LITTLE DROPS OF WATER.

August-for August-was de- cidedly damp month. J. Pluvius reigned (taken from J. Millers joke book, edition of 1,323) in all his pomp and glory and precipitated the gentle drops from which a mighty ocean is made in superabundance' The rainfall for the month amounted to 724 inches. The skies were not wont to weep so copiously in the olden days, this fact being shown by the records of Clerk Egan of the water department for years agone. The August records follow:
 In 1914, 2.60 inches; in 1913, 2.65: in 1912, 1.50; in 1911, 5.51; in 1910, 2.62; in 1909, 3.O9; in 1908, 6.41; in 1907, 1.17; in 1906, 2.3S inches.

The Washington Herald had learned of
the absence of Kleindienst. This state
ment was in line with that issued by
Maj. Pullman on Thursday. In both
statements there Is q veiled appeal for
some member of the police department
to come forward and tell about the

Majors way of getting evidence to MI
the gap caused by the lack Of Klein
dienst's.
In his statement yesterday Mai Pull
man said:
Every citizen of Washington and ev-
cry member of the police department
will do we'll to remember at this time
that nothing can harm an honest police
man when one or more men are found
to be unfaithful to their trust. except
one thing, and that is a false idea OF
loyalty which may lead honest men to
protect the dishonest"
Members of the force who read this
statement last night said:
See? The major hopes that there is
some one who knows part OF what
Kleindienst is supposed to have known.
That statement was an invitation Tor
the man to come forward"

M'ADOO REVISES LAWS
ON Destroying MONEY
Changes Old Regulations Regarding
Witnesses to Maceration Of
Cancelled Paper.

| Secretary McAdoo Yesterday codified
and revised the regulations for the de-
| struction OF paper money and securities
| of the United States that have been can
celled and retired This is the first
| formal revision of these instructions
since the days of Secretary Chase. who,
on March !. 1861, issued the first regula-
| tions for the destruction Of retired OBJ
legations of the United States.
A total of 81, .1sS redeemed notes (pa-
per money! of a nominal value of 81, ST.
l31 i'll. We're destroyed by maceration dur
ing the fiscal year 1915. 1t is estimated
that these notes weighed $50 tons; in
other words, an avera sc of 100000 pieces
of paper money of a nominal value Of
s., 900 600, and weighing almost two tons
were destroyed daily during the year
just closed. All of this was worn-out
currency.
The great growth of this work since
the days of the civil war, when paper
money was first isued, is indicated by
comparison with the figures for the
fiscal year 1865, when 100000 pieces
Of redeemed currency were destroyed,
of face value of H.219.920. which in
cluded large amount of fractional cur
rency.
The destruction of these once valua-
BILE bits OF paper has always been wit
messed by joint committees. This policy
is continued in Secretary McAdoo's Or
der The destruction committee was
composed of representatives of the Sec
retary of the Treasury. the Treasurer of
the United States. the Register of the
Treasury and a witness on behalf Of the
public. The last-named position was
abolished at the last session of Con-
gress.
Under the order issued yesterday the
destruction of United States currency
will be witnessed by a committee COM
posed of representatives of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and the Treasurer
OF the United States, national bank and
Federal Reserve bank currency by rep
resentatives of the Secretary of the
Treasury. the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, the Treasurer of the United
States, and the national bank or the

Il am a distant relative Of Ray Klein
dienst," he said. but so distant ! don't
know just what the relation is l have
spoken to him several times and shaken
hands with him once or twice. and that's
about all know about him"
At the Third precinct station, Police
man Samual Kleindienst, a brother of
Raymond Kleindienst, declined to talk
except to sy: Il haven't seen Ray in
about two weeks. and I'm quite sure l
don't know where he is" Policeman
Kleindienst indicated that he believed
his brother would appear when wanted
by the court.
It is stated that Mrs. Kleindienst has
left Washington. inquiries of other
friends of the couple all indicated that

ter the inquiry the only information
given out was the following statement
by Mai. Pullman:

In his statement of Thursday Pullman
said:
IF any one has any information what
ever bearing on graft of any kind. this
informatio should be brought either to
me or to the United States District at
torney."
This was the majors first Invitation. I"
1t was stated yesterday that no one has
responded with an offer of graft evf-
dence, but Pullman and Laskey both re-
fused to deny or affirm this statement.
That Kleindienst has actually left
Washington is not doubted by his rela-
tives, friends and associates. The Wash
ington Herald last night interviewed
practically every official and member of
the force who would know Kleindienst' s
whereabouts II he was in Washington.
and all agreed that he has left town.
But" these men invariably added. ''he
may return"
Why" was asked.
We'll, suppose his appeal to the high
er court turns out favorably?'
Inquiries at 1910 Pennsylvania avenue
southwest, where Kleindienst lived with
his wife, Mrs. Viola Kleindienst, prior
to disclosures of his relations with Mrs.
Stout. were answered last night with the
information that the house was vacated
by the husband and wife on June l. Mel
ther the present occupants nor the fami-
lies living on each side of the house
knew where Kliendienst or his wife
might be found.
At the Fourt precinct station report
ers were answered: q
Where is Kliendienst? Where? Wei
maybe the court will be asking thai
question soon without getting any better
answer than We are giving you now
