e —— Y THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MAY 29, 189L §0 NEW FRAUDS DISCOVERED Captain Sempson of the Ordnance Bureau on the Stand. SHOWS HOW FRAUDS WERE POSSIBLE Tests of Plates Were Made by Carnegle Em. ploye Goverment «Oficers Only Copled the Figures Called Them by the Compnny's Mea. and to WASHINGTON, won, chief of the Nav. artment, today resumed ment before the house committee gating armor plate frauds. He took up the second charges made against the Car- negle mpany, which have been in part in- vestigated by the Navy department. Cap- tain Samson detailed the charges made by Mr. Wallace, a Pittsburg lawyer, repre- sent'ng a half dozen emp'oyes of the Carnegls works. Secretary Herbert, Captaln Samson sald, had been aboard with witness at the head. They had gone to Homestead and had found the charges and the evidence substantially similar to that at the first fnvestigation. The final report of the board was not yet completed, but in substance it would dis- close little that was new. Mr. Silt, one of the mformers, had the most comprehensive knowledge of the defects. None of the witnesses at the second hearing had ma- terial information to add to that already glven by Silt. The only thing in the bill of additional information was given by Mr. Koutz and Mr. Buck. The latter testified to a practice in the works of so fixing specimens as to give the government a false record of the tests. He testified that the falsifications continued until January 1 last. Another employe testified that the practice had always existed. Other workmen swore that the practice had continued until orders were given to discontinue it. In response t0 a question by Representative Money, Captain Samson sald Mr. Frick had given the order. Mr. Frye had heard that in- formers were taking notes, and while it was not known that Mr. Frick knew of the frrogularities, he had written a letter in September directing that such practices, If they existed, should cease. The order was in turn executed by Superintendent Schvab, who knew of the practices. In the armor plate Investigation today Captain Sampson, in explaining the manner of taking samplies, said an employe of tho Carnegie works took the samples and subjected them to machine tests. The Carnegie employes called off the resulfs and the government inspector took the figures as called off. “In other words,” sald Chairman Cum- mings, “the government tests were made by Carnegie employes, with a Carnegie ‘ma- chine, and were accepted as conclusive by the government.” Captain Sampson sald this was customary the world over. 1In the intricate processes some reliance had to be placed on the com- puny employes. The testing machine had a dial, on which the government inspector might see that the checking off was correct. The thirteen-inch armor of the Monterey had numerous blowholes with the knowi- edge of the department. The plates were hurrledly made in 1892 and would not be ac- cepted now. The Monterey plates were the flrst made. The Chilian trouble was pending and the department was desirous of hurry- ing forward the work. Chairman Cummings asked for specific detalls as to why steel armor should cost more than steel ralls. Captain Sampson sald the Bethlehem had spent $4,000,000 on their first plant. It was largely an Invest- ment on an experiment. The making of steel rails was a simple process; the mak- ing of an armor plate was an intricate pro- «cess covering six months, Chairman Cummings asked as to the state- ‘ment of Representative Coombs of New York that the first government contract had pald the Carnegle company for the cost of their plant, and yet now contracts were be- ing made at the old rate, thus paying the Oarnegies several times for their plant. Captain Sampson said he thought it was to some extent true that the more recent contracts were based on the earlier con- tracts, when the cost of the plant was con- sidered in making the price for armor. Chairmar. Cummings — DId you unearth any testimony tending to locate any of these Irregularities on Superintendent Schwab? “Not directly,” sald the captain, ‘but from the facts of the, case it was impousible that he should not have known of the ir- regularities.” “‘Has he been removed?” asked Mr. Cum- mings. “His position has been changed,” replied the witness. “But he keeps a position with the com- pany?" asked Representative Money. “I understand that he will be removed,” sald the witness. Captain Sampson - negatived the charges that bolts and screws of defective sizes and shapes had been used in securing the armor plate, Thoe department had the afdavits of Mr. Brown as to serlous defects in bolts and screws. The charges had been investigated and Mr. Brown's evidence taken. It was found that there was nothing in the charges, This closed Captain Sampson's testimony. TALKING OF ANOTHER BOND ISSUE. May 28.—Captain ordnance buresu of the his state- Investi- Represontative Balloy Getting His Resolu- tion of Inquiry In Shape for Action. WASHINGTON, May 23.