Others Told Different Stories.

While Acknowledgement Oren re-
fuses to discuss the matter, the i'm.
preston prevails that General Whites
testimony will result in the arrest of
various parties for perjury. 1t will be
recalled that several Kalamazoo citi-
zens told an altogether different story,
both to the grand jury and when
sworn during the trials Of Sutton and
Marsh. and also that when sworn in
his own behalf, Sutton, on the trial
which resulted in his acquittal, denied
all connection with the deal.

OLD SCANDAL RAKED VI
Given an Airing by General White
He Gave Strong Testimony in the
Roos Case.

Lansing, Mich, June 4.-The old
state military board scandal was raked
up here Tuesday afternoon in a most
unexpected manner, and for the first
time Gen. Will H. White, former quar-
termaster-general of the state troops,
made full confession. Of how the ia
nous Henderson-Ames company deal
was put through.
The testimony was brought out in
the hearing before the supreme court
Of the disbarment proceedings against
c. N. Roos, attorney for the Hender-
son-Ames company, whose connection
with the deal brought about the filing
Of the charges.
White said that the order to sell
The military goods came, as he sup
posed at the time, from Governor Pin
gree direct. 1t was delivered by Col.
Eli Sutton of Detroit in person and
was written on official paper, although
White has since doubted the authen-
ticlty of the document.
Bickerstaff Proposed a Scheme.
The sale was duly advertised, as At
torney-Genersl Oren said that this was
the proper method Of procedure, and
Colonel Sutton placed the advertising.
Then Bickerstaff of Kalamazoo en-
tered the field with a proposition that
White, Inspe ctor General Marsh Of AL
Logan, with Sutton and the Henderson
Ames company Of Kalamazoo, should
organize the illinois Supply COM
pany" to buy goods. They would then
be turned over by the Henderson-Ames
company and by them resold to the
state at large profit to the stock
holders.
Whites story is evidently intended
as an effort to clear himself from the
blame Of the initiative'in the deal. He
claims that he was proceeding on the
theory that the order to sell the goods
Was genuine and that he had author
ity to get rid Of them under the law
passed by the legislature at the close
Of the Spanish-American war.

The manufacture OF pens in the
United States IS confined TO only four
companies. although one might sup
pose there were many more. That
does not include the making OF gold
pens. which IS separate industry.
but pens OF steel brass and german
silver. The steel Tor these pens is
brought chiefly from sheffield. Eng
land. as that IS the best blade steel.
Many experiments have been made
with steel manufactured over here. but
IL never has sufficiently stood the test.
