Letter of RESIGNATION.

November 10. 1872
My Dear Mr.. President: Now that the
election is over and my retirement can
have no effect upon the political situa-
ton, l beg to tender my resignation as
Treasurer Of the United States to be ac-
cepted rs soon as you can find il con-
sistent with the selection of my successor.
Il wish TO take this occasion to express
my appreciation for the opportunity of
having served in your administration,
and for the courtesies which you have
extended to me during my official life in
Washington. With very kind personal
regards, sincerely yours.
LEE McCLUNG.
The President, the White House"
Mr.. McClung declined to discuss his res
iEnation. He said that he had made no
plans for the future. He will remain here
urtu his successor qualities, which will
be about January l. He was graduated
from Yale University in 1892 and was a
famous football player. He was associ-
ated with the st. Paul and Duluth Rail-
road and later was assistant to the sec
ord vice president of the Southern Rail-
wav. December Il. 1904. he became treas
Crer of the Yale Corporation, which posi-
ton he held at the time of his appoint
ment to the government service several
years ago. Mr.. McClung was a personal
friend OF President Taft, who had become
intimate with Mr.. McClung through his
service as a member of the Yale CORPORA
ton. He has been Treasurer since No
vember ], 1909. Mr.. McClung has kept up
his athletics since leaving college and is
one of the best amateur tennis players in
the District.
Mr.. Thompson. the new Treasurer, is a
native of Ironton. Ohio. He was for
merly Speaker of the Ohio Assembly and
later served as Secretary of State of
Ohio. He was appointed an assistant
Secretary of the Interior about a year
ago and was transferred to the White
House last summer when Secretary HiIles
took charge of the Presidents political
interests.

OFFICIAL
LEAVES SERVICE
Treasurer Lee McClung, Tired Of
Friction in Department, Sends
in Resignation.
ACTION IS AFTERMATH
OF DR.. ANDREW CASE
Retiring Official Sends Letter to
President Expressing His
Personal Regards.

Lee McClung, Treasurer of the United
States, resigned from the government
service yesterday. His resignation was
accepted by the President, to take effect
upon the qualification of his successor.
Carmi Thompson, of Ohio, now secretary
to the President, will be appointed TO the
vacancy. This appointment will permit
Charles D. Hilles, former secretary to the
President. to return TO his old post when
he closes up the affairs of the Republican
National Committee.
The resignation of Treasurer McClung
means that money for which the Treas
urer is responsible must be actually
counted and receipted for.
This will be the greatest single finan-
cial transaction in the history OF the
world. When Mr.. McClung assumed the
duties of Treasurer he gave a receipt to
his predecessor for 81, $50, IS4, 946.SS 2-3.
That was then the largest single trans
action from man to man on record. While
the exact amount OF the Treasurers fund
is not known, It is expected that it will
exceed those figures by many millions.
Aftermath of Andrew Case.
Mr.. Meetings. resignation is an echo
of the friction between Secretary Of the
Treasury MacVeagh and DIR. A. Piatt
Andrew. who resigned last July as As
sistant Secretary after making public a
letter to President Taft criticizing Sec
rotary MacVeagh's administration and
charging him with incompetency and
inefticiency. Mr.. McClung was on friend
ly terms with DR.. Andrew and was
named by DR.. Andrew as one of the
bureau chiefs OF the Treasury who had
similar views and could substantiate his
accusations against the Secretary.
Mr.. McClung intended TO take similar
action and write a letter to the Presi-
dent protesting against the conditions
i'll the Treasury under which he had to
serve. Upon the urgent advice of his
friends, however, Mr.. McClung never
signed or forwarded his letter to the
White House. He gave a copy of 1t,
however, to Secretary Andrew, who
without Mr. Meetings. authority used
il in his open letter to the President.
Shortly after DIR. Andrew retired from
the government service Secretary Mac
Veagh called upon all the bureau Off
Gals mentioned by DR.. Andrew for a
statement of their attitude toward him.
All of them denied DIR. Andrews
manned silent. Since that time his rela-
lions with Secretary MacVeagh have
been formal and perfunctory. His res
ignation has been generally expected, and
while no one in authority will admit
it, ii is generally believed that he was
asked to resign. Here is Mr.. McClung' s
letter of resignation. which he handed
to the President this morning:
