CUSTOMS GUARD.
Fines a Better Check on Fraud Than
Prosecution.

Washington, June % According to
Secretary Of the Treasury MacNeagh,
who was witness yesterday before
the House committe on expenditures in
the treasury department, heavy fines
will do more than criminal prosecu-
tons TO wipe out the customs frauds
due to naturalization by which the
government Of recent years has lost
large sums in uncolleeted duties.
Mr.. MacVeagh said that information
concerning such frauds was obtained
more readily when punishment by fine
only was threatened. whereas fear of
criminal prosecution would cause fraud.
ulent importers, who might have aided
the government, to cover up all they
knew
"rhere is growing conviction" said
Mr.. MacVeagh, that the government
means business and does not intend to
stop until it has thoroughly cleaned out
the Augeau stables Of f-aud in the
customs service. This situation could
not have been created, as il has, with
IN 4 few years, il we had rested simply
