Lee took his personal and political friend
Ketchum and installed him into the place.
There are three men here on the eligible
list, and they are going 10 make n big stir

force the chief clerk out VIII be resented

out by the acts of the department, for last
Saturday the Waterman, who was appoint

stopped and the collector was notified that

the place, compromised by accepting the
deputyship aud withdrew. ns told exclu-
sively In The Post at the time from Wash

trade to this effect had been made, but
II is noticeable that Rosenthal went into
office today.
Ketchum. who Is now chief clerk, was n
well-known contractor here and is popu-
lar fellow He has no fears of losing the
place because the appointment did not
come through the civil service.
