MAKES CHARGE
OF CONSPIRACY

Washington, Jan. 7.--Allceations OF
fraud and corruption I'm Supplying the
bureau OF engraving and printing with
black dry color. used in the manufacture
OF ink, resulted yesterday I'm the indict-
ment by the federal grand jury here OF
Edwin NJ Van Dyck. formerly chemist
and inkmaker employed I'm the bureau,
and Victor O.. Bloede. president OF che
Victor G.. Bloede company OF Baltimore,
manufacturers OF black dry color.
Van Dyck and Bloedc are charged la
the indictments with conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. the allegation bo-
ing that they entered into an agreement
by which Boede was TO pay Van Dyck
a percentage OF the money his company
received from the government for the
black dry color furnished to the bureau
OF engraving and printing.
Van Dyek, II is alleged, in his position
as chemist and inkmaker OF the bureau.
had 20 pass upon tho samples of the color
submitted by various manufacturers.
IL is charged that he fraudulcntly ia
vored the Baltimore company and that
as a result OF the conspiracy he was paid
by Bloede, i'm the course of several years,
between $4,000 and $4,000.
Bloede. II is alleged was TO cause his
company each year TO submit bids to the
bureau OF engraving and printing TO FUR
nish hard black for the next ensuing
fiscal year. When samples were submit
ted, they would be referred TO Van Dyck,
as chemist and inkmaker, for practical
test.
This test IL was stated, was conducted
by Van Dyck and other emplogc~ of the
bureau, and they would report 10 the di-
rector OF the bureau OF ei craving aud
printing what sample was the b~st and
what ratings the other samples should
have.
A committee would then exar,ine the
various bids and tho reports of The tests
and. relying on Van Dyck's reports,
would recommend that the cont act for
the purchase of hard black be made 70
the bidder whose sample had been so re-
ported as the best
IL is charged that in pursuance OF this
conspiracy the Bloede company submitted
several bids each year from the spring
of 1901 until 1905.
The rating OF 100 was given the Bloede
sample every year except one. when it
was rated at 9s. the highest mark given
that year.
The Indictment also charges that the
contracts were awarded yearly TO the
Bloede company. and that that company
from July l. 1901 to July /, 1906. furnished
the bureau OF engraving and printing
with the hard black used there. which
averaged about 225ooo pounds year, at
the rate OF 45 cents a pound.
Attorneys for both Van Dyck and
Bloede appeared before Justice Stafford
and agreed to $4,000 bail each. They as
serted that the indictments were of =
technical nature and that the alleged
fraud did not necessarily involve a loss
to the government.
They contended that the bureau receiv-
ed the best color obtainable at a price OF
10 cents less per pound than Il paid prrr
10 letting contracts TO the Bloede COM
pany.

PRIVATE ART
COLLECTION FOR
QUAKER CITY

PHILADELPHIA Jan. 7.-Three OF the
greatest private art collections are TO be-
come the property of the city of Phila-
dclphia i'm the near future. and arc TO be
grouped as one for the beneit and pleas
ure OF the public. Plans are already afoot
which involve the erection upon site to
De provided by the city for a temple or
art that is TO rank with the foremost OF
the country or abroad.
These collections are owned by Il. A. b.
Widener, John q. Johnson and the estate
of w. L. Elkins, deceased. What may be
regarded tho decisive step toward
bringing the project into practical form
was recently taken by i, a. B. Widener'
Mr.. Widcner has announced positively
within few DAYS that he would DE pre-
pared to turn his collection over TO the
city as its perpetual custodian whenever
suitable legal and architectural arrange
mont 10 that end could be MADE. From
the source from which this Information
was gained II has been learned that Mr..
Johnson also intends making similar
disposition Of his remarkable art treas
ures
William J.. Elkins before his death
made known to his heirs and executors
his wiGhes regarding the ultimate destl-
nation OF his splendid pictures, which
rank third in Importance 10 those OF MI.
Widener and Mr.. Johnson. The heirs and
executors OF Mr.. Elkins agreed after ms
death that his verbal wirhes in this re-
Epcct should be carried out. There are
three or four other notable collections
which Philadelphia art lovers hope to see
sooner or later i'm the same depository.
One OF these Is Edward T. Stotenbury's,
another is Burgess Warren's and a third
ls John Wanamakers.
The site for a new art museum con-
tidered most desirable by virtually all
who have actively interested themselves
In the project is the small hill now occn-
pied by city reservoir at Spring Gar
aen street and the Schuylkll river which
will be included i'm the terminal plaza OF
the new parkway, extending from the
rlty hMl to that point The possibilities
pf architectural display here are simply
beyond estimate. IL is declared.
While it is impossible TO pat an exact
money valuation upon property OF this
kind II may be conservatively said that
these three collections are worth at least
bo.O00.oOo, and that IL sold under proper
direction I'm Europe they would bring
great deaf more than that
