GOTO THE BOTTOM
OUR STRENUOUS PRESIDENT SO
' .INSTRUCT8.
FAVORITISM PIAYED STRONGLY
High Salaries', High Prices and Urv
-, needed Supplies Forced Upon
Offlcer8.
Washington, April 8. "Go-to the
bottom,1", we're' the words of President
Uoosovelt Just before his departure,
with Joseph U Bristow, fourth assist-
ant postmaster ' general, who has
chargo of the investigation. As the
result tho entlro postofllcc depart-
ment will bo overhauled, regardless of
the political outcome.
"It is simply a matter of putting tho
postoulce department," said Mr.
Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen-
eral, "on businesslike basis. I do not
see how it can affect party In power,
which is Itself doing the cleaning The
president himself and postmaster gen-
eral have called for this Investigation.
Tho men who are opposing this inves-
tigation have' attempted to make It
appear that there Is a quarrel between
Mr. Payne and myself. On the con-
trary, we are acting in perfect 'har-
mony, and before the postmnster gen
eral left Washington he -gave tho
written order for the Investigation."
A dozen Inspectors are now at work
In various parts of the country.. The
order for the Investigation, signed by
tho postmaster general, applies to the
division of salaries and allowances, at
the head of which was George W. Bea-
ver, recently resigned. Tho division
of postofflco supplies, In charge of Su-
perintendent T. A. W. Louis, who, by
the way, did not object to any Inquiry,
of- which A. W. Machen is general su-
perintendent Correspondence with postmasters
has developed what appears to bo a
scandal in the Bupply division. Many
postmasters have written that unnec-
cessary supplies .have 'been forced on
their offices against their protests.
F. L. Bingham of Philadelphia, de-
clares that there Is colluon between
an official and the local firms, which
have for years been furnishing rub-
ber stamps for the department. Tho
contract amounts to aljout $10,000 each
year. Although Mr. Bingham does
not charge officials with receiving
money, he insists that there is an un-
derstanding with the local firms of
such as excludes all other firms from
receiving consideration in the bids.
In the free delivery division charges
arc made that cheap and inferior
boxes have been substituted for strong
and well constructed boxes on which
ilds were made and accepted. In one
case in a southern state the govern-
ment paid 97c for the painting tho
rural free delivery boxes and tho work
was sublet for 35c. The effort of the
investigators is now to find just who
obtained the difference.
High officials in the department de-
clare that enough is already known
to warrant tho prediction that before
the end comes the scandal will reach
large proportions. In tho division of
accounts it has been .found that spe-
cial accounts in the department have
been customarily audited by "cour-
tesy," that is, they were always1 giv-
en the benefit of the doubt when it
came to a close construction ot the
law. The auditor's office has been in-
structed to scrutinize each item.
Tho present Investigation b,egan in
January. It no sooner became known
that Mr, Wynne Intended to move for
a clearing out of his department than
every possible political Influence was
brought to liear on tho president and
tho postmaster generah Mr, Wynne
himself was threatened with decapita-
tion, and senators and representatives
were frequent visitors at the White
House and tho postmaster general's
office, with demands that the Investi-
gation bo stopped. It was even said
that it would reach officials In the Re-
publican national organization. All
this, however, had no .weight. Mr.
Wynne insists that no man high In
tho councils of the party Is Involved,
and so far as he can learn, the in
vestigation nan only undo officials in
tho department who need to be expos-
ed for tho good of the service. '. '

THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
Running Out at the Bung But Stopping
the Splggot.
Austin, April 8. Tuesday was spent
in further considering whether or not
tho number of employes In tho hoUsc
and scnato should be reduced. The
employes are all on tho "payroll. Tho
maximum economy contemplated
amounted to nbout $1500. It costs $1240
a day to run tho legislature. Two days
have bc6n spent in considering saving
$1500 at an oxpensc of $2480. Tho sen-
ate, with a membership of thirty-two,
has forty-ono employes; tho house,
with a membership of 133, hns forty-
seven employes. There nro not many
members who will seriously contend
that all these' employbs aro necessary.
But no. members. Is willing that his
appointee shall be dismissed,
Tho house had no quorum In tho
morning, and but a baro quorum In tho
afternoon, but could not hold It. Un-
less a few o'f tho absentees show up
hero right away the deal will go off.
With a week of the called session
past, at a cost ot $8080 to tho state,
and with no business done, a good
many members are predicting that
there will be a second called session.
To be more exact, jthey express tho
fear that business will not be finished
nt this session.
There will be a vigorous fight on
portions of tho appropriation bill
whenever it comes out of the commit-
tee rooms and from tho printers,
which will hardly bo before the end (Of
this week.
There are indications that consid-
erable political jockeying will be wit-
nessed. Labor organizations are pro-
testing vigorously because of the pas-
sage of the tnti-trust net, which they
insist hits them; also because ot tho
vetoing of the barber's board bill, tho
switch light bill and the 1 1 to ad-
vance tho salaries of penitentiary
guards. The protests in themselves
might cause no selslc wave, but tho In-
dications are that this constellation
will come in conjunction with one or
more political luminaries, and that,
there may be lively times. -
There seems to bo a disposition not
to rush into the consideration of the
appropriation bill. Some members of
the house express a desire to have tho
governor submit for consideration im-
portant measures which got shut cut
in the regular session, among them
tho uniform textbook bill, the bill pro-
viding for working convicts on pub-
lic roads, the land bill and the anti-
freo pass bill, three of which meas-
ures aro platform demands. Still.
however, tho matters now calendared
aro getting no attention, to say noth-
ing of piling up more grain before a
mill that won't run.
Killing Johnson Grass.
Washington: Tho division of agro-
stology of the. Department of Agricul
ture is continuing its experiments with
regard to tho extermination of Johnson
grass on a larger scale than every.
Tho chief agrostologist says tho grass
can bo killed out with reasonable ef-
fort everywhere, and that many farm-
ers of Texas aro doing it right along.
He says, however, that quite a number
of people insist that it can not bo kill-
ed and make no effort to do so. Any
Texas , farmer who wants to extermi-
nate tho Johnson grass can learn how
byv writing to tho Department of Agri-
culture, Washington.

Fatal Shooting In Hunt County.
Greenville: Lafayette Zachary was
shot and perhaps fatally Injured four
miles from Hunt, Hunt county, Tues-
day morning. One bullet, entered just
below the right nipple, and. passed
through tho lung, another bullet en-
tering the body on the right sldo and
passing around the ribs. ' Morris Zach-
ary, about 1C years of age, was
brought to town by J. K. Parish and
placed in jail.
Memphis Public School Burned.
Memphis: Tho public .school build-
ing was destroyed by fire Monday. Tho
firo started at tho top of tho building
and was spreading rapidly over tho
roof beforp any ono know that tho
building was on firo. Ono of tho
children told tho teacher that sho
thought tho house was on firo, ns sho
could smell something burning. There
wore about 150 students In tho build-
ing nt tho time, but all got out safely.

