POST OFFICE FIGHT.
Mayor Bittinger Said to Be Slated
for Ambassador to Mexico
Republicans Divided.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
st. Joseph. Mo-. July 25.-The latest bit OF
political gossip to go the rounds here rela-
tive to the post office fight is that Major
Bittinger. former st. Joseph boss and pres
ent Consul General to Montreal, who has
been mentioned as possible candidate
for the office. is to be cared for in SO much
better style that he will not bother with a
little thing like the st. Joseph post office
1t is said that he is to be made the AM
bassador to Mexico. in which berth he
will draw $1,000 a year. $1,000 more than
the Montreal job pays. 1t is well-known
fact that the Majors objection to the
Montreal consulship was that 1t did not
pay enough money. The story comes from
the innermost recesses of the Republican
camp that Powell Clayton Colonel kerenss
friend. is TO resign as Ambassador to Mex
Bittinger.
1t is also stated on good authority that

port the structure were discovered.
Despite the efforts Of the bridge officials
to belittle the accident. it IL undoubtedly

Grand Jury will be drawn to the serious
mishap. Assistant District Attorney Lee

a letter. to Police Commissioner Murphy
asking for full; detailed and immediate
report on the condition of the bridge.
Since the break was discovered. It has

ty-ninth Infantry as commanding officer Of
the barracks.
The men experienced great discomfort
from the torrid heat, as the weather was de-
lightfully cool at Fort Ethan Allen when
they departed, but as that post is situated
in the country the heat was forgotten by
the men in their elation at being stationed
near a large city. which offers many attrac-
tions and pleasures to the soldier when of
