JUDGE RAYS RESIGNATION.
Why the Chief OF the Division OF Postal
Laws and Resolutions Left the Service.

why the Chief OF the Division OF Postal
Laws and Resolutions Left the Service.
The resignation of Judge Ray, chief of the
division of postal laws and regulations in the
postoilice department, has been rendered to
the postmaster general, and will probably be
accepted.
Judge Ray occupied somewhat peculiar
position in the department, being tho head of
u division which had not been created by
congress- but which had become established
by the usage Of the Office. In this position
he was called on to give opinions ON legal
questions, at the same time that there existed
regular law officer of the department in the
person of the assistant attorney general of
the pos toilice department, Judge Freeman.
Judge Gresham, on becoming postmaster
general and finding conflict OF opinions be-
tween the two law divisions of his depart.
ment, concluded that such an anamolous con-
ditiOn of things should not be allowed to con-
tnue. So he issued an order Transforming
torney generals Office, making but one law
division.
The personal relations existing between
Judge Ray and Assistant Attorney General
Freeman, however, were such that the
former could not work harmOniously as a
subordinate of the latter officer, and sooner
than continue in.such subordinate position he
has rendered his resignation.
Judge Ray is personal friend of the post
master general. lie was II justice Of the
supreme court of Indiana before coming to
Washington.
