Frauds by Bristow, and Now Published. SALIENT POINTS OF THE EEP0RT As Referring to the Salt Lake City Editor, Who Makes Some Sharp Comments. Washington. Nov. SO. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Genera Bristow on the frauds in the depart ment has l;ecn given to the press with a memorandum signed by the president on the subject. The report gives in more or less detail the statements of the case that have already been print cd in thtse dispatches, adding nothing new of importance, except as to the Investigation as it affects ex-First As distant Tostmastex General Heath. As to this case the president's memoran dum simply scys in parentheses that Heath Is ft the service July 31, UK), and that "it is fct forth In the report of Mr. Bristow." Ileath's Name Is Mentioned. The first place in Bristow's report where Heath's name comes in is rela tive to the Montague indicator device attached to street letter box es showing the hours of collection. Stock of the indicatorcompany was given to Machen and I eavers. the latter getting 2,000 chares. When he received his first dividend he wrote acknowledging the receipt and saying: "I have not seen Heath, but will make another ef fort today. He Is mighty hard to lo cate just now, being busy on national committee matters.' Later he wrote: "Our friend In Salt Lake wants the Inclosed stock drawn In the name of Edwin B. Bacon. Kindly issue new certificates and have these destroyed. This letter was dated Aug. 21, 1002. Heath's Verbal Statement. On the face of the last letter is In dorsed in lead pencil in the handwrit Ing of K. II. E. Espey, secretary cf the company: "Editor Salt Lake Tribune," and on the back, 133 S. West Temple" and "9th E. and Brig bam,' the firs being Terry S. Heath's office address and the second his home at that time. Bacon is Heath's uncle by marriage. He says. he knows nothing of this stock. Heath refused, to make a written statement, but stated verbally to Inspector Simmons that be never heard of the stock, and bad no interest In th? company directly or indirectly. WOULD HAVE REMOVED HEATH Regardless of the Indications of Fraud Other Conduct Criticised. With reference to a transaction connected with the Brandt automaticcashier, the report says: "Eliminating from consideration all indications of fraud and passing upon the case whplly as a question of administrative judgment, it appears to me that this transaction would have justified the summary removal from office of First Assistant rostmaster General Heath and George W. Beavers." Further along the report says of purchases of the Hampden-canceling machine: "Of the 100 machines purchased there are at present only seventeen of them In use, and there la evidence that their worthless character was well known to both Heath and Beavers before they were ordered . . Coming 40 tbe Doremus canceling machine the report says, referring to H. J. Truesdeirs statement, , that ha "tates that he contributed $5,000 worth of ctock to Green as his share of the amount given Heath. He also stated that Dorenyis transferred $5, 000 worth of his stock in the same manner. Doremus denies, any knowledge of the stock having been given to Heath, but states that be did contribute fifty shares, par value $5,000, to Green to be used for the best Interests of the company. Doremus admits that Truesdell told him subse quently thM. the .stock was tobe trara-

MORTUARY

ferreolto TffaOi In ecnsMeratlon of receiving a large order for machines. "Ida E. CrowelL Truesdell's secretary, who was a bookkeeper In the employ of the Doremus Machine company from Oct 3, 1900, until .August, 1001, confirms many, of Truredell's statements. Heath refused to make a written statement, but said verbally to Inspt ctor Simmons that he never received any stock from the Doremus Canceling Machine company or any remuneration of any kind, directly or Indirectly. V The evidence against Heath was, also submitted to tbe district attorney, who decided that it was not suffiucient to , warrant his indictment." In this summing up Bristow says: "The total amount that the perpetrators of these frauds themselves received cannot be definitely learned, but it will aggregate between $300,000 and $400,000, while the loss to the government, considering the unnecessary supplies that have been purchased and the Inferior quality of those furnished by fraudulent contractors, cannot be estimated with any degree of accuracy.

COMMENTS BT PERRY HEATH Will Publish It All In His Paper and Attacks the Animus of the Report. Salt Lake City, Nov. 30. When exFlrst Assistant Tostmater General Perry S. Heath, now proprietor of the Salt Lake Tribune, had read the report of Bristow and the comments of th . president, he said: "I shall not hesitate to publish in the Salt Lak Tribune every word of this report, and also every word of this memorandum of the president, although there is sot a syllable in them, except'ofiicial comment so far as pertains to myself, that is news to the public. I hope my enemies, as well as my friends, will do me the justice of reading it all carefully. "It is no surprise to me to e:e the denunciation cf me In this report The author of It, from the time he entered the postoffice department up to the present moment, has, in his official capacity, pursued me personally in season and out, as every one who has been in public life in Washington during the past six years knows. Its very opening pages attacked my friend, N. W. Louis, an bonest gentleman, as the report itself is compelled to admit him to be, and it closes with impertinent and Intrusive animaderversions upon my administration. "The author seems to have studiously avoided mentioning the Important fact that many, if not a large majority, of these offenses occurred after I had left the service. Nor is tbe slightest reference made to another Important fact that I had heaped upon me ten times as much administrative and executive work, by reason of the Spanish-American war, as I should have undertaken; or the fact that during the time most of the onus of performing the military postal duties fell upon me, together with the distribution cf much of the patronage of the service in the way of appointments, and that we had to establish precedents, as we had no military postal laws; and lastly, the fact that if any one conjurtd with my name for corrupt purposes I could not know It except somebody told me. No intimation of the kind ever reached me till lately through the press. "Because I cannot be truthfully accused of ever having received any reward. In cash, bonds, stocks, presents or other form, while I was (n tbe department or rlnce I left It, my acts while in the government employ appears to be especially disappointing to the author of this report. But since much of the report is occupied with the cases of men wl.o have been tried and acquitted I am willing to trust the public to draw Its own conclusions. I welcome the opportunity to publish it In Its entirety in the columns of The Tribune. FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE rhouoancls of Cnins Fishermen Swept Into Watery GraTcs by a Typhoon Oft Swatow.
