The watch force of the treasury is
perfectly organized, and the least in

the heavy responsibilities resting up
on them, and they are careful almost
to a fault. The watch is divided into
three reliefs, the tour Of duty lasting
for eight hours. However, the watch
does not anticipate an attack by rob-

How the Treasury Vaults at Washing
ton are Protected

Not a dollar has ever been taken
from the United States treasury by
force.
Perhaps the nearest approach to
footing the vaults Of the treasury was
the time Martin Broadfoot had his
plans about perfected. This was back
IN the eighties, and the plan was to
get into the building by means of the
great sewer which runs under and
near the treasury and is known as
the Fifteenth street sewer and which
grows larger as it enters the Potomac
about three-quarters Of "a mile from
the White House.
Broadfoot's plan, as developed aft
er his arrest, was to get into the
building, crack the safes and place
the money in large rubber bags and
float them down the sewer to the
Potomac, where his pals would be in
writing. These bags were found
in his room when he was arrested,
and secret service men had often
seen him walking along the shores Of
the Potomac near where the big sew
er empties. This sewer is about nine
feet in diameter where it passes the
treasury. A man could easily make
his way up the sewer through a
stream of water which under normal
conditions is only about twelve inches
deep. By entering the tunnel or sew
er at the river the journey to the
treasury could be made by keeping a
sharp lookout When the man or
men in the sewer reached the Fif-
teenth street sewer nothing would
separate them from the gold coin and
bullion except about eighteen feet of
earth and not too secure stone wall.
It was Broadfoot's scheme to dig his
way through this obstruction and to
let the earth float or wash down the
sewer. 1t would not have taken one
man more than two weeks, working
only at night, to have made an open
ening large enough for a man to
crawl through Of course Broadfoot
knew the exact location Of the vaults,
and when he once reached them he
would have had no trouble in getting
the gold coin and bullion. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY his purpose to fill the rubber
bags with the precious stuff and float
them down the sewer to the river,
where they would be looked after by

 They didn any of lem get off cheap save socialist candidates, who, accord. ing to their sworn statements
 Didn t spend a penny.
 The law states that the candidates shall file itemized bills of their expense within thirty days after election, but many of them failed to come through and they are guilty of misdemeanor or if any person cared to push the case But those that haven't filed their statements have the satisfaction. at least, of knowing that they have not perjured themselves.
 Here are the statements of some of the boys as they appear on record in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors:
 Ed Stewart, candidate for recorder on the democratic ticket-$450. J. s. Miles, candidate for supervisor on the democratic ticket-$295.
 Hinson Thomas, candidate for justice of the peace, Globe precinct, on the democratic ticket-$379.
 D. R. Williamson, republican candi. date for treasurer--$472.
 J. R. Bennett, socialist candidate for justice of the peace, Warrior precinct -$2.50.

 II. H. Pratt, republican candidate for justice of the peace, Globe precinct $173.
 J. II. Thompson, democratic candi. date for sheriff-$l775..
 Pat Rose, democratic candidate for supervisor-$404.
 A goodly portion of the money ex- pended was turned over to the respec- tive county central committees to de fray the general expenses of the cam paign. For instance, Sheriff Thompson was assessed s730 by the democratic county central committee. And the other boys were compelled to take a dose of the same medicine.
