TALE IS EXPLODED
Seattle Postoffice Site Con
demned Months Ago.
TIDE NOT REAL REASON
Democrats Stir Up Scandal in Ef
forts to "Get Something On"
Representative Humphrey.
, Heal Story Comes Out.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Nov. 3. There are indications
that Democratic politicians identified
with the Administration intend to build
up a scandal around the purchase of a
branch postoffice site in Seattle. The
first intimation came when a dispatch
was received from Seattle the day of
Secretary McAdoo's visit, announcing
that the Secretary had gone out to in
spect the postoffice site which had been
purchased by the Government at a cost
of $170,000. and had failed of his pur
pose because the site was five feet un
der water. The story added that the
Seattleites explained to the Secretary
that "the tide was in."
Later records of the Treasury De
partment, which partisan officials did
not study in their effort' to "get some
thing on" Representative Humphrey,
show that this postoffice site was con
demned by Secretary McAdoo six
months ago, not because of its location,
but because it is too small.
The site is on the tidelands, which
today are about as valuable as any
lands in the business section of Seattle.
It "was bought four years ago, with a
view to erecting a branch postoffice ac
cessible to the waterfront. Congress
reiusea to mane an appropriation for
the building, and the Seattle postoffice
for the past four years has been obliged
to rent quarters to take care of the
overflow.
Secretary McAdoo found the site was
not large enough to meet the present
needs, to say nothing of the needs of
the future, and ordered It sold. The
site was not condemned when Secretary
McAdoo visited Seattle, but six months
before his visit.
Furthermore, property values in the
neighborhood of this site have In.
creased since that site was bought by
