George W Beavers. the former post Office
onacjal who was indicted in July in Brooklyn
for bribery in connection with the purchase
n, post Office supplies from the E. j. Brandt
Dent Company, IL to appear again this
morning in the Federal Building. this time
in answer to a new warrant sworn out In
Washington.
This warrant IL based on m indictment
handed down by the Federal Grand Jury
a that city on Tuesday. 1t ID said to charge
1,avers with similar offence. but in con-
nection with another oonoern furnishing
the Post Office Department with supplies.
A certified copy Of the warrant was
brought here yesterday from Washing ton
by Post Office Inspectors Whalen and
Birdseye, and was handed to Assistant
District Attorney Wise
LAWYER Seabury OF Morgan 4 Seabury,
counsel for Beavers, was notified OF the new
warrant for his client, and he had long
consultation with Mr. Wise. Mr.. Seabury
said later that he did not know the nature
of the new charge against Beavers, but
that the latter would certainly surrender
himself to United States Marshal Henkel
at $50 o'clock this morning. He will be
arraigned before one Of the Commissioners
and admitted to bail. Mr.. Seabury said
that the new charge against Beavers was
complete surprise to him.
I'VE shall insist on our rights in this new
case. said he "as we did in the case Of the
BROOKLYN indictment. We shall demand
ar examination here. Mr., Beavers will
not go to Washington of his own accord
any more than he went to Brooklyn; at least
not until il is known what evidence there is
against him..
The Indictment handed down in Wash
hgton is said to have grown out OF the in
vestigation post office inspectors have been
making of the International Time Record.
ing Company OF Binghamton, n. Y, and
the Doremus Canceling Machine Company
Of Washington, d. {.
Six indictments were handed down at
the same time, including the one against
Beavers Against whom the other lndict-
ments are the post Office authorities here
we're as reticent yesterday as those in
Washington have been:
1t was learned at the Federal Building
that there is a likelihood that the develop
ments growing out OF the investigation
OF the transactions between the two
concerns mentioned and the Government
will be even more surprising than those
regarding the Brandt-Dent Company,
which led to the arrest of ex-Congressman
briggs and of Beavers
The man who has been mentioned in
Washington as being as we'll known as
the Post master General himself. it is un-
derstood, is connected with the 1nterna-
tional Time Recording Company. This
man is a prominent politician and his con-
nection with the company at the time the
purchases we're made is still under investi-
CATION. A State Senator also is mentioned
as being involved in this investigation.
The International Time Recording Com
pany is an amalgamation of several con-
Germs which made recording clocks. Many
politicians of this State and prominent
Binghamton people have been connected
with it. Its clocks were bought by the
Of which Beavers had charge about two
years ago. They cost about $3.50 apiece,
and were installed in offices all over the
country. even where the force OF men
was not over two or three.
The clock has not saved any time or
labor, as its figures had to be recorded
by time clerk, but the advantage was
claimed for it that 1t absolutely prevented
fraud.
The Doremus canceling machines were
purchased about the same time They
cost 1925 apiece. although the cost to make
them was small.
A lot of comment was caused when the
machines we're bought, for the reason that
the Government had been appropriating
SIPS 600 year to pay for the rental Of other
machines. The Doremus company sue
ceeded in getting it's machines bought out
right until almost every post office was
supplied with one.
The investigation now being made, and
with which. it is said, the whole post office
Investigation will end. is understood to
be almost wholly in regard to these two
concerns.
Post ONCE inspectors Mckee and Holmes,
who are working solely on this part Of the
Investigation. left New York suddenly
Yesterday TO go UP the State. inspectors
swarmed all over the Federal Building
yesterday and had frequent conferences
with Assistant District Attorney Wise.
1t was said around the building that In
tsresting developments might be expected
hero within the next week.
