Committee, Which Ad-

Special Despatch to THE SuS.

WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-With the eX-
animation of the last witnesses on the
subject of the defective small arms am
munition made at the Frankford Ar
senal the first phase of the investigation
into the work OF the Ordnance Depart
ment ended this morning with the tenn
porary adjournment of the Dent special
committee.
Witnesses to-day included several
chemists, Major Munroe. chief inspector
of the Frankford Arsenal, and Col.
Thompson. chief of the small ammunition
division.
All witnesses agreed that the presence
of free sulphur I'm the small arms primers
was the primary cause OF the missfires
and hangfires complained Of. and that
this formula had been bandoned as soon
as defects appeared in the ammunition
Major Munroe testified that 100000
primers have been condemned since the
trouble was discovered.
While there seems little probability
that the work OF the committee will enc
with the investigation into the cause OF
the defective small arms ammunition
inquiry into other features Of ordnance
work may be postponed until the Decem
her session in view of the attempt made
by hoth houses and the President t.
bring about as early an adjournment o
Congress as possible. IT is improbable
that the committee will report separated.
