No Immediate Changes In Department
Contemplated, and It May be Sev
eral Weeks Cefore Inspectors Com
plete Their Work.
Washington, April 14. Postmaster
General Payne gave out a statement In
which he announced that the investi
gation of the affairs of the postofflce
department will be continued and that
any parties found guilty of wrongdoing
will be dealt with summarily. The
statement follows:
"During the months of January and
February, information and reports
reached me which I deemed It for the
public Interest to Investigate, and I,
personally, gathered such Information
and facts as would enable the proper
officers of the department to undertake
a thorough Investigation as to the
truth or falsity of these reports. 1
directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster
C.eneral Brtstow to take the proper
steps to Institute the necessary Inquiry,
using for that purpose the postofflce
inspectors' division and such other
methods as would thoroughly ascertain
the truth or falsity of the charges or
Insinuations made, and he was In
structed to proceed promptly and with
vigor during my absence. Since my
return this morning I have not seen
General Hrtstow, so that 1 am not ad
vised of the progress made. The Inves
tigation willcontimio, and if any wrong
doing is disclosed, the parties guilty
of such wrongdoing will be summarily
dealt with. If the system or method
of doing business In the department is
faulty, the proper remedies will be ap
plied without fear or favor. I Inaugu
rated the investigation with the deter
mination that it should be exhaustive.
It Is proper for me to add that I laid bo
fore the president the Information
which I had in my possession, and that
he fully approved of tie action pro
posed by me."
The whole administration of the
postoffice department is made subject
to the investigation under Postmaster
General Payne's directions, nn.l every
charge will be pushed thoroughly and
the inquiry made ns thorough ns the
department's most expert inspectors
can make it.
At the same time. Mr. Payne's pur
pose is to give fair and just treatment
to all concerned, and not to act arbi
trarily and wit- undue haste. For this
reason it can be stated that no imme
diate changes of importance In the per
sonnel of the service are now contem
plated, and changes will depend largely
on the report to be mM-j by Fourth
Assistant Postma,'' at Brtatnw
oa the Investigation, although circum
stances may necessitate some devia
tion from this policy.
It Is learned that It may be several
I weeks or more before the postofflce In
spectors will be able to complete their
j work. When they have finished. Fourth
; Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
. will prepare a comprehensive report on
the whole subject. The report neces-
sarlly will embrace matters as to which
I publicity may not be warranted, so it
; is probable some parts of the report
I will be withheld from publication.
An Alleged Promotion Syndicate.
N-w York, April 14. No arrests
have as yet been made as a result of
the Investigation said to be In progress
of the charges that an alleged promo,
tion syndicate had been operating to
lecure payment from employes of the
New York postofflce for increase in
salaries. Postmaster Van Cott said
that he had heard nothing official from
Washington as yet concerning the al-
1 leged postoffice scandals. He is still
loath to believe that any such alleged
ryndicate could operate In the New
York postoffice without his knowledge,
and he cannot see by what agreement
the men were induced to part with
their money, IX such were really the
J case.
