SOME COMPLAINT EXPRESSED.
Executive Order Will Not Allow All
Veterans to See dwelling,

Considerable dissatisfaction has been
caused in the executive departments through
the order OF the President excusing only
members of the four army societies from
their work on Thursday in order to witness
the unwilling of the Sherman statue. 1t is
stated that there are number of veterans
Of the navy and pther sections of the mill
tary service who participated in the actions
in Which Gen, Sherman was prominent and
who are as Intimately associated with the
record Of the great leader as any of the
members of the four societies. These men
will not be excused. according to the execu-
tive order. and they are complaining. The
matter will probably be brought to the at
tention of the President for his further con-
sideration. Following is the order. which
has been promulgated by the chief clerks
Of the various departments:
1T Is hereby ordered that upon Thursday,
the 10th instant, such employees of the ex-
ecutfve departments. the government print
Ing office. and the navy yard and station,
as ssrvedn4n the Army Of the Potomac the
Army OF the Ohio. the Army of the Tennes-
see. or the Army of the Cumberland, in the
military service OF the United States dur
Ing the late civil war. shall be excused from
duty at O'Clock pm. for the remainder of
that day. to enable them to participate in
the exercises of the unwilling of the statue
erected to the memory Of the late Gen. Will
liam T. Sherman"

THEIR PARDoNs FORGED
Extraordinary Case Of Three Military
Prisoners at Alcatraz. Cal

SAN FRANCISCO. October 13-James H.
Darling. Joseph White. Cornelius Cokes
and John L. Moore. military prisoners at
Alcatraz. have been released by the authort-
ties on pardOns which 1t Is now discovered
were forged. These fraudulent pardons were
sent through the ordinary course Of a SOL
diers pardon. bearing the regular seals
and stamps and approved by the President,
but by whom and whose assistance the
forgeries were perpetrated are questions
not yet solved. but it is believed the in
vestigation now in progress will eventually
clear up the mystery
The four prisoners were sentenced to five
years Imprisonment and had more than
two years unexpired term to serve. They
were set at liberty October and were
landed in this city on the government
steamer General Mcdowell
The signatures forged by the conyicts
were those of Major E. r. Hills, acting
assistant adjutant general at Washington:
Major Henry M. Morrow, judge advocate
of the Department of California, and Major
j. r. Williams. assistant adjutant general,
Department of California. In addition to
these forgeries the official stamps Of the
Department on California headquarters and
of the Judge advocates Office appear. The
letter head on which the pardon is type
written seems genuine.
The irregularity of the document IL ad-
mitted by both Major Williams and Judge
Advocate Morrow, who say the signatures
on the papers were not their own.

District Promises to Return Cement
Sacks as Early as Practicable.

The Commissioners recently received a
letter from James H. McGill requesting the
return of certain sacks which had been de-
ivered to the District filed with cement
under his contract with the Distract dated
July 10, 1902. The contract stated that the
cement should be delivered in strong serv-
iceable sacks of uniform size, and that the
bags would be returned to the contractor
or paid for at the rate of cents each for
the smaller sacks and 10 cents for the large
sacks
for longer average period than it should
stated Mr.. McGill. Il am retiring from the
cement business and ask that the Commits
sioners order that the bags due me, which
number more than 1900. be returned to me
within sixty days, or If this be not done
that be paid for such number as have not
been returned per contract"
AT that time Mr.. McGill was informed
that the Commissioners would endeavOr to
return the sacks promptly. but that it was
then impossible for the authorities to fix
a definite date for their return, as these
We're sacks containing cement in the ware
house and sacks that had been issued on
various works and had not yet been re-
turned He was told that most of the sacks
could be returned to him in six months
He has again written requesting the i'm
mediate return of his property
1t is the custom and rule of every cement
concern in the United States" he saws TO
require cement bags to be returned within
sixty days after delivery or to be paid for
then The bags in which l delivered cement
were in tirst-class condition the greater
part of them being new. direct from the
factory, and If cement is left in them six
months or longer, after already being in
them FOR an average of six months the
bags Will be destroyed by the cement
Mr. McoIil has been Informed finally by
the commissioners that they do not see
that the second request of the writer as to
the Immediate return Of the sacks in cues
ton can be complied with for the same
reasons as previously explained to him.
Inc superintendent of property. r. D.
Simms. has stated that from informa tion
he mas obtained it appears that in all large
contracts for delivery of cement in sacks
the seller accepts return of the empty sacks
without placing limitation of time "a to
the delivery OF the same. He called atten-
tion 10 the fact that there was no provision

