the returns and the reported affiliation of
the leaders elected at the democratic pri-
maries, Charles F. Murphy will be in con-
troll of "a votes in the executive commit
tee of Tammany Hail. representing twenty
districts. and will control 60 of the los
delegates to the democratic state conven-

These political votes will enable the
leader of Tammany, if he so desires, to
apply the unit rule, and cast the vote of
Tammany Hall soidly for the candidate
determined on by majority of the dele
gates Up to the present time. Mr.. Muir
ply has made no statement as to his in
tentions in this respect. but during the
primary campaign it was generally I'M
derstood that Mr.. Murphy was friendly to
Hearst. Murphy's victory, however, is be-
lieved to preclude the possibility of Dis

Washington, September 19-The investi-
cation into the operations of the quarter
masters department in the Philippines
initiated by General Corbin, and contin-
ued by General Wood, has been in prog
ress more than a year. Partial reports
have reached the war department from
time to time but the inquiry is not finish
ed. Many officers of the army and some
of the employees of the civil government
figure in this investigation and all of
them have been separately called on 10
explain the conditions under which they
secured furniture and other goods from
the quartermaster department; whether
it was for personal use, or to be placed
in government offices and finally, wheth-
err the furniture was allowed to remain
in those offices, when the officers de-
tail expire or whether it was removed
by them as personal property. In the
latter cases the officers and employees
are being required to pay for the goods
1t appears that owing to a rather loose
system of keeping accounts, officers have
undoubtedly been charged for property
really intended entirely for government
use and in such cases they will not be
obliged to pay. Where knowing violations
of the law have occurred the war de-
partment has issued orders that the Of
Tending officers shall be tried by court
martial.

Secretary of Agriculture Asks Advice
On Meat Inspection Law.

Washington, September 1.-THE deci-
sion of the Acting Attorney General has
been asked by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture regarding certain provisions of the
new meat inspection law and particularly
the question of whether or not foreign
meat products or food products In which
meat is largely component part, will
be absolutely prohibited from entering
the United States or whether England
Germany and France will be forced to
provide a system of governmental inspec-
ton and labelling which will be accept
able to this government
Although the agricultural department
has practically concluded its work of
making provision for the enforcement of
the new meat inspection law, several per-
picking questions arise upon which the
opinion of the attorney general has been
sought
This law is very cloudy with respect to
imported meats and meat products all
though exceedingly stringent as to home
products for interstate and foreign ship

DECREASE IN GRATING

Manila, September 19.-Capt. Ira l..
Fredwell of the quartermaster's depart
ment was charged by the court of first
instance in this city this afternoon of
misrepresentation of public funds. The
filing of these charges is the elimination
of extensive Investigations by the insu-
lar authorities into an alleged series Of
frauds perpetrated by members of the
quartermasters department in the Philip
pines The injury resulted in the discov-
cry of padded pay rolls in quartermas-
ters shops and grating in the lease of
lighters.
Both officers and civilians are implica't-
ed and courtmartials will follow the court
proceedings.
Major General Wood continued the in
quiry originally begun by Major General
Corbin. The result of the Investigations
has been great saving in transportation
funds and a decrease in graft, such as
the manufacture of furniture, etc, in
the shops for the private use of officers
and civilians.
High officials in the army and govern
ment are said to have been the benefic-
iaries.
