 MORE DELIVERIES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK, July 23.-Officers of the army quartermasters department tonight notified concerns named by the department of justice in. it's expose of an alleged nationwide graft conspir- acy in the manufacture of soldiers raincoats, that no more deliveries would be accepted until further mo- tice. They were also told payment would be suspended on large quanti- ties of goods already delivered.
 This action followed the, arrest yes- terday of IT raincoat men and the dis covery of thousands of defective rain coats, ready for shipment to France at the New York quartermaster's depot
 According to the investigators on the case. these defective coats include many bearing rejection marks and others which had not even been in- spected. These defective coats, it was said, were mixed with other coats, in bundles packed by the manufacturers
 Rejected Coats Slipped Through Investigators intimated that more rejected or uninspected coats had beer slipped through since the place of in- spection was shifted a few months ago from the quartermaster's depot to the factories. This change had been made it was said, at the request of the man. ufacturers who claimed that prompt performance of their contracts re. quired earlier payment than could bt had if inspection was not made unti | final delivery.
 Federal officials would not state whether suspension of deliveries ant payments mean that the contract! would be cancelled or whether the, would recommend seizure and opera. tion of plants by the government.

BELGIAN RELIEF
 SHIP TONED IN

AN ATLANTIC PORT. July 23.-A large four masted Belgian relief steamer passed here southbound in tow of the wrecking tug Resolute, to- day. Her name could not be dis tinguished but painted in large letters on her side. were the words: Belgian Relief Ship" She apparently was not in distress and it was thought she was the steamer which was damaged in an explosion at North Atlantic port sev- eral months ago and was being lowed to another port to finish repairs.
 When she was first sighted, how ever, it caused great excitement among shipping men. In the distance it looked as if her smokestack had been shot away. In view of the fact that she had passed through the zone in which German submarine sank four coal barges Sunday, and because of the search made by coast guard crews for ship believed to be sounding distress signals, the report that she had been attacked by the raider spread rapidly.
