PROBATION
IS TAKEN TO GUARD
TREASURY WEALTH
Old Regulations Changed,
and Money Is Now Safe
From Raid.

Great two-inch steel bars, with auto
matte lock gates, armed guards, and
stringent rules that forbid the corridors
TO every person not employed or having
business there, have been placed as ad-
dltlonal safeguards around the vast
stores Of wealth in United States cur
rehcy that are literally kicked around
In the offices fronting on the west base
ment OF the Treasury Department.
The rules relative to the non-admis-
sion of any person not having direct
connection with the office force en-
ployed there, have led to several humor-
Gus situations, but the rules are being
strictly enforced despite all protests
When the new system was inaugurated
the rooms Of the office of the Treasurer
and the Comptroller of the Currency on
this floor were not swept or cleaned,
because the watchmen positively de-
clined to admit the ianitors, without
specific written orders from Chief Clerk
Wilmeth. or unless the janitors were
personally escorted by the chief clerk.
Watchmen of the regular watch force
were refused admittance to the closed
corridor when on their rounds. and the
passage of q stranger is simply impos-
sible,'
Millions Of dollars a day are handled
in the express office of this corridor.
New currency fresh from the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing is shipped
out to the national banks of the coun-
try. This currency is done up in small
square packages, some of them with
high denomination bills containing hun
dreds of thousands. These packages
are handled like the ordinary bundles
at any shipping point, though they are
carefully recorded, numbered, and reg
istercd, and each person handling them
mas receipt when they leave his
hands.
TO the layman. It would appear ex-
tremely simple for an employe to walk
out with a $4,000 package, but
those in charge declare that such a loss
would be Immediately detected and
traced.
In the past the corridor where this
money Is handled was open like every
other corridor in the building, and the
public could pass at will, and look in
on the vast sums being handled. Sec
rotary MacVeagh and Chief Clerk Will
meth decided that while they hardly
thought a raid was even remotely likely,
still under the old condition It was pos
sible, and they resolved upon a new
system of safeguards

GOVERNOR CLARK MAKEst
 LONG SPEECH AT FAIRBANg

Governor Clark delivered an ad- dress in Fairbanks just before leay- ing for the outside. in which he out lined needed legislation and spoke Of Alaska conditions generally. An epitome Of his remarks follow
 (l1 Coal Lands means should be provided by which coal mining may be made possible under the law Nearly s62o, ,0o0 worth of coal was shipped into Masks last year, while some of the finest bltuminous beds in the land are lying untouched with in Aiaskas borders.
 t2) Fisheries Next to mining the fishing industry is the most pro duetive in the territory, but unless some restrictions are levied on the number and location of the salmon canneries there is grave danger of depletion of the fish supply. Near ly 70 canneries are now in opera ton, furnishing employment to up wards of 16,ooo persons. Japanese are mostly employed in the actual canning process. The total invest ment in the fisheries shown in the 1911 report was $2O,71t,422; the finished product being 214,5Se,iS pounds, with an export value of S1S,259,S5s.
 (3) Mining Law Amendments The existence of provisions which tend to retard development and to encourage mere speculation is a ser ious defect in the mining laws. The absentees would soon lose their de- sire to speculate If law were in acted requiring assessment work for each individual claim of 90 acres.
 (4 Quarantine.--At present it is not possible outside Of incorporated towns to isolate a person inoculat- ed with a contagious or infectious disease.
 t5) Laws requiring the observa- ton of the ordinary rules of sauita- tion.
 t6) Supervision of banks. tO Registration of births, mar. riages and Individual cases of a most pathetic nature Illustrate wrongs and hardahips of lax regis tratiop of vital statistics. A young girl, the legitimate child of white parents was deprived of an inner itance because there was no written record of her parents marriage. A widow was unable to collect the in- surance on the life of her late hus- band because there was no record Of his death which was acceptable to the insuring company, and she was left in poverty. Lack of marriage records encourages loose morals and a diminished regard for the marital relation.
 tSl Compulsory school attendanct
 Cs) Relief of Restitution.
 In addition to the above legisla' ton. most of which has already passed the senate, Governor Clarp advocates government aid to at least one trunk line of railroad tapping one of the coal fields and connect ing one of the uayieable streams with tidewater.