—Representative Balley of Texas 'will again bring forward his resolution questioning Secretary Carlisle's authority to issue bonds to meet current expenses in case another bond issue is deter- mined upon. The Balley resolution excited much comment when the recent lssue of $60,000,000 bonds was made, but failed to have any effect in checking the Issue, for the bonds were on the market before Mr. Bailey was able to pilot his resolution through the committee and before the house. Now, however, Mr. Balley is preparing to move before another bond issue fs under- taken. His resolution is on the calendar, and he says he will endeavor to eall it up on the first intimation that official action 18 belng taken on another sale of bonds. There have been reports fhat the rapld dis- appearance of gold wonld necessitate another ‘bond issue at an early date, but Mr. Bailey will not move on these unofficial reports. He says the resolution may be changed and strengthened by being made a joint resolu- tion, and he expresses confidence that both the senate and house will pass it if it can be brought to a vote. The majority report of the judiclary com- mittee on the resolution states that it ap- pears too clear for argument that the secre- tary of the treasury was authorized to issue bonds only to enable him to provide for the redemption authorized or required in that act. Indeed, this is the very langunge of the law, and’ specific as it is it does not stop there, but in the concluding part of the en- abling section there is a plain limitation on the right to issub bonds. A minority report was made by Repre- sentatives Watson, Ray and Childs. It says of the Balley resolution: *‘Whether this action is In good taste or mot, we leave it for the members of the majority to decide. “The bonds proposed to be sold are to be {ssued, and the proceeds of a bond sale are not yet in the treasury. The secretary has not yet violated any law or misapplied any funds. He has very frankly declared that the present condition of the treasury fs arming; that unless measures are adopted by congress to replenish the treasury, now well nigh exhausted, the day s not far dis- tant when he must do one of two things cease to pay the obligations of the govern- ment, announce that the democratic govern- ment of the United States Is hankrupt, or use any money in the treasury to maintain the eredit of the nation, The minority agrees with the proposition that the proceeds of bonds should not be used for current expenses. Mroops Cannot Aot Under Civillan Orders. WASHINGTON, May 28.—The many occa- slons of late for the employment of federal t judicial officers in protecting and other properties from organized bodles of lawless men and the misconception Of the real functions of the troops has caused the fssue by General Sohofield of In- Sam- | structions to arry department commanders to the effect that when troops are so em- ployed they cannot be directed to act ander the orders of any eivil officer. The com- manding officers of the troups so employed are directly responsible to their military superiors, Any unlawful or unauthorized act on thelr part would not be excusable on the ground of any order or request re- ceived by them from a marsnal or any other civil officer. WALSH GIVES HIS TARIFF VIEWS, Denies that the Nouth is FHostile to the Interests of New England. WASHINGTON, May 28.—The senate spent eight hours today In discussing the question of free lumber. Not a vote was taken. The It bill places lumber in the rough on the free list. The debate today was upon Mr. Hale's proposition to transfer lumber to the dutiable list at the rates fixed in the McKinley law. Senators Frye and Hale of Maine and Perkins of California, Mitchell and Dolph of Oregon, whose:states are most particularly affected in the lumber industry, occupled the major portion of the time in the support of Mr. Hale'’s amendment. It Is probable the lumber paragraph will be disposed of tomorrow. Sugar, upon which the nardest fighting In the bill will occur, follows. Mr. Walsh, the new senator from Georgia, delivercd a fully prepared speech on the geaeral subject of the tariff. Referring to an assertion by Mr. Hoar in a recent speech that the south was endeavoring to ruin the industries of New England to get even, Mr. Walsh declared the people had no hostility for the people or the industries of New Eng- land. He dwelt upon Georgia's extraordinary interest in raw products and manufacturing facilities and submitted tabulated statements i the comptroller general showing the increase In taxable values for the last ten years, showIng a net increase of $130,049,491. “The senators from the south, he said, “are in this body to simply carry out the pledges made to the people by the democratic party to reform the tariff, and, in connection with the tariff reform bili, they champlon an amendment to it, which provides for a tax upon -incomes. The south favors the income tax, not from sectional or partisan reasons, but’ because it is equitable and right. It is believed to be right, not only in the south, but