examination Another report that the IN
spectors and their stenographer did not agree on
an answer made by the Postmaster 70 a question
put 20 him Tuesday afternoon by Inspector Little
and that they had called TO get him to tell wha.
his exact answer had been Neither the inspec-
tors nor Mr.. Van Colt would tell the business that

that the inspectors called to get some figures
promised by the Postmaster concerning some OF
the payments made by him under the direct orders
OF George W Beavers. then the Superint endent OF
the Salaries and Allowances Division.
Nothing would induce Postmaster Van Cott yes

lions asked him by the Inspectors. He even re-
fused to tell whether the published reports OF the
examination were correct not. The Postmaster
smiled cOmpacently whenever he was asked about
the affair, and IL was more than evident from his
actions that his recolleCJiOnS OF the eXaniua ton
were far from unpleasant
