ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION DENIED The Guardian of the National Treasury Declares That the Bids of Mr. Graves Were Treated In a Regular Manner, and Denies Graves' Statements. Washington. April 25. In tho suit brought by William Graves, of New York, In tho snprorao court of tho District of Uo luinbin, ngulnst tho 6ccrotary of tho treasury lu which ho claims that ho was, through tho unlawful anil hostile action of tho treasury department officials, pre vented from securing $1,500,000 of tho re cent Issue of 4 nor cent bonds, Air. Carlisle yestordny Hied mi affidavit showing his sldo of tho case. Tho nfildovlt charge Graves with with holding from tho courta full recital ot tho facts, and with making wrong Impres sions by falso recitals, and by garbling correspondence Tho main ground of Graves complaint, It Is stated, Is that ho did not promptly rc- cclvo notlco of tho acceptanco of his bid, becauso It was simply directed to him at rew York, and that by reason ot this, and tho refusal of tho secretary to oxteud tho tlmo for doposltlng thu first instalment of gold, or Bond tho bonds to Now York so that tlioy could bo dollvcred simultane ously with tho doposlt, ho was wrong fully deprived of tho benefits of his con tract. This contention Is denied by tho secretary, who recites In detail all of tho facts in connection with Graves' bid. What Is regarded as a vory significant fact Bet out lu the nffidavlt is that Graves, nf tor ho failed to got an extension ot tho tlmo for payment and to get tho bonds sent to Now York before payment, mode a second bid, on Feb. 15, of 1.13U for all bonds that tho secretary might oonsidor In default on that date, Including thoso awarded him on his first bid. No refer ence to this now bid is mado In his potl tlon. Tho most striking featuro of tho af fidavit is tho charprn that Graves flics ns an oxhlblt to his potltlon what purports to bo a copy of a letter wrltton by him l'ob. 15 to tho socretnry, but which contains state ments which It is said woro not lu tho original letter and omits statements which wcro. Tho affidavit states that on Feb. 17 Gravos was insisting on Ills second bid, having abandoned his first bid, and that tho facts in regard to his socoud bid woro suppressed In his petition. Tho affidavit donlos tho statomonts In tho potltlon that Gravos niiulo a tcudor at tho Now York suu-troasury on nccouut or his allotment, and says that naver at any tlmo was any tondor mado by or for him. It also doulos tho avormonts that Gravos was at all times aftor ho was notlfiod of his allotment of bonds ready, willing and ablo to pay for them, according to tho terms and conditions of his bid. AH of tho charges In tho petition that Graves was treated in any wlso dluerontly from other bidders aro denied, ns Is tho statemont thut bonds woro sent to tho suu-troasury at Now York for othor per sons boforo their deposits woro mado. Tho nffidavlt closes as follows: "It wus necessary that tho loan should be successfully carrlod through, and in such away as to prevent gold already In tho treasury from being drawn out of it. It was desirable that tho loan should ho as widely distributed as possible and among bona fido bidders. "None of thoso ends could hnvo been ac complished If Irrusponslblo porsous could hayo bid, with no limitations as to time, thus being enabled to keep tho govern ment from realizing on tho loan oxcept at their pleasure, and turning tho wholo scheme Into a mere speculation. "Tho statement that thoro are 6tlll In the treasury department of tho said issue of bonds undelivered nun uuuisposou or an amount of bonds exceeding $5,000,000 is untrue. All tho bonds of sukl tlOO.000,000 Issue liavo hoon sold to bona fido purchas crs. In nccordanco with thq torms of tho circulars olToring the bonds to tho puuno.

A regular meeting of tho Board of Health was held last evening with Messrs.

Spald ing made an address in which ho advocated that the rules hearing upon typhoid cases bo modified. Ho read n communication from Dr. Lee, secretary of tho Stato Board of Health, on tho subject. It is tho opinion of the medical profession that typhoid fever is comimmicahlo only in a limited scuso and generally through tho medium of taking food or drink in the homes of tho allllctcd. It is very seldom that the disease is spread by other means. After some discussion it was understood by the Hoard that, while the disease will not prevent the attendance of children in the same house from attending the public schools, nor will the Heard insist upon tho funerals of tho victims being private. Health OlllcerCoiiry submitted hismonthly report and stated that the majority of the people aro readily complying with orders to nuprovo the sanitary condition ot tncir premises and only a tow aio disposed to bo tubboru. If the hitter persist In their courso legal steps will bo taken against them. Tho people wlio aro tho most obstinate, as a rule, aro those who aro better ablo to comply with tlio wishes of the Board. Tho borough authorities aro getting the streets in good shape, from a sanitary point of view, and promiso to givo the alleys attention next week. President Spalding announced that he had received communications from J, J. Frailer and Sol. Haak, complaining of nuisances on Pear alley and Oak street, created by private properties cm the latter street, and one on Janlin street. Tho committee ou nuisances will investigate tho places.
