Smith Replies To Tulloch On Postal Administration
Washington May 31 Postmaster General Payne released the reply of former Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith to charges by S W Tulloch of the Washington City Post Office. Smith says he investigated the allegations and found the evidence largely justified the transactions, noting the Spanish war forced rapid post to a military audience. He explains camps and Porto Rico offices were treated as branches of Washington and New York respectively to manage mail for 250,000 soldiers and their families, a practical measure that fueled later accusations.
