''Weil, think IL IS believe the real reason OF

Mr.. Anger said that in reference to the charge
made against him before the Post ONCE depart
meht some months ago, in connection with the
star route straw bond cases, he had been exoner-
ated by the Postmaster General Section 5s4, OF
from going on bonds to the amount
of four times his worth. Now the question was
whether the postmaster had to determine this
matter or the department. The postmaster had
no means OF knowing how many bonds had been
accepted All he had done, as postmaster, WIS to
certytD case OF twelve bonds, that the surety was
worth as much as represented. He had laid the
matter before the Postmaster, and on the 18th day
or May last received a letter from the
Postmaster General, deciding the question
raised, which stated that the regulation referred
to was intended as guide to officers of the de-
partInent, and not as guide to po5tnaSter5; and
further, In the judgment of the Postmaster GEN
eral, section 5S4 was an unauthorized attempt to
limit the language OF the statute, and it therefore
had no force. Following Immediately upon this
letter was an order revOking the section under
winch the complaint against him (Mr. Ainger) was
laid.
