cently for tho purpose of Informing hlni
In the matter, but that olllclal refused tn

Judge about the Lynch transaction and
shout many other alleged Irregularities in
the Omahi office of tho land department,
but tho Judge declined to look at the
documents offered, In proof of the atory
related by his visitor. Judgo Cornish Is
raid to have dismissed Lunger with n cold,
but polite "Thank you."
"In IMS I brought tho Lynch matter and

President Burt;" say's Mr. Lunger, "and he
told mo that 1 did my duty and that no
harm could come to mo from my actions.
At that time he acted on my Information

tho deal with Davis, through Voorhls. In
order to retain possession of tho land
from which he wuh drawing rental. Now,
when I am prepared to show President Hurt
tho ovldcnvo of tho fictitious deal with
Davis, by which Lynch retains possession
of tho land, he refuses to hear me."

Judse W. II. Yost, who assisted rx-Gov-

Hradley then told them that he had been
told that three men were waiting to kill

WASHINGTON, April 11. A letter from
A. L. Lawshc, auditor of the Philippines,
has been received nt tho War department
and certain portions of It havo been sent
lo the postmasjer general for his Informa
tion. The Ictler relates largely to the methods
of keeping accounts, which arc not ap
proved by Mr. Lawsho and which hnvc not
been In accordance with the forms pro
scribed. Mr. I.nwshc took four expert clerks
when he went to the Philippines nnd these
ire going over the accounts. It Is said
at the department that there Is no Intima
tion ot any fraud or wrongdoing, hut that
a system of bookkeeping Ih In vogue which
lacks the business methods necessary to
secure tho best results.
The transmission of this letter to the
postmaster1 general gnvo rise to reports
that Irregularities and frauds have been
developed In the Philippines' postal serv
ice Postmaster General Smith today gnvo
an emphatic denial to the reports.
"Tho accounts ns filed here," aald Mr.
Smith, "nre certainly ample. They account
satisfactorily for everything. As to Ir
regularities, thcro Is absolutely no word
tit foundation for such a slory. Not long
ago ono ot the most experienced Inspectors
In the postal nervlco was sent to tho Philip
pines and ho mado n thorough inspection
ot every detail of tho wo.-k there. His
report paid a high tribute to tho condition
of affairs. Tho reports from there show a
handsome surplus, a showing that I only
wish the servlco in tho United States could
make. There Is nothing whatever to sub
stantiate audi reports."