The Governor Has Offered a Reward

,Mr. Busby.
Austin, April 7. Although adjourn-
ed to meet yesterday, thero was not a
quorum in cither tho houso or senate.
Beforo the body adjourncdsit was prac-
tically understood just what measures
would come up before the bodies In ex-
traordinary session, nud a forecast of
tho fato of these measures was already
mado. Of course It Is within tho power
cr of governor to call up any matter
ho may chooso, but practically speak-
ing, the. results of tho extra session
are, so far as tho state Is concerned,
records of votes on tho matters pre-
sented, plus a large bill of "exponscs."
Members of tho legislature returning
to the cnpltal report a very consider-
able feeling at their homes because of
tho, defeat in the senate of tho uniform
textbook bill and tho good roads bill.
Great pressure will be brought to bear
upon Gov. Lanham to submit both of
these subjects of legislation to tho call
ed session, and thd majority of tho
members, In tho house particularly, be-
lieve that he will do so, since they aro
platform demands. It is rather ex-
pected, however, that ho will submit
no moro subjects until the legislature
has pretty well cleared the docket of
tho matters already submitted, or until
It ha3 gotten in full swing on tho ap-
propriation bill.
Tho bill providing for the purchase
or erection of a light and water plant
In Austin to supply tho state institu-
tions may lead into very deep water.
There are two water and light plants
in this city ono of them Is oporated
by the city, the other by a private cor-
poration. Recently notice was served
on the state that the city would ad-
vance is rates. It is believed the old
water and light plant, owned by the
private corporation, can bo purchased
for $155,000, and it has been said that
it would pay for itself in four years.
Of course, this statement does not take
into account the outlay for operating
expenses, for repairs, renewals and
maintenance. The state ought to be
ablo to buy its water and light from a
plant which is serving the public
cheaper than It could produce it on a
plant serving state Institutions nlone.
It is believed that when proper repre-
sentations are made to the Austin city
council, satisfactory rates will bo
forthcoming, as they were at Abilene
.and San Antonio. Tho principal op-
position will be to the purchase of tho
"old plant.
Tho Willacy bill continues to be an
absorbing subject for discussion, al-
though It has been laid on tho shelf.
It Is recalled that a medium who re-
cently visited this city stated upon ad-
vice of the "spirits," that tho Willacy
bill would bo passed at the regular
session. A few days later tho "spirits"
revised their forecast, and .'advised
Gov. Lanham would submit tho bill at
tho called session1 and that it would
then pass. Thero aro some few mem-
bors of tho legislature who believe in
tho medium and in tho "spirits," and
who rather expect that they may make
good somewhere along the lino.
Gov. Lanham yesterday offered a re-
ward of $250 for tho npprehonsion of
A. S. Busby, former assistant and fi-
nancial agent of tho Rusk pomtentlary,
alleged to bo an embezzler. There is
somo talk around the, legislature of ap-
pointing a commltteo to probe to tho
bottom of tho affair and to recommona
legislation looking to proper safe-
guards. A test woll is to bo put down at So-
guln in tho search of oil.

Favored
Washington, April 7. Dlrpct viola-
tions of la wcro unearthed in tho
salaries and allowances division of tllo
Postofflco Department, . tho .chlof ot
Which Gcorgo W. Beavors recently
resigned under firo. As tho result ot
tho discovery hundrods of postofflco
clorks throughout tho Unltod States
may suffer a roduction of $100 in their
annual salaries. Other dovolopmonts
of tho investigation ot postofflco af-
fairs now In "progress indicato that Ir-
regularities bordering on tho criminal
will bo proven. Official scalps aro suro
to pay the ponalty.
Postolllco Inspector Waters, who
has temporarily succeeded Mr. Beav-
ers.has discovered that tho affairs of
tho division of salaries and allowances
hns been so manipulated that thero
aro many moro hlgh-salarlcd clerks on
tho rolls of tho Postoffico Department
than Congress over Intended thero
should bo, and not nearly so many low-
salaried clorks employed as Congress
has mado appropriations for.
Congress authorized a definite num-
ber of clerks In each grado, ranging
from $000 to $1700 per year. Thoso
in chargo of tho salary fund so con-
trolled tho situation that only as many
clerks wero employed in tho lower
grades as thero was money enough to
pny after the. favored ones In tho
higher 'grades had been paid.
Tho appropriation for all grades was
made In a lump sum. It appears that
this manipulation tho salary fund
was mado that favored clerks would
rccelvo higher salaries, although thero
wcro no vacancies In superior grades.
In tho $1000 grado thero aro 500 clerks
in excess of tho number, provided for
by law. In higher grades than $1000
tho excess is not so large.
Acting Postmaster General Wynno
will order a general reorganization of
the postolllce force, but tho reorganiza
tion will bo iriado so as to prevent re-
duction of salaries wherever possible.
The last Congress mado a largo in-
crease over tho previous year In tho
salaries appropriation, and this in-
croaso will bo taken into, considera-
tion in tho reorganization, so that if
a clerk is really unlawfully now receiv-
ing $1000 instead of $900, his salary
will remain at $1000 Instead of his
getting an additional $100, as prescrib-
ed by the last appropriation bill.
Lynching In Arkansas.
Little Rock., Ark.:. John Turner
(colored) was lynched at Warron Sun-

front of the courthouse, where sovera
other negroes have been lynched.
