CRAFT IS IN THE MILLIONS Officials Stand In With Law Breakers and Thieves. PERRY HEATH IS INVOLVED Men Who Were In the Departments Received a Very Small Portion of the Money Spent Uselessly by the Government. y The amount of money secured by the corrupt officials, and their confederates Is email, as compared to the total loss to the Government. To Illustrate: There Is no evidence that Louis re ceived any compensation from. Ault & "Wlborff, yet during the first year of his administration the expenditures for canceling Ink Increased over $10,000. Barrett recehed but $0000 from Arnold, yet that company defrauded the people out of oer $3,000,000. Machen probably did not receive moro than $25,000 from the Gran fastener. Yet the Government has paid approxi mately $130,000 for that device, which represents a net loss, since the de partment continued, by the terms )f the contract for letter boxes, to pay for the original fasteners. Beat era and his associates received less than $20,000 from the automatic cashier. Tet the department expended $74,275 for this -wholly unnecessary machine. The total amount that the perpe trators of these frauds themselves ic celved cannot be definitely learned, but It will aggregate betwen $300,000 and $400,000, while the loss to the Govern ment, considering the unnecessary aupplles that have been purchased and the Inferior quality of those furnished by fraudulent contractors, cannot be estimated frith any degreo of ac curacy. ac4 &J' ?". WASHINGTON, Nor. 29. At last tho long-looked-for report of the Fourth As sistant Postmaster-General, J. L. Bris tow, is given to the public. It is not to bo wondered at that politicians through out the country began to squirm and wriggle when President Roosevelt an nounced that he had selected Mr. Brlstow to make a full and fearless Investigation of tho frauds which have existed in the postofflce at Washington, D, C. since 1S33. Neither Is it to be wondered at that these same politicians hurried to Washington post haste and begged and supplicated the President in an effort to have him call off this human sleuth hound. Mr. Brlstow has certainly ploughed deep, and he has unearthed a most as tounding state of affairs, and his report "boiled down," as orderedby the Presi dent, exposes to the light of day a series of gigantic frauds, collusion and .high handed robbery such as has never before existed In any branch, of tho United States Government. Stripped. as the re portis, of any attempt to closa'over any fthe gigantic frauds and steals, Mr. 3rislow has added zest to it byf timely Interjections of slang-and pithy com ment.

G. A. Vlllere,?3New Orleans, a representative of thecompanles, on June 2-1, wrote tho sedftary of his com pany as follows: I have got the strongest assurance that the Government Is our friend and will do all they can for us. Being eure of this I wanted to return home, but Butterworth, Dudley, and Tyncr himself tell me I must stay here; that I will be needed. "On June 23, four days later, he again wrote: Had a long Interview -nlth the law clerk (rery tatUfactory). He Is a nice fellow and a relative of Tyners wife. His name Is Barrett and be has chars: o of this matter of ours and la conducting the ln estigation. ... I expect a suspension order by about Thurs day. "This letter was -written on Monday, June 23. The fraud order was revoked on Wednesday, the 30th, one day earlier than Vlllero expected. "After tho fraud orders against theso institutions were revoked bond-Investment schemes multiplied until there were several hundred In the "United States. Rewarded With a Gold Watch. "E. G. Lewis, of St. Louis, Mo., was conducting what Is known as an endless chain scheme. .Barrett ruled that his scheme was a lottery, but no fraudorder wa3 Issued, and as an acknowledgment of Barrett's lenient treatment Lewis pre sented him with a gold watch. "Samuel Harris, of New York, pub lished In the papers a picture of an eye, then the letters D and A, followed by the picture of a hoe. The advertisement an nounced that ?100 reward would be given to anyone" who would correctly answer the name of the state represented In the picture. When an answer was sent In the correspondent was advised that under the rules of the company it was necessary be fore a cash prize could be given for him to purchase one package of the renowned Curallne tablets, costing 50 cents. After buying the package the victim was ad vised that so great a number had an swered correctly that It becamo neces sary to divide the 5100 prize among them equally. The amount due each would not exceed 2 or 3 cents. "A fraud order was Issued against Har ris, but after Barrett retired1 from office he became Harris' attorney, had the fraud order revoked, and Harris ran the same old business for months without In terruption." Fee Brings Decision Desired. Among the other cases cited Is that of an electric belt Arm of Chicago. Bar rett received a fee of J5000 from these peo ple and wrote a note to Tyncr, indicting the kind of a decision he wished. In a few days the caso was disposed of as suggested by Barrett. Barrett also received J3O0O from the famous E. J. Arnold & Co., known as the "turf get-rJch-qulck concern." The re port also tells how Mrs. Tyner rifled the safe at the Postofflce after her husband had been removed. In closing, Mr. Brls tow says: v "For six years under Tyner's adminis tration certain favored frauds and lot- terles were given free use of the malls. Barrett's scheme to resign and practice before the office, and Tyner's part In that scheme, as set forth In the body of this report, was the climax of official per fidy, moro evil la its results and more de moralizing to the public conscience than outright embezzlement Or open theft."

The retaining of Chief of Police Fackler, who made himself obnoxious to all classes, had a bad effect on Campbell's popularity. FOSTER FACTION A. V.

Factional differences that are cropping out In connection with the approaching municipal campaign and .that threaten to make themselves felt In the fight for tho control of the Republican primaries next Fall have given the Impression outside Pierce County that the Republican lead ers hero are split up badly. Local Repub licans will not confess that the situation, is serious, butObero is no question but ,that Merce- JHh ,to loss her prestige "unless some K a lent Is made. There is a l3y5i leadership. The ab sence of "harmony on municipal questions naturally makes it impossible to bring tho party together solidly one a local issuo and to keep discord out of the city fight. After the city convention It may be as sumed the ticket named will be supported and elected. It will be elected of a cer tainty, but the danger lies in the fact that a bad taste might be left in tha mouths of those who hae been com pelled to swallow a ticket they did not want. Harmonizer Has Departed. The Campbell and anti-Campbell fac tions in municipal politics havo been rather bitter in the past. A possibility of bridging over any possibility of frlc-v tlon existed while State Senator Ed S. Hamilton was working to remove tha causes of dissension with every prospect of success, but there Is no other Hamil ton to bring the factions together, now. Now and then Campbell permits It to be believed that he will be a candidate for renominatlon. This occurs when someone has just made an attack on him and the possibility of being retired under fire arouses his fighting blood. Campbell does not want the Mayoralty, and If tho anti-Campbell faction -nlll keep quiet ho tv 111 not bo In their way, But at the samo time his withdrawal does not Insure the certainty of the lack ot an admlnlstra- tlon candidate. However, veyen that might be made satisfactory to the men who havo 'been -flighting him.
