The Senate today began consideration of the post office appropriation bill and it was the signal for a revival of the Democratic demand for an investigation into the charges of corruption in the postofflce department. The debate was initiated by Mr. Gor man, who spoke for almost two hours in criticism of the course of the Repub lican party in the Senate in refusmg an inquiry. Mr. Gorman referred to the hasty consideration and report of the bill and asserted that there had been persistent denials of the privilege of investigation of the affairs of the post office department. He urged that It 'was not yet too late to take steps to prevent further robbery and theory in the department.

He eaid that he considered the postofflcebill a good one. except in a few of Its items, but he thought there should be an Investiga tion, as he thought there should be a systematic and rigid examination by. Congress into all departmental affairs. He charged that the early adjournment of Congress was sought to prevent the opening the books and getting at the truth and he declared that if Mr. Rris tow's accusations against ex-First As sistant Postmaster Heath were correct he was as jruilty as Machen. He was proceeding without mention ing Mr. Heath specifically, when Mr. Mailory interrupjed to ask If he meant the present first assistant postmaster general. Mr. Clay replied that he did not. Mr. Clay referred to the charges against Mr. Heath in the matter of the employment of M. W. Louis and others, saying that the charge had been made that Mr. Heath had escaped indictment, only because of the statute of limita tions. Mr. Scott said he did not think that statement correct and Mr. Clay said that he had been mistaken in uppo Insc that this explicit statement had been officially made. Mr. Scott read a letter from Assistant Attorney General Robb of the post office department saying that evidence did not warrant the indictment of Mr. Heath. Mr. Clay replied, by saying that Mr. Scott was the only champion of Mr. Heath that had appeared on the floor of the Senate and Mr. Scott replied that it was Mr. Robb and not hlmse!f who was the champion. "Then." responded Mr. Clay in sten torian tones, -he has not a single cham pion here to defend him." Mr. Scott: "According to Mr. Robb's statement he does not need -any de fense." Mr. Clay replied by giving the de tails of the employment of Mr. Louis as superintendent of supplies for the post office department. Mr. Clay said that Louis had increased prices paid for sup plies from 20 to 75 per cent. "All this." said Mr. Clay, "is Inter esting. You may pick on Dristow If you wish, but he has done a work that I appreciate." He then proceeded to give specific Instances of the charges against Louis, including In them the one that he had ceased buying good ink at 16 cents a pound and had instead contracted to pay 20 cents." He urged an investigation na the only method of determining the truth of the charges made. The President. Mr. Brlstow and Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte had all said that Heath should be investigated and he thought they should be taken at their word. If Mr. Brlstow's charges against Heath were not true, they constitute a mall- clous and gross slander and Mr. Hath should have the right to defend himself against them. In conclusion Mr. Clay said that any party in power was liable to fall into errors of administration and that any party should seek an examination into its affairs.
