After hearing from Sec MacNeagh and

Glass stated that the treasury officials
did not take the view that the new order

hope that they were right.

Treasury Order, No. 3, Will Not

Washington. Feb. Secretary or

tonight, to Representative Carter

ing Treasury order No. criticised
on the ground that it would result in
the accumulation of 5000 600 a year
in gold in the New York banks from
customs receipts. declared that the
new plan of handling receipts and dis
bursements of the government did not
involve an increase IN the amount of
bank deposits to any appreciate ex-
tent
The increase will not exceed in the
aggregate 1000 600 or 100000, if it
reaches that sum, wrote the secre-
tary.
Representative Glass called atten-

who charged that the order was put in
effect TO embarrass the coming Demo-
cratic administration.
1t is exceedingly doubtful whether

treasury" said Mr.. Glass, should be
put in effect in the closing days of

barrassment of the succeeding adj

charge that this change has been made
with view to embarrassing the next
administration; but that Mr.. Spreekles
does make the charge and many per
sons will be ready to take that view
of the situation. 1t seems to me that
alteration in the business methods of
the treasury department might well
have been left to the administration of
Mr.. Wilson and his secretary of the
treasury. Had it been "a matter of