by tNe people of every section. “The Wilson bill, as amended in the sen- ate, is a compromise. It will be so con- strued and accepted by the great majority of the American people, who elected Presi- dent Cleveland and placed the democratic party in power." In reference to the silver question he said: “While it Is desirable to secure the remonetization of silver by international agreement, still, if the opportunity offered, I would not hesftate to vote for free col age, with or without an international agree- ment, believing the immense resources and productive energies of this country would enable our government to sustain It on a parity with gold and compel recognftion for it from the enlightened governments ot Eu- rope.” Mr. Walsh also favored the repeal of the tax on state bank circulation. At 5:45 the senate went into executive ses- siom, and shortly afterwards adjourned. GHOST OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY. Ralsed in & BIll to Curtail the Power of Federal Courts. WASHINGTON, May 28.—Something of a controversy over the state sovereignty ques- tion has been stirred up in the house judiclary committee over a bill Introduced by Rep- resentative De Armond of Missouri to define the dutles of federal courts regarding con- tempts, which provides that state, county or city officers shall not bo punished for refusal to collect taxes or assessments under the judgments rendered by federal courts against states, counties or cities where the levying of such taxes or assessments shall be contrary to the laws of the state, as con- strued by its highest courts. The bill has been favorably reported from the committee by the democrats, and Representative Wol- verton of Pennsylvania, in the report giving the views of the majority, explains that it is intended to prevent a federal court from overriding the laws of a state by compell- ing a state officer to violate them. In many of the states it I8 expected there is a limit to the indebtednetss which may be con- tracted or collected without the consent of the people, therefore judgments beyond a certaln amount could not be secured through state courts and the federal courts are sometimes resorted to. The minority report is drawn by Representative Ray of New York and signed by Messrs. Ray, Powers, Stone, Updegraf and Childs. The report character- \zes the measure as objectionable, vicious and_unpatriotic, one that strikes a blow at good government and would deprive the judlcial department of the power to enforce its decrees and nullify the purpose for which it was established. It {s characterized as an effort to revive the exploded doctrine of state soverelgnty. TOO MUCH TROUBLE TO WATCH HIM. Therefore the Nicaraguan Authorities Let the Murderer of an American Escape. WASHINGTON, May 28.—The Navy de- partment today received- a report by mail from Captain Watson of the San Franclsco on the course of events at Blueflelds up to May 19. In this report he describes the es- cape of Aguello, the murderer of the Ameri- can, Willlam Wilson, and makes it very clear that the Nicaraguan commissioner at Lacayo, who was responsible for his safe keeping, permitted the murderer to do as he pleased and made not the faintest pretense of keep- ing him safely imprisoned. Captain Watson does not refer to the res- toration to power of Clarence, the Mosquito chief and former governor of Blueflelds, and therefore it s assumed at the department that the report that such a coup was in con- templation among the British officers is based solely on the excited imagination of the Blue- flelds people. RESERVE AGENTS APPROVED, Comptroller of the Currency Sets His En. dorsement on Banking Relations. WASHINGTON, May 28.—(Speclal Tele- gram to The Bee)—The comptroller of the currency has approved the selection of the National Bank of Commerce of St. Louis to act as a reserve agent for the First Na- tional bank of Omaha and the Lincoln Na- tional bank of Chicago as reserve agent for the First National bank of Lexington, Neb. South Dakota postmasters have been ap- pointed as follows: Terry, Lawrence county, John McLeod, vice M. A. Mclsaac, re:igned; Trent, Moody county, O. I Husaboe, vice J. B. Loucks, resigned. The postoffice of Scott, Neb., has been discontinued. hereafter go to Inaval Webster county, Mail will Business of the House. WASHINGTON, May 28.—The speaker lald before the house today a letter from the family of the Hungarian patriot, Louls Kcesuth, In reply to the resolution of ccndolance of the house. - Several bills wero patsed, including the following: To fix the northern boundary lné of the Warm Springs Indian reservation in Oregon; ex- terding the time of making all proofs and payment of all lands claimed under home- stead and desert land laws for one year from the tome of final payment. The r gular order, District of Cclumbia business, was taken up. At 5 o'clock the house adjourned. Helplog Settlers Out, WASHINGTON, May 28.