DETERMINED TO END
GRAFT IN THE ARMY
Congressman Hull Tells How
Law Is Evaded to Line
Officers Pockets.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-The House
Committee on Military Affairs, Of
which Representative Hull OF Iowa is
to graft In the army.
If Congress enacts legislation In ac-
cordance with its recommendation,
mileage accounts can no longer be
padded. nor can army transports be
used for excursions by officials, or
members Of Congress. or any one else.
Tho committee Is searching for other
leaks In the laws which permit diver
sion of money into the pockets OF In
tcrested parties.
I'VE estimate that $4,000 has been
paid out in mileage" said Representa-
tive Hull. "to which the recipients
were not entitled. They got hold of
the money by eyading the law which
Congress has enacted for the express
purpose OF introducing economy In
transportation. The intention of Con-
gress was TO reduce the amount Of
money an officer should receive who
was under orders to the Philippines.
Graft in Mileage.
The law states specifically that
only actual expenses shall be paid be-
tween the United States and its insu-
lar possessions, but we have found that
officers have been ordered to Nagasaki,
Japan, or Shanghai. or even down to
Hongkong and thence to Manila, tray
cling with the exception of the last
leg, on Government transports They
have received mileage when they
should have been reimbursed only for
their actual expenditures. and the lat
ter amount to about 81 a day. while

hundreds An officer going to Manila

BOISE, Ida. Feb 2-One of the attor-
neys who viii take n prominent part In
the prosecution OF Harry Orchard. who is
now In the penitentlary awaiting trial
for the murder OF cN-Goy. Steunenbcrg,
said In an interwleY;
Because little lis being said about the
progress Of the detectives who are hunt
Ing for other suspects In the case is no
reason that good work is not being done
by them They are working quietly, but
with definite purposes in view. Secret
service men are working In many parts
Of the country. especially in Utah. Idaho,
Colorado. Oregon and Montana. We fully
believe that II is only question of tir.e
when important disclosures Will be forth
coming.
Little Credence in Letters.
People here put little credence in the
letter from Street Wake" in Salt Lake,
to the police department of that city. II
is believed that the letter was written
only to divert suspicion from Orchard
and confuse the officers working on the
case.
1t is believed by friends OF Attorney
James II. Hawley. who Will have charge
of the prosecution I'm the Orchard case.
that in his untlring work preliminary to
trial he is accumulatlng some valuable
and startling evidence Mr.. Hawley is
now devoting about all of his time to
the case, and 1t is safe to say that mat
ters pertaining to It Will be in good shape
when the trial opens in February.
Sheepmen Worried.
Many sheepmen nave been considerably
worried lest hay would run short, there
having been such q long period OF cold
weather which nccessitated much feeding
OF that commodity. George V. Leighton
of this city, whose big fock of sheep is
being wintered in Payette valley said:
This has been a long winter for feed
ing, but with the exception OF about
week the ground has been frozen and the
weather has been excellent for feeding.
Unless the winter is unusually long,
ahere Will be ample hay for the sheepmcn,
Considerable corn is being shipped In and
Is being fed with the hay. and the sheep
doing well on that feed. When we
turn our sheep on the range In the spring
they Will be in about as good condition
