Secor Robson is very much alarmeC
over the report which the House Judi
ciary Committee are expected To max
soon, and the impeacn oient resolution
referred TO that committee last session
which were reported tn the Hons b

crooked ways of the Navy Department
Robson is bringing all kinds OF in
huences to bear on the members of tn
judiciary Committee to prevent them
Iif possible, from recommending hi
impeachment. Should it be reports

the law, and for corrupt and illegs
purposes. He has half dozen of hi
strikers, private secretaries, etc, o

days are numbered.
