 "No fine of money compensation is an adequate atonement for such wrongs. The commission of such frauds Is moral crime of the gravest character. Your committee does not consider 1t as within their province to draft crim- inal statute, but they do feel under ob- ligations to call the attention Of the pub lie to the importance of protecting In the future the interests of the treasury, the lives of our seamen and the sa1ety of the nation by denouncing as crimes alv such acts of fraud and deception prac- ticed upon the government in connection with armor plate, etc.
 Result of Disclosures.
 The resolution adopted by the House of Representatives as result of the dis closures made by the Cummings commit tee, appears from records on file in the navy department that all the secretary knows about the case to have been the end of the matter.
 In Pittsburg 1t was found that the lawyer referred to by the author of the Money Changers" is James H. Smith, to whom Secretary Herbert wrote the letter commenting upon President Cleve- lands decision as to the amount to be forfeited by the Carnegie company MT. Smith is a practicing attorney. ln an interview he told most interestingly of his connection with the scandal, and 1t was he who first substantiated MT. Sin clair's statement that certain of our war vessels stilD carry defective armor. He said
 "In May, 1893, c. E. Sill, J. D. Riley F. B. Perry, Thomas E. James and sew eral other employees of the Carnegie Steel company, limited, came to me with stories of the practices then in vogue at the steel works by which the government was being defrauded in the manufacture of armor plate. I listened to what they had to say and the next day sought an interview with Secretary Herbert in Washington.
 "The result of my talk with the Secre- tary of the Navy was that he told me that he could not believe what I was saying.

 Tt appears that the first irregularities of construction was discovered by Novem- Der 8, 1892. On September 16, 1903, some intimation of the irregularities reached the managers of the company and letter is produced written by one of the super intendents enjoining greater care in the preparation of armor.
 ''I am willing to assume that the faulty construction began on November 3, 1902, and was corrected on September l6, 1903. On all armor manufactured for the gov ernment between these dates, I think 10 per cent from the price should be de- ducted.
 "The amount so manufactured between these dates is reported to be 2,647, ,9S7 tons and it's value $1, ,4O4, ,S9S. Al. Ten per cent of this value, is the amount in my opinion, that should be forfeited by the Carnegie Company to the government"

 HI. A. HERBCRT."l Subsequent to this secret investigation made under the direction of Secretary Herbert and settled by President Cleve lands decision, Congress took up the mat. ter and the Cummings committee came into existence. After hearing all the evi- dence and examining w. D. Corey and Charles M. Schwab, this committee in it's recommendations to Congress said in part under the head of criminality:
 Wrongful Act.
 'If the criminality of a wrongful act is to be measured by the deliberation with which 1t is committed the magnitude of those evils likely to result from it's perpetration and the want of provocation with which it is done, the frauds which your committee have found, are worthy to be called crimes.

The Postal Service May Be

Of This City Soon
POSTMASTER GETS ORDERS

In accordance with instructions re-
ceived from the postoffice department
at Washington, Postmaster j. B.
Maloney is to open a course of instruc-
ton in matters pertaining to the postal
service for pupils in the graded schools.
The instruction may be carried on
through the teachers, who will be
shown over the postoffice and have it's
workings explained to them. A bulle-
TIN giving brief instruction on the
principal points embraced in the instruc-
ton will be prepared and distributed.
The following order was recently
printed in the daily bulletin, which is
sent to all the postmasters in the
country.
'tPostmasters are hereby directed to
confer with their local school authori-
ties with view of adopting the most
effective method of instructing school
children as to the organization and
operation Of the postal service. These
instructions should cover such fea-
lures of the service as the delivery of
the mails, the classification of mail
matter, the registry and money order
system, and particularly the proper
addressing of letters and the impor-
lance of placing return cards on en-
velopes. Postmasters should arrange,
if possible, to deliver personal talks
to the pupils on these subjects, and
should give teachers access to the
postal guide and laws and regulations,
and render them every assistance in
securing necessary information. :"
It is possible that Mr.. Maloney will
consult with Supt. P. J. Zimmers on
the subject, and together they will ar
rive at some arrangement that will be
satisfactory to all parties It may be
that instead Of the postmaster visit
ing the schools the school teachers
will be taken through and have the
workings of the mail system explained
to them and then the teachers can in
struct their pupils.

Company Headed by 5. W. Wat.
kins, OF Milwaukee TO Have
Charge of Earl Plant
WILL MANUFACTURE AUTOS
Company is Said to Have Good Finan-
cial Backing and Mr.. Watkins
VIII be Personally in
Charge of It

Kenosha is to have another autono-
bile factory as announcement is made
that Samuel w. Watkins of MiIwau-
kee, widely known among capitalists
in this city, has closed a deal for the
lease of the factory building formerly
used by the Visible Typewriter Com
pany and more recently by the Earl
Motor Car Company. The plans OF the
Milwaukee man have not been fully
made known, but the deal has pro
crossed to such an extent that lIr.
Watkins has rented home in Kenosha
and will come to this city to live at
once. For o number Of years the Mil
waukee man has been associated with
the manufacture Of automobile engines
in Milwaukee and recently he entered
the field of making cars The expert
mental work of the new company has
all been completed and when the Ke-
nosha plant is opened it will be Cor
the turning out of cars and not for
experimental purposes. Mr.. Watkins
was in Kenosha on Thursday comp3et-
ing his plans and it is expected that
some formal announcement of the make
of the company and it's plans for the
future will be made within the next
few days. Watkins has been sue
cessful manufacturer for years and
it is thought that with him at the head
OF the company which it is said will
have plenty of capital, the hoodoo
which has been about the old Pleasant
street plant since the days OF the
Windsor Bicycle Company, will be
driven away. The announcement that
Watkins has leased the plant seems
to indicate that the Earl Motor Car
Company is out of business and attor-
neys state that the financial affairs of
that company are being settled up as
rapidly as possible.
It is understood that the new COM.
pany will take charge of the plant be-
fore the end of the present year and
that they VIII be active competitors
for the business Of the coming year.
One of the cars of the type to be man
ufactured at the Kenosha factory has
been entered in several of the fall en-
durance contests and men who take an
interest in automobile affairs claim
that the car promises great things
Nothing is known of the extent Of the
business planned by the Watkins com
pany or the number of men to be en-
ployed with the re-opening of the
plant.
