BUREAU

Washington, Sept. 1s.-There is good
reason TO believe hat the Keep Com
mission contemplates an early inyesti-
cation OF the weather service Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. Some weeks
ago charges were made I'm the public
prints OF extravaganza in the conduct
of the weather bureau. Mount Weather
on the Blu Ridge montains was termed
the summer annex" Of the bureau.
" was alleged that Prof Willis Moore
and other department officials used Noun
Weather as a summer resort. that IT was
the scene OF gay weekend parties and
that IL was fitted Up and furnished on a
scale OF mdgnihcencc that ~astOnlshed
those who were SO fortunate as 70 be in
vited to rartake Of the hospitality Of
those in charge Of the station.
At the meeting Of the Keep commission
yesterday Supervising Architect Taylor
was asked who built the weather stations
OF the government He replied that the
work was done under the direction Of
officers OF tina department ~ agriculture
and that the supervising architect had
nothing 10 do with n.
The inquiry was pursued far enough 70
Indicate that the Keep commission has
Mount Weather in mind and that tho
summer annex Will soon be inquired into.
