ly that they should report upon the &C
curacy of the Tulloch charges. 1t is
known that the report did contain two
or three recommendations however, but
these were as to methods and not as to
men.
1t likewise contained several sugges-
tions as to the development Of phases OF
the charges which the attorneys had
been investigating. These suggestions
were under consideration at the confer
ence. Attorneys Bonaparte and Conrad
will, under the presidents orders, con-
tinue the investigations along the lines
of their suggestions. 1t is quite likely
that the future Investigations will re-
late to men as we'll as to methods, but
at this time the names of the men whose
records are to be investigated for obvi-
Gus reasons cannot be disclosed.

these portions contain information that
would be valuable to the attorneys for
the defendants in the post Office cases.
Later on the president will transmit to
congress all reports made to him con-
cerning the postal investigations, that
congress may be fully informed OF the
results achieved by those who have con-
Quoted the investigation.
Those portions of the Conrad-Bona-
parte report to be made public will con-
tain the findings of the attorneys regard
ing persons who have not been indicted,
but whose official actions have been
irregular, if not criminal. 1t has been
discovered by the attorneys that cases
against these persons cannot be made
because Of the statute of limitations.
which bars prosecution at this time.
The punishment of these men, never
theless, will be by publicity, as nothing
relating to them and their offenses, as
discovered by the attorneys. will be
suppressed. In fact, the report goes
fully into all phases of this class of cases.
