Puget Washington, Aug. 29.— Sensational charges of graft in the navy yard at Puget sound have been brought to the attention of Secretary Bonaparte, through a report of Special Agent R. H . Pickerel, who has been condudcting an investigation at that point for several weeks. It is charged in the report that cer tain employes of the yard have been- smuggling government supplies from the yard, and that one of the govern ment launches has been used for months to carry the goods and mater ial from Bremerton to “ fences,” from which they are sold; that employes are compelled to live in certain boarding houses, where they are charged exorb' itant rates, and they do not move for fear of being laid o ff; that alien con tract labor is employed at the yard, and that a number of fugitives from justice are employed there. These charges are backed up by affi davits, which show that corruption rivaling that exposed in the Postoffice department exists at the navy yard. It cannot be learned against whom the charges are made, but it is declared that when Captain Burrell, the new commandant of the yard, arrives to re lieve Admiral Barclay, he w ill order a thorough examination of all employes under suspicion.
