THIEVES ARE NOT IMMUNE.
Assistant Secretary Norton Denies
Treasury Story.

Assistant Secretary Norton of the
Treasury vigorously denies a story that
subtreasury clerks may rob the govern
ment and escape punishment. This is
what Mr.. Norton said about 1t today:
cit is not necessary to deny the state
ment published in some Of this MORN
ing's newspapers that thieves and en-
bezzlers in subtreasuries are immune.
The records Of federal penitentiaries
prove the contrary.
1T is true that the Treasury is urging
changes in the laws affecting subtreas-
ury operations and is making important
changes in the business methods, physical
arrangements and the system of bonding
employees in subtreasuries. AS matter
of fact, for more than one hundred years
the Treasury and subtreasury officials
and employees Of all grades have handled
their trust with remarkable skill and
fidelity, even under trying and difficult
conditions. Congress is showing every
disposition to cooperate with the depart
ment in it's effort TO improve those con-
ditions
1.-The manufacture. distribution and
custody Of our money must be managed
with the utmost possible safety to the
Treasury, convenience to the public and
regard for the health of employees

NOT TO HOLD THE VENUS.
Secretary Nagel Says U. s. Cannot
Act in Case of Steamer.

No effort will be made by the United
States government to prevent the British
steamer Venus. now at New Orleans, and
which is alleged to be loaded with rifles
and coal. from sailing for Greytown,
Nicaragua. Protests against the issu-
ance of clearing papers to the master of
the vessel were made to Collector of
Customs Mccall at New Orleans by the
agent Of Estrada at that port
After receiving the protests Collector
Mccall telegraphed to Washington for
advice. The matter was taken under
advisement by Secretary Nagel OF the
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
and he has reached the decision that the
government could not refuse clearance
papers. He based his ruling on the
ground that there was no evidence or q
military organization aboard the steamer,
The decision has been telegraphed to
Collector Mccall.
It is understood that the munitions of
war are to be used by the Madrix forces
in an attempt to capture Blueflelds, the
stronghold OF the Estrada party.
