Mr. Bristow has had interviews with
the presiJent and Secretary Taft re-

termination was not reached until
yesterday. His decision to accept tht
special commissionership was has-
tened. It Is said, by the transfer of
the division of postoffice Inspectors
from the bureau of the fourth assist-
ant postmaster general to the direct
control of the postmaster general him-
self. Mr. Bristow regarded the issu-
ance of the order of transfer of the
division as a reflection on him. That
the order as to the inspectors' divi-
sion was not issued with the idea of
humiliating Mr. Bristow is evidenced
by the president's action.
