POSTOFFICE FRAUDS. WOMEN WERE ON PAYROLLS FOR SALARIES BUT NEVER APPEARED FOR DUTY. Postoffice Allowances Used for Junketing Trips for Political Friends of Heath and Others in Authority ' Other News. Washington, May 17 Develop ments today in the postoffice frauds are most interesting. S. W. Tullock for twenty-odd years cishier of the Washington postoffice, made pub lic a letter sent some time ago to Postmaster Ganeral' Payne rela tive to the frauds. Among other things, ex-Cashier Tulluch says in his letter: "For upwards of 19 years," the letter recites, "the conduct between the Washington City postoffice and the Postoffije department was tne precursor or a system oi allow ances to the Washington postoffice on account oj departmental expen ditures, which afterwards led to Irregularities, abases, extravagan- Ices, and removal of an obstacle on June 3o 1899. , "Considerable feeling was mani fested toward me in the office of the ' First Assistant Postmaster General because I . would not pay vouchers for services or supplies upon personal request or by direct ion over the telephone. J. Holt Livingston presented vouchers one afternoon, amounting to several hundred dollars, for postal furni ture. I rtfuaed to pay until the allowance was received. I was in formed that it would be sent down by private messengers a's soon as it was signed by the First Assis tant Postmaster-General. I again refused. "Mr. Livingston departed quite angry and some time afterward re turned with the allowance properly executed and still damp from the copying press. It was for a ship ment of furniture, as I remember, to Cuba or Porto Rico. No one had certified as to the receipt of the goods and I called the attention of Mr. Livingston to the omission. He explained that it wpuld be all right and that he needed money. .. ,1 declined to pay unless aome responsible official would acknow ledge the receipt of the goods, where upon Mr, Livingston became con fidential and told me his company did not have mueh capital, for that work had not yet even been begun upon the furniture .but that "George"had agreed to advance him the money in advance. It is need less to add no payment was made. "On account ot the intimate re lations betweea the department and the Washington office, verbal directions often aocompanied the written orders and were far more interesting. . " For example: The Postmaster one day brought me an allowance of the FirBt Assistant Postmaster-General salary and al lowance division, July 27, 1898 appointing Emma Janes and Fan nie R. Winans as cleaners or char women for ooe year from July 1, 1898, at $6.o per annum' . ' ' Handing me the allowance ' he stated that it was the intention of the department that the names of any women should not appear on any payroll; that the parties des ignated should not know that the other was in receipt of any money or had any connection with the office. Hs also stated that neither of them waB expected to report for duty. This complimentary . roll was added to later." : . Mr. Tulloch says that the classi fication act of March 2, 1889, was ignored by First Assistant Postmaster-General Heath, and that sundry persons designated finance clerks, auditors and etc, were paid illegally from $2oo to $3oo each per annum over their lawful salar ies. With only one or two except ions the appointments of cleaners, charwomen,, laborers, etc., he says, were evasions of the civib service, and the parties did not perform the duties implied in their official designations often no service whatever, transfers were made by the Assistant Postmaster-General from outside offices without any request or demand from the local Postmaster. Mr. Tulloch says the emergency measures to provide mail facilities during the Spanish War presented great opportunities for favoritism and irregularities. He says that J. w. Whitney, said to be the father-in-law H't J. Barrett, late law clerk for the Ppstoffica Depart ment, was appointed Postmaster or one of the principal v cities in Porto Rico. "When," it is slated, "he was called down sharply by the Wash ington office with reference to ir regularities in his money order ac count he wrote back, "Perhaps if you knew who my influence is you would not write to me in that manner His postal account be came so confused and full of errors that I refused to pay his salary in order to make good as far. as pos sible. "He surprised me one day by calling and demanding his back pay. This was refused until his account had been audited. Ha re plied: "Very well, at your con venience; I have been appointed to a $l,4oo position in the land office. "At the time of my removal most of the offices in Porto Rico were in arrears, some of them: for a considerable amount, and the ac counts were very much confused. Thereoords of the department should show whether these balan ces were collected in full or - not,' and if not, may it not be asked why the department did not proceed against the parties in arrears upon their bonds, paid for, contrary to the custom, by the government it self, by order of the first assistant. "Much has been 'said by ex Postmaster General Smith, ex First Assistant Postmaster Gan erar Perry S. Heath and1 Control ler Tracewell in public interviews about the exigencies of the military postal service. But did these ex igences require tne personal inves tigation of so many . Indiana, Ohio and other politicians and - friends of the officials. "Free trips to Porto Hica, Cuba and return became the fashion. All expenses were paid from the time of leaving home, Pullman hotels, etc, then a pleasant voyage upon a transport, a trip around one or more of the , islands, expenses to Washington and hotel bills there, while friends and officials were in formed of their observations:, then Pullmans and passage home. This was a pretty 'good thing' in itself, but the generous office of the first assistant not only paid all expenses but a good salary, sometime last ing for weeks and months after the return of the recipient, while no possible service was being render ed. All this was charged to the military postal service, a fund, to be used for those accompanying the Armies in the field."
