Gives Reasons for Change.

Washington. - Investigations de-
signed to be of benefit to Denver and
Fort Logan, are in progress before the
Senate military committee and the
House committee to investigate ex-
penditures in the War Department.
In the Senate committee hearing
Mai. Gen. Arthur Murray, assistant
chief of staff, explained at some
length the reasons which induced the
War Department to issue the orders
to go into effect July 1st, establishing
a system of division headquarters for
the administration of the army and
the abandonment in part of the sys-
TEN of departmental administration.
He contended that the change would
permit thirty-five officers now on duty
at departmental headquarters to re-
turn to duty in the line of the army,
that there would be saved 100000 per
annum in reduced rent, $4,000 on ac-
count of reduced Communication OF
quarters, $165,0OO clerk hire, $4,000
messenger hire; a total saving per
annum of S245,000 In addition there
would be a considerable saving on
fuel, lights, etc.
