SAYS SHAW MAY RESIGN.
Washington Correspondent Intimates
That Presden and Shaw Have
Quarreled.

Chicago, Oct. ia Washington
special to the Inter-Ocean says: A
open rupture between President Roose
welt and Secretary of the Treasur
Shaw is threatened as a result of tn
| investigation into postal scandals. Tn
president and secretary have clashe,
over the demand of the chief execu
/ tive for the resignation of Comptrolle
| Tracewell and the secretary may leav,
the cabinet if the demand is insisted
upon.
| The failure of the government tt
make a case against Daniel V. Miller
who was one of the assistant attorney
for the posto1flce department, and CON
Wet him Of conspiracy, is a sore dis
appointment to the president anG
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Genera
Bristow. Miller was charged with con-
spring to grant favorable opinions &c
the turf exchange men, and the case
against him was to establish the reign
of corruption in the Office of the attorl
ney general FOR the postoffice depart
ment.
The failure to convict Miller and
Johns has weakened the force of GEN
eral Bristows report before it is made
public, and it is regarded by some
members of the presidents cabinet as
Ia failure of the drag-net policy fol-
lowed by General Bristow and the post
Office inspectors, who have gathered
in more indictments than they can
make good with convictions.
The cabinet has not been unit in
supporting the president in his meth
DDS of reforming the postotfice depart
ment. Several members have almost
openly criticised the drag-net policy
which has involved men who were only
accused of irregularities with others
are known to have been criminal in
their conduct of public affairs.
Some of the older members OF the
cabinet defend General Tyner, the as
sistant attorney general of the postof-
flee department, and condemn the
methods employed to secure indiet-
ments against him. They believe Ty
her guiitless of any wrongdoing, tho
there may have been corruption in his
office among his assistants. These
cabinet members regarded the meth
DDS of BriStC,w as wrong in principle
because by his drag net efforts he
has brought scandal very near to some
of themselves, as We'll as many others
who stand high in the counsels of the
party. For instance, in one line of in
vestigation E.ristow developed the fact
that one OF he cabinet members was
interested in property rented by the
postofflce department. the rent of which
had been increased by irregular meth
DDS.
There was no evidence that the cab
met official had any knowledge of the
deal made for his property or that
there was any corruption in that deal,
but he naturally resented a line of in
vestigation which touched him even
remotely Tie evidence in this case
has not been made a part of the rec
ord and no reference to 1t will be made
in Bristow's report, but the inspec-
tors have g,ossiped about it enough
to make members of the cabinet sore
over a policy which subjects them to
such annoyances.
