MUST CLEAR UP RANK SCANDAL President Firmly Tackles Pcstoffice Department Affair. GIVES EMPHATIC ORDER Tells Postmaster General Payre That Fraud Charged Atmosphere Hast be Clarified at Once. A Washington special says: An emphatic order has gone forth from the white house to Postmaster Gener- al Payne, from President Roosevelt, which in effect says: “Get at the facts; I’ll be responsible for the con¬ sequences. The postoffice department has got to be cleaned up and cleaned' at once.’* In consequence, the head of the post- office department now seems to realize that the president will tolerate no half¬ hearted investigation. So intense has become the situation as regards the pcstoffice scandals that no official oi' the administration, however high up he may be, feels competent to predict where the investigation will end or what more startling sensations it will bring forth. At the department the ex¬ citement among the employes is on the increase and pervades every branch. This is regarded as a bad sign and ev¬ ery postoffice inspector in the employ¬ ment of the government is working over hours in Washington and in other parts of the country. Now that the in¬ vestigation has be« on *-he president de¬ clares that the accounts of every post- office in the country shall be gone through before this investigation stops. A large force of inspectors has been- dispatched to New York, and they al¬ ready have facts in hand which indi¬ cate that New York will prove almost as fertile a field for scandal as is the department at the capital. Postmaster General Payne’s position is one of increasing embarrassment. Ineeed, his closest friends admit that tte situation looks bad for him. When /he Tulloch charges wore first m*de Mr. Payne gave an interview to a doz- en newspaper men at the postofflee department, in which he declared the Tulloch charges were so much “hot air” and had no more weight than a “stump speech.” The forthcoming re port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Genera] Bristow, who is in charge of the investigation, is said to sustain practically every one of the Tulloch charges. The postmaster general in¬ formed the president of this fact Tues- day afternoon at a conference. The president, while regretting to place Mr Payne in an awkwar-J position, feels that the Bristow report should be made public, and he has so ordered. Mr. Payne, therefore, will have to ia- dorse a report confirming the charges which he only a short while ago de¬ clared to be “hot air." j Mr. Payne started out by making light | of the charges that there was any scan¬ dal in the department. Although start¬ ling revelations had been made while | the first assistant postmaster genera], 1 Mr. Wynne, was acting in Mr. Payne’s absence in the West Indies last winter. ;yj r Payne upon his return declared j that the , newspapers had kicked up too much of a racket and he proposed that the investigation should continue quietly. He persistently laughed at the charges that his department was j n a r otten state of corruption. He ar g Ue <i with the newspaper men in a levitous vein that they were making a mountain out of a mole hill, and that there ... „„ hr, ^ the 8m „he Mr Wynne had s-irred up. There is no getting around the fact that Mr. Payne has bungled the inves¬ tigation from the beginning. When the president returned from the west ho found things going in a very unsatis- factory way despite the emphatic or- ders he had telegraphed from various points in his tour that the investiga- tlon WHS to be pushed With rigor, and the fact that the entire postal service is undergoing a thorough inspection is the result of the personal concern the president has shown since his return.
