Member of Congress Interest
ed In Covenant Contracts
PAPERS ARE MADE PUBLIC
Secretary Root Has Referred the Case
to the Department of Justice to
Ascertain Whether Law Has
Been Violated.
lRx Associated Pross.l

WASHINGTON, y. c., August 3.-Seo-
rotary Root to-day made public all the
papers relating to the government inves-
tjgation into the government contract for
gloves with Z. r. Lyon. This contractor
secured the gloves from Littauer Brothers
the senior member OF the hrm, T. N. Lit
tater, being member OF Congress.
Secretary Root has referred the case
to the Department OF Justice in order
that 1t may be ascertained II the law
has been violated, and II SO what appro-
pirate measures may be taken IN the
premises. There Is statute which pro-
ftbits contracts for government supplies
being made directly or indirectly with
member Of Congress, and this was tho
basis Of the investigation by the War
Department.
Colonel Darlington, OF the Inspector
Generals department, was directed by
Secretary Root to make an investigation
of the whole matter. which he did, tax
inE testimony and submitting report
as to the facts in tho case. This report
and the testimony was referred to Judge
|Adyocate-G General Davis. who made an
extensive review and submitted an opin-
ion to Secretary Root.
CASE MADE OUT.
In the course OF his report ana OPINION
General Davis says a case falling within
tho prohibition Of the statute is clearly
shown In the testimony, which, In the
opinion Of this office, charges the de-
partment with the performance of the
duty set and it is, therefore, recon-
mended that demand be made by the
Quartermaster-G General upon the firm OF
Littauer Brothers for the repayment OF
the contract Of December Z. 1888, with
Lyon, as extended, in accordance with It's
terms by the quartermaster's department.
General Davis says that the TACT that
a member of Congress was active man
ager of firm selling to government con-
ira ctors should have put the officer
charged with the making OF such con-
tracts on his guard against attempted
violation of the statute.
TT vas he says. ''the first duty OF
an officer charged with making purchase
in behalf Of the United States to see that
!. the articles procured We're of standard
fquality, and that the prices paid were rea-
sonable The testimony elected during
the course of the investigation, showing
the prices paid, the profits realized, ana
the numerous rejections of goods which
fell short Of the standards established by
| the department. shows that this duty was
thoroughly and conscienuously per-
| formed. ="

His Hands.

information from Accomac Is that Hon.
s. wilkins Mathews, who has represent
ed that county for several terms, has OPP
position for the nomination this time IN
the person Of Mr.. Rev. Perhaps no other
member Of the General Assembly Is more
generally and favorably known In this
city than Mr.. Ma thews, and 1t Ia doubt
full that there ia more influential men,
Der of the House than the silent man from
the Eastern Shore. Mr.. Mathews Is not
speaker and does not consume much
Of the time airing his eloquence, but he IS
one of the hardest workers In the body.
He Is considered the champion OF the
silent bivalve in the House. and advocates
of oyster legislation and the movement
to derive more revenue from the fish and
oyster interests admit that his work moro
than the speeches of the Underwater ora
tors have heretofore defeated their efforts.
The mountain members who believe that
the State Is not getting all It should from
the oyster would find smoother sailing tln i
they all like him personally. He is just
as hard worker In o! campaign and VIII
canvass all Accomao before the primary.
His friends predict that when the votes
are counted Mr.. Mathews will wear that
bland smile, usually reserved for banquet
occasions.
The Legislative Commission appointed at
oyster waters Of the State during the
vacation with a view to ascertaining how
much barren rock there Is and what. n
any, legislation Is necessary to protect
the oyster Industry from extinction. Upon
the recommendations of this commission
will depend what action the General As
senlbly will take on the various pending
oyster bills. The co admission has already
made preliminary trip over. the oyster

constituted. and will probably be gone a
month. The commission or joint commit
tee consists Of Senators Julian Bryant,
