UNCLE SANS MONEY
Small Army of Trusted Employees
Will Complete the Work In About
Four Months-Some Mistakes Have
Been Made and One Person Was
Punished Because of Dishonesty.

! WASHINGTON April John
Burke. former governor Of North Da-
kota, took the oath of Office as rsas-
ufer of the United States today and
entered upon the duties of his office
succeeding Carni A. Thompson. Of
Ohio. who had succeeded United
States Treasurer Lee McClung in De
cember- of 1912 AS the law requires
that the retiring treasurers record Of
the transfer of funds he verified by
an actual count of the notes, coin and
securities in the treasury whenever
there is a change of treasurers. the
tremendous task of counting the
hoard of approximately s1.500,000,000
contained in the vaults Of the national
treasury was begun today. This gi-
gantic task which, it is estimated,
would take one person about 300
years, win be completed by a small
army OF trusted employees under the
direction and supervision Of the com
mittee which Secretary McAdoo has
appointed for that purpose, in from
two to four months The work is car
ried on during office hours only, be-
ginning at $50 in the morning and
closing at 4.30 in the afternoon.
All OF the paper money is counted
piece by piece, but the gold and sill
yer coin, usually stored in canvas
bags, is counted by weigh, unless
some error is detected which makes
it necessary to open every one of the
bags and to counte its contents. A
test bag the contents of which have
been counted and found correct. is
placed upon the scales and balanced
against the other bags for vertical
ton. Each bay is checked and re
checked before it is returned to the
vaults and great precautions are tax
en- to prevent theft, Armed guards
stand over the counters and workmen
to protect them from interference
The handling of the heavy coin
bags in removing them from the
stacks, passing them from hand to
hand to the weighing counters and
back again to the vaults to be re-
stacked is strenuous work requiring
considerable physical strength. The
counting of the paper money and Sc
curities, while not so strenuous re-
quires great skill and accuracy.
In the course OF time there have
been many counts of the funds in the
nited States treasury, but nearly in
every case the actual contents of the
vaults correspond exactly with the
amounts listed in the books and &C
counts of the treasury. In 1855, when
the administration passed into the

A small sized hurricane. is lowering
over Georgia At any moment it is
likely to break loose and tear the
whole state into factions. Charges
have been filed alleging that Tech is
playing professionals on it's football
team, and the Tech boys are swearing
vengeance on the party who started
the Investigation.
AS a result of the investigation,
Jim Prease, star Tech back and end,
has been suspended until his case can
be further investigated Nance, who
has played a tackle, has been cleared
of all charges against him.
The followers of Heisman's team
have stated that they believe some one
at Georgia started the investigation j,
and that if it is true, they will make
trouble for the Red and Black team.
Tech believes Cunningham has sew
eral professionals himself.
What will be the outcome cannot
be told. But anyways there is bound
to be fur flying. 1t is hoped that the
two Georgia schools will turn over the
pages of history and study the result
of just such a scrap between Alabama
and Auburn several years ago. These
schools do not play one another now.
College Athletics is a gentleman's
sport. 1t will not do for professional
ism to creep in and ruin it. We venture
a guess that both Tech and the Uni
versity can provo the eligibility of all
their players.
