Official Investigation
to Be Made

WASHINGTON, April 25.--As a re-
suit OF an episode in the congressional
library in which two members of the
marine corps were elected from the
building, Secretary Metcalf will order
an official investigation.
1t is his intention to secure the tes-
timony of both sides and he will ap-
point an officer from the Judge advo-
cate generals office to act in conjunc-
tion with an official of the library,
Mr.. Putnam, the librarian, having ex-
pressed the wish for a full inquiry into
all the facts.
1t was claimed by the watchman
that the marines were detected in the
act of flirting, while the men charge
they were elected because they were
In uniform. The report of Private Ell
liott, now attached to the battleship

ments Of Frye, denying the allegation
of improper conduct and insisting that
they were put out of the building be-
cause of their uniforms.
Definite action will be taken by Sec
retary Metcalf upon his return Satur-
day from jamestown.
