WAsHIxarox CRY. July 22-Secretary
Carlisle this morning authorized the
Associated Press to state that he fully APP
proves the policy pursued in his absence
by Acting MINT Director Preston in pur-
chasing silver, and that the same policy
will govern silver purchases in the imme-
diate future. This statement will cot at
rest the rumors that the secretary would,
on his return. reverse the policy of the
treasury in purchasing silver. Preston
Was entrusted by Secretary Carlisle
with entire discretion in the purchasing Of
silver when he left on his
vacation. This morning. with the APP
provai Of Secretary Carlisle, he refused to
purchase 10000 ounces OF silver at 20
cents. the London price being about 90
cents. This lot was part of q
lot offered yesterday at % cents,
and was declined and counter offer made
of ia cents. which the holder refused to
accept This morning he offered 100. 900
ounces at 20 cents. but Preston told the
ofIerer that he only purchased silver on
silver days. Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays.
The total silver purchased 90 far this
month 10 about 10000 ounces. besides
some local purchases. which may bring
the total up to 100000 1t is not ex-
pected that the total Of $500, 600
ounces will be purchased this month, but
this is not worrying the treasury officials,
n Secretary Carlisle holds with Preston,
that the Law does not require the treasury
to purchase that amount in case il 10 not
offered within the market price.

CHARGED WITH RAPE.
A Moody Young Man Arrested for
that 0fienSe.

Lawyer Sam B. Thomas filed an
application in the District court this
morning for writ of habeas corpus
in the case of j. M. Hastop, of
Moody, who was arrested at that
place last week on a charge of rape,
preferred by a Mrs. Baggett. The
writ was granted and the case will
be heard on the 18th.
Mr.. Haston belongs to an excel.
lent family in the Moody neighbor-
hood and has borne good charac-
ter hitherto. 1t appears that he
was working on farm owned by
MIR. Baggett, husband of the woman
who swore out the complaint, and
his counsel will attempt TO prove
that he was on terms of intimacy
with Mrs. Bagge,t for six months
at least; that the complainant did
not speak of the alleged rape until
ten days after she says it was com
mltted; and that her husband was
in the house at the time.
The Baggetts have not been lv'
ing at Moody long. Mrs. Baggett
is a young and attractive woman
and Haston is about % and pre-
possessing young man. He hal
been in jail here since his arrest.

have quiet, jolly time.
The cause of subdued mirth is
the preliminary hearing of S. ]
Walling, late cashier of the failed
City National bank of Brentwood,
who is charged with divers wrong
doings by some of the directors.
This was a hoard of directors
who didn't correct"
And there's where the fun
comes in.
Director John G. Bernay took up
tn 9 whole morning yesterday tell
ing what he didn't know about the
bank. He was one of the discount
committee aud knew nothing at all
about certa'n paper the Dank nad
negotiated until the paper was held
forth to his astonished gaze.
Mr.. w. w. Sammon, another di.
rector, talked good deal yesterday
afternoon and some more this morn.
ing. What he didn't know about
the bank would fill The News
several times.
Director Goodwin testified today
that he was not, in substance, Grim.
inally intimate with the deceased
bank. Nobody could accuse him
of that.
Some more directors will talk this
afternoon.
The funniest part of the whole
business is that Brentwood is 8
little town and the handkerchief
a-job passed the bank several time,
every day.
