A. K. TINGLE WAS NOTED
AUTHORITY ON CUSTOMS !
Treasury Veteran, Who Died Last
Sunday, Responsible for Ae-
counting System.
PREPARED TARIFF SCHEDULES

A veteran employe of the Treasury De-
partment. a man who was responsible
for a large part of the system Of ac-
counting that is in use in the Treasury
today, was lost to the department in
the death of A. X. Tingle, 1908 Spring
road. Mr.. Tingle died last Sunday.
Mr.. Tingle was born in Indiana in 1910.
His family removed to this city IN his
early boyhood, and he was educated In
private schools here. His father was an
official of the Treasury, and upon his
death his son was appointed to a posi-
ton in that department. He was as
signed to the customs branch Of the de-
partment. As a result of this assign
ment he visited all the ports OF the
country and originated much of the sys-
TEN now used.
Prior to 1882 ne was supervising agent
of the customs service. He accepted an
appointment as special agent, and in
1899 he was again appointed by Secretary
Window as supervising agent, which po-
sition he held until 1894.
He enjoyed the confidence of success
sive Secretaries of the Treasury, who
consulted with him frequently on Gus
tens matters, in which branch OF the
service he was regarded as an authority.
Under the first Cleveland administra-
ton, at the request Of Samuel ]. Randall,
William B. Allison, Roger Q. Mills, and
others, Mr.. Tingle and George c. Tiche-
nor were assigned to the preparation OF
the schedules of the tariff bill introduced
in 1894. Mr.. Tingle resigned from the
department to engage in the practice of
law in this city and in New York, and
was 50 engaged when overtaken by the
illness which caused his death.

bia, spoke to a large company on the
need Of the participation Of women in
the District government. He described
the several departments in which women
could serve as efficiently and acceptabIv
as men; and urged the members OF the
league to acquaint themselves with the
work in all departments Of the District
government.
The classes were well attended, despits
the many counter attractions In tn,

something over three thousand. There

Certain II is that We have no Jay
Gould today-or an 4. II. Hartman, or a
Keene, or a Gates, or even a David La

men are dead and there are none to take
their places. II as big things are put
over as in the old days they are done
now in secret, with the aid Of much law
and lawyers, through numerous agents
and multitudinous blinds and devices.

Gould or Jim Fiske wouldn't hesitate at
ali to appear in the public share mart
