An Alleged Promotion Syndicate.

New York, April 14.-No arrests
have as yet been made as a result of
the investigation said to be in progress
OF the charges that an alleged promo
ton syndicate had been operating to
secure payment from employees of the
New York postoffice for increase in
salaries. Postmaster Van Colt said
that he had heard nothing official from
Washington as yet concerning the al
legged postofice scandals. He is still
loath to believe that any such alleged
syndicate could operate in the New
York postoffice without his knowledge
and he cannot see by what agreement
the men were induced to part with
their money, If such We're really the
case.
1t was said at the postoffice that the
alleged syndicate" could have oper-
ated from Washington, provided II
could see the records of the salary and
allowance division, and its agents could
probably have secured considerable
money from those who had been recon-
mended by the postmaster.
