POSTMASTER ELDRED'S REMOVAL.
His Record Good but He Was Holding
Conflicting Offices.

A special dispatch to the Standard
from its Washington correspondent a
few days ago announced that i. S. FL
dred, postmaster at Warm Springs,
had been removed" and Mr.. Dause
reau appointed in his place. Mr.. Ell
dred is express and railroad agent and
also postmaster there, and it is a
money order office. AS some reflection
on Mr.. Eldred's capacity or integrity
might be inferred from the wording of
the dispatch, a friend of Mr.. Eldred's,
who has known him many years, tele-
graphed to Senator Carter, then in
Washington, attesting his good charac
ter and soliciting an investigation of
his office before removal. The follow
ing response written, in the postoffice
department June l by Senator Carter,
has been.received. 1t fully explains the
matter and sets Mr.. Eldred right:
Postmaster Eldred of Warm Springs
run against a statute that prohibits
anyone who sells drafts or express
money orders from handling postoffice
money orders. Mr.. Eldred stands well
with the department, but the law is as
stated. AS Mr.. Eldred will probably
not desire to resign as agent of the eX-
press or railway company, he cannot,
under the law, hold the postof1ice.
