WCLUNG RESIGNS
 AS U. S. TREASURER.
Trouble With Secretary MacVeash
 Supposed to Be the Cause.

Washington, Nov 14.-Announce- ment of the resignation of Lee Nc Clung as treasurer of the United States was made by President Taft today, AIr. McClung rendered his resignation to the president at con- ference in the executive mansion early today, and it's acceptance was later announced by the president from the executive offices with the explanation that MT. McClung resigned voluntari- ly. It is believed that Carmi Thomp son, now private secretary to the president, will succeed him.
 MT. McClung'S resignation becomes effective as soon as his successor is appointed.
 The change is expected to tal-o place early next week.
 T had very pleasant interviews with both President Taft and Secretary MacVeagh today" said Mir. McClung tonight. That was the only statement he would authorize in connection with his retirement. His formal letter of resignation to the president assigned no reason for his action. In the view of official Washington, that omission lent color to the belief that the secre- tary and treasurer were out of sympa- thy in their official relations.
 As soon as the senate confirms the appointment of MT. McClung's success sor the new treasurer's name will ap- pear upon all the currency of the United States. The change will en- tail considerable expense. It probably will cost $10,000 to correct plates and a large sum for counting the money and securities.

Rose got them to come down to Bridgie Webbers poker rooms on the night of the murder, and it was in re- sponse to a message from Rose, deliv- cred by the mysterious stranger, that they left the poker rooms and went to the Hotel Metropole, where Rosenthal met. his fate. Whether Rose lured them there to throw suspicion upon them they did not know, but the mes sage was that some cops" would be there who would prove that Jack Rose had nothing to do with framing" Jack Zelig.
 Stranger Unknown to Them.
 Who the mysterious stranger was they did not know They all agreed that he was about five feet nine inch es in height, weight 160 or 170 pounds, had a black mustache and wore a slouch hat" It was the stranger who led them on foot, not in gray auto mobile, to the Metropole, they said. There on the street they saw Jack Rose, Sam Schepps, Bridgie and Harry Vallon. The gray automobile which has been called the murder car'' was there, too. The strange man" joined Webber and Vallon, and, as 'FWhftey'' Lewis described the shooting:
 Stranger Fired First Shot.
 All of a sudden there was a flash. The stranger shot first. Then we see more fiashes-Harry Vallon and Bridgie Webber was shooting, and we beat it for the subway"
 Didn't Know Who Victim Was. They didn't even know that it was Rosenthal who had been shot until the next day., they said. All three denied every discriminating statement made by Jack Rose involving them in the mur- der, Lefty Louie" swearing that Rose had never paid him $1.000 to divide with other gunmen to enable them to get out of town, as Rose had testified.
