MERRITT SAYS COUNSEL
IGNORED LITTLE REPORT
Otherwise He Is Silent on the Bona
parte Conrad Charges.

City Postmaster Merritt was asked
this morning what he had to say to the
charge Of Messrs. Bonaparte and Con-
rad that he had apparently made no
effort to protest against the irregulari-
ties in the Washington postoffice which
existed when he took charge
1r. Merritt would say nothing except
that when they collected the material
for the comments Messrs. Bonaparte and
Conrad must have overlooked the fact
that in the special report OF Inspector
Little, made July, 1900, when he went
through the office. he says the postmas-
ter complained that he had more clerks
forced on him than he could provide
work for, and that he did not need any
more
Mr. Merritt added that when he went
into Office he dropped those persons who
were on the roll and rendering no ser
vice at all.
