FORCEDOUT
Of GOVERNMENT lob
Cashier in Office of Surveyor
of Customs at Cincinnati
Is Dismissed.

Frank NJ. Golden, cashier in the Of
flee Of the surveyor OF customs at Gin
cinnati, whose name was prominently
mentioned in the Warmer embezzle-
ment scandal in the Big -Four railroad,
was discharged from the government
service today.
The temporary suspension of Couden
occurred several weeks ago. The order
making it permanent came from Secre-
tary MacVeagh, at Dublin. n. H., to AS
sistant Secretary Hii,es, Z. Washington,
today.
INSTRUMENTATION Is Charge.
Couden's removal is ordered on the spe-
cific charge Of INSTRUMENTATION, In that he
absented himself without leave from his
office While il is not stated in the order
of dismissal, it is known that Couden
went to the Ohio state republican conven-
ton at Columbus after permission to do
so had been refused by Amor Smith, the
surveyor at Cincinnati.
That was the technical charge against
him. Senator Dick Of Ohio without avail
came to his defense.
No charge is formally made against
Couden. so far as Is known, because OF
the connection of his name with the War
riner emDeZZlement. 1T Is common hTOWi-
edge, however, that Treasury officials dis
approved OF Coudon's conduct as indi-
Gated by revelations in that defalcation.
Couden's Course Condemned.
1t is said that 1t was through the I'M
formation of Couden that the Big Four
railroad learned of the Warmer cshort-
age.
Later it developed TO the satisfaction
OF Treasury officials that Couden had
known of the shortage for a long time
before he told of il.
Treasury officials were of the opinion
that Couden should have told his SUI
perior officers of what he knew instead
of telling il to a political leader, who in
turn took il TO the railroad officials.
Secretary MacVeagh has been consider
ing Coudon's case for some time As
sistant Secretary Hilles Investigated 1t
personally.
Senator Dick came to Washington last
week TO save Coudon If possible. A
woman. who held a position in the sur
veyors office at Cincinnati, who Is said
to have known OF the Warmer defalca-
ton and who is alleged to have told ii
to Couden, was discharged several
months ago.

is said fought their way into the flames
to drag out their injured shipmates.
Capt. GleayeS, commander of the North
Dakota. and other officers promptly gave
the necessary emergency orders for the
saving Of the ship, but confusion aboard
was naturally great and discipline was
not what il might have been had the crew
OF the North Dakota been composed q
seasoned Seamen. Most OF the men
aboard. as is the case aboard the Della
ware. a sister ship TO the North Dakota,
are recruits. and have had but little train
ing. Some OF them, although willing
enough. did not know how TO execute the
orders which they received.
Worked Coolly in Peril.
The first order given by Capt Gleaves
was TO food the engine room, which in
cluded the compartment in which the oil
was stored. This was Immediately done,
and the big ship, with a displacement of
1900 tons, began at the same time TO set
tie. Water was let into her until II was
nine feet deep in the hold This, too,
produced its disadvantage, as with the
engine room flooded the pumps could
not be worked 10 extinguish the flames
which still ragged above the water. While
thousands of gallons of oil were con-
sumed by the flames there was an explo-
sion. No report was heard when the fire
broke out.
The great danger 10 the vessel and
crew lay In the magazine, winch was not
far removed from the oil tanks. Officers
OF the North Dakota thought that il must
explode and blow ship and crew TO atoms.
However realizing this danger. they
worked coolly and with great courage.
Capt. Cleaves and every officer aboard
fought flames shoulder to shoulder with
the men, and when the danger had passed
they were as grimy as stokers.
Orders to bring out the dead and in
jured were given simultaneously with
thnSn for ha SAVING Of he
Of the rescuers We're overcome by gas
and smoke in their efforts TO get TO the

the flames had been suppressed.

ton roads. Being helpless 10 render aid
10 the North Dakota, IL was useless to
expose them 10 the danger from an ex-

The following is the statement OF the
accident issued by Rear Admiral Schroe-
der. commanding the Atlantic fleet:
Between 1889 and IL o'clock this
