Vast and Complex.
The work of the investigation is not only
vast but complex as we'll. The gross pos
tai receipts of the government last year
Appropriated IN the neighborhood of sl:D,-
UD,WO and the expenditures exceeded this
amount The affairs of the department
that are under investigat ton in some cases
cover period of ten years. This means
that the accounts and records of tens OF

and clerks in the department.. but post
masters throughout the country-must be
gone over.
acquisitions and all items of expenditures
must be critically examined by the inspec-
tors Vouchers of the different officials
must be examined. The inspectors might
go over thousands of items before finding
anything wrong, and even many more per
haps before finding conditions that would
warrant the recommended ton of arrest
or removal
The inSpectors-there are more than a
score of them engaged in the investigation
are men who are familiar with depart

A Fundamental Principle
The person who commits wrong, a
rule tries to conceal it. This is a funda-
mental principle that detectives have to
consider In Their work. There seemed to
be a general impression, al least outs de
the Post Office Department. that the IN
spectors would have little trouble in
rounding up Beavers, to use an express
sion that obtains among detectives.
Not For four months inspectors have
been labOring constantly the case of
Beavers. and 1t was less than two weeks
ago that they found evidence that would
warrant them in bringing his case to the
attention of federal grand jury.
