For month past various stores about
the city have been exhibiting signs,
..--......-- --.-.-.--.---.-.-. .--.-.--.--

....-...-,. .................. ........!..-
and advertisements have even been
crowded into the daily newspapers. AS
late as this morning the following ad-
vertisement appeared:

Der OF local detectives began some
days ago the investigation which re-
suited in the arrest Of Abram and his
son George for buying and selling gov
eminent supplies. Their examination
mas Deen set for next Tuesday after
noon Their bail was fixed at $4,000
Both Abram and his son deny the
charge, but a secondhand dealer, ia
COZ SteVeler, states that Abram sold
him twenty pairs of army shoes.
Three big wagon loads Of goods have
already been taken TO the hall of ius-
t1ce, and in every instance the men
from whom they were seized have ad-
mrtted buying the goods from Abram
and his son.
From a statement made TO-DAY it
would appear that the frauds were not
confined to clothing and shoes alone
1t was stated that upon an investiga-
ton OF the supplies furnished for the
army horses, it was found that the
rake Off some people secured
amounted to 100000 pounds of grain.
The army officials are now making
every effort to learn who profited by
this extensive fraud.
Late this afternoon Captain Seymour
stated that the governments officers
had discovered large quantities of
goods stolen from the government. The
goods were stored in a warehouse
south of Market street. The property
consisted of all kinds of military sup
plies Captain Seymour would not
give the address Of the warehouse

San Francisco, June 12.-GeneraI
Shafter and Colonel 8Iaus, inspector
general OF the department. Of Califor-
mia, and the federal grand jury are in
vestigating the many reports of fraud
committed in the cOmnissary branch
of the army service in this city. That
the reports seem to be based on some
thing more substantial than idle ru-
NOR is evidenced by the disclosures
following the arrest of Louis Abrarn &
Son, dealers in second hand clothing.
The extent of the alleged frauds has
not been determined and there is a di-
veTsity Of opinion on the subject. Cap
tain Seymour of the local detective
force, who is assisting the federal
grand jury, said today:
The government has unquestiona-
bly, been robbed for a long time past,
and I believe the amount Of the losses
sustained by Uncle Sam through the
treaChery and dishonesty of some Of
his army officers and others wiz reach
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.
'The federal grand jury has the
matter of prosecution in its hands and
the secret service men are doing its
bidding, the police merely rendering
assistance when such is found neces-
sary and is called for. believe that
arrests viii be made, probably by the
federal officers, that will startle the
community"
Major General Shafter said that the
matter had not been fully investigated
but admitted that thefts of clothing
have been going on. He claimed there
was no shortage in any department,
however. He continued.
Il have no personal knowledge of
this trouble, but it does not seem to
amount to a great deal. Recruits. per
haps, or soldiers, being hard-up, have
sold to these peddlers about the camps
shoes, blankets and other stores issued
20 the forces by the quartermaster'
department. 1t is a military offense
for soldiers to sell these stores and a
crime under the statutes for the ped
dIers to buy them, but the petty iIe-
gal traffic goes on. 1 am glad these
fellows have been caught, If they are

Berlin, June 12-Contrary to news
paper statements that a serious hitch

FORCED TO RETIRE.

New York. June 1o.-As result .of
losses sustained in the Jacksonville IRE.
one New YORK IRE insurance company
retired today from active business. When
The Flori6a loss was reported it was said
chat the Pacific Fire Insurance company
81 New York had been hit hard although
tn exact amount was not known. 1t
developed today, however. that the com
pany's losses as result OF one fire ag-
gregated $1,000 and that late last night
the company S risks were reinsured with
the Worcester Fire Insurance company of
New York.
The contract Of reinsurance went into
effect TO-DAY, so that the Pacific, which
ranked high among the smaller under
writing concerns is no longer in business.
The Jacksonville losses did not cripple
the Pacific. for it had a surplus beyond
all claims, but fl reduced its margin
above capital To such an extent that the
directors decided to withdraw frOE1 the
field. The Pacific had more than S60.0l0,
90 Of insurance in force, which will be
protected under the terms of the reinsur-
aisce deal.
