That Mr. Gorgas as well as the

"talk" and that neither has really ac- i

accomplish anything for the Improve- j

Commissioner Lynch.

en Thousand Dollars
in Currency Is Sent to
U. S. "Conscience Fund"
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., July 20. Ten
thousand dollars In currency, the sec
ond largest contribution to the "con
science fund" ever received by the
Government, arrived at the Treasury
Department to-day In a plain envelope,
mailed yesterday at New York, ac
companied by an unsigned letter say
ing: „
"The sender has paid double to the
United States the amount he stole and
still conscience is not satisfied. Here
is another payment."
The package contained three one
thousand dollar gold certificates, eight
five hundred dollar certificates and
thirty one hundred dollar silver and
gold notes.
Treasury officials found nothing In
the letter or amount to Indicate a
connection with any, of the govern
ment's losses by fraud or theft, so they
placed it with the $500,000 more
which has accumulated in the Treas
ury vaults from conscience stricken
folk who have sent sums hanging from
one cent to $18,669. The largest sum
ever received, came In 1909, probably
from some one who had committed a
customs fraud. The SIO,OOO package
to-day came addressed to Secretary
McAdoo and was marked "Personal."

GORGAS' RESOLUTION
MEANT ONLY TO DELAY,

Action on His Proposal to Tie Up

poned
SOLICITOR'S VIEWS ASKED
Gorgas Now Says He Didn't Say
Republican Members
"Bungled"
Until City Council receives an
opinion from City Solicitor D. S. Seitz
as to whether or not the city may
proceed with the completion of the
river front wall by continuing the
steps through the gap at Market street,
no final action will be taken on tha |
Gorgas resolution authorizing the pay- j
ment to W. H. Opperman and Com-'
pany of the arbitrators' award.
The City Commissioners by a vote of
3 to 2 decided this to-day following an |
exciting session. During the more or j
less heated discussion between Com-1
missioners {Taylor, Bowman and Lynch |
and. Commissioner Gorgas and Mayor
Royal many of the facts which Mr.
Lynch made in his interview before i
Council met, were reiterated.
The attitude of Mayor Royal and
Commissioner Gorgas was stated by I
Commissioner Taylor who, much to
the annoyance of Messrs. Royal and
Gorgas, summed up the situation as
follows:
"Why not complete all the work
and make a finished job of it
since there isn't enough in the
public works fund to pay the
Opperman award but there is
enough to finish the improve- ,
ments now pending.
"The whole purpose of this
resolution of Mr. Gorgas' to my
mind, is simply to delay the work
and prevent the colsing of the
gap at Market street."
Messrs. Lynch and Gorgas had a
lovely half hour when Mr. Gorgas
Just couldn't or wouldn't remember
that he had been present with Mr.
Woifarth, the other bondsmsyi for
Stucker Brothers, the wall contractors,
when the Board of Public Works, the
contractors, their bondsmen and Mr.
Lynch arranged the agreement last
February. Tt was at this time that
the retention of the estimate was dis
cussed.
Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and.
Taylor incidentally practically conv
