Petty Larceny i'm the Treasury De-
DArlment.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE com.
mittee that have been investigating the
alleged Irregularities in the expenditure
of the contingent fund of the Treasury
| Department presented to-day to SeCre
tary Window preliminary report ac.
companied by evidence that is said
| fully to sustain many Of tre allegations
that have been published in the news
papers. The Secretary has not had time
to read the report, and will not make
its contents public until he has had time
to peruse and examine it.
Since this investigation was begun a
local carpet-dealer has turned into the
Treasury the sum of$343, that sum hav-
ing been paid him twice by the custodian
OF the Treasury for one bill of goods.
To-day retail stationer named Bradley
Adams, who seems to havebeen favor
orite with those in charge Of the contin-
gent fund, covered into the Treasury
about 500, which was paid him for file
boxes that were never delivered. The
fact that these two sO-called discoveries
of payment made without any equita-
lent having been rendered were not
made by the persons interested until
the fraud was uncovered by the inves-
tigation, is peculiarly significant.
Mr. Pitney, the custodian of the Treas
ury building, who has had Immediate
charge of the disbursement of the con-
tingent fund, declined to respond to the
summons ofthe investig eating committee
and give testimony touching his official
