shavv's Portfolio.
 Washington, Aug, Especial J. John w Yerkes, of Kentucky, com missioner of internal revenue has made so popular an officer of the gov ernment in the difficult task of the service that he has been urged sever al times as proper representative of best class of Republicans of the South in the cabinet.
 It Is now being urged here that the choice of MT. Yerkes to succeed Secre- tary Shaw in the Treasury Department would greatly strengthen the party in the event the President wishes to take a hand in the selection of his successor at the White House.
 The relinquishment by Elihu Root upon which the President lavishes some of his warmest affections for his friends of a rich income from his law practice to go back into the cabinet is taken to mean that the new 6ecre- tary of State likes pofItics still and that he is ambitious to get it's high est honor With this comes the talk of Yerkes for Secretary of the Treas ury.

Yet. no more effective regulation has
ever been passed than that which went

they have been after any previous snow

Those who could hire men to shovel
the snow away did so. while those who
could not. got out al / went to work
themselves.
Across from the Census Office, on
First street northwest, two women were
hard at work at o'clock this morning.

school.
On the street ears one heard no other

grumbling apprehensively for fear they
would be fined for not having the snow

Commissioners and gazing with JOY at

Padded His Receipts;
Must Repay Uncle Sam
ComptroIIer's Decision in Case OF Postmaster
Burrows a Setback for Practice OF In
fIating Postal Returns.

and between April /. 1902, and September
80, 1904. his salary was increased $780,
and he was allowed $425 for an assist
ant ssssztsnasteP and clerk hire. This
Iies Auditor for the Postoff1ce Depart
ment charged him with as due 10 the
Government.
According to the inspectors reports
Burrows filed orders for New York con-
Germs for return postal cards and paid
for the printing out of his own pocket,
and supplied large orders for stamps
from adjoining towns and cities, some
times at his own expense and again at
the Government The Postoffice De-
sale of postal matter. 1t matters not
where a man sells his stamps, postal
cards, etc, just so it is done in good
faith. But it was charged that Bur
rows solicited a large part of these
sales, and in the majority of cases stood
for the expense himself.
Comptroller's Decision.
The Comptroller held that the Auditor
was justified IN charging Burrows with
the amounts paid TO him as salary, but
that he had erred in charging the post
master with the amounts paid to the
assistant postmaster and clerks. The
Comptroller held that this was a loss
coming under the head of ''consequen-
tiaI losses " as ii had been concurred in
10y the Postmaster General and the First
Assistant Postmaster General,
He therefore decided that Burrows
was In debt to the Government, but S575
instead of 1915.
