CONTRACTORS GET
 BEST OF BARGAIN
CROOKED WORK IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN FOUND IN AWARDING CONTRACTS FOR ARSENAL SUP PLIES.

Philadelphia. August H.-An investlga- the Schuyll<ill arsenal, one of the supply depots of the United States army, which was begun last week by Mai H. F. Strong, of the inspector generals de- pertinent, was continued today. There has been considerable trouble at the ar- senal for some time and frequently charges have been made that the govern ment was being defrauded out of thous- ands of dollars through the furnishing of inferior goods by certain contractors. So far, the inquiry has been confined to the contract for furs. Among those ex- amined by Major Strong today were Rob- ert Charlton and F. r. Beckett assistant inspectors at the arsenal. Carlton said that a firm of garment makers had att tempted to bribe him by offering him 5000 if he would be easy on them in his inspection of their goods. He refused the money and informed the commandant Charlton also said that he has been ap- preached several times by other contrac- tors.
 Inspector Beckett said that he had fre- quently put his stamp of approval on goods which he knew should have been marked 'inferior." He did this by order of his superiors. He was an old soldier. he said, and always obeyed orders.
 Major Strong with his assistants called at the office of Loeb, Upper and com pany, which firm had held the govern ment contracts. for the purpose of taking testimoney of Joseph Loeb, a member of the firm. MT Loeb, however. refused to answer questions.

 May Result in Designations.

Washington, August 14.-The Star to- night says:
 'There has been a big shake up among the reveue agents of the internal revenue service, but just how far 1t has gone, is matter of speculation. It is stated, however, that four well-known revenue agents have been asked for their resig nations, and at least two of the four have come here for personal conference with Commissioner Yerkes. of the internal rev enue bureau.
 These are Capt. c. H. Ingram, In charge of New England work, stationed at Bos- ton, and c. H. Burg, who has section of the southwest under his charge. and has been located in Texas. The names of the other two agents could not be learn ed today. Commissioner Yerkes would not discuss the matter.

winner of third place, is little brother
to Sombra.
The first brace put down was Sombra
and Burbank. A few birds had been
marked down in some wild sunfiowers
and the dogs We're sent after them.
Sombra soon pointed, backed by Bur-
bank. She followed this by another
point, and again with a flush, working
out into the open, with a strong wind
blowing. Sombra caught scent and
wheeled to a point just as the birds
flushed. A little later Sombra pointed
again, with Burbank backing in good
style.
Burbank while running in the Derby
made number of points, but on this
occasion he failed to locate any birds.
Hopkins lemon and white English
setter Rose Ohm and Milt Donley's
Monterey were the next brace down.
They were marked through timber and
heavy grass. Monterey soon scored
point, which he held we'll Moving on to
where the cover was still more dense,

ticipating in the Members stake.

STANFORD ATHLETES
READY FOR HARD WORK
Training Begins Tomorrow and As
pirants VIII Have to Lead the
Simple Life.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. IA.
Regular training on the Stanford track
will begin on Monday. Nearly hun
dred athletically inclined students
have signed Dad" Moulton's train
ing rules, under which they abstain
from the use of tobacco, alcoholic
liquor, late hours and dancing. The
work of the track man is no bed Of
roses anywhere, but this season work
at Stanford will be particularly hard
as constant training will be required
in all events to develop possible point
winners
AS usual Stanford will be weak in
>the two-mile rum. At this time there
seems to be no one who can get a
place in that event. Miller, a fresh
man from Bakersfield, will run the
mile under four minutes and forty
seconds and ought to win that event.
Stanford will be strong in the half,
but weak in the quarter mile. The
sprints should both go to California in
the intercollegiate meet. In the field
events the cardinals will be strong.
The jumps will go to Stanford and
possibly the pole vault. Crawford
should again win the hammer throw
and Horton seems likely to equal Hyde
in the shot put.
Stanford will suffer little because
the meet is to be held on the Cali
fornia track. Trainer dad" Moulton
will take the men to Berkeley several
times before the final contests SO as
to acquaint them with the track and
the runways. In the meantime field
days will be held on the Stanford cam
pus each week.
