EIS BOUNCED

Posval Official Who Was Guilty of an Indiscretion Gets a "Fire" Envelope. F0R3E2Y IS NOW LAID TO MACHEN For Which lie la To Be Indicted, They Say Bi.tow8 Report on the Smith Administration. Washington, June 18. As a result of alleged indiscretion in matters per taining to the award of cont acts for printing the money order forms of the government James T. Metealf, for many years superintendent of - the money order system of the postoffice department, has been removed from cftice by the postmaster general. The dismissal is the result of acts of Metcalf In opposition to the. bid of Paul Herman, et Ruthe: ford, N. J., the lowest bidder by $43.000, and in favor of the next highest bidder, the WynkoojK Ballenbeck-Crawford company, of New Tork, of which Metcalfs son Is an mploye, Metealf was appointed from Iowa. Xxplaaatlea of tba Cm. The Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-Crawford company has been the contractor for the money order blanks for sixteen years. Paul Herman, the lowest bidder for the next contract, formerly was in the employ of that company, as now is and has been Normal Metcalf, the 27-year-old son of the deposed superintendent The old company protested against Herman's bid on the ground that he lacked the facilities for doing the work, and Herman asked for a hearing, which First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne gave last ilonday. Metealf was opposed to the letting of the contract to Herman on the ground that he was not able to do the work. He man insisted that he could furnish satisfactory evidence of his ability to met the requirements. and offered to give bond In anyamount. Metealf says that he has done noth ing wrong and has nothing to conceal; that his son's employ in the bidding firm could have no effect on the award; that he suggested Herman's return to his old company to handle the gov ernment work there because he (Met calf) knew that Herman's cneans were limited and that a stoppage of sup plies In the midst of a contract term would have proved serious. Talk mt Indicting- Machen. Another sensation in the postoffice matter is the talk of indicting A. W. Machen for forgery. The forgery Is alleged to have occurred In 1S04, when Henry L. Lorenz, as a commissioner of the court of claims, was en gaged In adjusting the claims of let ter car.iers. The check on which Machen is accused of indorsing Lorenz name was issued on a voucher drawn on the postmaster at New York. The general Impression at the court house is that the indictment will be returned before the close of the present week and it is intimated that other indictments will be returned at the samo time. SEEMS TO VINDICATE TCLLOCII Bris tow Replies and Presents the Report of lni pec tors. Wa hington, June IS. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on the charges by ex-Cashier Tulloeh of irregularities in the postof fice department has been made public. Bristow's letter to the postmaster gen eral transmits the reports of inspec tors. These largely confirm the charges made by Tulloeh. The papers piinted in fact, constitute by far the most significant documents yet made public as a result of the sweeping postal in vestigation. The reports show the ex istence of many Irregularttla? during the period Involved. The Inspector who Investigated the irregularities reports that the files of the postoffice cashier show direct orders from superior authority for the disbursement of all the questionable items cited. ' The inspector urged "that the responsibility for the many illegal appointments, the payment of two salaries to one and the same person, and the disbursement of thousands of dollars for which practically no service was performed," should be placed wrhere it properly belongs, and the many abuses corrected. In a summary "of the several if ports the postmaster general says: "The charges of Mr. . Tulloeh is, in its essence, against President McKinley And Postmaster General Smith. President McKinley is no longer living; Postmaster General Smith, who carried out President McKlnley's policy, has answered for himself. The whole subject was taken up by Postmaster General Smith and Investigated by him. At the same time all matters referred to in. the charges affecting the payment of bills, accounts and financial dealings generally, were under investigation by the comptroller of the treasury, and all the expenditures referred to were allowed by the auditor, and comptroller with the exception of $1C0." BEAYEB ADVISED 8ILEXC3 aso, lie Said, the Taei Would Bit a Shining- Mark." In Bristow's reply, referring to the Inspector of the Washington postoffice, referred to also by Tulloeh, he says: Chief Inspector Coch;an and Inspec-tor-ln-Charge Smith called upon m and advised me that the inspectors In thf. Investigation of the postoffice had discovered many irregularities of a serlois nature which seemed to be authorized by the department." Proceeding, Bristow says: "During the progress of the, inspection I was advised by the chief inspector that Mr. George W. Beavers, chief of salary and allowance division, had suggested to one of the Inspectors that when he came to certain appointments in some of the stations that appeared irregular he had better make no reference to them, as they had been ordered personally by the postmaster general. I told the chtef Inspector to instruct the inspectors to report the facts as

