RASCALS IN A MINT
SHORTAGES AGGREGATING 100000

Gold Abstractcd During the Pro-
cess Of Making Bars.

CARSON, New, April 5.--Superintendent
Mason of the government assay Office in
New York, has been in full charge of the
mint scandal investigation here for two
weeks. He has already discovered short
ages that approximate 100000 and all the
suspected melts have not yet been exam
ined. The town is full of secret service de-
tectives under control of Agent Grant of
Chicago, and they are shadowing suspected
officials and learning the history Of their
extravagant habits. None of those sus-
pected can escape. The greatest steal dis
covered was unearthed by Superintendent
Mason few days ago. He found that one
run or melt. which purported to contain
1900 ounces, half gold half silver had but
forty ounces of gold. The shortage on this
fraudulent melt, therefore, was about s22,-
900. The principal man under suspicion is
a melter and refiner, John Jones, who has
been in Office under Hrsch Harris, and who
came to him as a hold-over from the Harri-
work on Joness record and claim to have
discovered that he has been spending $500
to $500 month, on income of SIPS. He
was first suspected by Hirsch Harris. Har-
riS relied largely on Jones, the practical
man in the department, but grew very sus-
picious when bars that ought to have come
out with a large percentage of gold. were
returned nearly pure silver. He reported
this shortage to Ex-Governor Bewell Ad-
ans, superintendent of the mint. The short
Preston, superintendent of the mint at
Washington, and expert aSsayer Mason
was forthwith dispatched here to investi-
gate. The crimes were committed by the
substitution of bars and it is known that
the frauds extend over period of five or

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The mint and
the secret service officials are reticent in
regard to the defalcatons at the Carson
mint. 1t is learned, however, that, up to
this time, shortages in gold have been dis
covered aggregating 4,072 ounces, which is
$50, 900. In nearly all of the cases gold was
abstracted during the process. of making

Ex-Mayor Hewitt Predicts Time

NEW YORK, April 5.-The fourteenth
commencement of the New York trade
schools was held last night. After the pre-
sentation of diplomas, ex-Mayor Hewitt
was introduced. He said in part:
IF you ask whether it is the right of
workingmen to associate together for their
general welfare and to increase the wages
of labor, then / say yes. It is not only
their right but their duty. But it is when
the trade union steps beyond the pale of
the law and assumes the right to compel
or prevent labor that it violates the funda-
mental principles of human liberty and
Christianity. So also has the employer the
right to combine with Others but when he
oversteps the law, then he has violated the
principles on which the Constitution rests.

 As hate as July Il, is27.5two men from Vermont said to be descendants of an ante Revolutionary witch named Strickland, dug by the side of what is now Law fences wharf for buried gold, by the ad vice of some of their forefathers who dug there before them in the seventeen hun dreds.
