BOGUS MAIL CoNTRACTs.--It has been discov-
cred ut the Post Office Department that all the
great mail contracts for Texas, Arkansas and
louisiana were awarded to what are technically
made to set them aside. 1t is believed that these
straw bids were made by collusion with favored
contractors In order that they might be set
aside, and then the department would have to
fall back upon the highest bidder. If this scheme
should succeed, the old rates would be preserved
and the department would be heeced out of
more than million dollars 1t is known that
favored contractors frequently employ straw
III ell for the very purpose here indicated, and
this ls often done, too, with the connivancc of
officials.
