NEW YORK BANKER ARRESTED.
George f. Eaton Charged With
Attempt to Bride Official.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. June 15.-Chief Wilkie of the
Secret Service received a dispatch from
Corning. n. Y. tonight announcing the ar
rest there of George E. Eaton. cashier of
the Van Denning Bank. on a charge of
attempted bribery of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Taylor in the matter of the
purchase of a Post Office site in Corning.
On May 2 letter was received at the
Treasury Department addressed to H. c.

that he had property available for a Post
Office site in Corning for which Congress
had appropriated the sum of $1,000.
1t gave a description of the property
which he had to sell and stated that its
total cost to him was Sl3. 600. while he would
sell to the Government for the amount ap-
propriated by Compensation.
Then followed the open proposition that
while he (Eaton) would retain 81. 600 of the
profit. he was willing that the other s1.00o
should go to '.incidentals'' or any other
purpose which Mr. Taylor might designate.
This was considered sufficient cause for
action by Solicitor O'Connell and the mat
ter was referred at once to Chief Wilkie.
