NEW YORK, Feb. There have
been plenty of responses. both from Of
ficers and enlisted men to Secretary
Taft's invitation for an expression OF
reasons of discomfort and unrest in the

The reasons given as contributing to
disturbing conditions are the practice

gymnasiums and inadequacy of the
ration and of the cutting off of Eek

acter of extra work.
The department has already taken
steps to ameliorate some of these con-
ditions. The ration has been increased,
and congress has been asked to pass d
bill to create a corps TO do extra and
non-military work now required OF sol
diers.
The monetary value of the increas Sc
authorized in tho ration Is a little more
than cents per ration. There will be
also established a haversack ration
made of bacon, hard bread, coffee and
sugar. and possibly canned beef, to be
used for emergency.

than s250,O00 lying in the city treasury
which is due to former employees of the

for. The money was discovered by the
commission which is attempting to de-
wise modern system of bookkeeping

in which this money can be returned to
the general fund. The items extend
over a period of twenty-five years and
range in amount from so cents to $500.

man at the time and there were charges

Language

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.--Interpreters at
Ellis Island, the government immigra-
ton station, will try to find today
language TO fit an immigrant of mys-
FERROUS origin who arrived yesterday
on the Royal Mail steamer Atrato.
The agent of the company. who put
the man aboard at Savanilla, said his
name was G. Ferris, which had some-
thing of an Anglo-Saxon sound, but
when the captain and purser talked to
the stranger in English he did not re-
spond.
All the languages of Europe known to
crew and passengers were tried on the
dark man vainly; an officer expert
mented with Hindustanee and Arabic
TO all he simply shook his head and
articulated something unintellisible.
The linguistic experts on Ellis island

PENNYPACKER
MVOL WE'D IN
GRAFT CASE
FORMER GOVERNOR ACCUSED
BY WITNESS
Trial of Contractor Sanderson, Who
Built Capitol in Harrisburg, Takes
Sensational Turr, duplicating
Prominent Men

| By Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. Feb. 1.-THE
trial of Contractor Sanderson and the
three former state officials charged
with conspiracy in the furnishing OF
the new capitol took a sensational turn
today when Stanford B. Lewis, as
sistant to Architect Huston. declared
with dramatic earnestneSs that HuS-
tons letter to former Attorney General
Carson, explaining his part in the con-
| tracts, had been prepared at the sug-
gestion of former Governor Penny
packer, former Auditor General Snyder,
one of the defendants, and Mr.. Carson,
and that it was misleading and in
| tended to be a "whitewash.'
Devils was being subjected to a Sc
we're cross examination by Mr.. Gilbert
of counsel for the defense about the
letter. and demanded the right to ex-
plain the circumstances under which 1t
was written.
Rising in his seat and speaking with
right hand raised above his head, Lewis
told a story which surprised everyone
in the courtroom except the lawyers
for the commonwealth.
According to Lewis story, when It
came Huston's turn to write an an
swer to Mr.. Carson, Lewis was tele-
phoned to come over to Harrisburg by
Pennypacker and Snyder, and the let
ter was prepared at q conference with
those two officials and the former at
torney general, to dovetail in with
others prepared by state officers con-
nected with the construction and equip
ment of the capitol.
Had No Chance to Explain
81 have endeavored to explain the
Conditions under which this letter was
written" said Lewis. when the judge
had overruled Mr.. Gilbert's objection
that Lewis had no right to explain the
letter.
ut was written a. time when I had
no knowledge of any of the indict-
ments as they have been brought to this
court today.
LAS / have already said, we were
proud of this building, and when l was
called on the telephone to see the state
officers, Auditor General Snyder and
the governor, to go over this matter
tbs only purpose was that it was to be
more or less of a 'whitewash' to pro-
tect the great building which we had
been instrumental to a certain extent
in getting up in this town.
1.-The statements made In that letter
are not in accordance with what we
did They were made to fit In with the
letters written by the other officials"
The letter to which Lewis referred
was one of n series written during Mo-
vember and December, 1906, in re-
Spouse to the Carson inquiry into the
capitol scandal.
