AN ENDLESS TASK.
WPork of investigating Postal Depart
ment Piles Up Rapidly.


ment Piles Up Rapidly.
Washington, April f4.-The postof-
fee department has received COM
plant from wagon firm in Peoria
that wagonmakers in Indiana receive
advance information regarding new
rural free delivery routes which are
to be opened in Illinois, and that as a
result the mail wagons are as a rule
sold before the carriers are appointed.
This complaint will be investigated
by Gen. Bristow, but it is like many
other complaints from business men
who have failed to secure contracts,
and 1t viii be difficult to show that
there has been any corruption. The
carriers are not likely to purchase
mail wagons until they know they are
to be appointed, whatever the advance
information the Indiana firms may
have. The rural free delivery office
issued a daily bulletin giving the
routes as they are determined on and
when the service is to begin. These
notices are from thirty TO sixty days
lin advance of the establishment Of the
service. Such complaints are coming
from all parts of the country and they
are increasing the work in connection
with the investigation so that it can
not be completed for several months.
Gen. Bristow now has score of post
Office inspectors at work investigating
complaints, and these are coming in
faster than they can be disposed of.
The sensational reports as to reyela-
lions are not justified, for revelations
there have been few, while complaints
are so many and some of them SO
trivial as to make the work Of investi.
cation almost endless.
