Department of JustiGe Makes
Serious Charges Against
Men.
CLAIM TO HAVE INFLUENCE
Alleged to Have offered to Obtain Cow
ernment Work Provided Firm Split
Profits-Federal Agents Raid
Many Concerns.

Washington, June Sensational
disclosures Of alleged graft conspiracy
in connection with government con-
tracts were made on Monday by the
department of justice in announcing
the indictment in Philadelphia of John
Fleming, John T. Cavanaugh, Eugene
Sullivan and Joseph Kohn.
These men are charged with having
offered to obtain for the Quaker City
Raincoat company. Philadelphia, q
contract for 100000 army raincoats,
provided the concern split profits for
the use OF their influence"
The department severely scored the
practices of contingent fee coatrac-
tors" and promised to round up num-
bers of these men in Washington,
New York and other cities.
Late Monday agents of the depart
ment and officers of the military ana
naval intelligence spread net over
all sections of the country. Private
papers of hundreds of corporations
having contractual relations with the
government were examined.
The four men arrested fell into a
trap set by the government. B. A.
Bittan. president of the raincoat
company, having disclosed to the gov
ernment the improper proposals, the
four men were induced to come to
Washington to draw up with Britain
formal contract under which com
mission WaS fO be DaiQ.
The sum of $500 in cash was to be
exacted of Bittan for "the benefit OF
an officer in the quartermaster's
corps" who, the four men assured the
raincoat manufactures, had to be
fixed"
Bittan paid over the $500, 1t was
stated, and the money was declared to
have been found on Fleming. Kohn
was arrested at Boston.
They were al! Indicted by the
grand jury for conspiracy to commit
al offense against the United States.
Ia addition to the announcement
that search is being made of the rec
ords of all manufacturers with con-
tractual relations with the government
the statement adds:
"There is no intention to interfere
with legitimate relationship between
manufacturers and various depart
ments of the government over con-
tracts, but the manufacturer must
zeal directly with the department and
not through u middleman or agents
employed on contingent fee basis"

McAdoo Says Certificates of In
debtedness win Precede
Liberty Loan.
WILL BEAR 4 IL PER CENT
Secretary Of the Treasury Announces
Program for the Next Four
Months-Banks Asked
TO Aid.

Washington, June 1s.--The govern.
ment's financial program for the next
four months was disclosed on Sunday
night by Secretary McAdoo's announce
ment that in preparation for tie fourth
Liberty loan. to be floated probably In
October, about $6,000,000,000 certif-
Gates of Indebtedness will be issued.
They viii be offered In blocks of
$T50,000,000 each every two weeks be-
ginning June %.
Every national bank and trust COM
pany is asked to assist the government
by subscribing 5 per cent of its gross
resources monthly.
The certificates win bear AZ per
cent interest. Ike those preceding the
third Liberty loan, and win have vary
ing maturity periods, not exceeding
four months.
The announcement of this program
indicates that the fourth Liberty loan
will be for at least $6,000000,000, the
exact amount depending on govern
ment expenditures In the next four
months.
The treasury already has estimated
these roughly at about $12,000,0000 900
between July and next January l.
The sale Of certificates under the
plan in effect during the last year
amounts virtually to borrowing in ad-
vance from banks on projected popu-
lar war loans or tax collections, and
periodically refunding these short
term obligations in long-term Liberty
bonds
Depositary banks make 21z per cent
net, the difference between the Az per
cent interest paid by the government
and the per cent from the deposits.
