he published the charge in good faith,
and wanted to do no man any tnjus-
tice. He introduced no deposition, but
outlined at length reports he had
heard and read. He said there was
no malice in the charge.
Col. Roosevelt told the court he dfd
mot enter the case for money, and
with no vindictfve purpose. He made
his reputation the issue because he
wished once for all to deal with the
ISLANDERS so as to make it impossible
for any man in good faith. to repeat
them. He said tI have achieved my
whole purpose and am content" Col.

! Washington, May 31.-Postmaster
General Burleson in report today
charged that Frank H Hitchcock his
predecessor, under Taft, with making
misleading reports. involving almost a
million dollars; allowing vacancies to
go untitled and injuring the service.
| He declares Hitchcock made a deficit
| of S750,00O appear to be a surplus Of
| two hundred thousand
Mr.. Hitchcock, during his admins
| tration and in his reports, claimed that
| in the year 1909 a deficiency of ap-
proximately S17,500,000 had entirely
been elimina ted, and that in the hsca!
year 1911 a surplus of more than $780,
600 was attained.
NO LEGITIMATE SURPLUS.
The report of the survey made at
the direction of Mr.. Burleson says that
at no time has there been legitima te
surplus in postal revenues since 1888
and that the postoff1ce department
in 1911 actually was under a deficit of
more than $3.50, 900. In that connection
the report says:
FIt is pointed out by the committee
that the published financial reports of
the department stated the revenues

Revenues of the postal service are al
most entirely collected in cash and con-
sequentIy relate properly to the fiscal

the committee finds 1t has been the
practice to compare these only with
payments actually made during the fis-s
cal year, regardless of obligations in
CURED in that year but not to be paid
until succeeding years
Just before President Wilson took
office, the report says, Mr.. Hitchcock
filed long standing vacancies. made
postponed promotions and assumed
commitments to fixed charges for long
terms in such a way "as to saddle the
new administration with the greatly
increased expense, during months, IL
not years, to come. More than one
hundred rural mail routes were author
ized in three days
The fiscal statement of the postal
service for 1912 purported to show a
deficit of S1,7S5, 52S, but that sum, the
Investigators say, was understated by
nearly 100000
Delay of promotions and filling Of
vacancies that lapsed salaries might be
returned TO the treasury, the report
says, caused dissatisfaction among en-
ployes and lowered the standard of
their efficiency. Employees were trans |
ferred from other departments to the |
postal service, it is charged, at salaries |
in excess of the entrance grade" and /
many certificati tions to the civil service |
