Washington. d. c., May 5.--There is
availability that either the treasury
dsportment or the department of JUS
40, will take any part whatever In
40 forts of the directors OF the Utah
,-otonal bank to secure the apprehen-
,,o, of the person or persons response

Come weeks ago, the United States dis

agents OF the treasury to make an In
vestiration, but the encouragement
did not take kindly to the suggestion,
and the secretary of the treasury, when
his attention was directed to the mat
Tor promptly turned 1t down. The

Moves. If there has been criminal vio-
latlon of I'll enational bank law the de-
rartmont Will. of course, aid In the
prosecution of the suspected person, as
soon as he Is known.
sEFIRTS FAILURE.
Last week Frank Sefrit of Salt Lake
came to Washington with the patriotic
purpose of aiding the treasury depart
ment in any efforts it might make to-
wards bringing the guilty persons to
the bar of justice. He called on the
officials of the office OF the comptroller
of the currency. and claimed that he
possessed valuable Information which
would enable the comptroller to solve
the mystery. and to encompass the an
hest of the thief He was given every
opportunity to present his case, bu,
Hailed to reveal anything which has
mot appeared IN the public prints. He
twas full of rumors and suspicious, but
was apparently lacking in essential
fact, and the result was that he was
turned down.
It was suggested to Mr.. Sefrit that In
as much as the grand jury ~ inVesti-
eating the case, he might divulge any
Information in his possession to that
body, In order that the ends of JUS
tce may be best served. Such
course is open to him and the comp
rollers office was Of the opinion that
le could do more good in Utah than
lie possibly can in Washington. In
my event, as the shortage in the as
ets OF the bank has been made good,
md the banks capital is unimpaired,
there is nothing that Washington can
TO- until it is discovered how the
money went and who took it. Mr.. sef-

Manila, May 5.--The assembly has pc
gun the consideration OF the appropdrI1sa-
ton Commuters financial measures. Ihe
salary reductions are more sweeplns
than anticipated. The salary of the gov

The forestry bureau IL merged with
the lands department and the civii ser
vice has been merged with the auditing
bureau The American officials are most
seriously affected, and 4; Is believed the
commission will reject the majority or
the proposals, The American officials
and merchants are disturbed over the
proposals which many assert are clearly
racial and designed to make IT impossi-
bile for Americans to I'LL positions in the

that whatever the outcome may be, II
will prove difficult in the future TO

they are ready TO acknowledge the

the least pay, while the labor leaders
insist that all shall be paid the high
est wages alike, irrespective of their
several abilities--the poorest the same
