tion has been similar. Although I have
supposedly been the representatve of the
secretary in his dealings with nineteen dif
ferent bureaus and divisions of the treas
ury, I have not been allowed In the ag
gregate a total of more than one hour's
conversation with him, Including private
interviews and conferences in the pres
ence of others, during the entire last year.
Meanwhile I have sent him hundreds of
letters and memoranda, asking a decis
ion in regard to matters urgently pending.
On very rare occasions I have received
a reply within a short time; In a few
cases the reply has come only after the
lapse of & month; in many cases only
after a lapse of several months, (when
not infrequently the matters had already
settled themselves); but in the majority
of cases I have received no reply at all.
Yet -like the other officials mentioned,
who have refused any opportunity for
personal conferences, I have been
promptly criticised for any decision made
or action taken.
Department 1. Demoralised.
"The conduct of business tn A depart
ment under such conditions Is, of courBe,
Impossible. The energetic young men
whom Mr. MacVeagh was wise enough
to select as heads of various divisions
have been hampered and discouraged at
every turn by his idiosyncrasies, his as
tounding capacity for procrastination,
his Incapacity for decision and Jie pecu
liar moods of suspicion and aversion to
which he is constantly subject" .
"There has never been a time since
I have been in the treasury when he
has not labored under the delusion
that some of those who were working
loyally and conscientiously for him
were in a cabal conspiring against him.
This has led him to treat some of his
most efficient aides with harsh in
gratitude and with a lack of consider
ation that was little short of brutal.
Mentions Other Officers.
"My experience in these matters Is
only the familiar experience of the
majority of treasury officials. Mr.
McClung, the treasurer of the United
States in April of the present year,
found the delays, Indecision, diBtrust and
complaints of Mr. MacVeagh so intoler-
able that he brought the matter to Mr.
Hllles atention in the hope that you
might offer' some method of relief. Mr.
Ralph, the director of the bureau of
entravtng and printing, and Mr. Mur
ray, the comptroller of the currency,
have on several occasions with difficulty
been dissuaded from an Intention to
resign, due to no other reason other
than their lamentably unsatlfactory
relations with Mr. Macvengh. I am
told the same is true of Mr. Cabell, the
commissioner of internal revenue.
"For the foregoing reasons, whereby
the transaction, of all business pertain
ing to my office has become practically
lnipoaslM. I beg with Infinite , rcrt
te place, .my . resi&naticii as assistant
relations with Mr. McVeagh. I am

the assistant secretary plainly tells his
chief his reasons for resigning. He says
In part:
"Your disposition, methods and point
of view are such as to render Impossible
any real co-operation or any satisfactory
transaction of the government's business.
Until recently I have continued to hope
of the treasury In your hands."
to the transaction of the government's
business might change for the better,
but your peculiar disposition in this re
gard has continued to grow so as now
to render quite impossible any substan
tial accomplishment'
Resignation Was Requested.
'a he White House tooay made public a
statement written by President Taft:
"Mr. Andrew's resignation as assistant
secretary of the treasury was requested,
submitted and accepted in view of his
failure to obey orders given him by the
secretary."
This was the only comment President
Taft had to make.
Home Propose. Investigation.
A congressional investigation of Secre
tary MacVeagh's administration in the
Treasury department is impending as tKfe
result of a row of long standing between
the secretary and one of his assistant
secretaries, A. Piatt Andrew, which cul

Representative James Cox of Ohio to.

complete investigation of Mr. MacVeagh'
administration.
