Supervisor Edgar S. Martin
Suspended Pending Outcome
of the Investigation.
DOUBT AS TOLEGAlITY
OF SOME EXPENDITURES
Statement Is Made That No Question
of Moral Turpitude Has
Been Raised.

Investigation of accounting methods
in the office of the supervisor of play
grounds of the District of Colum bia is
being conducted by the District Com
missioners
Daniel J. Donovan. assistant auditor
has been placed in charge Of the office
pending the outcome of the inquiry.
Supervisor Is Suspended.
Supervisor of Fairgrounds Edgar S
Martin has been suspended, pending
the outcome of the investigation, Com
missioner Brownlow announced this
afternoon Mr.. Martin was not at his
office today.
It is stated upon good authority that
the whole question has arisen to the
use of District funds for expenses
which, it is claimed, should have been
betrayed by the Washington Play
ground association. No question of
stated.
Some Expenditures Barred.
The inquiry is the outgrowth of the
taking over of the work of the play
;
Before government appropriations were
obtained for the maintenance of play
grounds all expenses in connection with
these recreation centers were betrayed
with funds raised through private sub
scription by the Washington Play
ground Association.
After the government had taken over
the playground work and assumed the
expense of it it was found that there
certain which rnn1d not
be met with District appropriations.
The Washington Fairgrounds Associa-
tion accordingly continued in existence
for the purpose of meeting these de-
fciencles.
Upkeep of Automobile.
Among them is the question of up
keep of an automobile for the super
visor. When Mr. Martin was brought
on to Washington from Columbus, Ohio
by the association 1t was agreed that
he should be furnished an automobile.
it being the belief of those interested
efficiency of the supervisor would be
greatly increased thereby, because OF
the distance between the various play
grounds.
One of the questions now involved
pertains to the payment of a chauffeur
engaged in driving Mr.. Martins car
with funds of the District. The car in
question is partly the property of Mr..
Martin and partly that of the associa-
ton. 1t is used by Mr.. Martin in con
nection with the official playground
work. 1t often is employed in trans
porting supplies to the District play
grounds.

HEARS OF RUSSIAN CHECK
Reports Reach Berlin That Offensive

Come Completely to
an End

LONDON. April eI. 1910 pm.
Dispatches reaching London
from the French front show CON
siderable military activity, with
the artillery taking a prominent
part in the attacks made by one
side or the other.
There is little evidence, how
ever, that either side has gained,
but whatever small advantage has
been reaped seems to rest with
the Germans between the Mcuse
and the Lorraine frontier.
Slight French Gains. Y
The French have made slight ad-
vance at F'lirey. but their report sug-
gests that the gain was not proper

claims several minor successes, on"
+, being the recapture of small village
| in Lorraine, the loss of which had not
previously been admitted by the gem

\ -Mousson district appears to have
made an advance.
