VIOLATIONS OF STATUTES.
Report Held Some Members to Be Cen.
surable Throughout.

Washington. March Il Another
chapter in the postofice investigation
of last summer was revealed today
when Chairman Overstreet, of the
house committee on postoffices and post
roads laid before the house OF repre-
sentatives closely printed document
of 2is pages. recounting the instances
on file in the postoffice department in
which members of the senate and house
of representatives have used their in
fiuence with the officials Of the post
Office department, with more or less
success. to secure increases in salaries
of postmasters, additional clerk hire
and advantageous leases of buildings
for postoffice purposes.
The report is made by the unanimous
vote Of the members of Mr.. Overstreet's
committee, in response to resolution
calling for the information, introduced
by representative Hay, Of Virginia. As
the information accompanies the re-
port, the committee recommends that
the resolution lie on the table. Some
Of the transactions involving members
Of congress, recorded in the report, are
held to be technical violations of the
statutes, others are pronounced by
members who have read the report
as clearly censurable, while in the ma
jority of cases it is held that members
in making their recommendations to |
the department expected nothing not
in harmony with the rules and prac-
tices Of the department. Three cases
are set forth in which members of con-
gress own buildings which are leased
to the government for postofice pur-
