WORK ON DIETRICH REPORT.

ing the Findings Of Committee.
WASHINGTON Senator Plat of
Connecticut began writing his report
Of the Dietrich case Friday. While
he report has ben discounted in view
Of the evidence brought out at the
trial of the case, interest, however,
centers in the wording of the docu-
ment. Just how far the committee
will go and whether it will call at
tention to the failure of Summers
to prove by his witnesses things
which he stated that he could prove
Is problematicai. Unquestionably the
verdict will relieve Senator Dietrich
of responsibility, although occasion
may be taken to indicate the commit
Ices views regarding the making or
eases and making OF postmasters as
well. 1t is thought that the commit
zee will have a meeting early next
week to hear Senator Platt's report.
The procedure after the report has
been presented to the senate is the
same as any other report. differing
only in that it is not attached to q
bill, but reports to the senate find
ings of fact, which the senate will
adopt and the Dietrich case will be a
closed incident.
