DURAND REPEATS
CHARGE OF FRAUD
New Count of Noses in Tacoma
Ordered by Census
Director
ASSOCIATED Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Reiterating
and emphasizing his previous atlega-
ton of fraud in connection with the
census of Tacoma, Wash, Director Of
Census Durand today forwarded to the
Tacoma committee a letter conceding
the request for a accommodation of the
population of that city.
The director makes the condition
that no private individual or private
organization shall in any way under
take to interfere with, or assist in the
work of accommodation, except in such
manner as may be approved by HIM
self.
1T is my intention" he said, "after
the enumeratOrs have completed 1he1r
work as fully as possible to give the
local commercial organization an op-
portunity to ascertain whether names
should be added, but until that time
no proposition whatever of private in
dviduals or organizations will be per-
mitted."
He closes this warning with the de-
claration that if any such interference
should be attempted, enumeration
would cease at once.
MUCH FRAUD EVIDENCE
In the body of his letter, Mr.. Du-
rand says:
"The recount is not conceded be-
cause of any doubt whatever as to tue
existence and great extent of the
frauds in the original enumeration The
evidence of such frauds is overwhelln-
ing.
ut is a fact, however, that by rea-
son Of the method of frauds pursu1 /,
the methods of eliminating TIE frau1-
ulent names which had to b. utilized
NAV have resulted in the elimination
of some names of bona fida residents.
The people of Tacoma in the absence
of a remuneration always VIII be-
lieve that the number of bona tide
names thus eliminated was large and
a recount will furnish the only means
by which the question can be prop
erlv settled"
Giving the reasons for his charges,
Mr. Durand repeats his original ale
cation that a large number OF the
enumerators admitted the addition Of
thousands of names; that Spec al
agent Mckenzie reported the inclusion
of many fictitious names, and that the
schedules themselves bear evidence Of
the fraud.

MILLIONS LOST IN
NEW CUSTOM LEAK
Collector Loeb Starts Inquiry Into
Frauds PraCtiCed by
Fruit Importers

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Another al
legged leakage in the customs service,
whereby 1t is estimated that duties
ranging into the millions have been
diverted from the federal treasury, be-
came known today and is being 1nves-
tigated by William Loeb, jr., collector
of the port.
The inquiry deals with rebates al
lowed importers of fruits on shipments
reported as decayed or unfit for mar
ket.
AS the number of inspectors was too
small to permit a complete eXamina-
ton of all cargoes, an agreement was
reached some time ago between import
ers and customs officials whereby If an
allowance for decay was claimed an
inspection of only per cent of the
cargo was made and the percentage of
decay found in this portion alone ap-
piled to the whole cargo.
1t is now claimed that frequently the
rebates thus allowed were excessive.
Rebates on lemons are said to rep
resent the greatest loss, and unofficial
estimates of the amount turned from
the treasury on this item alone since
the Mckinley tariff law became effect
i've range from $1,500,O0O to $3OOO,00o,
The duty paid on lemons since 1898 eX-
ceeds $1S,000,0O0.