they would" hi any" other" Inspection; that I did not believe th postmaster

general had knowingly authorized any irregularities. "Captain W. B. Smith, lnspector-in-charge, submitted a special report on July G as directed. This report dis closed what seemed to me glaring irregularities, and I submitted it personally to the postmaster genera!, suggesting to him at the time that It contained matter to which I thought he woulu want to give his personal attention." Gristow then refers to other reports showing irregularities of various kinds. These were ill turned over to the post master general, together with a spe cial report in which he stated that "I understand from the chief Inspector that complaint has been made that Inspector Little was asking unneces sary questions, with the possible view of embarrassing the department with regard to certain conditions in the Washington postoffice, but that after Inquiry I was clearly convinced that the questions asked were not unneces sary or Improper POUTS JTROM TUB EXHIBITS UUltary Par Boll KfsthaWls stated, and Other Beenalns; iauosltlea. In exhibit A, which is one of the reports of inspectors, Irregularities are shown such as one man claiming two salaries: same thing shown on the military rolL whe:e twenty-two men drew thirty-four salaries. Other exhibits show similar curios. X confidential report of Inspector Smith made in 1899 names four employes on the military roll who appear not to have performed any service in connection with military postal matte, s and for whose orig inal appointment or continuance on the rolls no good reason exists. A payment to W. S. Larner, a mili tary postal clerk, of $118 Is shown to be irregular, and that the cashier protested. Larner appealed to the department and the acting postmaster was informed by the department that the "Washington office held a letter from the first assistant postmaster general directing payment to be ma!e to Mr. Larner, and If that was not good enough perhaps it would obey one signed by the postmaster gener al." The amount was finally paid un der written Instructions. Objection is made to certain items of traveling expenses chaiged by Terry Heath and Beaver, and the claim of one O. II. Smith to a salary for doing nothing that the disbursing officer could find out. The cashier refused to pay Smith, when one Towers said: "General Heath wants to know why you do not pay Mr. Smith." Towers also wanted to know whether he should report to Heath the action of the cashier and was told that he (the cashier) would do his own ieportlng. Attention is called to seven cleaners, placed on the pay roll of the Washington office under authority of the first assistant postmaster general, to be charged to the appropriation for miscellaneous expenses. The inspector states that neither the postmaster nor any one connected with the Washington office was able to give any Information as to where they were employed or the nature of their work, and the Inspector is of the opinion that practically no service whatever has been rendered for the money expended. Similar things seemed to be common and the report details several. EX-POSTMASTER GENERAL SMITH Synopsis of What He Says In Reply to the Tulloeh Charges. Ex-Postmaster General Smith, in his reply, says that the payment of bonds of military clerks by the government, while not entirely regular, was war ranted under the circumstances. As to the dual compensation to O. II. Smith the ex-postmaster general says that it was the opinion of the department that any employe receiving J?2,500 or less could be paid compensation on two different rolls, but that the technical irregularity was discontinued as soon as the comptroller of the treasury called attention to it He defends certain alleged irregu lar appointments, and says the appointments were regular and that the post master should have detailed the per sons to duty. Smith says it was the postmaster's duty to provide employ mentfor the cleaneis appointed or to report to the department that there was no employment for them. Water Famine Usances Lafayette.

Postmaster General Payne has received the following letter from. Metealf asking a suspension of the o.der of dismissal until his complete defense may be heard: "I cannot but feel that under crdiniry circumstances such summary action as has been taken In my case would not have been had without giv ing me a chance to be heard by yourself in my own defense.

Points to Ills Tears of Ser vice, "The common sense of justice and the right of defense, which my score of years of faithful public service entitles me to, must impel the postmaster general to grant me this oppor tunity of demonstrating to him that his action has been hasty and unjust to a faithful public servant, who has devoted his life to the best interests of his government The suspension of your order is respectfully asked until such time as you may hear from me."
