Newport, r. l., March 5.-The police
department. has just beel notified of the
arrest of Paymaster John Corwine, U. s.
N, In Chicago, tonight. The police
there, report having secured upwards of
$1,000 Of the $4,000 he drew upon the check
an hour or two before his departure from
this city Monday.
Mrs. Corwine is In Washington plead
ing for her husband. She claims the
difficulty is due to shortage of his pay
clerk on the U. S. 5. Nipsio, on Pacific
cruise. Corwine made no complaint. up
on promise of the clerk to make up the
shortage In instruments. This finally
failed. The government officers appear to
have known something about tho case,
which originated ten years ago, though
owing to the loss of the Nipsio at Samoa,
her accounts have never been audited
and Corwine has been gradually making
up the shortage. The appearance of the
chief inspector here this week drove him
to desperate act. There Is much sympa-
thy for Corwine, who has been living
quietly and making up rapidly Of
