1t was developed that Miss Badgley had
been d sufferer from nervous troubles for
sometime, due it was thought, to the work
WHICH she performed. She was employed

transferred from the census office. She
was at work yesterday, though feeling I'M
well, and this morning she appeared at
work, as usual. She left the office about

SECRETARY CAGES POSITION.

Outlined.

outlined.
The recommendations of Secretary Gage
in his forthcoming report to Congress on
currency and financial questions are ex-
citing what is regarded by the Secretary as
premature discussion. A statement has been
made that the Secretary has addressed to
bankers number of confidential questions
seeking their views on the propositions to
refund the national debt into ~ per cent
gold bonds, to retire legal tenders and silver
notes, to sell gold bonds to strengthen the
gold reserve and to authorize national
banks to issue notes equal to value of bonds
deposited and rs per cent of capital stock
The Secretary was asked about the state
ments today. He was busy at a cabinet
meeting. and authorized Assistant Secre-
to questions of a Star reporter. Mr.. Van
derlip furnished the following statement,
denying that the questions alleged to have
been submitted in any way represent the
Views of the Secretary:
This alleged outline of the Secretary's
views represents nothing at all. There is
in it just shadow from some tentative
suggestions that were formulated last
spring. Even that shadow is so garbled
that its form bears practically no relation
to the suggestions that were then formu-
lated
When those suggestions were made they
were merely tentative outline for the
purpose chiefly of drawing out opinion from
high sources, and they at no time purported
to represent the mature Judgment of the
Secretary or the recommendations that he
will make to Congress.
Many valuable opinions and discussions
have been called forth. and without doubt
they have had more or less influence upon
the Secretarys views, SO that his position
today is not necessarily just what it was
when his suggestions were put out This
outline that has been printed ii 1t really
reflected his suggestions, would be, there
fore, yalueless.
1t does not represent correctly the sug
gestions which were made and If 1t did
represent these sugges tons accurately il
would still not necessarily be in line with
the views which the secretary will take in
his mess lye 10 Congress.
