 mant


 ment.
 Washington. Oct. s.-Announcement of the resignation of H. A. Castle, Auditor for the Postoffice Department, was made today. The resignation was dated October '. and was directed to the Secretary of the Treasury, who has indicated his ac- ceptance. The resignation is to take ef- feet when his successor Is appointed and qualihes. and MT. Castle said today that he would remain in office until that time. MT Castle also said that he had rendered his resignation last spring, but that when the investigation of Postofice Department anairs was begun, Secretary Shaw asked him to remain, and he had consented to do so. MT Castle added that his reason for resigning is found in the necessity for his attending to his private business, and as soon as relieved from the duties of his office he would return to his home at st. Paul.
 In reply to question as to whether his resignation had been induced bv any charges connected with the investigation into the affairs of the Postofice Depart- ment; Mir. Castle replied in the mega. tive. T know of no charges" he said. If there was any. would not, of course, be allowed to resign. The only criticism of myself of which I am aware as made by MT. Tulloch, and I made reply to his statement last May. I have, of course. seen the newspaper statement that I had been reflected by the reports to be made by MT. Bristow and by Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad. I know nothing as to the accuracy of this report and can only say that I shall be prepared to answer any criticisms when made.
 My only reason for resigning is that which has been given. wanted to get out of official life and l was especially anxious to avoid spending the last sum mer in Washington. I was urged. how ever, to remain until the investigation could be made, aod no that if Is over. wan to get out before tht congressional inquiry commences. That may go on in- definitely, and I do not care to wait on its termination" MT. Castle said the reports that he is a director in a mining company which is reported to have been engaged in selling stock to postmasters was not true, but added that if he had been a director in a mining company there would have been no ground for criticism in that connec- kfon
