iNflioN, May Hondcr- the Commlttoo on rost-oniccs and fKonds, presented tn tho House to-day a tfneiftion from the Leako Pneumatic Transpor- Company which concerns Postmaster- il Wanamaker and may make trouble 1m Tho petition was referred to Mr. irson's committee. The point ot It is r. Wanamaker Is charged with using Iclal power against the Leako Company i'r of another company operating what as the Clay system ot pneumatic Ice. Postmaster John Field, ol Phlladel- la, la also dragged Into the scandal.

No ies are mentioned In the memorial prc- ited ft) Congress, but the Leake Company's TS do not hesitate to say that Mr. Wana- ir and others have been acting unfairly THijlf'drds them. Charges are made, too, that stock has been sot aside for the Government officers whoso assistance Is sought by tho opponents ot tho Leake Company. The use of pneumatic tubes for conveying mall matter from placo to place In largo cities having been urged upon tho Poat-Onica DC- partment and the plan being looked upon with favor by the authorities, the Leake Company set out to Introduce their system In Philadelphia between the main post-ofllcc, at Ninth and Chestnut streets, and the substation, on Chestnut street, below Fourth. In November, 180i, otter several conferences with postmaster-General Wanamaker and Postmaster John Field, of Philadelphia, Mr.

Leake was asked by them to put In writing Just what bis company proposed to do, and also to furnish a report from some engineer as to the capabilities ot tho system. Mr. Leako replied that ns far ns tho engineer's report was concerned, ho had no use for It, but It such a thing was required he preferred that Postmaster Field should select his own engineer to make such report. To this proposition Mr. Field agreed.

Mr. Leake then submitted to the Government a proposition to lay and complete a pneumatic service, with a S4-lnch pipe, between the two offices, and to give the same to the Government tree ot charge. Accompanying this formal offer were tbo Field's engineer and a guarantee from ChrlBtophcv Thomas G. Carey, Thomas Clements 7 and that the contract oi the Leake Company would be faithfully performed. The guarantors were worth at least $330.000.

Mr. Leake sont also with the proposition a certified check for $5,000 as a guarantee of good faith, but this was refused by Postmaster Field on tho ground that he had not as yet Inquired Into the standing of the Lenke Pneumatic Transportation Company. Thereupon Mr. Leake furnished the postmaster with a bond ot 4300,000, which wns accepted. Thu proposition from Mr.

Leake. together with the other documents, Mr. Field earned to Washington and presented In person to Postmaster-General Wanamakor. Meanwhile the owners of tlio Clay Pneu- matla system were making strenuous efforts to establish a plant in Philadelphia lor tbo use of tho postal authorities. The active representative or the Clay people In this matter was J.

0. Mollonry, who la an intimate friend ot Postmuster Field and Postmaster Wunamakor, and has been a toaoher in Mr. Wanamnker's Sunday-school for about twenty-nvo years. The proposition of thn clay people was for a. e-lucli tube as against tho Leako people's 24-looh tube.

They also asked tho Government to pay them, their plant was satis- taotory, a bonus ot abmt $30,000. In both oases the power to run thu.systems was to come from tho surplus holler-power in the Philadelphia Posl-onico building. Thii difference, howevjor, existed: lhat whero thu Leake system required only the power ot one boiler the Olny system needed the combined power of three boilers. About, Dec. 1 the Post-Ofllco Department In Philadelphia received notice from Mr.

Wanamaker tunt no definite proposition had been received Irom the Leako Com puny, in reply Mr. Leako 'telegraphed Mr. Wanamakor that Postmaster Fluid had stated that ho lu person had delivered to tho Postmustor-aonorul the proposition ol the Leako Company, together with the bond ot security. To this wnnamaker replied, saying that he was without any definite proposition und ho could not oonsldor a verbal ono, Mr, Leake at once sent to Mr. Wanamaker duplicate copy of the original proposition, as well as of all other papers pertaining to tho matter.

These papers were accompanied by a letter to Postmaster-General wanumakur from B. F. Uughes, the acting Postmaster nt Philadelphia, Postmaster Field being, absent in Colo, rado at this time. In hta letter Mr. Hughes said that ho had forwarded to ihe Postmaster-General the propositions at tha Leako people, and tholr lecoipt In Washington had been acknowl.

edged. Ho also states that ho sont several supplemental documents, all or which were delivered. From this latter It would appear thut Mr. Wanamaker did receive the original proposition submitted by Mr. Leake, although bo denied by telegraph that It was in his possession.

The Treasury Dtpartmont then asked that representatives ol both the Leake anil Clay, systems go before the engineer nnd custodian ot the poat-ofllco building In Philadelphia, in order that tho latter learn officially tho. power necessary to operate the respuc. tlvo systems. This request was compiled with, and the custodian reported that, while there was aunicleut power to operate the Leuke aystem, that required by. tho clay system was greatly lu excess ot what could, bo furnished by tho boilers in the post-oilloe building.

They claim.to havo evidence to this effect, which evidence also allows that Mr. Wanamaker has been equally alert to further the interests ot the clay people. The Leako Compuiiy has a plant oil ro.idy to put In the ground as soon tho Government the necessary permission.
