TREASURY TO HAVE
HUGE NEW VAULT
About s1,25O,OOO Cost Of
Structure to Protect Hun
dreds of Millions.

A huge two-story vault, large enough
to hold hundreds Of millions of dollars,
soon will be constructed in the large
northwest court Of the Treasury Depart
ment Building
About s1,25O 900 will be spent on the
vault. Details of construction are kept
secret but it is known that the very
latest and most powerful construction
and most up-to-date burglar alarms will
be employed.
Contents to Be Shifted.
There Is one old vault now located
under ground in this court, but the
money stored In it has already been
heavily reduced. Its contents will be
shifted to other vaults in the Treasury
Department and In the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing.
The old vault will be torn away as
also will an old engine room in the
same court and the lower floor of the
new vault will be extended to cover the
entire courtyard A second story will
be built above ground Of slightly
smaller dimensions.
Changes Made Necessary.
In order to prepare for the new vault,
1t has been found necessary to move

Reinforcing will be necessary in the
floor Of the new sample room, and this
will be opened on November Z for this
steel reinforcement. Thirty-two-foot-
long beams will be employed Bids on
the vault construction itself probably
will be put on the market in about
three weeks.
Needed for Long Time.
There had been no new vaults con-
structed in the Treasury for about Is
years, 1t was estimated by officials. A
new vault had been needed for long
time, but Congress delayed allowing ap-
preparation for the purpose until the
last session.
The present vaults have not enough
capacity, it was explained, to allow the
paper money to cure for sufficient
time before sending 1t out into circula-
ton. The new larger vault will allow
the new money to stay In storage for
about three months before 1t is sent out.
The old vault has begun to deterior-
ate, it was explained. During hard
transforms the roof has been known

drift into habitual vagrancy if allowed

They have been given a raw deal at the
outset and have little reason to love or
respect the society which has treated
them 80 roughly. Kicks here and

nothing they can do which will make
any difference
But underneath the boys defiance.
say the social workers, there is usually
left spark Of some old ambition which
can be famed into life. Many of the
boys have been two or three years to

out in the midst of a college career.
Wherever it is humanity possible some
arrangements are made for the boy to
continue in school, and even the most

Keeps Hopeless Cases.
The Salvation Army gets, and keeps,
some Of the most hopeless cases A
group of about 80 Of them were gath

garage at 479 c street the other day

to the Salvation Army gives only the
barest details necessary for a record
Of the case. Sometimes, after he has
been around for few days he will re-
veal little more of his past life
There was q boy Of 16 who said he
had been on the road for four years,
ever since his mother died in New
MexicU He had stopped over occa-
sionally for few months at the home
Of a grandmother in Kansas, but she
could not support him. He had worked
at odd jobs here and there, always on
the move. Just outside of Alexandria
one of his fingers was so mashed by a
freight train door that it had to be
amputated. He was obliged to stay in
Washington for a few days until he

could get his arm out of the sling.
He wants TO workout nowhere is
there anything to do. He obviously
resented the questioning Of the Saliva
tion Army worker regarding his back
ground.
The other day boy came through
who said he had been on the fresh
man team at the University of Southern
California. He was interested only in
foot ball and got behind in his studies.
AS result he was expelled. He had

Another boy has been kept by the
Salvation Army because there appar-
emily is nothing which can be done for
him. He lives around the lodging house
and does odd jobs. His sole interest is
music. Arrangements have been made
with a nearby church to allow him to
practice on the piano. No home can
be found for him and no regular job.
He appears entirely lacking in the ag-
gressiveness of personality which might
attract an employer.

Boys between 16 and 81, the Salvation
Army workers say, are the most diff

are open for younger boys. but nobody

GRANT FOR PARLEY
ON VETERANS PAY
Confident FurIough Policy Will
Be Found Best for Build
ings Guard.

A conference with John J. McMeel.
adjutant Of Federal Chapter No. Of
the Disabled American Veterans was
suggested yesterday by Lieut. Col U. S.
Grant Sd. director of Public Buildings
and Public Parks. in order to demon
strate to the veterans that the present
system of administrative furloughs on
the buildings guard force is equitable.
Contrary to the belief of the veterans,
the colonel said in a letter to Mr. Nc
Meel. "the policy I have adopted is
not only fair to all, but favorable to
the disabled veterans as class" Radi-
cal reductions in appropriations for
the guard force have brought about
compulsory furloughs for these men, UP
to as high as four months.
Basis Of Objection.
The veterans objected to Col. Grants
Office basing the furlough on the total
amount of income a veteran received
from Federal sources, including his
salary, pension, or disabled compensa-
ton.
Col Grant wrote:
If your recommendation were car
ried out and the present policy discard
ed, furlough of 81 members of the
guard who are now on the pension role
would be increased. AS concrete ex-
ample, a disabled veteran who is re-
ceiving an annual pension OF $500 and
an Office salary of $1,000, under the
policy now in effect Is to be furloughed
for period amounting to 1924 during
the year. while it would be necessary
under your scheme to reduce his pay
by s252 for the year. This difference
would. of course, rapidly increase as the
amount of the annual pension de-
creaseS; only the receiving the high
est pensions are very slightly affected
adversely and they should be willing to
accept the slight differential for the
benefit of their 81 colleagues who are

