Conduct of the Pension

WASHINGTON, May 12.--The committee on
reform IN the civil service to-day resumed
investigation of the charges that certain
federal employees in Baltimore violated the
civil service law without incurring punish
rnent. Postmaster General Wanamaker an
peared, bringing with him, at the request of
the committee, tho report OF ths postoffice
inspectors, giving the result Of their inves-
tlgation into the Baltimore postofiice. He
desired to say, in view Of the comment
upon the time that had elapsed between the
investigation and denins Of tho employees
that more than four months had elapsed
before the commissions investigation re-
port reached the president, 90 the men had
no opportunity to make earlier respons
to the charges. Wanamaker further said
be had no disposition to defend these
men. but could not personally investigate
them, and turnod them over to the proper
officers, and was governed by their reports.
Boatner said: IT appears that these par
ties were before tho commission authorized
to make the investigation, and admitted
their guilt, but the postmaster, whoae duty
it was to dismiss them, took no action, and
whsn the matter came to you (Wanamaker),
parties you instituted another investiRa-
ton for the purpose of enabling the people
to deny what they had already admitted"
The postmaster general moved bis hand
in rsmonstrance while tn. question was
being put and then replied
II respectfully protest against the stat
ment that that an investigation was insti-
tuted for the purpose of having the mon
deny the charges. 1t is not the truth,
Raines requested that the postmaster GEN
eral be permitted to proceed with the state
lnent he had prepared but Boatner insisted
that the committee wanted Light upon the
point he suggested. He wished to know
why the postmaster general department.
ignored the Recommendations of the COM
mission and accepted the statments Of men
made In exonerating themselves az havi ne
greater weight than tho statements they
made inculpating themselves. The post
master general quietly remarked that he
had no information on the subject that hs
was not willing and anxious to lay before
the committee, but denied the truth Of the
statefgent thas any attempt was made to
shield the men, or any unusal course pur-
sued.
During the Raum investigation to-day,
Rayburn, member of the hoard who ex-
amined the record in the claim of w. w.
Dudley, said there did not appear to be any
recent medical evidence on file in the case
upon which the last certificate was Issued.
Dr. Ingrahan, medical referee Of the bureau,
also examined the record and found no
sufficient medical evidence. He did not
think the case took the usual course through
the office. The claim was allowed during
the time Tanner was commissioner. There
was slip in tho record. it not stating the
