FOUR LAWS
and the Statutory Crime OF EN-
bezzIement Committed.
(New York World }

(New York World.)
The proceeds of the sale of the custom
house in New York city were deposited
with the National City bank.-Secre-
tary Gage in a dictated statement to
the Philadelphia North American.
The very large payment of the bank,
some $3,0000O0, to the government has
been deposited by the government with
the bank.-President Stillman, of the
Standard Oil bank, in the Herald.
Here is the testimony of both parties
to the transaction by which the Stan
dard Oil bank became the owner of the
governments custom. house at New
York, became the landlord of the
government, collecting rent from it and
getting $3,225,350 of the purchase price
as free deposit. There can now be
not the slightest doubt in any mind.
Mr. Gage says 1t was within the
proprieties" to say to the Standard Oil
bank: Take the governments custom
house and the government will pay you
rent for 1t. And, also, instead of pay
ing the government per cent interest
on the unpaid purchase price, just
credit yourself with a free government
deposit of $3,225, $50, which you can loan
out at interest for your own profit"
Mr.. Cages view of "the proprieties'
OF this transaction are most valuable in
enabling the public TO judge Mr.. Cages
sense of public morality and public
propriety. But more than "the pro-
prieties' is involved.
Four United States statutes directly
apply to the transaction. Three of
the-Section 3617 and section 1918 of the
Revised Statutes and chapter 337 of the

including the city proper and all ad-

The extent of the fictitious boom is
by the fact that the ex-
clusion of two-fifths ofthe present area
OF the city will throw but about 200
people out of the city limits and will |
deprive the municipality of but $44S
of city taxes. The city engineer has
recommended that sixteen additions
be thrown out in order to avoid the
expense of keeping up the bridges and
streets in them.
