SHAW DENIES REPORT
Secretary Of the Treasury Strong
w FavorS Civil Service Al.
legation False.

Washington. July 22.-The following
statement was made public at the office
of the secretary Of the treasury today:
Numerous inquiries have been re
ceived at the treasury department rela-
tive to the truth or falsity Of the alleged
assertion of Secretary Shaw that he was
in favor of a five-year limit for service
in the treasury department
''The original newspaper article and
those that followed it, stating that the
secretary believed a departmental en-
ploye lost his usefulness after five years
in the government work. were so ridicu-
lousy improbable that they were never
dignified by a denial.
THAT a great many people have taken
these articles seriously has been demon
strated by the number OF inquiries, not
only from Washington. but from all over
the country
To avoid any further miscOnception of
the facts in the case, ii may be announced
on absolute authority that no such re-
mark or expression was ever made by
Secretary Shaw, and that the articles
purporting to represent his attitude as a
headsman are made out of whole cloth.
equal authority that Secretary Shaw is
heartily in accord with the civil service
IN every respect. AS an illustration of
his attitude on matters of personnel may
be cited his signing yesterday OF a set
OF regulations placing the laborers and
other unSkiiled positions under the con-
troll OF the civil service commission, re-
moving thereby the last bit Of patrona &c
at the disposal of the secretary Of the
treasury

During his administration It is un-

AS to Mr.. Taft, quote from a let

Catholic priest living in the Archipel-

Kinnon:
" can assure you nothing could be
more unjust than the criticisms of
Governor Taft appearing in some
Catholic papers. Governor Taft has
not particle of bigotry in his make

" In all his acts here I defy any
one to say he has shown himself pref

PERRAULT SAYS HIS TRIAL
WAS "STAR CHAMBER" AFFAIR
Looking For a CondeScending Senator to Tell His
Troubles To---Has New Slogan.
Preparing For His Waterloo Turns Deaf Eato His
Appea-Cause Hopeless One

ing Republican senator or representa-
tive through whom he can secure a
congressional investigation of his case
He believes that the issues are Of SUI
flcient Importance to warrant recogni-
ton by congress: not only the charges
of violation OF the civil service law, but
that congress should determine wheth-
er an official can be removed on charges
made by persons unknown TO him,
which charges he has no opportunity
to see and carefully examine.
He could no doubt induce one of the
present Idaho senators TO champion his
case, but does not like the idea OF hav-
ing such an investigation brought
about through Democratic influence.
As a matter Of fact, congress will not
take cognizance of the appeals OF Per
rault. The president did not act hasti-
" in this matter; the case was not
made up hurriedly; the charges were
of long standing, and were perfectly
well known TO Perrault, who knew
most, if not all of his accusers, and
knew what their statements were, in a
general way.
The case was reopened last winter
on evidence exactly similar to much
that had gone before, but which had
failed to produce results. Perrauit was
not dismissed for INSTRUMENTATION, but
for violating the civil service rules in
! a fragrant and defiant manner. His rec
ord as an executive officer was good
and in the land Office there seemed to
be no doubt as to his ability to I'LL his

But even efficient officers are bound

SPECIAL to The Herald.O

uIASHINGTON, July 22.-Joseph
w Perrault, late surveyor general
of Idaho, is inclined to prolong
his fight with the administration and
not peacefully abide by the recent de-
cision of the. president that he shall no
longer hold government Offices
Perrauit is moving in several direc-
tions simultaneously, in the hope of
concentrating all his issues in a grand
finale, which he hopes viii restore him
to Office. Not long since he denied the
charge of violating the civil service
rules. He has since dropped that cry,
and gone on another tack.
According to the latest outburst of
the late surveyor general, he was re-
moved from office not because of vio-
lating the civil service law, but for in
subor6ination.' He declined to make
answer to charges that were made
against him by unknown persons, -
and contends that the president or
dered his removal solely for this re-
fusaI
The incident referred to was the in
vesugatiOn conducted by the civil serv-
ice commission, at which a number of
witnesses were examined Each wit
ness was heard separately, and his tes-
timony was not recorded.
Perrault was not allowed to hear this
testimony when given, in order that
he might reply as different points were
raised When all the testimony desired
had been collected, Perrault was called
upon TO appear in a similar isolated
manner and answer the charges
He refused to be put through what he
termed star chamber process de-
Ginning to answer charges which he
could not examine. and which were
lodged by persons unknown to him
All of this, he alleges, is undemocratic,
unrepublican and uneverything char
acteristic of republican form of gov
eminent.
The aggrieved Mr.. Perrault is now
looking about to find some condescend-

THE ignorant Republican who has
been saying that the Democratic
party in Utah is as dead as the
last dinosaur, should have visited
Saltair yesterday. 1t was Democratic
day at the big lake resort, and from
all sections of the state the clans gath
cred. JerroId Letcher of San Juan, the
noted boy orator, breathed the fresh
salt breezes ard sighed because there
was no more lunch to conquer. Mayor
Tom Taylor of Provo left the hurry
ing, bustling Utah county metropolis
long enough to mingle with his
brothers in the faith for a few hours.
Mayor Taylor spent part of his time
in the lake and the rest of it talking
about his new $1,000 horse. but he is
sure Democratic victory is In the air.
There were others. Salt Lake and
Ogden furnished large quotas. The
train that left the station here at 2:20
was more than comfortably filled The
same thing is true of the 4;20 train,
and at $40 and later more came to
swell the crowds in the pavilion Most
of them were Democrats, and those

1t had been the intention of the COM

New York, July 22.-The chancellor
of the British exchequer may net a
goodIy sum. says a World dispatch
from London, from the estate of JoifN

British government is not entitled 10

not naturaIized, she is domiclled IN

A death duty must be paid on all

nearly $1O.000.00O.
