No 1417 G Street. N. W..
Washington, d. c., May 14th.
The three departments OF the govern
ment which are affected by the bank
rnntcy proceedings of the Trigg Com
pany are considerably wrought up over
The status of tho case at this tune.
Al the Treasury Department, Captain
Shoemaker. chief of the revenue cutter
service. for which service the Mohawk Is
Being built, said that they would Ike TO
20 ahead and tow their boat up here to
Washington and Mt 1t up, but that 1t is
in the hands Of the court, so that they
will have to await Its action before they
could do anything.
They are very anxious to have their
boat finished and put in commission, as
there Is q pressing need for it. He said
that the next forty-eight or fifty hours
would probably serve to shape matters
80 that they could take some definite
action.
The War Department, for which the
Trigg Company was building a dredging
boat, Is anxiously awaiting advices from
the army officer who represents the engi-
neer corps In Richmond before taking any
definite steps.
Captain Patrick, Of the corps of engi-
neers. told The Times Dispatch CORE
sncndent to-day that they hoped to have
some definite advice on the subject pv
Monday.
Navy Department, said to-day that no
ARRANGEMENTS would or could be made
with reference to towing the Galveston
TO Norfolk pending the decision OF the
United States Court In the matter. Inc
steps that had been taken already, ne
said, were simply to annul the CONTRACT
with the Trigg Company, and that the
dere rtment would have to await the ac-
zion OF the court before making any fur-
Their arrangements for Its maj co1npie-
ton.
The officials OF neither Of the three de-
partments have any hopes that the Trigg
Company can finish their contracts, ana
IRE looking towards the bondsmen OF the
company to secure them against loss.
MILLIONS BEAT HIM
W. G. Conrad and family. now OF Mon
tnna. but who are natives OF Clarke coun-
ty, are at the New Willard. They are, on
their way to Clarke, where they go to
spend the summer. and where MT. conrad
owns a large cou%1xy home.
Mr.. Conrad left the Old Dominion many
years ago, and has grown up rich with
the country. But for the millions Of w
a. Clarke, Mr.. Conrad would probably
be representing Montana in the United
States Senate to-day
