury official, to whom the story
In its latest form shown, asked whether he

interviewed Treasury CLERKS to find out whether they
were paid promptly. and appeared somewhat sur
priscd when told that for months Treasury EN-
