INSPECTOR MAYER
SHIFTED TOST. LOUIS
Change Not Caused by United
Wireless Raid.

Post-ofice Inspector Mayer, Of New
York, is to be transferred TO st. Louis.
and Inspector Dickson, Of St. Louis, is
to be brought to New York.
This change viii go into effect on.July
!. and was decided upon BY the officials
OF the Post-office department a good
while ago. 1t is not due in any way to
recent developments in New York in re-
gard to the United Wireless Company.
Inspector Mayer is being transferB&d
from the New York Office because the
department officials believe that the
change viii result IN putting more en-
ergy into that Office
1t developed here yesterday that the
recent raid upon the United Wireless was
not the work of Inspector Mayer and
his assistants The case against the
United Wireless Company has been
hanging fire IN the New York Office since
1907, and recently Postmaster General
Hitchcock became dissatisfied with the
way things were moving and sent the
chief inspector at Washington and four
Of the best men in the service on the
case, and they cleaned it UP in three
weeks
The men who turned the trick were
Chief Inspector Sharp, of Washington,
and Inspectors Keene, Of Washington,
Birdseye, of Cincinnati, Simmons, of 81.
Paul, and Greenaway, of Chattanooga.
The transfer Of Inspector Mayer had
been ordered, however, some time before
the United Wireless case became acute
incidentally, this United Wireless case
is only one OF a number of big cases in
several sections Of the country that have
been slumbering for varying periods.

TAFT BILL HALTED.
Senate Adds $S0,000,O 900 Bond Issue
for Reclamation Work

The withdrawal bill which the admin
istration got through the Senate wednes-
day and which it was predicted might go
TO conference at once. ran into a snag
yesterday that may delay its enactment
into law.
The Senate, tackled onto the withdrawal
bill a provision for appropriattng a $50.
100000 bond issue for reclamation work.
The conservation bill which has passed
the House has no provision IN IT, and no
agreement could be reached under the
rules on this clause in conference
The House, il was said, must take up
the bond issue proposition separately

White had a long conference with
Post-ofiiee Inspector Mayer, who has
been working up the case against the
officers Of the two companies. He has
been giving information TO the govern

Cause of Stock Advance.
AT intervals the market value of the
stock was advanced. but this was thor
oughly known and justified in view OF !
The increase of business. II isn't true. as |
accredited TO Mr.. Mayer. that while the /
inside officers OF the company were priyl- |
eyed to sell their stock, all Of the out

At the old Masonic Temple last evening
large and enthusiastic audience of gov
ernment employees. called by the -Busi-
ness Mems Association, listened to able
and earnest speakers who favored the
provision of a retirement fund for aged
clerks and who also ardently advocated
an iacresse in salaries. Resolutions
were presented to the audience which
this morning VIII be submitted 70 Con-
gIess through Senator Cummins, of Iowa.
There was one big laugh at the meet
ing. and that was when the Hon John

evening, who spoke strongly and earnest
~, paused for a drink of water and
with the glass in his hand continued his
speech with:
Burst of Applause.
Gentlemen, there is nothing more dis
tasteful" It was the burst OF ap-
plause and laughter that apprised him Of
the mistaken significance his auditors had
attached TO what he had said.
The meeting was a crowded one and
the hall was decorated with many flags
and a section of the Marine Band fur
nished music. The audience was entire
ly composed of civil service employees, and
the preponderance Of aged men and wom-
en- was marked. Grizzled boards and sill

figures bent with years were everywhere
