Washington. Important changes In
ofllcers nnd a now swing In the admin
istrative work of the treasury occurred
Monday. Two acting secretaries step
ped out or office, one Into private life,
nnd the other to other olllclal duties.
With the departure of Ormsby Mc
Harg, assistant sercretary of com
merce for New York, Solicitor Karl of
that department becomes acting secre
tary. Mr. Mcllarg has been acting sec
retary for a goodly portion of the past
few months In the absence of Secre
tary Nagel. Ho has boon trying for
some weeks to leave public office in
order to nssunie his new duties as n
member of the firm of Noble, Jackson
& Hubbard in New York city, but
stayed on pending the selection of his
successor. It Is understood Secretary
Nngel favors as Air. McIIarg's succes
sor a man living In the middle west.
Mr. Nngel, who Is expected here No
vember 7, has conferred with the pres
ident and will ninko the announcement

takes ofllce. a complete count of the
moneys In Uncle Sam's cash box Is
necessary, and for severnl months u
large number of employes will be kept
busy.
Mr. Treat leaves behind him a num
ber of reforms. Probably his most
radical change was the formation of
a committee composed of the chiefs of
the various treasury divisions.
This "committee of the treasurer's
cabinet" met eveiy Tuesday. Through
the cabinet Mr. Trent managed to do
away with a great amount of duplica
tion. During the formative period of
tho Payne tariff bill Mr. Treat was
called upon for expert advice by mem
bers of both houses of congress. His
reward came in a bill Increasing his
salary from $0,000 to $8,000 a year. Ho
also was actlvo In advising the mem
bers or the monetary commission.
Strong efforts wero made to have
Mr. Treat retained. Hundreds or let
ters are on file In the department ask
ing his retention. Flvo state banking
associations petitioned the president
to keep Mr. Treat In office. It is said.
