BAUMHOFF MAKES
SEVERAL CHANGES,
"Shakeup" in Local Post Office
for Betterment of the
Service.
NEW JOB FOR J. H. BRACKEN.
Was Formerly the Postmaster's
Private Secretary, but Is Now
in Money-Order De
partment.

Several changes have been made in the
| departments Of the local Post Office. and
Postmaster Baumhoff says the move is
| made for the betterment of the service"
John H. Bracken. who has acted as the
Postmaster's private secretary, has been
placed in charge Of the money-order funds.
His salary will be the same-S2OOO a year
and Postmaster Baumhoff denies the report
| that it is to be reduced.
The Postmaster says that Bracken has
been getting that salary for long time,
for his services.
Harvey l.. Skidmore, who has held
clerkshp in the money-order department.
has been transferred to the stamp depart
| ment; James C. Ward has been transferred
from the stamp department TO the registry
| department, and Henry Lloyd has been
transferred from the registry department to
the Bureau of Information.
Postmaster Baumhoff claims that there is
no especial significance in these changes
II have witnessed changes similar to
these" said the Postmaster lever since l
have been in the service. which is now more
| than nineteen years. These changes are
made for the purpose Of improving the serv
ice. If think man can do better work
in the stamp department than he can in
the registry department why. put him in
the stamp department.
Isn't 1t true that the department at
Washington did not know that Bracken was
acting as your private secretary
sSrao
rotary in the true sense of the term. He
had a multiplicity of duties. even as he
now has.
"A man in my position tries to give the
more important work of the office TO the
men he thinks capable of handling it. This.
naturally. creates jealousy, and in the Post
Office Department the ones intrusted with
the important work are sometimes called
pets
But the Post-Oflice Department knew
what Mr.. Bracken was doing, just as 1t
knows what every mt mber of the local de-
partment is doing.
This talk OF irregularities in appoint
ments is all bosh. 1 dare not place a man
in a position without the consent Of the
department at Washington. Why, when
want to transfer man in the service I
have to report the matter to the depart
ment proper. the Civil Service Board and
the department auditor. And must get
authority from at least two of those men
toned.
These hints at irregularities are ridicu-
lous, and I want TO say now that IL any one
has any charges to make with regard to
assignment of employees in this Office, let
him file the charges with the proper au-
thorities-the department officials at Wash
ington.
During my term as Postmaster 1 have
never transferred man for personal rea-
sons My one aim has always been to i'm
prove the service"
All the men transferred recently by Post
master Baumkoft will receive the same SAL
aries as heretofore

DECISION SUSTAINED.
Judge Lacombe sustains department ac-
ton in Greek and English accountant
cases on the ground that they belonged TO
the learned professions. Details later.
COMMISSIONER W. W. WILLIAMS"
This decision is regarded as sf the utmost
Importance, although the fact is known
here that one OF the cases in question will
be called upon to determine if the new i'm
migration act conflicts with the old and
vitiates the alien contract labor law clause
as claimed by the counsel for the defend
ants.
1t is well known that the immigration act
of the last session was drawn up with 4
view Of lowering the gates so as to admit
alien contract labor on technicalities But
strict orders have been given to observe
the conditions of the old law. in spite of the
new law allowing wholesale admissions I'M

