lance
Monday New York World has the fol
lowing:
1T was said last night that arrests will
be made today in connection with the New
York postoffice scandals and it was as
serted that the Federal grand jury, which
meets Tuesday viii develop some sensa-
tional surprises.
Regarding the progress Of the investiga-
ton in other directions. she World says:
THE investigation resulted Sunday in the
discovery that Richard Van Colt, son of
postmaster, is not the only one Of the
family who holds a good position in the
postoffice. Richard Van Colts, brother
in-law, Dr. w. H. Richardson, has been
physician and surgeon to the New York
pOstoffice since 1899. 1t was great sur
prise to the general public to learn at the
first revelations OF the postal scandals that
there was such an official as surgeon and
physician in the department. and it was
not known outside of the postoffice until
yesterday that the New York office had
one.
DIR. Richardson has been a practicing
physician in New York for many years.
His sister is the wife of Richard Van Colt,
whose position as superintendent, of city
delivery has got his father, the postmas-
ter, into an embarrassing position. DR..
Richardson draws salary Of only S1,700
a year, but he has no duties except when
one Of the employees is sick. He visits the
sick employees and reports as to whether
they are really sick. Postmaster Van Colt
said he did not make the appointment of
his sons brother-in-law, but that it was
made in Washington.
Several Of the postoffice inspectors de-
voted their attention to an investigation
of the so.called promotion syndicate,
which, it is alleged, promoted clerks ON
the receipt of sums ranging from $50 to
800"

claim to half million acres of
land in the northern part of

name of the state of Minnesota.
At present they are a part of
the Chippewa Indian reserva-
ton, which was created in 1868,
but Mr.. Iverson claims them to
be state land under the swamp
land grant of 1860, If they
come into possession of the
state, they can be drained by
the state, and made to be worth
from $15 to $50 per acre, and
thus bring a large revenue to
the state, The auditor is also
claiming for the state, mineral
