NO POSTAL INQUIRY.
But a Senate Committee Nay Hear
CHARGES Democrats Haze to Offer.
lrRosr THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, April 13.-There will be no gen
eral investigation Of the Postoffice Department
by a committee Of the Senate even II the Senate
provides the machinery for such investigation.
The publication Of the fact that the Senate
Committee on Postofices and Postroads was
considering such plan has resulted in general
discussion Of the subject by the Senate leaders
to-day, and the purely tentative plans Of that
committee have now taken more definite form.
1t is proposed by Senator Penrose, chairman Of
the committee that a substitute for the several
investigation resolutions TOW before his com
mittee be reported to the Senate before adjourn
ment that this substitute shall authorize the
committee to hear any specific charges which
the Democrats have to offer, and 10 sit IN the
recess Of Congress, and to investigate any such
charges which. in the opinion Of the committee,
have not already been probed and are of suhi-
cient Importance to warrant investigation. This
plan is heartily favored by Senators Aldrich,
Lodge and Burrows, as well as by Senator Pen
rose.
Aside from the Senators named practically
every Republican member Of the Senate re-
CARDS the Penrose plan with misgivings. They
point out that II has been amply demonstrated
that no further investigation Of the Postoff!ce
Department IS needed for the good of the SER
vice and that the Democratic arguments I'm its
favor have borne unmistakable evidence Of a
frantic desire to create that political capltai OF
which they are sOrely in need.
While there is not much likelihood that the
Democrats could find any specific charges to
present to the committee they might find some
ground which TO base charges, even though
they proved on investigation to ne groundleSS.
and such investigation would not only prove
needless expense 10 the government but would
afford some groundwork on which TO pase
sensational reports which. regardless of their
falsity. would prove the chief stock in trade OF
Democratic speakers in the coming campaign.
There is moreover a strong sentiment that
further investigation of the Postof1ce Depart
ment in addition 10 being a recognition OF Dem
ocratic demagogy would be a reflection on the
Investigation conducted by the Postmaster Cen
eral. under the direction Of the President. last
summer and this view is entertained by the ad-
ministratiOn.
No action can be taken by the Committee on
Postofices and Post Roads before next Wednes-
day, and it is probable that in the interval the
majority Will have arrived at some unanimous
conclusion as to the wisest course TO pursue.

PARKER BOOM GOES WEST

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE.
Thinks Postal Inquiry Needless, but
Would Not Oppose 1t.
By The Associated Press

Washington. April 13.-President Roosevelt
had a conference to-day with Senator Penrose,
chairman OF the Committee Post Offices and
Post Roads. and one with Senator Aldrich. the
Republican floor leader Of the Senate. Both in
terviews related TO the proposition that the Sen
ate provide for an investigation Of the affairs
Of the POstoffice Department. The President
maintains the same position now that he has
held from the inception OF the troubles in the
department-that the department must be
purged Of all suspicion. He believes that the
investigation conducted by the department OFF,
Gals themselves was thorough and searching.
and that any further investigation by COM
mittee Of Congress or by a commission from the
outside covering the same ground would be
practically fruitless. but he is not inclined to
stand In the way OF further inquiry.
Representative Mccall, of Massachusetts,
chairman OF the special committee which con-
Quoted the investigation OF postoffice affairs so
far as members Of the House were concerned,
had a talk to-day with the President regarding
the report made by the committee to the House
yesterday Mr. Mccall said he regarded the
conclusions Of the committee as temperate and
fair

RIVAL PARADES.
Parker and Hearst Boomers to March
Through Albany on Convention Day.
IBY EGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUEEl
Albany, April 13-Local politicians OF every fIk
are greatly amused the display OF Democratic
harmony promised for convention day next Mon
day The local Democratic organization OF Albany
County. eager to impress the State delegations
with the harmony supposed to exist In this
county, announced to-day that there would be a
parade OF the city Democrats before the conven-
ton. Hard this announcement came another
from the organization supporting Congressman
William r. Hearst in this county that they also
would parade. The Hearst people have clubs in
Cohoes Schenectady Watervdiet. Sandy HILL Fort
Edward and Gens Falls, and all will Eend pa
raiders to swell the Hearst ranks.
As q result. the Hill organization with one band
is to march down the main thorouGhfare shouting
for Parker, and the Hearst organization Will
march over the ground at about the same
time shouting for their candidate. Hearst boomer
naively described the purpose tonight follows:
The Hearst men will not interfere with any
other parade We all too good Democrats, and
we won't interfere with Mr.. Hills men. We will
simply divide the honors. All good Democrats will
join In promoting enthusiasm.
The Hearst boom in this city ia actively anoat,
and from their headquarters near the convention
hall the friends OF the Congressman are issuing
Hearst manifestoes. Local gossip attaches an un-
happy significance to the choice of headquarters
The building occupied by the Hearst boomers has
q record that is furnishing amusement. Every
tenant Of this building in the last few years. as
the story goes, has died within q brief period
after starting business at this stand. Local au-
thorities wondering whether the present tenant
will break the "hOodoo" seemingly existing.

KNOWS B4TTLE Is OYER
But Murphy YIN Fight On, Friends
Say-DOgIe Denies He Sold Ont.

Although the McCarren success in the caucus OF
the Kings County delegates to the State Convention
was unanswerable Charles F. Murphy is keeping on
with his plans for the convention. He intends to
oppose the sending Of instructed delegation TO
St Louis Just as when he returned from Atlantic
City. but his friends say that he knows he Will
probably not be able to out his wishes. With
the Kings County delegation voting unit. the
Tammany leader will i'm all probability have not
more than hundred and twenty hundred and
. thirty votes.
Mr. Murphy was not at Tammany Hall yester-
day. The Hail. In fact. looked rather desoate. He
was also not at his club. the Anawanda, but last
night was a his home preparing plans for the dis
trict conventions TO elect delegates 20 the State
Convention. At these conventions. to be held to-
morrow night, Tammany will send her best John
6. Carlisle will probably be one of the delegates.
Daniel s Lamont is likely to 90 from the NXINth.
Charles A. Towne and Congressman Cochran Will
be sent from the XXVIIth. according to the pres
ent plans Of course Mr.. Murphy himself VIII go.
Ashbel p Fitch is another well known Democrat
who will probably be sent. Mayor Mcclellan. whose
name has been mentioned. will not 20.
Senator McCarren went TO Albany yesterday
morning without saying anything about his victory
at the caucus. William a. Doyle Deputy Fire
Commissioner. however had lots 20 say. He in
dignantly denied charges that he had sold out the
fight to the Brooklyn leader. He did the best he
could, he declared. but Oyerpowered. As TO
boiling the caucus. he never had and didn't expect
TO begin. He had no agreement with MIR. Murphy
on that point
Mr.. Doyle Issued a statement explaining his atu-
tude. part OF which read:
Acting with Mr.. Murphy. and coinciding in his
views that the welfare OF the Democratic party in
this State would be best subserved by the adoption
of resolutions against instructions here did all

weaker than those who opposed US we accepted, as
We have always DONE the verdict OF the majority.
