These are alternatives which affect

Washington, June 12.-Charges that
the type Of detonatihg fuse in navy
shells is inferior will be investigated
by the senate naval committee, Secre-
tary Daniels stated today, when that
body begins investigating a letter re-
ceived which charges that confidential
information in the ordnance bureau
was being disclosed by a spy or a
traitor.
The secretary has directed Rear
Admiral Earle, chief of the bureau,
and his two immediate predecessors in
that Office, Captains Twining and
Strauss, to appear before the COM

part in the development of the fuse
and believe it to be the most efficient
yet devised in any country.
The second phase OF the inquiry will
be to discover how highly confidential
information in the letter became known
to the writer.