Invites . Conference.
ut seems to me clearly apparent that
a saving to the disabled veterans on
the guard force is now being made in
excess of what would be possible under
any other equitable system which could
be put into effect For this reason I

but I can do so categorically. As TO
the first calumny, I have not, since

owned any interest directly or indirect
ly in any kind of business outside OF
the boundaries of the United States, in
Guiding any concern producing. trans
porting or distributing oil. Twenty

second defamation that am asked to

refused to employ white workers. To

its fraudulent character by various sub
stantial men.
An Empire to Itself.
I might add one further note of
interest 10 the Pacific Coast States. Re-
peatedly in these last four years in
illustrating what may be accomplished
under the American system of govern
ment, and by virile people, I have
pointed out publicly and privately. time
and again, the great example Of the
Pacific Coast States, an empire to itself
where 100000 people have settled In
period of less than IS years, have
builded State Of society In which
there has been a degree Of comfort, an
addition to the sum total Of human
possessions, a diffusion Of wealth, and
security that is not exceeded by any
similar area on the face Of the globe,
no matter now old. And where, with
1t all, they have advanced in educa-
tion and intellectual pursuits to the
degree that the total number of stu
dents in institutions of higher learning
amongst only 8,00000 people, is greater
tutions IN the whole of Great Britain
with its populations of 45,O0O,00O.
I am asking you should vote to main
tain our American institutions which
have given you this well-being, not
halt them because Of temporary dis
satiSfactions with forces outside the
control OF our Government. And It Is
my purpose tonight to bring to your
minds that this march and progreas
should not be halted nor destroyed.
l do not hesitate to ask you TO 90
express your citizenship next Tuesday
as to insure the continuance of this
progress, which over the years has
made California what it is. 1t must
not deter me from the solemn duty of
appealing to you to vote on the basis
Of the constructive measures and pol
icies of the Republican party which
have protected you from great disasters
in the past and have turned the coun-
try toward recovery and not allow your
votes to be inspired by misrepresenta-

When this tariff was passed, with its
outrageous rates. these laws started us
on the road where we now find our
selves, and that is the road OF ruin"
He further states:
Here on the Pacific Coast 1t has had
a destructive effect in our Oriental
trade"
He repeated at Sacramento:
I have called immediate attention to
the tariff that has done so much to
destroy foreign trade by making foreign
trade virtually impossible. I called for
consideration Of means by which trade
with the Orient, which has 30 largely
been destroyed, may be restored"
In the face of the facts, no one has q
right to broadcast such statements
blaming the people of the Pacific Coast.
I may mention after that tariff bill was
passed our exports to China increased
from $4,000 900 in the fircal year 1881
to s93,000,000 in the fiscal year 1882;
exports to Japan increased from $146,-
100000 in the fircal year 1881 to $240,-
100000 in the fiscal year 1892. And
even this is not the whole story, for if
we were to analyze the effect Of the de-
crease in world prices We would find on
quantity basis that our Oriental trade
is even larger than is shown by dollar
valuation. While our opponent Is ig-
norant Of the facts. he reveals his hos
tility to the tariffs on Pacific Coast
products.
In fact, the true cause Of sRsa ssal
calamity which interrupted our entry
into the road Of recovery some la

James Il. HuSS

Stricken with paralysis early
Monday morning, at the home
of his sister, Mrs. Mary Keith
ley, on Mount street, Rising
GUN, James T. Huss fingered
until afternoon when he passed
away. The deceased was in
his S3rd year, and despite his
advanced age enjoyed good
health. He was in his usual
health on Sunday and helped
entertain friends at his home.
About six o'clock Monday
morning he called Mrs. Keith
ley to his room and told her he
could not move his arm. A
physician was summoned but
Mr.. Huss soon lapsed into I'M
consciousness and died about
three-thirty in the afternoon.
The deceased was a son of
John and Sarah Ann Huss and
was born in Pennsylvania.
Most of his long life was spent
in Cecil county. For thirty
three years he resided at Cal
vert, where he was sexton of
Rosebank cemetery. His wife
died about ten years ago.
Mr.. Huss was member of
the Order of American Me-
chanics, being one of the or
ganizers of Banner Council at
Calvert, more than twenty-five
years ago.
One brother and one sister
survive: Franklin Huss, of
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Keith
ley, of Rising Sun, with whom
he had made his home for
some years.
Funeral services were held
Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock, in Rosebank M. E.
Church, Calvert, and burial
made in the nearby Friends
burying ground.
