ABSOLUTELY PURE
BACK FROM WASHINGTON


Colonel Coiver Returns From the National
Capital Unseathed
Col. Fred +. Colver, late OF t1e United
States railway mail service, returned last
evening from Washington, d. G., where ne
has been for several months past. Colonel
Colver emphaticalIy denies the story that
he walked back. He insists that this story
has been circulated by some enemy OF his.
The colonel claims that he patronized the
Pullman on the return trip throughout. he
had a most enjoyable time.
The colonel, it will be remembered, was
connected with the railway mail service
for seven years. He became convinced
that Samuel Flint, superintendent OF the
eighth division of the railway mail service,
and his superior officer, was not the right
man for the place. He went on to WASH
ington to consult with the postmaster gem
eral and his first assistant about the mat
ter, After looking into the case and having
numerous interviews with the high officials,
Colonel Colver concluded that the mail
service could get along without him, and he
thereupon rendered his resignation. Super
intendent Flint still! holds his position.
Colonel Colver had an interesting and
pleasant but very brief interview with the
president. He stopped at Cincinnati, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Kansas City and Topeka
on his return, and is indeed happy to be
again in Southern California.
