A POSTMASTER ACCUSED.
It. e. COyne at Head of Chicago Post
Office Charged with Violation of
Civil Service Rules.

Washington, March 10. - Charges
have been filed with the civil service
commission against Postmaster F. E..
Coyne, of Chicago, alleging that he has
made numerous changes in the Chicago
post office for political reasons. The
complaint is made by t. w. Whittier, for
merly superintendent of a station of
the Chicago post Office, who specifies
that he was reduced from that posi-
ton, paying $4,000 per annum, to mail
ing clerk at $1,100 and that, on refus-
ing to accept the change, he was dis
missed. He says this action was due
to his being a democrat. Mr.. Wittler
alleges that Postmaster Coyne reduced
nine other men in the service on po-
litical grounds, seven of them being
democrats and the men appointed to
succeed them being republicans. The
complaint also charges that this action
was taken in the interest of the can
didacy of Senator Mason for reelection
Postmaster Coyne, in reply, alleges the
action taken against Whittier was due
to lack of harmony at the station of
which he was superintendent, and that
he was personally repugnant to the
other employees and was dismissed on
account of characterization and DISC
bedience. The commission will inves-
tigate.

The animals are trained to lead the

they are taught to walk in straight

this result with frisky young puppy
requires about two months of constant
