Washington Excited Over Bona
parties Postal Fraud Report.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-Interest in the
postal scandal has been. revived by
the publication of the report Of Messrs.
Charles j. Bonaparte and Holmes Con-
rad to the president, as well as the ex-
purgated report Of Mr.. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general These
reports, heretofore held secret, were
given out on the action of the house
committee on postofiices and post
roads.
Washington gossips are busy discuss
ing the additional disclosures, which
reflect mainly upon Perry S. Heath and
George w. Beavers
In their report on the Tulloch charges
Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad find that
they revealed deplorable and gravely
discreditable abuses, for which those
primarily responsible are former As
sistant Postmaster General Perry S.
Heath and George w. Beavers. They
classify former Postmaster General
Smith, former Postmaster Willett of
Washington, Postmaster Merritt Of
Washington, Comptroller r. J. Trace
wen and Auditor Castle as sharing in
some measure in the responsibility.
The report also condemns representa-.
tiyes for interfering and raising rentals
in postoftice leases, though no names
are mentioned
''The 'Tulloch charges have never
been, properly speaking, investigated
at ALL" says the report 1--WE have been
repeatedly confronted I'm our inquiry
with an assertion on the one side and
a denial on the other as to question
Of fact, with no sufficient means at oul
command to determine which state
