FEDERALrS HAVE THE
CUSTOMS RECORDS
May Make Brokers Pay For
All Stuff Cleared
With the Rebels.

Brokers who have been continuing
TO ship goods to Mexico through the
Juarez port during the rebel regime.
have charged that the agents of the
Mexican consul were being furnished
with a record Of all outgoing manifests
of Mexican exports in order that the
federal government of Mexico might
be able to force these brokers or the
men they represent 10 pay the duties
again to the Mexican government when
the federals get in control.
Collector A l. Sharpe, of the FL PasO
custom house, says that no agents OF
the Mexican consul have been furnished
any information from the custom house,
but he says that upon advice of the
treasury department at Washington,
the federal custom officials, who were
in charge of the Juarez custom house
before the coming of the rebels, have
been furnished with whatever data they
wished from the FL Paso custom house.
This, the collector said, was in accord
ance with the custom which has eX-
listed between the two custom houses
for years and that each collector has
had access to the books of the other
at Will.
The FL Paso brokers claim that
should the Mexican government at
tempt to force them to repay all of
the duties on goods sent to Mexico
while the rebels were in control Of the
port Of Juarez, they would be driven
out of business.

WASHINGTON. = Some misguided
w men in the United States have the
idea that their wives boss their in
comes, salaries or wages-different
words TO use in proportion to the
amount they receive. This n ,ney
they receive in bills or coin. The per-
son legally responsible for it is the
secretary of the treasury of the United
States, who is charged with making
all OF Uncle Sans money But, get
ting down to real facts, 1t is somebody
else who bosses all the money-Miss
Margaret v. Kelly, Uncle Sans high.
est paid Woman official
She gets $1,000 year. She is as
sistant director of the mint. Actual
ly the secretary OF the treasury has
little to dc with our coin. Miss Kelly
attends TO that. There are but four
persons between her and the secretary
of the treasury, and in their absence
she runs things.
Miss Kelly is a native of New Hamp-
shire, producer of Boston education
al institutions.
AS assistant director of the mint
Miss Kelly holds such a high official
position in the treasury department.

Pharmacy Building at Purdue
University Damaged.
WATCHMAN TURNS IN ALARM
Structure Is One of the Oldest on the
Campus-vauabIe Apparatus
Was Destroyed by Smoke
and Water.

Lafayette.-The pharmacy building
at Purdue university, two-story brick
structure at the west end of the camp
us, was damaged by fire to the
extent of $4,000. The fire broke
out in the laboratory in the basement
and the cause is unknown, although
it is possible that an explosion Of
chemical may have started it. The
night Waterman, William Rogers,
turned in the alarm, but when the
West side department responded 1t
was found that the hydrant was frozen
and no water could be obtained for at
least half an hour. This gave the
flames much Roadway and was the
cause of greater loss.
The laboratory In the basement
was badly damaged by fire, and the
stairway and recitation rooms on the
first floor were charred, smoked and
water damaged. Valuable apparatus
was destroyed.
The loss Is covered by insurance
The pharmacy building was one of the
oldest buildings on the campus.

No Hereditary Descent i'm Politics

- HE passing of great baronial houses
j in politics is stimulated by the last
elections. Another blow has been de-
livered to the practice in several in
stances of handing the senatorial toga
from father to son. State Senator Ar
thur p. German, Democrat, of Mary
land was only running for governor
to b. sure, but it was generally rec
ognized that had he been elected he
would soon have become a formidable
candidate for the United States senate,
where his father of the same name
served for many years. The late Sen
ator German started his only son upon
a political career by reason of his in
fiuence with the state machine, and
undoubtedly looked ahead to the day
when the son would become a senator.
The Germans are related to the Da-
vises and Elkinses, of West Virginia, a
neighboring state. All three families
made considerable money in the same
ventures, but not all their money for

that it can be truly said that there
has never been her equal in the serv-
ice.
Fifteen years ago, fresh from the
Boston schools, Miss Kelly tackled a
civil service examination. She passed
and fourteen years ago entered the
service of the mint bureau as stenog-
rapher. Since that time she has been
successfully private secretary to the
director, adjuster Of accounts, exam
liner, assistant director, ard now, when
the director is absent from Washing
ton, she signs herself acting direc-
tor"
To see her some day acting secre-
tary of the treasury Of the United
States Is no stretch of the imagination,
for, if the secretary and the two as
sistant secretaries, the comptroller of
the currency and the treasurer of the
United States were to be absent them,
selves at the same time, and Miss
Kelly were then acting director of the
mint, it would be Margaret V. Kelly,
Acting Secretary. Treasury Depart
ment."
While there are 1,400 employees in
the mint service and the responsible
ties of the management are great, Miss
Kelly held her own as acting direc-
for the last few months.
The salary that Miss Kelly receives,
$4,000 a year, is large pay as govern
ment salaries go, for Uncle Sam does
not believe in paying too we'll for any
service rendered, no matter how val
