WARRANTS MUST PREcEDE PAY
No Authority Otherwise for subsist-
ence of PrisOnera.

Robert j. Tracewell, Comptroller of the
Treasury, decided yesterday that Fred
erick W Collins. United States Marshal
at Jackson, Miss, had no authority to
pay out of the appropriation for support
of prisoners of the United States courts
the accounts of jailers for subsistence
furnished to persons confined in county
jails by postoftice inspectors, before war
rants are issued by United States Com
missioners.
In passing upon the question Comptrol-
Ter Tracewel said. IN part: 1T is gen
orally understood. and so held in all cases
where authority is exercised by a special
class Of officers in the arrest of persons
for violations of the law of the United
States. that ali expenses in
cident to such arrests are de-
frayed by the Government and
paid out of appropriations made for GER
tain purposes, and not until prisoners
come into the custody of the United
States Marshal by virtue of duly recog-
nized authority can il be said tina. a ju-
dietary appropriation may be available
for the payment OF SUCH expenses
Mr.. Tracewell, in refusing to pay the
accounts in question, says: In the case
of violations of the postal laws j am in
tl4dl the OF the 1OStOllcc
Department in the case of arrests by post
Office inspectors is TO pay all proper ex-
penses incident TO arrests made by them,
such as transportation and subsistence of
prisoners. upon accounts duly presented
by such inspectors out of the general APP
preparation for mail depredations ard
postofiice inspectors. under the control of
the Postmaster General. Accordingly you
are not authorized to pay the accounts in
question"
The case which caused the above decis-
ion Of the Comptroller of the Treasury
is described as follows: w. NJ. Warren,
postofice inspector. on three different
occasions arrested three persons, without
a commissioners warrant, for alleged vio-
lations of the postal laws, and lodged
them in jail to be detained until ne could
reach commissioner and get a warrant
and until the marshal could serve the
same and take the accused before a COM
missioner. This was done TO prevent the
escape of the accused pending the issu-
ance of a warrant by the commissioner
After these prisoners Were lodged in jail
the inspector proceeded to the United
States Commissioner and obtained the us
ual warrants Of arrest, with which the
deputy marshal proceeded to the jails,
took the defendants into custody and
transported them to the nearest commits
sioner for trial.

EXAMINING THE INVOICES.
Appraiser Wakeman Investigating
the Alleged Silk Frauds.
No Official Report Yet Made Rcgnrd-
Ing the Inspcction-NOt In Posi-
ton to State Now Exactly What
Importing Firms Are Implicated.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2e-No official re-
ports have been made today concerning
the invoice of silks which was sent to
the office Of the collector of the port on
Saturday and which appears to the ap-
praiser to exhibit certain discrepancies
a general and thorough investigation of
all consignments is, however, being made,
as well as the most minute examination
of the conduct of the import department
Wilbur f. wakeman, the appraiser of
the port. said this morning: There have
been no official returns from Saturday
invoice of silks of which l considered the
values to be doubtful. While the fraud
practiced upon the department is. in my
belief. limited to a certain rather small
circle of importers, am at present max
ing the most searching inspection of all
shipments in my hands, weighing all silk
with such care that the wrappers and
bindings Of all descriptions are now re-
moved. In case of any leaning toward
overweight to the extent of a couple of
pounds. l give the importer the benefit OF
the weighing. | wish to appear in TINS
matter as assuming the most liberal po-
sition possible
When asked what firms were impli-
Gated in the situation, Mr.. Wakeman said:
1T would be impossible for me to say
just what firms are seriously concerned.
AS | said, they are small number, but
the necessity of a complete investiga-
ton is, of course, present. If l should
name the houses under the cloud it would
naturally be disastrous to their credit,
and / wish to allow them every possible
loophole for justification.
AT the same time / have spared no time
in the investigation of their cases and
may say that ] think have them-if l
may say it-cinched.
Mr.. Wakeman was asked if he would
say anything concerning the changes in
the department He replied: THE de-
partment has been, and is now being,
subject to the most complete scrutiny.
1 should not positively say that there viii
be radical changes or transpositions in
the future. but l am fair. l think, in
have only been after a thorough and i'm
partial research and that 1 am sure /
have made no mistakes in my course of
action.
The other matter concerning the i'm
porters, must be settled at once, and Mr..
Bidwei and / shall consider II at the
earliest moment.
When asked whether the silk firms i'm
plicated had as yet offered an argument
In their own behalf, or brought forward
any explanation of the apparent differ
lnces between invoice ana goods, Mr..
Wakeman smiled broadly.
''Oh. no." he said positively: Il have
