RIFLE RECORD HELD A FAKE.
War Department Charges TWO Com
panies with FaIsification.

New YOrk.-After long correspond
ence with the department of the east
and three months of careful investiga-
ton the war department has discov-
cred what is believed to be an illicit
deal between companies L and NJ Of
the Fifth infantry in their target prac-
tice and has ordered Gen. Grant to
wipe out the remarkable record made
by these companies last summer at
Plattsburg barracks.
Moreover, the department of the
east was ordered to-day to deduct from
the future pay of the men of COM
panies L and NJ all additional sums
paid them since last summer because
of their craftsmanship. Col. Henry
o. S. Heistand. military secretary of
the department of the east, said to-
day that this punishment had been
meted out to the men because ample
proof of irregularities in scoring on
the target range had been established.
The alleged deal between the two
companies to falsify the scoring and
give each other records much higher
than they were entitled to was in
spired, it is said, by mercenary mo-
tives A private who qualities as a
marksm8n receives an increase in pay
