HIS TYPEWRITER ADMITS THE
 CALLS STORY IS TRUE.

Major Horace A. Moore, special agent of the Treasury, with a too-demonstrative admiration for his stenographer, was not receiving callers yesterday with that cor diality that formerly was characteristic of the major In fact, he was not receiY- ing anybody except such Federal officials as found it necessary to visit him on de- partment matters.
 The exposure in --aSterday'S Call of the majors moral shortcomings had given that venerable lothario a fearful shock, and he kept the door leading to his pri- vate office tightly closed all day, where before it always stood invit- ingly open, When newspaper men sought to obtain statement from him regarding ington, the major sent word to them by his assistant that he had nothing to say at present, and when a note was sent in to him asking if he would deny the charges, he sent back an answer that at the proper time he would make his state ment, practically admitting that he knew the charges had gone on to Washington and that he expected to be called to ac- count by the Treasury officials.
 The young lady typewriter who was subjected to his insults remained pluckily at her post in the outer office, and though naturally dreading the unpleasant noto- riety, frankly admitted that the charges as outlined in The Call were true, and that they had been forwarued to Wash ington. Acting on the advice of her position, and if the department ordered an investigation of 4eAajor Moore'S con- duct she would unhesitatingly give her testimony as to his outrageous conduct She corrected the statement that Rolla V.

Col lector John F. Jackson was in unusually good humor when seen yesterday. and al- though he declined to say anything what eyer about the matter. or even ac5nowl- edge that he he vas hasn aware that formal Moore, he explained that if the Treasury Department should order an investiga tion he would probably be the one selected to festly improper to discuss the matter at all
 Rolla V. Watt worked himself into a temper when asked to throw some light on the charges and denied that he knew anything about them or had ever heard of the young lady in question, a statement said she had met MT. Watt. Then, al- though protesting that he would say abso- lutely nothing for publication, Mr. Watt admitted that he knew Major Moore quite we'll and close questioning brought out the admission that he had heard stories of the majors improper conduct, but had never paid any attention to them nor had he discussed them with the major.
 Meanwhile the Federal Brigade con- tinued to chortle over the majors down. fall, for the majors friends in the red brick building are not numbered by scores.
 Moreover the evidence against the ma Jor IS piling up. It appears that his fancy turned lightly to others than typewriters. Now that The Call has done public ser vice in making known the nature Of tnese official charges, the hitherto timid are coming forward with stories that are
