PRESIDENT TO MAKE STATEMENT
Hopes 10 Forestan Investigation Of Postal
Scandals by Congress.

WARRINGTON, Oct ?l.-President Roose-
welt will soon issue public statement on
the postal frauds, and leading members
OF the Administration believe that this
statement will. incidentally, forestal an
investigation Of the Post Office cases by Com
gress. lfhis statement accomplishes all that
the President and the Postmaster General
expect OF 1t, no popular support will be
found for any demand for an inquiry by
Congress, The members Of the Adm in
istration say they do not fear Congress
investigation. but they deprecate it as
unnecessary and calculated TO prolong an
unfortunate scandal. The courts, they
believe, are competent, with the evidence
already in hand, to punish every guilty
person. This will be made clear in the
Presidents statement to the public.
1t is stated on high authority that the
investigation by Holmes Conrad and Charles
J. Bonaparte brought forth nothing which
could cause any difference of opinion be-
tween the President and Post mast err General
Payne. An effort has been made to have
it appear that certain recommendations
made by Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte
are displeasing to Mr.. Payne, and that il
these recommendations should be received
favorably by the President MIR, Payne
would he placed in an awkward position.
One Of these statements WIS that the dis
missal Of Postmaster Merritt OF the Wash
ington post office was recommended by
the Government special Investigators.
The fact is there is no mention Of Post
master Merritt in the Bristow report, which
includes the results Of the Conrad Bona
parte inquiry.
Another story was that Secretary Shaw
and the President are at outs over the
findings of Conrad and Bonaparte against
Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell,
who. the investigators charged, had i'm
properly approved certain postal accounts
BY high authority to-day this story was
nailed as lie. The President accepts Mr..
Shaw s view that Mr. Tracewell is an efficient
and conscientious officer, and tho Comp
troller will not be disturbed. 1t is not de-
MED however, that the Conrad Bonaparte
