KNOX URGES DELAY in INQUIRY.
Advise Pre.ident As.in.t al Early

Advises President Against an Early
Postal investigation by Congress.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Attorney Cen
eral Knox. who was at the white house
yesterday, in conference with the pres
ident. has advised against an early con-
gressional Investigation of the postof-
fee scandals.
Mr.. Knox is OF the opinion that an
early Investigation would result in dis
closing the governments side In many
..ases in Which Indictments have been
brought. and would do serious harm
to the cause OF the government. The
same witnesses on whom the govern
ment is depending for conviction in
numerous cases would have to be
brought here to testify and compelled
to reveal all the facts in their posses
sion, thus enabling the defense to profit
in veery way
Postmaster General Payne yesterday
submitted to the president the abstract
or brief of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow's report on the postal
investigation.
The supreme court OF the district of
Columbia, has issued six "alias' bench
warrants for the arrest of George w.
Beavers. now in New York. formerly
chief OF the salary and allowance di-
vision Of the postoffice Department. The
action is based on Indictments recently
returned against Beavers by the grand
jury here.

Gus as long livers except In France.

with wood are longer lived than those
