Trap Laid for Davis.

Some Of the petty officers suspected
that Davis was selling the government
stores out of the storerooms and putting
the proceeds in his own pocket. So
trap was laid for him.
Several Of the younger men of the crew
were given money and instructed to try
to buy coffee, cocoa, sugar, etc, from
the steward in the stOrerOOms. 1t Is I'M
derstood that this plan was successful.
Capt. Welles of the Louisiana placed the
accused man under arrest and preferred
charges against him with the commander
in-chief.
A general investigation followed and it
was found that on several ships an i'm
portant safeguard against graft had
fallen into disuse. The regulations pro-
vide that whenever commissary stores are
received on board the officer of the deck
shall cause a memorandum OF the kind
and amount received to be entered In full
in the ships log. Through carelessness
this had often been neglected.

MUFFLED MOTOR EMPLOYED.
Trial Flights at College Park With
New Flying Machine.
SOI Penn.
Avenue.

Several trial flights We're made at
College Park aviation field this morn
ing with a new flying machine equipped
with a mUffied motor. 1t was the first
time a silent motor had ever been used
on an aeroplane. The military i'm
portance of a noiseless machine had al
ways been obviOas, but the aviators
themselves said the necessity for
listening to the noise of the motor to
see how it was behaving outweighed
the desirability of a silent machine.
Lieut.. Harry Graham has been try
ing the new motor. and made a flight
with 1t yesterday afternoon. He said
il was dangerous TO fly without some
thing to keep tab on the motor, and
had an electric revolution counter at
tached TO his machine This seems to
be working satisfactorily. On the flight
this morning the gasoline feed pipe
pulled loose when at a height of about
100 feet, and the aviator had to glide
down.
Lieut.. Harold Geiger. who flies the
Curtiss machine. made another flight
yesterday with the little fast scouting
machine. 1t developed a speed of more
than sixty miles an hour,

Problem Before Officers.

The problem facing the officers of the
feet is that of securing evidence against
the bride givers rather than solely against
the bride takers. They do not feel at
liberty to divulge at this time the nature
and extent of the evidence already in
their possession, but they hope that when
the men involved realize the gravity of
the charges they will confess in the hope
Of clemency and implicate others against
whom the governments case is incom-
plete.

THEORY OF MITHRAISM.
DR.. I. M. Casanowicz Is Heard by
the Archaeological Society.

Speaking before the Anthropological
Society of Washington at the National
Museum yesterday afternoon, DR.. I. NJ.
Casanowicz of the museum traced the
history of the ancient Persian cult of
Mithra from the earliest days of record
ed history and advanced the claim that
much Of the ritual Of the Masonic lodge
as well as many Of the most sacred doc
trines of the Christian churches. were
borrowed from this mystic belief. Mithra,
the speaker said, was worshiped as the
god of light, or goodness. and was
thought to be the mediator between the
people OF this world and the Supreme Be-
ing.
Dr. Casanowicz traced the development
and spread of the cult, saying that when
three worshipers of Mithra dedicated a
temple to the god on the banks Of the
Danube, in the early days of Roman SUI
premacy, all of Europe was on the brink
of being turned over to this belief of an
Asiatic people. The Mithraistic theory of
belief being that the soul is first born in
heaven, descends to the seven planets In
preparation for being again born, and at
death ascends again through the seven
planets for judgment and, If found at, for
temporary abode in heaven again. The
address was of more than ordinary inter-
est and held the closest attention Of the
audience.

Believed to Have Been Buried Year
Ago by Medical Students,

The finding of a human skull buried in
the yard in the rear of 1893 Rhode Iseland
avenue northwest, this morning about 10
o'clock. suggested to the police the posi-
bility of crime having been committed.
An examination, however. made it appear
that the skull had been inferred a year or
more, and the police think 1t was buried
there by a medical student. 1t is said

the house.
A young man residing in the Rhode
Island avenue house unearthed the

GRAFT CASE AMAzES
Commissary Stewards of At
Iantic Fleet Are Accused.
ONE IS UNDER ARREST
G. 7. Davis Alleged to Have Been
Caught by Traps Laid by
Louisiana's Officers.

Ofhcials of the Navy Department are
amazed at the extent of graft and pecu-
lation said to have been perpetrated by
certain commissary stewards attached to
various vessels of the Atlantic feet.
Word has been received at the depart
ment Of the arrest of G. T. Davis. chief
commissary steward of the u. s. S. Lou
isiana. for indulging In irregular prac-
tees in the handling Of provisions and
supplies for the ships company 1t was
further reported that Davis has made a
statement acknowledging his own guilt
and duplicating five other cOmmissary
stewards attached to vessels of the fleet
The identity of the others said to be
implicated will not be disclosed at the de-
partment pending the result of the in
vestigation now in progress.
Duties of Steward.
The commissary steward of a ship has
direct charge, under the paymaster, of
the purchasing and preparing of the
mems rations. He plans the mems meals.
buys the provisions and supervises the
cooking and serving of the food. The
bills are paid out Of the crews ration
money by the paymaster on the steward S
vouchers.
1t is now charged that several of the
commissary stewards of the Atlantic
fleet have been getting a "rakeoff' from
contractors, sometimes in the form of
direct brides. sometimes in more covert
ways, in return for which fraudulent
vouchers have been passed by them and
unwittingly paymasters have paid for
stores never delivered, or of a quality
much inferior to that represented.
For some time the Louisiana had been

ditions became so bad that the men, held
Indignation meetings in the forecastle,
