Detroit Paper Prints Story Re-
garding Third Assistant
Postmaster General.
MADDEN WANTS INVESTIGATION
Accused Of Letting Contract Without
Permitting OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ter General Asked to Probe Story
and It's Source.

Detroit, June 24-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Edward G. Mad.
den, who is visiting in this city, sent
q letter to Postmaster General Payne
denying that he let contract for car
bon paper for the registry division OF
the postofice without permitting com
petition, and asking the postmaster
general to Immediately investigate
the story and its source. The letter
is as follows:
THE Free Press, of this city, tells
its readers in an article with scare
headlines that Third Assistant Post
master General Madden is to be In
yestigated. 1t alleges that l drew
specifications of contract for supply
ing the department with carbon pa
per and that they were so framed as
to allow no competition The article
makes Mr. Wynne say that he merely
approved as routine matter Ii
gives the impression that the contract
is one over which the third assistant
has control, and there is a broad In
ference that you consider the trans
action corrupt
THE whole statement in so far as
T. attempts to involve me is absolutely
false | had nothing to do with the
details of the contract; | drew no
specifications; | did not initial; | did
not sign; in fact. never saw the con.
tract, if there is one. My sole inter-
est and connection with the subject
is limited to an expression of ap-
prevail of the particular carbon paper
in question, by its labor-saying and in
other ways great improvement over
the old style manifolding process, AMI
much better serves the needs of the
postal service; and this approval was
not given until after an investigation
and recommendation to me by my sli.
perintendent Of registry system and
recommendation by the superin.
tendent of division of postoffice sup
plies of the first assistants office.
The contract-if there be one
was both drawn and let by the Office
OF first assistant postmaster general,
and with it I had absolutely nothing
to do except as before stated. If the
statements printed were given the
Free Press correspondent from the
office of the first or the fourth assist.
ant postmaster general they misrep-
resent the facts, and the publication
thereof, especially in my home city.
is calculated to put me in a bad light
before the people with whom | have
lived for upward OF 40 years and
where have earned what reputation
l have. 1t il malicious, cruel and
without the slightest Justification.
Il know you too well to believe that
you will sanction this attempt to in
volye and besmirch me unjustly, and
| beg you. not only as man to man,
but as a consideration due my office,
to at once institute an investigation
and do what you can to ascertain
whether they are purely an invention
of the writer. I ask that the publica.
ton of the facts be not tardy."

President Roosevelt.

In laying the cornerstone of the
great lava arch, the gateway to Vel
lowstone Park, at Gardiner, on April
"a, 1903, said:
"The Yellowstone Park is something
absolutely unique in this world. No
where else in any civilized country is
there to be found such tract of YER
liable wonderland where at the same
time not only the scenery of wilder
ness, but the wild creatures of the Park
are scrupulously preserved as they
were, the only change being that these
same wild creatures have been 50 care
fully protected as TO show literally
tameness This Park was created
and now is administered for the bene
1T and enjoyment of the people. The
only way that the people as whole
can secure TO themselves and their
children the enjoyment in perpetuity
OF what Yellowstone Park has TO
give is by assuming the ownership in
name OF the nation, and by jealousy
safeguarding and preserving the seen
cry, the forests, and the creatures.
AT present it is rather singular that
greater number Of people come from
Europe than come from our own East
ern States to see it.