THE CHECK RETURNED.
Widow Of M. F. Quincy Gets Deposit
Made by Her Husband,

The Commissioners this morning turned
the District, the certified check for 5000
which was deposited in the name Of NJ +.
Quincy as guarantee for the firm of Gui-
ney, Jones & Cavan to enter into a
sewer contract with the District. Mr. Petty
represented Mrs. Quincy, who recently ap-
piled for a return of the check. The cir
cumstances surrounding this application
were fully related In The Star some time
ago, The firm of Quincy, Jones & Cavan
was virtually wiped out of existence just
at the time when the Commissioners had
decided to award to them the work of con-
structing a section of the New Jersey
avenue and B street trunk sewer. Young
Cavan, in a Baltimore sanitarium, while
suffering from temporary mental aberra-
ton. shot and killed Mr.. Quincy and then
turned the pistol on himself.
The day following the tragedy the Com
miSSioners awarded the contract to the
firm. not having been apprized of it's dis
solution by death. The question then arose
as to whether or not the 500 guarantee
check should be forfeited 1t was related
that Mrs. Quincy had placed a mortgage
ment of one-half the check The Commits
siOners found a way out of the dilemma.
The contract had not been signed, SO the
bid Of the Quincy, Jones & Cavan Arm
was rejected irresponsible. In view of
this 1t was decided the check should be re-
turned to Mrs Quincy through Mr.. Petty,
and this action was taken today.
The contract for the sewer will go to
Andrew Gleeson. the next lowest bidder.

He is Unable to Say When, It Will Be
Completed.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow said this afternoon that he was
progressing satisfactorily with his report
On the investigation of the Post Office De-
partment scandals and that he hoped to
have it completed soon. AS to the exact
date OF its completion he would not say.
The examination Of State Senator George

fore United States Commissioner Hall in

memorandum stated that 1t would be neces-
sary to show prima facie evidence that the
crimes charged in the indictments were
committed In the District of Columbia
He held that the indictments were hear
say evidence, and of little value to prove
that the crime was committed. The de-
PENDANT he said had the right to ask for
witnesses, whom he could examine. and
also to. produce witnesses In his own behalf

TWO NEW ENTERPRISES.
Developments on Tenleytown Road,
With Additional Building Sites

Two rather large enterprises on the
Tenleytown road are being developed
with the view of providing additional
building sites in that locality. A tract of
about thirty acres of land has recently
been sold by the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany to syndicate. of which Barnard &
Johnson are trustees. The land lies on
the east side of the Tenleytown and
Rockville road. and extends from the
District line north to the vicinity of the
electric road from Cabin John bridge to
the Chevy Chase Circle. The land is now
being cleared. and 1t is expected that
streets will be opened up and subdivi-
sion made.
large tract of land on the west side of
the road and farther to the north Is being
subdivided under the direction of Wine &
Dodge, real estate brokers. The property
adjoins that of Mr.. Wilson Offutts on the
north and in addition to the above Is sep
arated from the subdivision of Somerset
Heights by the properties of H. Bradley
Davidson and Gen. R. c. Dunn.
This tract. which was formerly known
as the Watkins place, was included In the
four or five tracts of land on which an op-
ton was given last spring to Philadelphia
syndicate.
The purpose was to make a subdivision of
the entire holding of some 500 acres but it
is explained that owing to the condition of
the money market it was impossible to
finance the enterprise. The options expired
a few weeks ago and were not renewed
1t is the intention of the owners Of the
Watkins property, which contains about 1877
acres, to open up streets and lay out the
land in acre lots residence sites. The
agents, MeSSrs. Wine & Dodge intend to
place the property on the market at an
early day.
1t is understood that Mr.. John Joy Edison
has sold portion of his holdings further
north on the same road to General George
H. Harries. Mr.. Edison has about 800 acres
and the portion sold to General Harries is
said to be about twenty-five acres.