—The house com- mitteo on public lands has ordered a favor- able report on the bill introduced by Repre- sentative Lynch of Wisconsin affecting set- tlements on public lands under what is known as the stone and timber act. The act provides that lands should be offered at public sale, but many entrles were made in good faith upon sections which were not so offered. The bill is designed to give those settlers clear title to their lands where the Interior department has not already taken action to enforce the law. Most of the land affected by the bill Is in Wisconsin, Breckinridge Loses His Chance to Appeal. WASHINGTON, May 28.—Judge Bradley this afterncon overruled the motion made by counsel for Colonel W. C. P. Breckin- ridge to file a bill of exceptions by virtue of which the suit of Miss Madeline Pollard against him might be carried to a higher court on an sppeal. This action was taken because of the objectlon made by eounsel for Miss Pollard that Mr. Breckinridge had not complied with the law requiring that the bill of exceptions be furnished to them within three days before the expiration of the time within which the motion to file had besn made. Therefore this will prevent an appeal being taken. JEWS CANNOT TER RUSSIA. Representative Rayner Demands that United States Treaty Rights Be Enfo) WASHINGTON, May 28.—Resolutions to be submitted by Representative Rayner of Maryland to the house tomorrow will recite that the Russian government has denled o mission to that country of Rabbi Kraus- kopf, an eminent Hebrew ecclosiastic of Philadelphia, and that this action by Russia is & breach of the treaty, which gives Ameri- ean citizens the right to enter, sojourn and travel in Russia the same as Russian citi- zens are admitted to this country. The reso- lution will direct the State department to make a demand on Russia for the full ob- servance of the treaty, and in case of a refusal will dircct the severance of all treaty relations with Russia. Dr. Kraus- kopf came here recently and was accompa- nfed by Representative Tracey and Repre- sentative Strauss in calls on President Cleve- land, Secretary Gresham and other officials. It was then arranged that Secretary Gresham should notify the Russian government of Dr. Krauskopf's proposed visit and ascer- tain If there was any objection. The re- sponse came in quickly that the czar's offi- cials could not permit the visit. Mr. Rayner at once drew up his resolution, but it has been held back pending certain negotiations with Russia coneerning the Bering sea. Mr. Rayner says the case of Dr. Krauskopt pre- sents the first issue on the treaty rights of Americans to enter Russia, but there have been other congressional resolutions concern- ing Jews, but they have related to Russian Jews coming to this country. Mr. Rayner now presents the question of the treaty* rights of an American to go to Russia with- out reference to his religion or former na- tionality. The proposed visit of Dr. Kraus- kopf was for the purpose of visiting the nine provinces within which Russia restricts the Jews and to ameliorate their condition. WESTERN P TONS.

WASHINGTON, May 28.—The senate com- mittee, investigating the alleged influence of the Sugar trust upon tarift legislation, has been In secret session today considering the subject of compelling witnesses to disclose the source of information. The committee will report tomorrow. Mr. Walker, one of the correspondents, expected to have his lawyer appear for him before the ccmmittee today, but the com- mittee informed Mr. Walker he should not be wanted again by the committee. It is inferred from this statement that the com- mittee has decided not to hear any more from the witnesses until it shall decide on its course with reference to their refusal to answer question: Conflicting News from the Territory. ‘WASHINGTON, May 28.—Secretary Smith has forwarded to the secretary of war the following dispatch concerning the strike of miners in the Choctaw nation: “SOUTH MALESTER, I.

On that day the great irrigation ditch and Edgemont water works will_be formally opened, Governor Robert E. Pattison of Pennsylvania touching the button which will start the ponderous ma- chinery., Hon. Ben Butterworth will de- liver the oration of the day, while the gov- ernor of South Dakota, C. H.

It is five feet wide at the bottom and fifteen at the top, excepting for the first three miles, where it s nearly three times that size. There are two enormous storage reservoirs, one about five acres, thé other about fifteen acres. The canal has a fall at Edgemont of seventy-two feet ‘and fur- nishes sufficient power to run fifty fair sized manufactories. The location at Edgemont of a large woolen mill, a wool scouring plant and a mineral paint factory has been arranged for. B Fort Calhoun Schools Closed. FORT CALHOUN, Neb., May 28.—(Speclal to The Bee.)—The commencement exercise of the Fort Calhoun schools were held in the Congregational church May 24. The ol izens were highly pleased with the graduates' addresses and the entertainment delighted everybody, The music was excellent. The schools closed Friday with a picnie in the Calhoun park.

