THE CARTER CASE AGAIN.
Atlantic Contracting Company Goes
to the Court of Claims.

From the New York World.
Washington July 21.-The Atlantic Con-
tracing Company of New York has made
most emphatic declarations that it dealt
fairly with the government in all the Sa-
vannah and other harbor work done by
it under the direction of Capt. Oberlin
NJ. Carter, who has been sentenced by
courtmartal for conspiracy to defraud
the government Notwithstanding these
declarat tons the company, which is charg-
ed with having been in collision with Capt.
Carter, has taken what government Off
Gals claim is a most underhand method to
secure the payment of vouchers amount
ing to $3.50, 600 given it by Capt Garter I'M
der the continuing contract system.
All the claims of this company against
the government were recently thrown into
the Court of Claims for adjustment. In
this manner the company expects to Sc
cure the money, a result which otherwise
would be an impossibilty.
The routine channel for the Atlantic
| Contracting Company to obtain the
amount claimed would be to make appli-
cation to Capt Gillette, now in charge
of the work as Capt Carriers successor.
| This was never done by the company.
A letter was sent to Gen. John NJ.
Wilson, chief of engineers by the com
pany demanding settlement Gen. VIII
son replied that application should be
made to capt Gh!ette. The company gave
no heed to this communication, but pre-
scented the vouchers OF capt. carter at