Of this law applicable TO contract labor
shall not be held to exclude professional
actors. artists, lecturers singers, ministers
OF any religious denomination, professors
ing to any recognized learned profession or
employed strictly as personal or domestic
servants"
BCGBEAR TO OFFICIALS
The section on Immigrants belonging to
the learned professions or employed strictly
as personal and domestic servants" has
been the 'bugbeaT'' of immigration officials.
another section of the recent law provides.
that all acts and parts of acts inconsistent
with this act are hereby repealed, provided.
that this act shall not be construed TO re-
peal. alter or amend existing laws relating
TO the immigration or exclusion of Chinese
persons" This provision gave basis for the
appeal made by the plaintiffs attorneys in
the case decided to-day by Judge Lacombe.
Commissioner Sargent said, concerning the
decision:
I'VE are sratified by this decision Any
other conclusion would have opened the
doors wide for the admission of alien con-
tract labor. l have no doubt the issue will
be appealed and presented to the higher
courts. Evidences are many that i'm
migrants not otherwise admissible en-
deavor to come in under the sections re-
lating to the learned professions and as
strictly private or domestic servants But
there is no way of stopping violations until
efforts are made to discourage the flow from
the other side as 1t is difficult to prove
cases of violation against steamship COM
panies or agents on this side"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. June 26.-Conclusive evidence
has been obtained by Immigration Commits
sioner Sargent from United States inspec-
tors abroad. showing that steamship COM
panies cooperate with syndicates and
agents to food the United States with aliens
and violate tho contract labor law.
Another important and highly gratifying
announcement made at the immigration
Department to-day was the decision Of
Judge Lacombe OF the United States Dis
trict Court for the Southern District OF
New York. sustaining the act of Congress,
passed at the last session, which Will give
the bureau greater authority in preventing

brought on application OF Lonterio Lontos,
for q writ OF habeas corpus after he had
been denied admission on the ground OF
being an alien contract laborer. The
plaintiffs counsel based his appeal on the
ground that the new immigration law re-
pealed the alien contract labor provision
and even though Lontos might not come
under the head Of professionals admitted
under the new Law. he could not be excluded
because OF the alleged repeal OF the alien
AGENTS AT WORK
II have obtained information which. on
the face OF It. shows that the steamship
companies are either directly or indirectly
cooperating with the so-called peddlerS and
agents who go through the rural districts
in Southern European countries inducing
emigration to this country" said Immigra-
ton Commissioner Sargent to-day. There
IS no doubt that they are active in the
work although the steamship companies do
not allow it to appear that they are con-
Ce,ned.
This information l shall submit to Con-
gress for the benefit of those who are in
terested In the immigration question. It
shows that the agents are provided with
circulars and employ all manner of
schemes. Many of the steamship lines vie
for the trade. as it is doubtless profitable TO
them. Whenever able-bodied and healthy
peasants are found they are sent to ports
whore they are likely to be admitted.
Whenever they are diseased. disabled or
come under the pauper-exclusion provisions
they are sent to other ports. notably in

New York, June S.-What is generally be-
lieved to be the largest individual transac-
ton in the history of cotton dealing in this
country took place on the exchange to-day.
There were issued notices to the extent
of 5000 or 10000 bales. the transfer being
made on a basis of 10 cents pound
The receiver of the cotton will be COM
PEELED TO pay before the first of the month
SIS for each bale of cotton, or total of So
10000. While the cotton was delivered to
three or four different houses prominent in
the cotton market. these concerns were
Ssimply agents in the transaction, the man
behind the deal being ". P. Brown of New
Orleans.
The stock of cotton in New York, accord
Ing to the running count is 1874 900 bales. or
more than half of the entire stock of cotton
at port and Interior towns in this country.
A larger stock has been accumulated in
this city than is usually the case and has
been brought here mostly by large firm Of
exporters in order to be basis OF protec-
ton against their commitments in the fu-
ture market While 10000 bales out of the
$4,000 has been delivered thus far, it is gen.
orally believed that practically the entire
stock will be passed over to Mr.. Brown and
taken by him.
This will call for about 500 600 in cash,
and in addition to the cotton taken In New
York the New Orleans stock Of 5000 bales
is controlled by the same interest. This So.
ces bales calls for s.. 500 900 more. and by the
.Snd of another week the trade estimates
that Mr.. Brown and his associates will
control 1000 bales of the total stock OF
$4,000 bales in this country.
The acceptance of the cotton to-day. con-
corning which there has been some doubt
heretofore, indicates that Mr.. Brown is
aiming at virtual control Of the cotton
situation of this country. and SO of the
supply OF American cotton throughout the
