WASHINGTON, March THE names of
Representatives Charles b. Landis. Hemen-
way, Crumpacker, Watson. Overstreet,
Cromer and Brick and former Representa-
tive Steele are mentioned in the supple
mental report filed with the House to-day
by Chairman Overstreet, of the committee
on postoffices. This report contains the
names of senators and representatives on
whose recommendations allowances for
clerk hire, fuel and light were granted. The
names of about two hundred members are
given in the report. There is no reflection
on the integrity of any one. No violations
of law are disclosed, and the only matter
opened in the criticism is the fact that In
few instances the department regulations
governing allowances were evaded by
Beavers, former chief of the division of sal
aries and allowances. But these are only
scattered instances, and the excess allow
ances amount to only few dollars year
in any State.
Fifty-seven postoffices in Indiana are
enumerated in the report where allowances
for clerk hire were made on the recon-
mendation of either the senators or rep
sentatives from the State In only six
cases were excess allowances made. rang
ing from $50 to $50 a year. Recommends
tions were made in about a dozen cases
by Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge but in
none of them was an allowance made in
excess of that authorized by the regula-
tions. The report also shows that leases
of premises in twelve Indiana cities were
made on the recommendation of representa-
tives in Congress.
The report submitted to the House to-day
was in response to resolution introduced
by Representative Hay, a Democrat, from
Virginia. The effort thus made TO secure
political capital has signally failed. Ii is
disclosed, and this fact has been known
here for years, that il is the common prac-
tice and custom for members TO look out
for the department business for the post
masters in their districts. In the report
