DOWLING'S REGULATION.
THE CASHIER OF THE NEW Or
LEANS MINT ARRESTED.
He Is Charged With Embezziing s25,-
900 of Uncle Samuel's Money-A
Clever Ruse to Cover Up
His Crime.

NEW ORLEANS. July 20.-James M.
Bowling, cashier of the United States
mint, this city, was arrested tonight on
an affidavit sworn out by the United
States secret service officials, charging
him with the embezzlement of $25, 900.
He was arraigued and held in $4,000
bonds. One Saturday late in June,
Dowling locked up as usual one of the
vaults containing a large sum of cur
rency. The vault is air-tight and burg
lar-proof. Monday morning when it was
opened 1t was discovered that there had
been fire. Nothing was damaged but q
tin box containing currency. All the bills
in this we're 30 badly burned as to be
beyond Identification. Three experts
were sent here from Washington and
after lengthy mioroscopical examina-
tion it was found that the remnants of
the money in the burned box didn't by
a large sum make up the amount that
was in it when supposedly locked up.
Dewling's arrest followed. Hehas been
in the employ of the government sev-
eral years and is quite prominent here,
being a son-in-law of the late Thomas
Anderson, one Of the members of the
famous Louisiana returning board Of
