Of President Roosevelt. q thorough in.
vestigation has been made into the

Mr.. Tulloch. Mr.. Bristow's report.
Mr.. Conrad said, was simply a collec.
ton of the facts in the case as re-
ported by postofflce inspectors and
contained no opinions as to the merits
OF the charges. The investigation
made by Msssrs. Bonaparte and Con-
rad will go into the merits OF the
charges and viii express an opinion as
to whether or not the accused per
sons are vindlcated or are guilty OF
the offenses charged against them.
The conclusions drawn from their In
duiry will be embodied in a report
which will be submitted to the attor.
ney general Whether or not this 70
port will be made public, Mr.. Conrad
could not say. as that matter rested
with the officials OF the administra-
ton. No prosecutions will follow from
any conclusions the report may draw,
as the offenses. II any have been com
mitted. are barred by the statute Of
limitations
The president, said Mr. Conrad, was
very anxious that the whole matter
should be gone over very carefully, SC
that If persons named in the charges
of Mr. Tulloch were not guilty they
should be vipdicated. and if they were

Their duty had been % act in the ca

but an honest effort to get at the facts
IN the case, both Democrats and Re
publicans being involved in tho
charges. The president was anxious

and any criticism. credit or blame aris
ing from the inquiry would be borne
