SCHUYLKILL ARSENAL.
Maj. Strong to Prepare Report on His
Investigation.

Maj. Frederick S. Strong of the inspector
generals department reported at the War
Department this morning, having just COM
pleted thorough investigation of the al
legged fraudulent transactions at the Schuyl-
kill arsenal, Philadelphia in connection with
contracts for material for army uniforms.
He will begin at once the preparation of his
report and in advance Of it's submission to
the inspector general declines to reveal its
. character. 1t is known, however, that Maj.
Strong discovered bad state of affairs at
the arsenal and obtained some evidence to
support the charges of bribery and corrup-
ton In some of the contracts for military
supplies.
Three of the inspectors have been sus-
pended on suspicion of completely of these
alleged irregularities, and it is limited that
there is a strong possibility of criminal
prosecutions
All sorts of rumors are current In military
circles in connection with the troubles at
the Schuylkil arsenal. Probably the most
important of these was that Quartermaster
General Humphrey, who does not regularly
retire until 1908. was to be succeeded early
next month by Lieut. Col. William II. Mil
Ter, deputy quartermaster general, In charge
of the depot al Chicago. The report is ridi-
culed at the War Department and was char
acteriZed "bosh'' by Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee

received reports stating that about twenty
arrests have recently been made on the
Pacific coast of alien officers of American
ships charged with obtaining their licenses

PENSION OFFICE MISTAKE"
All Papers Now With Secretary of In
terror.

The commissioner of pensions has for
warded to the acting secretary of the in
terror the papers in the of the four
pension office clerks implicated in the al
lowance of a pension to a woman living in
Canada, for eleven years instead of one
year. The original error, which was not
observed by three of the clerks, consisted
of writing a date 1903 instead of 1893. The
clerk committing this error has submitted
his resignation to the commissioner, and 1t
is now before the secretary. 1t is under
stood that Commissioner Warner has recon-
mended the acceptance of the resignation.
1t is also understood that the commissioner
has recommended the reduction of the three
other clerks implicated in the affair Two
of these men receive salaries of 81 800 per
year and the other $1,000 per year. The
commissioner of pensions declines to dis
cuss the matter any further, as he has
passed 1t up to his chief. the acting sec
retary of the interior, who, in turn, will
not make public his action until he has
given the matter careful consideration. The
pa pers in the case have been received at
the department and have been transmitted
to the acting secretary for his consideration.
The names of the clerks involved will not
be made public until decided action is taken.
