Yet United States Attorney Is Waiting for Instructions From Law Department ARREST MAY BE TO-DAY Agent Bert Thomas Looking Over the Book Accounts of All Revenue Employes No new developments of any impor- | tance were made yesterday in the mat- | ter of the defalcations of former Chief | Deputy George A. Wright of the United | States Internal Revenue.office and of | Cress Unger, the suspended seizure clerk of the Custom House. The lat- . ter department was closed on ac- {count of the election, the only i offices open being those of the day watchman and the Survevor of Cus- | toms to transact whatever urgent bus- ! iness might turn up, Deputy Surveyor | Chauncey M. St. John remaining in ‘ his office for the greater part of the day. The Internal Revenue office was open as usual, Special Revenue Agent :Bert M. Thomas being busy in going ! through the books and accounts of | Wright. Mr. Thomas said that he was ! investigating the whole office, includ- ||ng the outside deputies and would | probably be engaged in that work for two weeks yet. Stories affecting the competency and carefulness of Stamp Clerk Pratt are also being looked into, but with what result has not yet been made public.

McEnerpey, John | Alexander Britton and Frederick Wil- liam Dohrmann. Attorney Charles E. Snook was also there. A vote of thanks was extended to| Mrs. Martin Kellogg for her gift to the | university of the classical library of her late husband, comprising about 300 | velumes.
