WYNNE IS IMPLICATED
Charges to Be Lodged With the
President on His Return to
A.. Washington.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. .-,
Washington, April 30.-From inside
sources at the. postoffice department 1T is
learned that as soon as President Roose-
welt returns, early in June. charges will
be filed with him against First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne. Wynne's en-
emies in the. department, who accuse him
of instigating the investigation that is now
going on. have not changed their 1nten-
ton to GUST him If possible. but have
thought it the part Of wisdom to wait
until the president returns before max
ing an active and open fight.
The charges against Wynne will con
tain two principal allegations-one to the
effect that he has been talking too freely
and the other charging him with nepotism
The first assistant postmaster general is
blamed for a free use of his tongue lr
spreading the scandals of the department.
and 'it will be represented to the presl-
dent that nearly all Of the ugly stories
that have been published about the lr'
Irregularities in the department have beer
inspired by Wynne.
The latest Development in the postoff1ce
department investigation is the discovery
| of extreme looseness and lrregularlty, II
assigning employees to work of an entirely
| different character from that which they
were appointed to perform and for Which
they are being paid. There Is every rea
son to believe that this scandal is far
reaching in the. department. How many
employes are involved cannot now be
learned but it is believed that they art
| numerous.
