Report that Postmaster GenI
eral Cortelyou is to be Prosecuted
Causes Much Excitement
and Comment.
Washington, M:ucli 27.?
Special to The News and Cornier
: humors Irom New York
to day th >t Cornelius N. Bliss,
George 1',. Cortelyou aud George
W. Pernins had been indicted
there, or that warrants had been
sworn out tor their arrests in
connection with Mr. I'erkin's
contribution o! the New York
Lite Insurance Company's fund
to the Republican national committee
in the last campaign,
created jireat interest in Washington.
Postmaster Cortelyou
\vn- besieged by interviewers, but j
all he could say was he had not
been informed (hat any action
had been, or was to be taken agiinst
him in New York. While
lie declined to talk lor publication,
jt was evident to Mr. CortelyoiPs i
friends that he was deeply hurt
over what these Iriends regarded
as an apparent attempt to injure
the Post muster General by con
neding liis name with a criminal
prosecution.
There was much speculation
in Congress and Adminstration
circles as to what would he the
attitude of Mr. Roosevelt if one
of his Cabinet officers were arrested
on a criminal charge. The
opinion was practically unanimous
that the President would
insist on Mr. Cortelyou attending
Cabinet meetings and continuing
to serve as the head ol
the pos'otliee department, and
II * i ?
wouia not consent to nave iur
status changed in any degree
while the prosecution was pending.
According to the Washington
view, an indictment ot Corteyou
for receiving campaign contributions
that might have been taken
from trust funds would be an
annoying procedure. Those who
are aware of Cortelyou's method
of conducting the national com
mil tee in the campaign of 1004 i
are confident that, should it he-!
come necessary to do so, he
would he able to show a clean
bill of health in regard to both
his official and personal connec
tion with campaign contribu
lions.
