GOVERNMENT ECONOMY
 WHICH DID NOT PAY.
Brooklyn Navy Yard Drydock Almost Use less Because Constructed
 Of Wood

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-A dispatch from Washington to the effect that Represen- tative Hilborn of the House Naval Com mittee would introduce a resolution call ing for Congressional investigation of al- legged defective construction of the Brook lyn navy-yard drydock created somethino of a stir among the officers at the yard to-day.
 One of the officers said that sue. com mittee as Representative Hilborn would have appointed could do no more than numerous engineers connected with the Bureau of Yards and Docks, who had ex- amined the dock when completed, and they all agreed that the dock was faulty in construction. They had long ago de- cided that if the dock was to be saved 1t could only be done by converting it into a composite dock by concreting It had long ago been agreed by engineers who had examined the dock that the real secret Of faulty construction lay in the fact that the Government had attempted to practice false economy when it ordered wooden drydock instead of one of stone The reason assigned at the time the plans for the big dock were adopted for build Ing It of wood instead of stone was that the cost of a wooden dock would be less than half that of a stone dock. The fal- lacy of the argument now was apparent, and that was about all that any Congress sional committee could get out of an in- VeStigation.

More Trouble in Store for the Officers of the
 Station.
Accused of Fraud in the Pur- chasing of Marine
 Supplies.
Contracts Let at Exorbitant Prices to Merchants Who Returned
 Rake-Off
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: An in- Vestigation of another scandal in the Brooklyn Navy Yard will commence to-morrow. Under orders issued by Secretary Long Il court of inquiry will convene to determine upon whom rests the responsibility for alleged questionable practices which have pre-
 vailed for several years in the marine
 barracks. The court will be composed Of Captain Merrill Miller as president and member and Lieutenant Com mander J. D. J. Kelley as recorder.
 The matter was first brought to the attention Of the department by a Brooklyn merchant named Wallace. who charged that the officers were guilty of fraudulent practices in en- tering into contracts for supplies. The department directed an investigation by an officer in whom it had confidence and it is understood that in his report he substantiates the merchants charges. From what can be learned the charges are of such a grave char | acter that there is a possibility of 1 court -martials for both officers and en- listed men, resulting from the inves- tigation.
 IL appears that the charges center
 around the methods pursued by the marine barracks in making contracts for supplies. For instance, if a lawn mower were in the account, MT. Wal lace charged that an enlisted man, act ing as clerk, would go to a favored merchant and inform, him that ar
 engagements would be made whereby he could get the contract provided he would engage to give in return 10 per cent of the contract price. The clerk would then invite the merchant to bid
 on the lawn mower and would send similar invitations to two of his em- ployes. The merchant would bid an
 excessive price on the lawn mower but the clerks would bid higher, and he, being the lowest bidder, would | consequently be awarded the con- tracts.
 Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Higbee is
 the commandant of the barracks. It is alleged that the practices extend
 over several years, and that many en- listed men concerned have been dis | charged. Another matter brought to
 the attention of the department was ! that of an officer in the barracks, who, ! it is alleged, contracted for three stoves
 for the barracks but instead of being
 supplied with stoves the barracks were | furnished with grates. All papers in | the matter have been referred to Cap 1 tain Miller and Lieutenant Commander | Kelly.

 The protest against the confirmation of the nomination of A. A. Withrow as postmaster at Santa Clara was received by Senator Perkins to-day and filed with the Postoffice Committee of the Senate. Among the signatures is that of the State Senator from that district and the editor of the Santa Clara News. The petition CTS allege that Withrow is a non-resi- dent of the city of Santa Clara. Con- gressman Loud. upon whose recommen- dation MT. Withrow was appointed ap- peared before the committee to-day and made an argument advocating his con- firmation. There is hardly a doubt that Withrow will be confirmed, for Senator Perkins will not offer any strenuous op- position, contenting himself with the filing of the petition.

seek him out to say to him that his at tendance was an unexpected pleasure Braly was asked if he had not made mistake, as he had always been known as a stanch Democrat. Braly an- swered that he had left the Democratic party and was then a Republican. Bra ly was named by the caucus as noml- nee to attend the Republican city con- vention, but when the ballot was taken he only had four votes to his credit, so he neither attended the Republican convention nor received the nomination for School Director. He was afterward nominated by the Democratic city con vention, at his own request, and, as already stated, received the indorSe- ment of the league.
 This is the member of the School Board who is held up as a model by the syndicated press of Los Angeles, and who is defended by these same pa pers-the Times, the Herald and the Express-after he has been shown to be guilty of a feloniouS act while serving as a School Director. This is the man who F. K. Rule, the president of the League for Better City Government says has committed no violation Of the law in shaving" teachers warrants at his bank.
 When H. w. O'Melveny was asked to- day if he had attached the names of Messrs. Gibson, Newberry, Forman and Francis to the petition previously mentioned he replied that he had no recollection of having done so. He de- clared that all the names attached to the petition were the names of those present at the time the petition was siened, and that if the gentlemen did not sign their names themselves the names were attached by their author ity. When again asked the question he repeated that he had no recollection of having signed any other persons name, and added, but I would not say positively"
 Frank A. Gibson, whose name is said to have been attached to the pe- tition by MT. O'Melveny, said that he had heard of his name being l aced thereon, that he did not see the peti- tion and therefore had no direct knowledge on the matter. and that if his name was placed thereon by Mir O'Melveny it had been placed there in good faith.

to-day gave a very vivid description of the encounter with the robber in the hallway of the hotel in the early morning of November F. They iden- tifed Winters, the robber, beyond ques- tion.
 Patrick Ferriter, for the second time in court, swore that he recognized Ray mond on the stairs immediately pre- ceding the shooting.
 Constable Fred Desirelli testified to having seen the two men, Winters and Raymond, late on the evening of the 18th in Baden.
 Lieutenant Burke testified to state ments made by Raymond to him when arrested on the 17th of November. Raymond, he said, told him he had Teen in San Jose for the past two months immediately prior to the fatal occurrence in the Grand Hotel and yet it was proved that he was in Baden a week previous thereto.
 The result of the two trials has given general satisfaction here, and 1t Is thought that the examples made of these two men will greatly discourage these hard characters from frequenting San MateO County.

DOC TORS DIFFER AS TO
 MRS. cREEDE'S SANITY.
Experts for the Defense Take Issue With the Physicians Who Testified for
 fhe Contestants.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.-In the Creede will case to-day the defense began with a line of expert medical testimony to prove the opposite to what physicians who had testified for the contestants had stated.
 pr. Kurtz stated that he would not conclude under the conditions given that Mrs. Creede was of unsound mind at the tune that she signed the contract. On the contrary, he said, her morals might be depraved by her long-continued use of morphine and her intellect still remain unclouded. Her mind, he said, would not be affected by the use of the drug until after physical decay.
 Dr. Hughes was examined along the same lines as Dr.. Kurtz. He stated that after hearing Mrs Creede testify upon the witness-stand since the trial began he believed that she was a person of per- fectly sound mind
