lieves that the Government can get
back hundreds of millions ot dollar
through a vigorous prosecution ot
those cases. As ono Instance of the
ridiculously low prices accepted by
the Secretary of War, Mr. Graham
cites the powder plant at Old Hick

ernment expended $90,000,000 but
which never produced a pound of
powder for use In the war. On Octo

ceiving only $200,000 cash and the'

take time to confirm. Of course, the
