The' matter of an investigation has grown out of charges that appeared in the Western Graphic of Los Angeles, dated January 5, Truman's paper, in which an inquiry i{s demanded and the following allegations are made: First—From the very initial the commission was used for the advancement of & cabal in that body, who spent money recklessly and without regard to the object for which the commission was organized. Mr. Varney Gas- kill, the secretary of the commission, and a fnan absolutely unfitted for his position through lack of exgerience and downright incapacity, was allowel to run matters at his own sweet will, deepite all the efforts of Commissioner Truman to curb him within proper limits missloner Foote standing in with him and Commisstoner Runyon not caring to interfere. From the detail of the shipment of exhibits to their storing and final disposition—from Al- pha to Omega—the affairs of the commission were blundered. . The Graphic s in possession of information too direct and reliable to ad- mit of any doubt on this point. Becond—There was not only extravagance but downright dishonesty in many detalls of the commission’s work. What can be thought, for instance, of the raising of the salary of Secretary Gaskill from $250 to $600 a month? This may not be exactly stealing, but it has a look very much like it.
