tlonal Committee secretaryship.
Washington, June 20.-It is conf
IDENTIFY predicted in Washington that
because of the postal scandals Perry
S. Heath will not retain his present
place Of Fecretary Of the Republican
national committee.
It is said that, regardless Of the ac-
curacy of the inferences which may
be drawn from the Bristow reply, the
unfortunate light in which Mr. Heath
has been placed will prevent his be-
ing reelected to his present post. On
the other hand. it is authoritatively
stated that there will be no prosecu-
ton Of Heath. as nothing of a criminal
nature has been disclosed in his rec
ord, and the irregularities charged to
him do not warrant any action in the
case of a man who is no longer an
employe of the government.
