CHARGES MUCH DILUTED
Navy Yard Investigation Reduced
to Question Of Gross Discharge.
Unla wfuI Dismissal of Employees,
Pressure of Political Influence
and IntOxication Ignored.

Some time ago The Times published ex-
| clusively the fact that an investigation
had been called for by certain employees
Of specific abuses at the Washington Navy
Yard. The charges were formuiai cd by Mr..
William Gross, who had been relieved of
duty at the yard. This complainant fur
nished the Secretary of the Navy with the
names of seven witnesses who could sub
stantiate the charges.
When the petitlon was submitted The
Times was Informed at the Navy Depart
mem that the case would receive prompt
attention. The complaint alleged the un-
lawful discharge of the employees, the in
fluence of politics in the dismissals; that
men were drunk ON duty; that one of the
higher officers was Incompetent, having
his duty performed by others, and that
attention was needed to certain other
abuses.
Secretary was absent when the charges
were received. On his return he took up
the case and referred IL to the command
ant at the Navy Yard.
The cummaudant has undertaken the in
vest1gation, hearing in which was had
yesterday. After a short session the in-
quiry was adjourned until next Tuesday
at 10 O'Clock. The papers in the case were
prepared for Mr.. Gross by Mr.. A. b. Webb.
an attorney of this city.
II has been learned, however. that the
charges have been emasculated that
the man who made them won't know them
when the final report has been made. The
Secretary of the Navy, il is said, as
sumed the right to strike out all of the
charges except the one which sought to
establish that Mr.. Gross was wrongrully
dismissed. He therefore ignored all the
charges except that one, aud IL is that
on which the commaudant is expected
To reDOrt. The Secretary has II atpL that
the charges were of too vague a nature to
warrant inquiry.
II is not improbable, therefore. although
IL has not been positively stated that the
petition will be renewed after the disposi-
tion of the Gross case, with the names Of
the offenders aud the times and places
of the offeDses given.
