effect. The salaries paid the reduc
ed and dismissed men range from 81
day to $4,000 per annum.
All the .dismissals were made grad
ually and only after consultation
with the secretary of the treasury
who said that while many of thu
charges were on account OF th'
frauds and corruption 1t was NO
| true of all of them.

ry Macveagh, have been filed.
