CHICAGO FIRMS ASK REaaTEs
outcome of Discovery of Custom
Frauds in New York

CHICAGO. August 1G.-As a result Of
the recent exposure Of alleged frauds In the
New York customs service several Of the
big wholesale dry goods firms of Chicago
nave Med claims with the board OF ap-
praisers asking sums aggregating hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars as rebates
1t was through the watchfulness of Chi
cago companies that the government dis
covered a conspiracy In the New York
custom house. says the Chronicle Last
May buyers for Chicago importers found
that goods bought in Toxic and shipped to
the United States cost more than the same
articles could be bought for from certain
hrms in New York. So the Chicago men
got together and instituted a quiet inves-
tisation- They collected their evidence and
filed protests with the Treasury Denart-
ment at Washington.
the protests contained disclosures that
called for immediate action, and govern
ment detectives were set at work at once.
me claims the Chicago merchants have
fled with the board of appraisers are being
considered now, but official action probably
Will not be taken until the investigation has
been finished

COM. DENIES GRIEVANCE
ALLOWED HIGHER SALARY, THEN
DENIED TT.
Now He Must Repay Difference and
VIII Lose His Pay Until II
II Refunded.

Mr.. Tracewell. the controller Of the treas
ury, has decided that an officer who Is IN
arrears to the government cannot be al
lowed to settle the arrearage In monthly
payments, but that his salary must De
withheld in full each month until his ar
rearage is settled The decision was rem
dered in the case of Lieut. Commander Il.
G. Denig. United States navy. and the case
is most peculiar one in many respects.
The question was whether Paymaster
Reach could be authorized to check month
ly the sum of $50 against the account Of
Lieut. Commander Denig.
In stating his case Lieutenant Com
mander Denig said:
'In June 1899, the second controller OF
the treasury decided that 1 was entitled to
pay as feet engineer, to wit, 81 400 per an
mum. = In October, 1900, I received
difference between fleet engineers pay and
that of lieutenant commander. l ceased to
draw the additional pay at the end OF Oc-
tober. Thus nearly year was allowed to
elapse before this checkage reached me,
and, moreover, the previous quarters, COM
prsing six months, had passed the auditor,
owing to the controllers decision OF June,
1884,
Der 10, 1900, the second controller reversed
his former decision, reaudited his accounts
and checked against the former Denig) the
sum of S1,3O09O. This information, Denig
states, did not reach him until March, 1901.
Since April Is, 1901. Denig has received
no pay, and has been obliged to borrow
at high rate of interest to meet neces-
sary expenses of himself and family. He
claims that this condition of his accounts
Is entirely due to the second controllers
reversal of his own decision, and to the
slowness with which accounts are audited.
This hardship was further intensified by
the stopping of my allotment continues
Mr.. Denig, land / consider my appeal In
every way a just one. do not see how 1t
will be possible for me to live among
strangers, nor how I can properly perform
my duties as Inspector of engineering ma
terial of considerable district, for 1 must
advance my official expenses for six or
seven weeks. greater checkage than
$50 I cannot stand as obligations are COM
ing due and must be met. AS l was over
paid at the rate of $75 per month, 1t seems
but just that / should return it at about
the same rate. This checkage will reduce
my pay lower than it has been for many
years. yet my expenses are greater"
Concluding his opinion in the matter, Mr..
TraceweI said:
II think that it may be considered as set
tied that where an officer is indebted to the
United States payment of his salary is pro-
hibited until such Indebtedness is dis
charged.
Il have, therefore, to inform you that
under the provisions of the Revised Stat
utes no part of the compensation of Lieu
tenant Commander Denig should be paid
while he is in arrears to the United States"

MISS KELLEY's FURNITURE,
Property Clerk Wants to Sell 1t to
Pay Storage Costs


James Kemp. property clerk of the metro
politan police department, this afternoon
nled a request with the District Commits
sioners for permission to advertise and sell
at public auction a large quantity of fur
niture found by the police in December,
1899, in front of and adjacent to premises
No. GOT 9th street northwest
The furniture in question is the un-
claimed property of Miss Mary E. Kelley,
and since the police removed it from it's
position on the sidewalk, nearly two years
ago, 1t has been somewhat of a white ele-
ion was rendered by the controller of the
treasury in April, in which he declares
that bill for the storage of the furni-
ture by the police could not be paid out
of any appropriation available to that de-
partment. This bill amounts to $160, and
the request for the sale of the furniture
now is to settle this account with the pro-
ceeds. For several months past the po-
lice have stored this furniture in quarters
belonging to the department without in
curing rent liability.
The various legal representatives Of Miss
Kelley have been informed by the police
on several occasions that Miss Kelley could
have her property free of all cost If she
would only come and take 1t away. She
has not done so, and the only reason known
to the police Is that she intends bringing
suit against the department for the seizure
of the goods.
The request made this afternoon to allow
the goods to be advertised and sold has
not yet reached the Commissioners for &C
ton.

=. LARCHMONT, n. Y, August 16.-The
i=crews of the Constitution and the Column
bia began the work of preparing the two
big cup defenders for their first contest of
the LarchmoHt Yacht Club series early this
y morning. The sky was yelled by thin
haze, while a soft southwest breeze was
! just ruffiing the placid waters of Long
Island sound. The regatta committee of
the Larchmont Club had arranged thirty
mile triangular course, but owing to the
narrowness of the sound at this point the
triangle was half the usual size, being five
miles side. or fifteen miles around, the
yachts sailing it twice, the starting point
just at the entrance of the harbor
Quite a number of steam yachts We're
& anchored in Larchmont harbor, prepared
TO follow the racers. and large delegation
of yachtsmen came down from New York
on the early morning trains to see the
start, either from the yachts, the club
steamers or from the broad yerandas of
the club
The Constitution was the first to put in
an appearance off he harbor coming down
in tow of her tender shortly after o'clock.
The Columbia arrived a short time later.
Both yachts had their head sails up in
stops. but mainsails were not hoIsted until
nearly 10 o'clock.
By the time the yachts had swung away
+ into the sound the wind had hauled to
Still at IL O'Clock when the judges boat
had taken up her position at the start it
was not blowing over three knots an hour.
Both yachts spent half an hour in sailing
slowly about under mainsail, two head sails
and club topsails At the time set for the
start, IL 30, the wind had died to almost a
calm, and the judges decided not to send
the yachts off until there were better pros
- poets of a breeze,
The warning signal was fred at 80 and
the starting signal five minutes later. The
starting time as seen from shore was: Con-
stHution, 1:354S; Columbia, 1852

stttution was leading by few hundred
yards. There was a very thick haze and
the yachts went out of sight shortly before
o'clock.
CENTRE ISLAND L. l., August 16.-
The weather Is so hazy that it is impossi-
bic from Centre Island to identify the
boats, but apparently the Constitution was
leading as they approached the eastern
mark.
The yachts, as well as could be made out
rounded the mark at these times:
Constitution. 2:13: Columbia. 2:1425
s They luffed around the mark, leaving it on
the starboard. and filling sheets came to
the starboard tack close hauled. The lead
Ing boat tackled to port almost immediate
ly. The other tackled about one minute
after passing the mark. the Constitution
being apparently about ten lengths to wind
ward.
