The reply Of Perry S. Heath ex- First

by many TO be unconvincing, because Mr.

Among them are the following:
That Mr.. Heath sent his chief clerk

Secret Service officers have been in
formed of the arrest of Mary and Will

couple had in their possession $5 000
worth of counterfeit bills, all of the So

The arrests were made by the munici-

Service officers from St. Louis have gone
to Hot Springs to investigate the case.
The Brooks are believed to be the
leaders of a gang of counterfeiters hav-

Liberty last week and counterfeit money
was recovered which undoubtedly was
made by the same persons who manu-
factured that in the possession of the
Brooks.
The counterfeits were of the pho
tographic type, and. therefore, easily
detected. Secret Service officers are de-
termined TO capture the entire gang.

After the Boxer disturbances the Chi

On the portion given to the United
States is located a temple and other
buildings. Congress appropriated money
TO erect new home for the legation.
but it was apparent TO Minister Con
ger that this building would not be
completed soon enough TO suit the Ko-
reans, who have come into possession of
the property now occupied by the United

Minister Conger. therefore, Immediate
ly began Improvements on the temple.
After the new legation buildings are
completed the renovated temple will be
used as. headquarters for student inter-

The point of law decided by Comp
troller Traceweil leaves some doubt in
the mind of the auditor who has TO pass
upon the expenditures for the improve
ments to the temple
The statutes say that money shall only
be used for the purposes for which it
was appropriated. At the same time the
improvements will answer the same pur-
pose as the payment of rent. inasmuch
as tie completion of the temple legation
eliminates the expense of. rent. and ii is
held that the appropriation is available
