CRUISER IN TROUBLE.
Charleston Has Corroded Rivets
and Bolts in Her Keel.
Dry Oocked with Great Secrecy at
Mare Island Yard.
Result of Poor Material or NeCli.
gcnce and insufficient Paint.
,By Associated PrsssN

SAN FRANCISCO. July s6.-The Ex-
aminer says:
Just why there should he SO much
secrecy in and about the stone dry dock
at the Mare Island Navy-Yard and on
board the United States cruiser Charles
ton. which rets or its keel within
the dry dock, has been the subject OF
much wonder. The real cause is the
fact that the keel OF the cruiser has
been found to be IN a bad condition and
one involving serious consequences. had
not the trouble been discovered by the
naval constructor
The keel bolts or rivsts have become
corroded and eaten away To depth
varying from ons-eishth to one-half ~
an inch directly amidships. and in some
instances is 90 bad that on picking
away the outer rust water from the
inner huh comes dripping through upon
the workmen. Corroded rivets which
passed their time of usefulness can be
found fully one-half the length of the
keal
The exact cause OF the corrosion and
the reasons to be expected therefor are
questions Of opinion among naval peo-
pie. There are those who claim II to
be Que TO inferior material used in the
rivets, while others proclaim it to be
the result OF inattention and an insult
nclent amount Of paint to properly pro-
tect the rivets from the action of the
water
Despite all the secrecy exercised these
facts have come to light, and at present
a force of riveters Is working over
time boring out the rusted and honey
combed rivets and replacing them with
the best steel obtainable. 1t Is now ac-
knowledged that the discovery made on
the Charleston will cause naval inspec-
tors to more thoroughly inspect the
keels of ships on their going into dry
the Charleston will be returned to the
navy yard after short cruise. when
all her keel rivets will be removed and
| new ones put in.

'GOFF HOT AFTER THEM
Detectives Denounced for Selling
Brush's Papers,
Forced a Way Into the House
Without a Warrant.
Judge MARITIME Condemns the Con-
duct of the Men.

John W. Goff, counsel to the Lexow
Investigation Committee. caused some
thing of a sensation in Part l. OF the
Court of General Sessions this after
noon. Judge MARITIME is presiding there.
Mr.. Golf demanded in a motion that
{ certain papers which had been taken
from his client. John S. Brush. now in
generated in the Tombs awaiting trial
for forgery, be at once returned by
order of the Court
He characterized the Selling OF the
papers as a grossly outra geous act and
accused Detective Sergts. McClusky
and Mulry, of the Central Office. of com
hitting a burglary when they entered
Brushs house and took the papers.
ION Nov. .. Your Honor" said Mr.
COT, these two officious detectives
went to 800 IL West Twenty-fourth
f srssS sey ran yso the BELL T and
Mrs. Brush came to the door, pushed
her aside and went into the parior
There they demanded of this woman
that she at once send tor iocksmith
and have the lock forced on a tin box
which stood on the shelf.
Mrs. Brush, although knowing that
her husbands private papers were in the
key, had the lock forced. McClusky and
; Mulry then helped themselves to what
they desired OF my clients private
papers. 49,.
Among the, papers were two Aoogo
bonds of the New Orleans Mobile and
Texas Railroad Company, an application
for a United States pension, bearing
Brush's signature in his own handHrit-
ing. and a World advertisement for
his house.
Now, Your Honor this act on the
part of the detectives was nothing less
than burglary. and there is no law
which will uphold the seizure"
Mr.. Golf drew Judge Marines atten-
ton tn the strike proceedings at chi
cago, when the Federal authorities con-
fiscated the private and unopened let
ters OF President Debs. of the American
Railway Union.
Your Homo" continued Mir. Goff
Justice GrOsscup peremptorily ordered
President Debs's letters returned. Under
the same condition my client is entitled
to his papers.
Assistant District. Attorney Weeks
argued against the motion. He declared
that the pension application was signed
by Mr.. Brush. and the handwriting was
essential as evidence to prove the in
dictment of forgery hanging over him.
Judge MARITIME ordered the railroad
bonds turned over to Mr.. Cor for Brush
The other papers were given into the
custody of the clerk of the court.
At the same time Judge MARITIME
deprecated the manner in which Me
Clusky and Mulry had obtained the pa
pers He declared they should have
