Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The follow
ing special dispatch from Raleigh. N e.
was published in the Post this morning:
Senator Fairbanks, whose presidential
boom is being talked of in this section,
passed through this city last night on MS
way south and was met by Roscoe Mltcn,
ell, his North Carolina manager, "ho hoo
a talk with him."
AS Senator Fairbanks was in Indianap-
oils on Sunday. the statement that he met
Mitchell is a patent canard. Mitchell, 1T Is
understood, made advances TO the Indiana
senator while in Washington. some days
ago. but it is stated by an Indiana man
close to the senator that the latter Wouio
have nothing to do with Mitchell.
(Senator Fairbanks arrived in Indianap-
oils on Sunday and at the time the WASH
ington paper printed the foregoing story
was receiving friends at his own home. IL
seems pretty certain that the usually SUI c ar

In conducting his Investigations into
charges made against the division OF which
General Tyner, of Peru, Ind. is the head'
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General BITS
tow has discovered one obstacle In the way
of a speedy conclusion Of the case. For
many years the department has regularly
asked Congress for an appropriation to
cover the cost of printing the decisions OF
the department. The request has been per-
sistently denied, and there Is no record or
these decisions, except In the files or the
Office and even there they are not classif1ed
or indexed. 1t will be necessary TO make
an examination of thousands of letters and
opinions touching on different phases OF the
case. and General Bristow may not be able
to make a report ior severai moh idaca die
covered so far in the investigation has just
been received from ST. Louis. 1t Is the
5000 receipt which has been talked ABOUT
signed by Harrison j. Barrett, former as
sistant TO General Tyner. AS the fee was
received by Barrett after he had severed
his connection with the department, the re-
ceipt of the check hardly will have any
weight unless 1t can be shown there was
collision between Barrett and some Of the
department officials.

Nay, Edgar Malick, Lee Galloway and w.
