Familiar With Work of Office.

Mr.. Warwick is fully familiar with
the work of the Office, and signed many
decisions as assistant controller. The
ONCE of assistant controller to a large
extent took over the duties of the Sec
ond controller when that Office was
abolished in 1894. and only the name
and dignity of the service was
changed, until Controller Downey took
charge and found uniformity of deci-
sion best accomplished by a single
headed supervision of the rulings of
the office. The Secretary of the Treas
ury holds Mr.. Warwick in esteem as
competent official.
The only Indianian whose name has
been mentioned for the place is Charles
A. Korbly, now general receiver for
national banks. Mr. Korbly is not an
active candidate, and his sentiments
are not known. AS member Of Con-
gress during the last session he served
on many committees, and proved
stanch supporter of the provisions Of
the new currency act supported by the
administration. He also has the good
will of the Secretary OF the Treasury.
II the Indiana delegation should de-
eide that the post belongs to that
state as patronage Mr.. Kob1y might
have its backing.
Maurice Connelley of Iowa. former
representative in Congress. and defeat
ed candidate for senator, is the man
whose name is most frequently men
toned as an aspirant for the post. Mr..
Conneffey is a business man of indie
pendent means who is anxious to re-
turn to public life in Washington.

sity Of treating dangerous weapons
with proper precautions. He explained
the laws governing the sale and keep
ing of firearms in New York and a
