BURKE !.
IS UNDER
CRITICISM

The following appeared in The Chi
cago Tribune of Jan. 22, as special
dispatch to the paper from John CAL
Ian OLaughlin, the Washington rep
resentative of The Tribune:
A perilous condition of affairs has
been revealed in the office Of the
treasurer of the United States, prob
ably the greatest financial clearing
house in the world. 1t was disclosed
as a result Of an investigation just
ended. hgH ','' ~
The confusion which prevails is
such as to retard the work Of the
auditing officers of the government, to
impair the efficiency OF the force
handling the accounts, to make evil
dent the inability of the office to
furnish the information desired by
government debtors and creditors,
and even to jeopadize the safety Of
the public funds.
Flaws Found by Experts. K
The report, presenting the results Of
the investigation, has been handed to
The Tribune correspondent, by q high
official Of the treasury department.
The investigation was made by
Harvey S. Chase & Co., certified pub
lie accountants of Boston, who were
employed by the secretary of the
The findings of this concern have
aroused Congressman Good of Iowa,
who Is insisting that in the Legislative,
executive, and judicial bill a provision
be inserted requiring the affairs Of the
treasurers Office to be investigated
Immediately. It is expected there will
be changes in the, personnel Of the
treasurer's Office, the chief of which is

PeriIs Shown in Reports.
Here, in brief, are the findings re-
ported:
l. There prevails a. lack Of accur-
ate knowledge regarding the condition
and correctness Of national bank ac-
counts.
I 2. Opportunities exist for gross
irregularities which would enable the
Imulcting of the government Of huge
sums Of money and the easy escape
of the thieves. &
8. The present method of examin :.
ing and clearing checks has produced
congestion, with the result that the
daily amount of uncleared checks has
not been below 100000 in months.
4. No bank could continue in busi-
ness were it to hold checks for a.
week before charging them to the
customers accounts.
S. Disbursing officers are unable to
secure statements of their accounts
earlier than from one to four months;
which. in the case of a private de-
positor, would cause him to change
his bank Immediately.
Years Enteries $4,000, 100000
During the year ending June 80,
1912, the total of the entries passing
through the books Of the treasurer's
office was close to $6,000,OO0,0 900.
The Office maintains accounts in L.
600 national banks. Tt furnishes the
funds and keeps the accounts of near
.ly 5000 government disbursing officers.

redemption Of their bank note circula-

department the deposits of surplus

masters

525, 900 to 10000 checks. and 1t must
keep the continually changing records
of nearly $2.0o0.000.0o0 Of paper cur-

MEDDLE With
SCHMIDT JURY

New York, Jan. 24.-Because some
one has been writing anonymously TO
jurors in the case, Justice Vernon nj.
Davis of the supreme court, before
whom Hans Schmidt, a former priest
charged with the murder of Anna Au-
muller, is on retrial, again earnestly
cautioned the jurymen against dis
cussing the case with any ono and
requested them not to read news
paper articles or communications res
lating to the case.
Justice Davis took this action after
one OF the jurors had handed him
letter postmarked Brooklyn, signed
"A Citizen" in which was made what
the Justice characterized as an able
medical argument dealing with the
Schmidt case Whether it was for
or against the defendant the justice
would not say.
Witnesses who were heard yesterday
repeated testimony in the first trial
Because defense has permitted the
state to INTRODUCES all testimony Of the
first trial the case will be in the
hands of the jury within a week. It is
said.

34-44 Vandever avenue, Whining
ton, would gladden. the heart of
every housewife in the community,
for like the handwriting on the
wall, 1t indicated surely and posi-
lively the release Of womankind
from the petty household annoy
ances with which she has contend
ed for so long.
The plant was a brand-new, up
to-date laundry. The large airy
well-lighted room, 60 by 100 feet,
is lined on two sides with large
double windows through which
the germ-killing sunshine streams
every hour Of the day. The walls
are painted white, the great churn-
like washers shine with that pecul-
lar cleanliness Of unpainted boards
often wet. 1t is easy to see that
modern ideas of sanitation prevail
throughout the establishment.
In the workings Of the plant
brain and forethought are stamped
upon every operation. From the
moment the soiled clothes are deliv-
cred into the hands Of the collec-
tors until they are returned to the
owners, the greatest care is taken
to treat them exactly as the most
careful housewife would desire.
The appeal Of the place rests in the
fact that the wife Of the president
of the company is on hand daily
supervising and inspecting the
work Of the various departments,
insisting on the same care and
judgment in the handling of all
articles as would be demanded of a
private laundress in her own home.
The Snow White Family Wash
Co., for as such the plant is
known, has capacity for hand
ling 200 washes daily. The laun-
dry is equipped for the return of
clothes at various stages of COM
pletion. There is the wet wash-30
lbs. for so cents-returned to the
owner ready for starching and
hanging on the line; the finished
wash, at the rate Of 5 cents per h.,
which returns all unstarched
pieces beautifully ironed and the
remainer ready for starching; and
the extra finished wash, in which
every article is ready to be replac-
ed in the private chests and draw
ers Of the home.
The proposition is interesting to
Newark as the company proposes
establishing an agency in the town,
thus putting the splendid service
within the reach of everybody. A
review of the methods Of washing,
as used at the laundry, convinces
one that the clothes are returned
