AND BR|STOW
Reindictment of Beavers
Thought to Have Been
Discussed.
CASE TO BE TRIED HERE
Inspectors Again at Work
Sunday, and Believed to
Be on New Track.

There was a series of long confer
ences this morning between Postmaster
General Payne. Fourth Assistant Bris-
tow. and Attorney General Robb, and
much interest was manifested in the re-
suit Of the conferences
No statement coulc 3e obtained from
any of the officials about the subject of
the conferences. but IL was generally
believed around the department that the
reindictment Of George W. Beavers. ex-
superintendent of the division of saIa-
ries and allowances, was the cause OF
the gathering
1t is understood that the department
wishes TO have Beavers indicted by the
Washington grand jury as a matter Of
convenience In handling the case. The
great majority of the witnesses. are To-
Gated In Washington. the records of his
once are here, and the department
heads who worked so hard to expose the
inner workings of the division are To-
Gated in Washington, and from all points
or view II would be most convenient for
the department to have Beavers and as
many OF the other indicted men as pos
sible tried in this city.
Inspectors Again Busy.
Things have been rather quiet around
the department since the big batch OF
indictments last week. but there is rea-
son 10 believe that the investigation ia
none the less active The postofice In
spectors working on the case have re-
sumed their custom of appearing at
their offiee or SEa1 y and working un-
III late In tie afte-soon. ,salie II -ss re-
ported they have struck a new and i'm
portant lead. In the earlier weeks of
the investigation the inspectors were in
the Postoftice Building every Sunday, but
as things became slack they stopped the
practice. and their return TO ii at this
time is naturally exciting comment.
