WILLIAM S. LEIB OUT.
Assistant United States Treasurer at
Philadelphia Is Dismissed
by President

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 81
President Roosevelt removed from office
William S. Leib. assistant United States
treasurer at Philadelphia, for constant
and persistent violation of the civil serv-
ice law while in office"
Hurts Charges at Leib.
In his letter to Mr.. Leib, the Presi-
dent says: 1T appears to me very
clear that there has been a constant
effort on your part to evade the pro-
visions of the civil service law, to ham
per its workings as far as possible, and
to obstruct in every way the action of
the commission.
Under these circumstances of persist
cnce IN wrong doing on your part it
seems to me that there is no alternative
but to remove you from office You are
accordingly hereby removed from the po-
sltlon of assistant treasurer of the United
States -
Kept Relatives in Jobs.
The Presidents letter continues in a
severe tone as follows:
By taking advantage of these technicaIi-
ties you have kept upon the roll in almost
continuous positions certain of your own
relatives and at least one person whose ap-
pointment was evidently pressed merely for
political reasons, instead of making all
1t clearly appears that in one examna-
ton held upon information furnished by
your office there was such clear evidence
of fraud that it had to be Cancelled. The
evidence as to the fraudulent character of
the examination implicated your sister, two
persons from your own town and one per-
son who was at that time serving in your
office under. temporary appointment and
who was subsequently dismissed from the
service for swearing falsely.
Refused to Take Warning.
After referring to the rebuke admin
istered to Leib by Secretary Shaw, the
President continues:
If the case had at that time been called
to my attention, my belief is that l would
then have requested your resignation
Most certainly, after receiving such a letter,
to which you failed in any way to make
any answer clearing yourself or traversng
the facts alleged by the secretary, it was
your duty SO to conduct your office that no
possible criticism could come upon you.
Instead of so conducting it, you have CON
tinued exactly the methods that previously
obtained.

girlish wishes come true at life's end.
Mrs M. Underhill of Osseo, Mich, had
been visiting her former schoolmate and
"chum,' Mrs. J. Hunt, at Calumet Park,
near Hammond, Ind. Shortly after her
arrival at Mrs. Hunts Mrs. Underhill
became i'll, and physicians decided TO OPP
crate on her. The operation. which took
place last week, proved fatal, and the
woman rallied only long enough 20 bid
her friend goodbye. The shock of the
death of her old school friend was too
much for Mrs. Hunt, and she was
stricken with heart failure shortly aft
erward, dying a few hours later: The
two bodies were shipped to Osseo, Mich,
for burial. When the two. WON
en- were schoolgirls together they are
said to have expressed the wish to die
together, neither caring to live after the
others death

HAWAII is SUFFERING.
Labor Question and United States Ship
ping Laws Prove Hard
ships.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 25.-Prince
kuhio Kalanianole of Hawaii, Repub-
Gcan delegate from Hawaii to the fifty
Honolulu. The prince said the labor
question now confronting Hawaii is most
serious.
Sugar Growing in Danger.
The sugar plantations are the chief in
dustries, in fact, the mainstay of the is
lands. Before annexation they depend
ed on Asiatic, mostly Chinese labor, and
now that Chinese were not admitted the
scarcity of labor has become Il serious
question, he said. Japanese were al
lowed to land, but were unstable and
unsatisfactory. Portuguese and Galici-
ans had been tried, though they did not
meet the requirements.
The prince said he favored the admis-
sion of certain number of Chinese I'M
der contract similar to the British sys-
TEN in the Transvaal, although he did
not know how the United States would
favor such Il scheme. Something had to
be done, as the planters were suffering
from lack of labor.
Suffer from Shipping Laws.
Hawaii also suffered by the operation
of the United States shipping laws, said
the prince. He did not think there was
sufficient American shipping to fill re-
agreements and the operation of the ship
ping laws worked hardship and caused
a loss. He thought it unjust, but had to
be borne, as the islands were now part
of the United States. Many people
were getting much money from this traf-
fc. The japanese who came to Hawaii
seemed to be the worst kind.
The prince said his election had been
contested by the defeated candidate, Ia
wakek. who claimed the election was
illegal. He said he would easily show
Its legality.
