Washington, June &c. -Supernten-
dent Cline, in charge of the ar1nor
plate press ait the Carnegie shop at
the time of the irregularities in the
filling of the government contracts,
began his Testimony before the con-
gressional investigation committee. He
said he construed the government spe-

uniform treatment" to mean that
there was to be uniform results. Cline
submitted abstracts of the slate for
the purpose of showing that the chang
es made were not for fraudulent pur-
poses. He made the changes, ne de-
clared, as a result of practical expert
ence. The changes covered the prior
work done on the plates, shown by the
workmen's figures. Cline charged that
Sills testimony as to the slaEas had

My supertors knew what I was do
ing, added Cline. He mentioned SUI
perintendent COME, of the ar171or shops,
as one who knew what was being done

details of the work, and such informa-

Cline said his changes in records
were based on starting from a cold
furnace, that is, he added, the time
necessary in getting The furnace hot
enough for the armor plates. Wit
ness said he destroyed the books on
his own responsibility. He denied that
he had stated that the capacity Of the
furnace was insufficient to do The gov

bureau, in it's review of weather condi-
tions says:
The week ending June 25 has been much
warmer than usual in the northern states
east of the Rockies. and from Virginia
westward to Missouri. The week was
cool in all states west of the Rocky
mountains.
In California, the cool weather retarded
the ripening of fruit, and some injury
to. growing crops resulted from high
winds.
During the past week, the rainfall has
been in excess over Kansas and Nebraska.
Timely rains also occurred in North Da-
kota and the northern portions of Mn
nesota. The rainfall was very light in
the southern portions of Missouri and
Illinois. where growing crops are much
in need of rain.
Throughout the principal corn states
the weather was especially favorable. the
threatened drought has been followed 10
by generous rains which leaves this crop
in promising condition.
