MCLUNG QUITS AS
U. S. TREASURER
Tenders Resignation After Con-
ference With President
Taft.

WASHINGTON, Nov, IA. = An
nouncement of the resignation of Lee
McClung as treasurer Of the United
States was made by President Taft
today. Mr.. McClung rendered his
resignation at a conference at the
executive mansion early today, and
its acceptance was later announced
by the President from the executive
office, with the explanation that Mr.
McClung resigned voluntarily. 1t Is
believed that Carmi Thompson, now
private secretary TO the President.
will succeed him.
Mr.. McClung's resignation becomes
effective as soon as his successor is
appointed The treasurer declined to
discuss his retirement IN any way to-
day, but it was rumored that his
resignation came as the result of con-
tinued friction with Secretary Mac
Veagh. Mr. McClung was one of the
treasury officials named by Assistant
Secretary A. Piatt Andrew as having
been in continued controversy with
the secretary of the treasury, when
Mr.. Andrew in a letter accompany
ing his IeSlS S1idlAOu 0eCidicu lildi AAC
secretary and his associates were not
in harmony.
Mr. McClung held a two-hour con-
ference with Secretary MacVeagh at
the latters home yesterday. He was
appointed treasurer of the United
States November l, 1909. Before thai
Mr.. McClung, who was a noted Yale
football star, had been identified with
the Southern railway and from 1904
to 1909 had been treasurer OF Yale
University.
The Treasurer Of the United States
is not appointed for a fixed term.
According to his commission he serves
until his successor is appointed. The
RESIGNATION of Mr.. McClung means
that the money and securities for
which the treasurer is responsible
must be actually counted and re-
ceipted for. This will be the great
est single financial transaction in the
history of the world. When Mr.. Nc
Chung assumed the duties. of treas
urer he gave a receipt to his prede-
cessor for s, ,260 1874, 946.sS 2-3.
1t viii require probably three
months to count the money and
securities. This creates a remark
able situation. because presuming
that Mr.. McClung's successor will re-
tire on the fourth of March with the
incoming of Woodrow Wilson, the
count must be made all over again
for the new treasurer.

MAC CFARLAND MAY
GET SENTENCE CUT
Pardon on Charge Of Counter
feiting Is Expected After
Six Months.

There is a possibility that Allison
M. MacFarland, yesterday sentenced
tc serve eighteen months in the fed
eral prison at Atlanta, Ca, will serve
only six months of that time.
At the end of that time he will be
eligible for parole or complete pardon
by the President, and it is GER
tainty that executive clemency will
be asked for MacFarland
The fact that MacFarland claims he
did not intend to counterfeit, but was
simply experimenting on a scheme to
manufacture tops for buttons, hat
pins and similar articles will prob
ably work to his advantage when 1t
becomes time to take steps toward
looking for parole or pardon.
MacFarlandr was very bitter after
his sentence yesterday, saying that
his arrest was frame-up.
He openly asserted that to Secret
Service Agent B. j. Henry, who made
the arrest in New York city, and in
sisted that Henry tell him how he got
his information that led to the ar
rest. Henry, only. laughed at MacFar-
fland and said ''Well. we got you with
the goods anyway, didn't we?'
To that MacFarland only shrugged
his shoulders and turned away.
MacFarland's trip to Atlanta will
be in the custory of Chief Deputy
United States Marshal William G.
Hecht, of Marshal Henkers Office.
MacFarland will reach the prison
early tomorrow morning and will at
once be put In the gray uniform that
