THE ARMoR.PLATE FRAUDS.

The report OF the Congressional Com
mittee on Armor-Plate Frauds, to which
ample space was given in the different
editions of THE Evening World' yes
terday. dIsposes of great deal of bosh
and brings us face to face with facts.
1t asserts that the Carnegie Company.
which In less than three years has had
more than Ave million dollars of con-
tracts for armor plates and bolts, has
been guilty of no less than eleven dis
tinct and separate forms of fraud on the
Government.
1t takes pretty ablebodied kind of
cheating to discover eleven different
ways Of doing II, but they are scheduled
In the report OF the Committee. They
include failure to treat plates uniformly.
false reports on treatment, failure To
give bolts "a second treatment, fraudu-
lent tests of tensile strength OF speci-
mems, substitutions of dummy speci-
mems for selected specimens. manipula-
ton of the testing machine, re-treating
selected specimens before testing them,
re-treating the plates selected for bal
listic tests, plugging OF blow-holes In
violation of contract and conccaling de-
fects OF this kind from the inspectors
duplicating or stealing the Government
stamp, and using II without the knovl-
edge Of the inspectors, and, lastly, using
false templets or gauges TO deceive the
inspectors who inspected the bolts.
This makes very bad showing not
only for the Carnegie Company but for
the Navy Department, which allowed
Itself to be fooled. hoodwinked and

become an accomplish after the fact
