SAY "HOD" TAYLOR
is ADAMS VICTIM

Seattle, Wash, Dec 5.-Dlrectol
Roberts OF the United States mint
and RI. A. CHod'D Taylor, assistant
secretary OF the treasury, are said to
be financially interested in A askau
banks which owned some OF the gold
which is said to have been stolen by
Cashier Adams Of the local assay OF
flee
Adams has been removed from tae
position and Frank A. Leach, super
intendent OF the San Francisco mint,
who started the Investigation, is in
charge. Frederick A. Wing, who was
in control of the Office and under
whom Adams worked is relieved OF
his work for the present.
1t is said that the amount of the al
legged defalcation has not yet been
discovered, and that the government
and not miners who owned the gold
will have to stand the Joss. Govern
ment officials say Adams stole only
from large packages, thus preventing
early discovery. 1t is believed the
thefts of which Adams is accused are
the largest of their kind on record.
