GRAFT PLOT CHARGED
DEFENSE COUNCIL MEMBER IS.
ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
It Is Said Raincoat Case Is only Part
of Widespread System of
Fraud.


New York, July 24.-Agencies of tho
council of national defense were in
VOWED in the nationwide conspiracy
of alleged bribery and graft in the
manufacture of soldiers rubber rain
coats through the arrest of Harry r.
Lazarus, member of the defense
councifs subcommittee supervising
raincoat production. He is accused of
attempting to bride a government in
spector. Department of Justice agents
also took into custody Charles L. Ful-
Ter, chief government inspector for the

number of army officers are under
Investigation. and evidence against
them has been presented to the war
department.
Although the arrests applied only to
raincoat manufacturers, and to the
district of New York. government
agents have information leading them
to believe that the system of fraud is
widespread, and involves millions of
dollars in contracts.
The majority of the men now in
custody here are charged specifically
with offering brides of small sums to
inspectors for the quartermaster's de
partment, or government agents acting
as decoys, in return for favorable
recommendations on raincoats unin-
spected. Thousands of these coats
were carelessly made and fell to pieces
shortly after being put into service by
soldiers in France it is said. Others
of the manufacturers are accused of
seeking to pay sums to officers in
Washington to obtain contracts.

factory" Secretary. Baker said. The
war department, he added, has nothing
from Generals Pershing or Bliss later
than the press dispatches.

made is entirely satisfactory" said he.
