 Washington, March 15.-Supervising Ar chieect Mullet- fully admits that government wss swindled in furnishing the stone for the San Francisco mint. Records clearly show that local superintendent Stebbins, alone, is responsible for accepting inferior stone on the contract.
 When Mullet reached San Francisco, saw the stone himself, he immediately denounced the swindie, and has ever since urged the Department not to pay another dollar to the contractors. Thus far no settlement has been made with Emery, who admits the stone in- ferior to sample. It is claimed that Stebbins insisted having it ,ffern another stratum of the quarry than the one from which the sam pie was taken. Mullet also opposing the in- fexibility. Emery's claim is S33, 900, in ad- dition to s74 900 already paid for Tagging.
 Mullet is severe in his denunciation of Elm cry and other California contractors, who, as . class, he thinks the most unreliable he ever had anything to do with. Emery seeking re- lease from the. granite contract for apprais- ers stone, Mullet opposes because Emery's release wouldgive the contract at higher fig ures to next bidder, Frspl,M. >Bropa,I who rumor says is Emsry's partner.
