Investigation Leads to Ban On
Liquor and Gambling On
Board Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO.-The selling Of
liquor and pies and the practice of
gambling on the transports plying
between San Francisco and Manila
has been abolished, according to the
soldiers who arrived on the transport
Logan yesterday.
Though there were nearly a thous-

The lid has been closed down tight,
ever since the ship sailed from Manila
when Colonel Chamberlain of the Phil

and trial by court martial of any
offenders. In the case of civilians
being implicated, the culprit would
be tried in the Federal courts.
Before this the department had con-
Quoted quiet investigation, during
which II is claimed that startling con-
ditions developed. II is claimed that
the testimony of various members of
the stewards department of the trans
port, showed that thousands of dollars
worth of liquor and several thousand
pies had been disposed of during each
trip.
Although the pies were supposed to
have been made from the table waste,
this Is discredited by many, who say
that when the inquiry is finally con-
cluded and the results made public,
II will be shown that over half of the
-four and much other material supplied
the commissary department, went into
the little pies, to the private profit of
an organized gang, in the employment
of the service.
Despite the fact that the results of
the investigation have been kept secret
II is said that number of persons
associated with the service have been
implicated and that action will shortly
be taken by the department at Wash
ington.
II is said that the disregard of the
regulations prohibiting the sale of
liquor on board the transports, has
grown so fragrant of late, that the
suspicious of the department were
aroused and the investigation ordered

during the last two sessions of the
legislature to put these on a sound
basis and with view to the proven
ton of waste of funds and the great

THE new laws in regard to this
matter need careful working out, and
in connection with the finances, as
