New York. May 3.-"Whatever sue

the records of the office will bear out
the declaration"
IL was William Loeb, Jr., collector
of the port of New York, who spoke
thus. The American had obtained
from the official records of his office
the figures showing the difference in
actual money value to the government
of the first two years of his admins

These figures show startling results.
BY them II is shown that. from the
date of his installation in Office down
to April II of this year he has col

than $s,00O,OO more than would have
flown into the treasury at Washing

age established by Collector Loeb been
as loose and lax as that which for
generation has characterized the ad-
of the Office.
These collections and prospective
collections, based upon forfeiture and

money wrung from all sorts and con-
ditions of importers and travellers re-

NOUS fund that the government would
have been swindled out of but for the

sums varying from $4,000 to $120. The |
