CoNSULS CONCEAL AND LOSE.
One Unexpected Result of the Law to
ReOrEanize the Consular
Service.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-One Of the un-
expected results of the consular reorganiZa-
ton act now being placed in operation is
the discontinue of some consular officers
who have been concealing the actual
amount of the unofficial fees OF their Of
fees. The practice was not dishonest In
one sense. for the consuls are in many
cases permitted to retain all such fees.
But for the sake of the records of the de-
partment and in order TO enable the ON
cials to know the state of business of the
consulates II was required that all such
fees should be accounted for. Some con-
suls feared that to publish the amount of
such fees they received would be TO make
their Offices too attractive TO officeseekers
so they failed to make the fun returns
Their punishment came when congress
passed the reorganization act on the basis
OF substitution to lump salaries for the
combined salary and fee system OF com
pensaton. There was no intention Of re-
ducing the compensation Of many Of the
consuls, but It has naturally followed that
the consuls who failed to return their full
fees have suffered a substantial reduction.
