DENIED AGENTS DEMAND
CLERKS BUY WAR BONDS
Charges of Soliciting in Bureaus of
Department Of Interior Called
False by Officials.

Charges that agents had been solicit
ing subscriptions for liberty bonds in
various bureaus of the Interior Depart
ment. and intimidating woman en-
ployes into putting their names down
for bonds, were Indignantly denied to-
ing Officer George w. Evans.
That it was possible for pan
handlers" to get into any bureau of the
department and solicit for the bonds,
with the object of pocketing the pro-
ceeds, was declared impossible by Off
Gals, who pointed out the rules against
such possible action, and instanced par
ticularly the armed guards now doing
duty throughout the department.
Disbursing Officer Evans has called a
meeting of heads of bureaus and offices
of the department to confer on a plan
of action for enabling such employees of
the department as may wish to sub
scribe to the bond issue to do so.
Chief Clerk AyreS yesterday called
the attention of Mr.. Evans to the fact
that sentiment in the department was
favorable to some concerted action to
afford employees the opportunity to sub
scribe to the bonds.
The Star is in receipt of letter in
which the writer declared that many of
have already been gone through by men
designated" the writer states, mot
merely asking, but demanding the pur-
bond"
The writer adds that many Of the
men were afraid not to buy, and AL of
the women were so intimidated by the
voice and manner of the bond sellers
that all. with few exceptions, said yes"
Inquiry of bureau heads and the cap
tain OF the watch failed to reveal any
substantiation for these charges
