the Treasury Department on account of
the recent dismissals.
Doings Of the Secretary in connection
with the customs and immigration ser
vice at New York have naturally inter
ested the President in special man
ner, since the politics of Mr.. Roosevelts
9Rn State is involved.
When Secretary Shaw was permitted
by the President and Senator T. C. Plat
TO make his own selections of three men
for assistant appraiserships at New
York recently, it was said Mr.. Shaw in
tended to consider merit alone The re-
sulE was that one OF the candidates fail
ed g. be confirmed by the Senate and was
later rejected by The President and an
other is now under investigation by See
retary Shaw himself. although he has
held Office only fortnight.
In connection with the report that the
President administered severe rebUtse
10 Mr. Shaw, it was said many Cabinet
ministers would have resigned under
the same circumstances. This remark
was made to strengthen the statement
that the President had spoken with char
aeteristic feeling and direetness. and had
not minced words with the Secretary.
