Line of Policy That VIII Govern Their
Selection,


WASHINGTON, March 27.-Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster-GeneralM Maxwell to-
day indicated tie line of policy which
will govern him in the selection of about
$4,000 fourth-class Postmasters this year.
''In the first place." said he, 81 don't
propose to allow unsuccessful politicians
to dictate appointments. Ex-Congress-
men and men who were defeated will not
control appointments under me. In d
State where there is not a Democratic
Senator, and districts that are repre-
sented by Republicans in Congress, the
State, District or County Committees will
be asked TO make recommendations for
Postmasters. We want to deal with live
Democrats, men of influence, not worn
out politicians.
Men and women who held postoffices
four years ago will not be appointed,
if new blood can be found The
'no-eX' rule will apply in the selec-
ton of tourth-class postmasters. of
course, if we cannot get Democrats who
have not held offices to accept them, we
will reinstate old postmasters rather than
permit Republicans to hold offices. We
are now ready for business, and changes
will be made as rapidly as possible

violates laws of the United States If my
deputies there do not properly conduct them

The Governor followed it at once with
this terse query:
VIII you please state what laws of the

thre eatened with violation: Upon whose com
plant have the Deputy MarshaIs been ap-
pointed? No notice has been received at this
once OF the failure or inability of the State

peace. SYLVESTER PENSoYER, Governor.
Governor Pennoyer. speaking to a
correspondent il regard to the sending of
Deputy United States Marshals to Drain,
said United States Deputy Marshals have
no more authority to interfere between
the Japanese and citizens than have any
tramps or bummers, and if they do in
terfere, the Sheriff of Douglass county
ought to arrest them along with the
them tried and punished. The only con-
tingency in which those deputies can
have any authority to act in this matter
is in the event of interference with the
