Sevta Dollar*, Not TWrty Tboosaod. Postmaster General Payne made public the answers of Henry A. Castle, the auditor of the Treasury for the Postoffice Department * and Comptroller Traccwcll, of the Treasury', regarding the Tolloch charges of irregularities in the postal administration. The answers specifically deny allegations oi wrongful

procedure.

.. Comptroller Traccwcll charges T. W. Gjhner. formerly an expert of his office, with abstracting, but subsequently returning upon demand, the letter authorizing .Mr. Gilmer to examine the accounts of any postoffice except Washington and New York. Mr. Traccwcll alleges this letter was written by Gilmer himself without ^ny suggestion from the Controller. Mr. Castle says that the sum of the tentative disallowances by Expert Gilmer and the Comptroller aggregated $932; that the credits finally disallowed out of a total of a quarter of a million were $165, of which he claims only $7 was incorrectly audited. This. Mr. Castle says, is the •basis of Mr. Tulloch's charge disallowances of $30,000 or $40.000.. The Postmaster General's statement says that the lettej* are made public at the request of the two officials, and that it will appear from them how much foundation there was for the Tolloch

statements.

Mr. Castle, in his answers, says that Mr. Tulloch shares in a prevailing misapprehension that an auditor i< charged with the responsibility of keeping other officials “correct and honest." and in determining the necessities of the service. -The auditor says thal such functions would be fatal to administrative freedom

by the head of a department.

Regarding the settlement and subscouent revision of an account of the late Postmaster Willett, of —‘—

involved alleged irregularities in Porto Rico during the military operations there, the auditor replies that every hem believed to be illegal was disallowed

TTie wide discretion given in the language of the appropriations for militao' postal sen-ice. according to the auditor's answer, shows that Congress intended to exempt the disbursements of those appropriations from many of the ordinary

regulations.
