WHAT HE KNEW oF THE NICHOLS AND TOWNSHEND, EXPERT COMPILERS THE METHOD OF HAND cM eS OF CRANE, ALSO AS TO THE THING IRREGULAR 1X ING PAPERS. The investigation into the weather bureau started off at 11 o'clock this morning without any evidences of war or bloodshed. Prof. Harrington and his counsel, Mr. Ross Perr: occupied, as usual, one of the tables. and assoon as Gen. Colby arrived Mr. Perry said that in view of the ruling of 3 he did not de- sire to further cross-question Mr, McLaugilin. This was something of a surprise. The raling referred to was that Mr. McLaughlin need not answer questions in regard to where he had bis letter of March 29 typewritten and to whom he had shown it. The intention of these ques- tions evidently was to connect Mr. McLaughlin with a conspiracy among signal eervice men. Mr. Perry then further stated that he desired to have ex-Secretary Rusk called for tomorrow, Senators Coke and Mills, he thought, would not be necessary, but Representative Long be wanted. CHIEF CLERK SwITH EXAMINED. Chief Clerk Horace E. stand. He remembered the employment of the expert compilers named, that is Madden, Mrs. Plummer and Mra. Ad: ‘They were employed for especial work, and there three arew, he thought, $1,000 ch. Knew about their quulifications at the time of & pointment, He remembered that Mrs, Pune mer had said she could not do and the chief clerk of the Agricult Department had sent over a Miss Smalley taken Mra. Plummer to the Agriculiural 1) partment. Did not know what salary Miss malley drew. To a large extent his k edge of Mrs. Baker eame from the regu- lar reports, Mrs. baker was still at the office. Madden was not now on the rolls. Mrs. Baker was, he thought, engaged now in copying work. He believed) she still held the commission of expert compiler. Witness did not remember whether Lieut, ral Pursell or himself had suggested first that Mrs. Baker be put at conying. Ho did not know that these clerks wete inefficient. Had never especially noted Madden's rating. McLangulin had the statutes in regard to the chief clerk read to show, us he said, that the chief clerk's duty was to’ especially ‘scan the ratings. The testimony then branched off into the fourth charge as to the appointment of mossen- gers and laborers, not necded as such, and used afterward as clerks, in violation of service. Questions were asked in re; appointments of Miss Dart and Miss Both, he thought, bad been eng ou work which was more the work of labovers than clerks. Witness thought the same would apply to Miss Lawton, another naine me tioned. Ali three were carried on the roster as doing miscellaneous work. ie did not remem- ber any change in the roster with regard to these laborers. THE CRANE PROMOTION. Asswitch off was taken to the Crane promo- tion and Gen. Colby wanted witness to tell all he knew in the matter. Witness testified to first meeting Crane in Philadelphia in 1891 when Crane was assistant observer there. BE: came interested in him. ‘The acquaintance was Kept up to a certain extent. In the early purt of March Crane called on him, and in the conversation Crane said that he thought he should have more pay, and witne had told him that the only way'was to rake formal application and get it on file. Did not make any promises, Did not think the Nichols ease was mentioned in this conversation, Had received letters from Crane, in which Nichols was mentioned. So far as witness could re- member, the remarks in regard to Nichole were of a varying character. Had answered these letters, but only once remember to have e=pe- cially mentioned Nichols, ‘This letter was in answer to one from Crane, in which he had said that Nichols ecemed to rely on his fathe for protection, and witness had auswered th: it wouid be very easy for Crane to make Nici ols understend that if he did not brace up be would have to go, father or no father. Witness did not know until lately that Nichols had any influence in the bureau. He had talked with Mr. Rockwood in regard to the matter. As he remembered he had said to Mr. Rockwood that he had received complaints from Norfolk in regard to Nichols, and Mr. Rockwood had said that be was afraid Nichols was a bad egg and would bnve to go. Anotl time he had heard Kockwood say that he thought he might go down to Norfolk and see if he could not straighten the matter out. Did not know whether this would have been an unusnal step on Mr. Rockwood’s part, NO IRREGULAR HANDLING OF PAPERS, Questioned in regard to Crane’s application for promotion, Mr. Smith thought there was nothing irregular in the way the cation had been handled. He had talked with Prof. Harrington in regard to the application and bad said that he thought Crane was well worthy of promotion, In answer to leading questions from Gen. Colby ‘Mr. Smith testificd that Nichols’ name bad not | been mentioned, and, further, witness stated | emphatically that in this application and pro-| motion the juestion of Nichols had never in any way entered his mind fr. McLaughlin questioned witness in regard to the way the aplication had been handled, but witness denied that the papers had been handied in an irregular way. Wit- ness bad never talked with Mr. Rockwood in regard to Crane's promotion. THE TOWNSHEND LETTER OF ADMONITION. ‘Mr. McLaughlin then started on the Towns- hend affair, with reference to the letter of ad- monition written to Townshend. Witness ro- membered McLaughlin objecting to the wording, “your past good record,” as giving the ‘man fn clean histors. Witness ied that McLaughlin had told him at the time that Townshend had been guilty of for- gery, He simply me that in a general way McLaughlin t the wor t prove bothersome in the future. Se Mr. Perry cross-examined witness, The ap- pointments of the expert compilers referred to had been made by the Secretary of Agricul- ture. Did not know who had recommended these persons. Mrs, Adams remained in the office at present through appointment from the Present, Secretary of Agriculture. To the ofhis knowledge the transfer of Mra. Plummer hadbeen ordered by the chief clerk of the Agricultural Department. DID NOT KNOW NICHOLS. In regard to the Crane matter Mr.Smith testi- fied that he did not know Nichols and that none of his actions in regard to the Crane appoint- ment had the rlightest reference to Nichola. He believed Crane worthy of promotion and felt friendly to him also. The application of Crane, to the best of his knowledge, had been directed to” the Secretary of Agriculture and bad over to. the | bureau opened: pointment be bad never heard Nichols’ name mentioned. Witness stated emphatically that he knew Mr. Smith did not remember the appoint- ment of Titus Townshend. ‘The first he knew Rram so often mentioned and the prepa- ration of the letter of admonition.

Mrs. Cleveland isin as excellent health as she has ever enjoyed, and her journey to Now York did not even fatigue hor, The statements published this morning that she had been taken iil during the naval review and was obliged to leave suddenly were without the slightest foundation and were due to the lack of kuowl- edge on the part of newspaper reporters of the | prearranged plans. it was know | here before Mrs. Cleve- | innd lefs the city that ehe would return yester- | day a on, and a special car was attached | to the train leaving New York at 5 p.m. by the Pennsylvania road for her benefit,” Whon the | review postponed from the morning to the afternoon on account of the bad {Weather it was arranged that should the review not be over in time a xpecial tug pplied by Admiral Gherandi would convey the Vresident’s wife and Secretary Thurber from the Dolphin to the wharf of the railroad. ‘This program was carried out, which occasioned the false story of a sudden illness to be spread. ———— MR.
