The confirmation Of Mr. Shaw was accomplished
without any comment hut there was some controversy
over the action Of the committee postofdces in re.
porting MI Paynes nomination without going through
the ormaiity of a regular meeting. Senator Rawlins
of Utah stated that he had desired appear before the
committee for the purpose Of requesting that an in
CURRY be instituted into the charge that Mr. Payne
had been Interested in the efforts to secure leases for
the purpose OF prospecting for minerals on the Indian
reservation in Utah Nh Payne having been president
OF the Florence Mining company but Senator Spooner
from Wisconsin. Mr.. Payne'5 own State was able to
the that Nh Faynes connection with the
Florence company had terminated two years ago and
that he longer had any interest that corporation
The comment OF most Of the papers of the country
concerning NIr. Shaw have been favorable. The most
that has been said against him is that as president Of
two Iowa banks, he made money by usury and the
Detroit News expressed the opinion that his training
in finance has hardly been sufficient to warrant the
appointment.
