N0 GOILTY OFFGAL 0 BE SPAREL Head of Postoffice De-| partment Makes Statement. Admits That Some of the| Charges Filed Are Sensational. s Investigation Now Under Way Will Probe Operations Covering a Period Extending Many Years Back. -— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, V., WASHINGTON, April 22.—In reply to a direct question to-night to whether or uot, in his opinion, the present investi- gation in the Postoffice Department would ead to a complete reorganization and to important prosecutlons, Postmaster Gen- eral Payne sald that he had been abso- | lutely unable as yet to form any opinion as to the results. He did, howevér, frank- ly and freely admit that some of the charges flled and under were very serious in character, and if substantiated would be likely to lead to summary results. But as to whether they had been proved yet, he could not say. | “I have given the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General an absolutely free | hand in this investigation,” he said.| “Since he presented to me on my return t week, in a general way, the extent of his inquiry up to date, no official report has been ma My position now Is the same as it was then. The investigation | will go to the very bottom. Mr. Bristow, who has it in charge, is under special di- | rections, both from the President and from me. NO OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE. 8 to the reiterated statement that im- portant Senators and Representatives have urged me to let'up, I wish to again, | once and for all time, deny this. The in- vestigation has taken the widest possible »pe and some of the charges go back as far as years. The great bulk of them relate to operations in the department go- ing back to four years ago.” The Postmaster General did not care to that if criminal acts were proved at any time to the satisfaction of Mr. Bristow, a report on those phases of the | case would at once be made to the Post- master General, who would take the initi- | atory action. » First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne said to-day that he knew of no charges being filed against him by Mach- en or any of his friends, bearing on viola- tions of the civil service law or anything else. In regard to this he said that it made no difference whether charges were filed or not. They would have no bearing on the general investigation. POSTMASTERS QUESTIONED. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, in pursuing his inquiry into ex- travagance in the supply department, has | sent orders to all postmasters throughout | the country to forward at once state- | ments of the amount, character and cost of suppiles ordered for their offices. They also were asked to state whether or not in their opinion the needs of their offices had | been exceeded by the division of supplies or that of salarfes and allowances. Many replies in compliance with his order have been received and flled away for future reference. These will have a direct bear- ing on the charge that has been made | that enormo quantities of postoffice | araphernalia, such as canceling ma- | chines, twine, wrapping paper, stationery etc., exceeding what was called for, have been sent, in furtherance of a fraud in- volving a division of spoils between man- ufacturers and officers of the department. | The three more important lines of inves- | tigation now under way concern the sup- | ply department in the matters just re- ferred to; the alleged selling of promo- tions in the New York postoffice and the free delivery division, including rural de- livery contracts, which at present offers | a wide field for probing. | | | | Flea Bites Spread Leprosy. HONOLULU, T. H., April 15—Dr. L. F. Alyarez of this city hag received a let- ter from Juan de D. Carasaquilla, a pro- fessor of the University of Colombia, at Eogota, in which the statemeat is made that a number of experiments show that leprosy s communicated by the bites of fleas. The Colombian professor expresses the opinfon that the extract of the tua- tua plant, which the Hawaiian Board of Health is asked to try, has no value as a cure for leprosy. b 2 Grave-Diggers Strike.
