ANNEX MAY BE
ASKED IN FALL
Necessary to Rent Space in Pri-
vate Buildings, So Much Has
Business Grown.

Notwithstanding that the Auditor for
the Interior Department and his force
Of clerks, numbering I13. Will be
moved from the Treasury Department
into their new quarters in the Union
building in G street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets northwest, September !,
the Treasury will be still crowded for
space.
The work of moving the Auditor
Office is now going on, and the visitors
to the Treasury are made aware of
this by the presence of clerks and desks
in the corridors. The files of the In
terror Department alone occupy 1900
square feet Of space in the fourth cor
ridor of the building on the Fifteenth
street side and in the middle corridor
on the fourth floor. And every inch Of
this space viii be used just as soon as
the necessary changes can be made and
the rooms fitted up for the clerks.
The growth OF the business Of the
Treasury Department has been so pro-
nounced within the last few years that
II has become necessary to rent space
IN the various office buildings TO enable
the several bureaus. Of the department
to transact the public business. With
the LGLluNdl u LllS AOICe OF the <AuNlLol
for the Interior Department and the
1900 square feet that viii be available.
the Treasury officials will not have any
more space than can be used This is
explained by the statement that within
three years more than three hundred
employees have been added to the force.
and at present there has been a large
addition made necessary by the Iegis-
lation providing for the emergency cur
rency and the putting in of new ma
chinery.
II is not improbable that at the next
session Of Congress the Secretary of
the Treasury will ask for an appropria-
ton to provide for an additional build
ing for the use Of the Treasury De-
partment, so that the numerous divi-
sions and bureaus of the department
can be housed under one building in
stead Of scattered in several private Of

feet it had in the first trial and it was
by this testimony that the prisoner
was acquitted of the charge Of murder.
When the news Of acQuittal was re
ceived in this place the greatest sur
prise was manifested and the report
could hardly be believed. Then came
the reports that money had been used
to free Dwyer and IN this connection
the name OF Sheriff Murphy was men
toned.
The bondsmen OF the Sheriff looked
up the matter and when they discov-
cred that Murphy had reversed his:
testimony of the former trial they
served an immediate notice to the
commissioners that they wished TO be
taken off the Sheriff's bond. With
this announcement came the resigna-
ton OF Murphy. wnich was immedi-
ately accepted by the Boe~d Of County
Commissioners
The affair has caused one Of the
greatest sensations that has been
sprung in this section in some time
and feeling is high against the resign

ed as one OF the most atrociOus crimes
, ever committed in this county and the
fact that the man who committed the

a former occasion. has caused many
bad rumors to be circulated.
