This fact was made known yesterday following the ar- raignment of Lopis-Davidson, propri- etor of the Universal Cloth Shrink- ing and Refining Works, 147 West Twenty-second street, who was or- dered locked up in the Tombs on a | charge of embezzlement. Davidson is ! alleged to be concerned in the misap- | ! propriation of olive drab- uniform cloth valued at about $50,000. Several other arrests, it is said, will be made, | two of them probably today. Because of the fact that the investi- gation is not yet quite complete, the | federal officials in charge of the case | refused to make public all the de- | tails last night. At least two mer, I in the employ of the government, ' both connected with the army supply ! service, are said to be. under suspi cion. Public accountants are now going over the books of these men..' The examination of the books will | prbably be concluded this morning, ' and it will then be possible to esti- i mate the total loss which the govern- | ment has sustained as a result of ! the disloyal actiors of men tn its em- | ploy and of «thers with whom it did | business. "Assistant TUnited States District At- | torney John C. Knox is in charge of | the case for the government! Mr." Knox, -following a conference with i officers of the quartermaster corps, lsald the complaint on which David- ~son was held was based on the allego.- ‘tion’that Davidson had sold 100 bwlts | of stolen uniform cloth, the value of | ‘the 100 bolts being in excess of $10,- | 000. Davidson, it is alleged, sold | it at a price lower than the whole- | sale price paid by the government. The investigation to date has loca'ed 350 bolts of stolen cloth, the value | Peing about $50,000. The government, it was pointed out, purchases the olive drab cloth un- | sponged and sends it for shrinkage ! td private contractors. The cloth is | shipped direct, from the mills to the ! and from these warehouses ‘it is sent to the shrink- age. plants. The frauds began after the délivery of the cloth to the army ' warchotses and”was made possible by the falsifying of the entries"recordin its transfer to the shrinkage plants.’, That the.government: was bt!ng« tematically robbed first becamec known about four weeks ago, when | officers of the quartermaster corps | disovered certain discrepancies in the accounts of at least two auditors employed by the government. Ser- geant George Barnitz, of the army in- telligence service, was assigned to the case, Barnitz, alded by several secret service agents attached to the army intelligence service, finally - found the secret of the disappearance of the cloth and in every instance the theft' s of Hot Water - Before Breakfast | a Splendid Habit Ov;n slulee: wf the system each \mofning and wash away the i M:gfi-. stagnant matter. .; Those -of us who are accustomed to | il ‘amd heavy when we arise; uug headache, stuffy $rom a cold, l 1 tongue, nasty ‘breath, | acid; mach, lame back, can, instead, oth look and feel as fresh as a daisy ways by washing the poisons and | ns from tthe hody with phosphated t water eacli morning. ‘We should drink, before breakfast, } glass of veal hot water with a tea- ipoonful of limestone phosphate flush fromi, the stomach, liver, ieys and ten yards of bowels the vious day’s indigestible waste, sour 2 and poisonous toxins; thus cleans- b1 pg, gweetening and purifying the tire alimentary tract before putting | ore food into the stomach. ‘The action of limestone phosphate | _hot ‘water on an oempty stomach derfully invigorating.
