MAN IN PITTSBURG JAIL
HAS A LOCAL RECORD
Arthur S. Spencer, Charged With I'm

PRIMITIVE METHODS.
Under the old system when each
department in the navy yards pur-
chased the supplies needed the waste
and accumulation of stores was con-
siderable, and led to abuses. extrava-
gancies and corruption which culm1n-
ated under the Robson regime IN
1876. AS far back as the early SOS
the system was extremely primitive
and no one thought of taking a book
entry seriously. Timber and lumber
OF all descriptions were then as row
difficult to keep track of. and when
the books failed to reveal the where
abOutS of any particular piece wanted
the timber clerk would dismiss the
subject with the remark that " II the
stick is not expended on the books it
enough, twenty years later large guam
titles of live oak were recovered from
the site where excavations were made
for the stone dry dock. Later on,
when shiploads of live oak and white
oak timber were accumulated for the
sole purpose of distributing money
among contractors and when this tim
Der and plank could not be utilized
for building and repair purposes, it
was converted nto fire wood, carted
to the officers residences and burned,
and the entry of condemned" was
made on the books. 1t was a simple
method of disposing of surplus ma
terial and had the merit of concisely

some occupied the seats on the stage,

The exercises opened with an orches-

dress by Harry 1. Mulcrevy, who pre-
sided over the gathering, and orlehy
referred to the purposes or the occa-

duties that ever bound the members
of the latter together in fraternalshlp.

An address which was to have been
delivered by Mayor Schmitz, who was

UNITED ACTION is NEEDED.
AS to the building in which San Fran

much has been said. 1t will immediate
ly front the main entrance to the ex-

occupy a central and very advantage

will become well known to millions of

there is no chance for doubt. 1t is not
necessary to here enter into detailed

the 1udicious expenditure of the pro-

for a moment. All that is needed for