STOPS. PAYING CONMISSIONS ] Western Passenger Astociation Lines Reach an Agroement on Puiigrant Business, IN THE AGREEMENT 1 LOOPHOLE LEFT Only Agents Located In the First Ward of New York Specifjed - Rates to N tonal Gatherings De- clded Upon. CHICAGO, May 25.=TH& Western Passen- ger association lines today reached an agree- ment on the question of castbound emligrant business, which has for so long a time been troubling them. The Union Pacific at the opening of the meeting submitted a resolu- tion providing that neither it nor any other line should pay any commissions to any emi- grant agent located in New York. This means that the Unlon Pacific is willing to give up the contracts which it has held with Peter O'Donnel on Its eastbound business and puts'it on the same basls with reference to emigrant business as the Western Passen- ger lines and the Atchison road. The agree- ment made today exempts the business to North Pacific points, which is where the Union Pacific is likely to meet the competi- tion of the Canalian Pacific, but as this is no way effects any other line it was agreed to without debate. The agreement says nothing about the paying of commissions through any other agents than those located in the First ward of New York City, andathere is a gen- eral feeling that this omission means the carly death of the agreement. Traffic Manager Whito of the Atchison in- formed the meeting that If anything was done toward interfering with the trafiic of his line by paying agents in San Franci:co or other places that the Atchison would lose no time in making the fight from the Mizsourl river, and in this position it will have the support of the Rock Island. After the settlement of the emigrant ques- tion the matter of excursion rates was taken up, and as everybody declared that they had not made any rates which will conflict with those ndopted by the meeting it is likely that these rates will hold. It was decided that for the four large, meetings which are to be held in Denver during the summer the fare should be for the round trip to_Colorado common points one fare plus $15, and for the meeting of the National Ed- ucational soclety at Asbury Park the rates from all points in the territory of the West- ern Passenger assiclation should: be one fare plus $2 for the round trip. Similar action was taken on other large mectings for the year, STAND BY THE A MENT. Love Feast Follows Rate Slashing Among the Railroads. J. 0. Phillippi, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Missourl Paoific, returned from Chicago Sunday, where he was called to participate in the mass meet- ing of presidents, trafic managers and gen- eral managers of western lines interested in restoring freight rates. Mr. Phillippi, speak- ing of the meeting, spid it was the most harmonious body of railroad officials he had cver met. That there twere no recriml- nations or accusations; but that everybody seemed to feel the gravity of the situation and was determined, to do the very best for the roads represerjted, “It is admitted,” sald Mr. Phillippi, “that the agreement is one of the strongest documents ever pre- pared for the guidance and control of freight matters, and it is sp constituted that the presidents become responsible for cut rates, taking the matter of reductions entirely out of the hands of traffic managers. It is a very conservative agreement, and will i 50 far as I am a judge, longer than any similar document framed for the direction of traffic matters. The ball'{s over and tomor- row all the roads will’settle down to get- ting business at tariff rates.” It s decidedly intaresting, - however, at this time, notwithstanding ~Mr. - Phillippi's roseate view of the situation, to notiee that the question of transportation has not been touched upon whatever, roads being left as before as to this feature of securing busi- ness, which is pursued by every trunk line. While the general order is to get business at tariff rates it says nothing about issuing transportation, which is left discretionary with contracting agents Railway Notes. General Manager Dickinson returns today from Chicago. The freight offices will be closed on Decora- tion day and it is understood the headquarters of the various railroads will also close. Messrs. Payne of the Union Pacific and Godfrey of the Missouri Pacific returned yesterday from Lake Washington, Minn., Where they had fine luck fishing. . Messrs. P. J. Nichols, J. H. McConrell, Louis A. Korty and B. Buckingham of the Union Paclfic, and J. 0. Phillippt of the Mis- sourl Pacific go to Lake Washington today in General Superintendent Nichols' pri- vate car for several days outing.
