MACvEAGA GIVEN
PLEDGES OF AIDS
Heads of All Departments in
Treasury Tell of Their
Faith in Him.

WASHINGTON, July eSecretary
MacVeagh is assured of the loyalty Of
all of the officials of the treasury de-
partment. Notwithstanding this as
surance, the secretary intends to put
the men to a test, to determine wheth-
er they were really in sympathy with
the attitude of DR.. A. Piatt Andrews,
assistant secretary. who resigned and
later attacked Secretary MacVeagh in
an open letter.
President Taft has placed his ap-
prevail on Secretary MacVeagh's
COURSE. AS result the secretary
reigns supreme in the treasury de-
partment and there has been a sour
rying by bureau chiefs and others to
get in his good graces.
No successor has been chosen to
Assistant Secretary Andrew. George
E. Roberts, director of the min, has
been mentioned for the place.
Calls Andrew Claim Untrue.
There will be ADMINISTRATION of the
treasury department by Mr.. MacVeagh.
He says positively that the assertion
Of DR.. Andrew that his letter OF resig-
nation was approved by other officials
Of the department is untrue.
The failure Of one or more of the
officials in the department to notify
Mr.. Mcveagh of their loyalty immedi-
ately after the publication of the An
drew letter was due, the secretary
said, to no unwillingness on their part
to do so, but only to lack of time.
They all have done SO -. since his re-
turn to Washington.
MacVeagh Hopes for Peace.
Mr.. MacVeagh does not wish to have
another smoldering affair like the An
drew incident.
Nov that Mr.. Andrew has gone !

that the conditions described in his

statement that for one time l did not

leading to the arrest and conviction of
the ripper" who mutilated and killed
12-year-old Julia Connors the police
were today no nearer a solution of the
mystery surrounding the crime and
disappearance Of the slayer.
That the murderer may have had
another victim was indicated today
when the detectives found in the box
in which little Julia was placed to die,
a pair of shoes and an undergarment
not belonging to the Connors child
This discovery brought forth these
theories:
l. That the slayer might have trap
ped another girl before he lured Julia
Connors to her death.
2. That another child might have as
sisted the ripper" and lured Julia to
her death.
8. That another girl was ensnared
by the slayer. but escaped, leaving
part Of her clothing.
The police were deceived for 4S
hours by the conflicting statements
made by Florence Molz, chum of Jul
liza Corners. She finally confessed she
had been romancing about seeing a
man drag away her little friend and
