transactions of Promoter e. T. Hooley

Hooley's meteoric financial career
and heavy failure were the sensation Of

greatest luxury. In the course Of hear

whole transactions by Hooley and his
colleagues as fraudulent and declared:
ct is a grave reflection on the courts
of this country that such thing should
occur in the middle of London. Thin

But there is nothing to prevent the
county auditors from placing the as
sessment on their books without any
such certitication. In fact, it is their
duty to do so, or they may in fact
make the assessment themselves, and If
they fail to spread it on the books
the county treasurers may do so, or II
they fail the tax ferrets may get in
their work. In this way it remains
pretty certain that the taxes will be
collected no matter what the courts
do.

General Miles Issues Order Against
Practice in Military Service.


Washington. Aug. S.-General Nell
son A Miles has issued an order. with
the approval of the secretary of war,
to prevent the docking" of horses IN
the military service. General Miles
regards this practice as brutal, and
on this point he and the president
agree, as President Roosevelt has al
ways refused to allow the tails of his
horses to be docked, despite the fact
that the dictates OF fashion favor
docking" In the orders it is pro-
vided: ANY alterations in the length
or shape of the tails. names or fore
locks of public horses by docking,
banging or clipping is hereby prohibits
ed. and only such reasonable trimming
and plucking as may be necessary to
prevent shagginess of appearance Will
be permitted"

to construct building FOR the eS-

It is the duty Of all these auditors to
scrutinize accounts and give approval
to various expenditures before the
same are passed. An appeal lies from
these auditors to the comptroller OF the
treasury.
Recent developments in the postof-

It will be urged by treasury onlciais
behind the movement that by utlllzlne

tice a substantial building can zoe
erected at "a slight cost to the govern
ment. The COMPTROLLER of the currency
is not subordinate to the secretary OF
the treasury, and his divorce from the
treasury department building would not
be opposed by any one. The rooms now
occupied in the treasury building by
his bureau could well be utilized to re-

visions. but the principal object to be
accomplished is to remove the auditors
from the atmosphere and influences OF
the treasury building and isolate them
