Contractor FalSified.

The discovery Of what is suspected by
the Navy Department To be an attempt
to defraud the Government through the
purchase Of scrap iron. copper. brass,
etc. at the Washington Navy Yard, as
described exclusively In yesterdays
Times, has led the department 10 decide
upon Investigations at other navy yards
where such refuse material has been
sold to private concerns.
While the department has no evidence
or even intimaton that there has been
any irregularity in purchase al other
yards, the case disclosed at the WASH
ington yard has shown officials the pos
sibility Of the same alleged trick OF
under weight being manipulated else
where, with possible heavy losses to the
Government.
Navy Department officials are reti-
cent about discussing the disclosures at
the Washington Navy Yard. They are
working in hopes OF procuring more
evidence, however. and If It is found
TO be sufficiently tangible. formal
charges will be filed in the civil courts
against the contractor to whom was
sold the years waste at the Washing
ton yard. beginning with July l. the
fiscal year. IN the meantime, the name
OF the contractor is being withheld from
the public till definite infornra ton that
would seem to warrant a prosecution
may be unearthed.
Must Defend His Contracts.
The department has felt justified,
however, in temporarily suspending
the contract of the buyer and serving
formal notice upon him TO show cause
why the contract should not be can
celec, If his answer is found TO be
satisfactory and no information justi-
lying prosecution is brought 70 light
he will be allowed 70 buy the remainder
or TINS years waste at the local yard.

a young man, is said TO have explained
the tragedy by saying that McCuen had
