A SURPRISING DISCOVERYEXTENSIVE FRAUDS IN DEVONPORT DOCKYARD. London, March 6.
It is reported that extensive frauds have been discovered at Devonport dockyard which compromise all ranks of employees there. Detectives are now making a thorough investigation into the mattei. It is not yet known whether the ordinary workmen are implicated in the fraud, but it is asserted that a number of officers and men on the permanent staff are mixed up in dishonest practices which have been going on for a long time past. A number of copper workers have already been arrested for fraudulent practices. It is alleged they have been in the habit of using Government material for private work, and that they performed this private work during hours in which they should have been engaged in Government work.
