First Assistant Secretary Leaves Because of Trou- ble With McVeagh Who He Thinks Is Exhibiting Signs of Dementia
NOT FIRST VICTIM OF
 SECRETARIES MOODS
The R Retiring Assistant Tells the President in His Letter of Resignation; Resolution Introduced in House to Investigate
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPATCH1


 WASHINGTON. July 3.-A row in the United States treasury of more than a years standing between Secre- tary McVeagh and assistant Secretary A Plat Andrew culminated today in Andrews resignation and proposal for a congressional investigation of Me Veagh's administration.
 Representative Cox of Ohio present cd the resolution for such an investi- gation in the house after he read An drew's letter of resignation to Presi- dent Taft
 Andrews letter to the president created profound sensation He de- clared that energetic young men in the treasury had been "hampered and dis outraged at every turn by the secre- tary's i;;'osyncrasies, his astounding capacitr for procrastination his inca pacity for decision. his peculiar moods of suspicion and aversion to which he is constantly subject
 Andrew also informed MT Taft that Lawrence O. Murray. comptroller of the currency. Lee McClung treasurer of the United States and other high off cials of the treasury were practically unable tc transact the business of their offices because of McVeagh's moods. which Andrew says. would seem mex plicable in man of normal mind" An drew says for weeks at time Me- Veagh would have no relations with his assistants, while government busi- ness was delayed
 Andrew says that several of his pre- decessors had a similar experience with McVeagh and he names Charles Norton later secretary to the president and Charles D. HiHis. who also left the treasury to go to the White House. While the relations of Andrew and Nc Veagh have been strained for more than a Near. it said they reached the breaking point two weeks ago when Andrew n ent to the Chicago convention.
 When he returned it became known that either McVeagh would leave the cabinet CT Andrew would leave the treasury. Senators Crane, Lodge and Shoot talked with the president about the situation and an effort was made to have An.lrew retained. His resignation was practically asked for however, and he tendcred it and left the city a few hours later.
 McVeagh objected to Andrew going to Chicago to frame the financial plank of the platform and it was this incident which constituted the carge of failure to obey orders given him by the secre- tary.
 The Cox resolution was referred to the committee on rules. If half the things Andrew says are true" said Cox then the state of things in the treasury department has developed into posi- tive travesty. An investigation might develop tie fact that he whole machin- cry of the government has been thrown into a s-ate of chaos, confusion and strife which has overwhelmed the af- fairs of the administration and may re- suit in an upheaval of the republican party ana the nation. If the public business is at a standstill we should not only know it but we should reveal the cause.
