PosTMAsTERs RESPONSIBLE.
Only Orders From Postmaster General
Will Relieve Subordinates.

1t is reported that large number Of dis
missals and reductions are about to be
made in the New York post office as a re-
suit of the special investigation in progress
at that office, but Postmaster General
Payne and other officials deny knowledge
of any immediate changes. Mr.. Payne
says that the inspectors are still at work
on the New York Office and have made no
report. 1t Is expected, however, that some
material results of this nature will accrue
from the investigation at New York.
The Postmaster General today said that
there were perhaps a half dozen cases in
the country where postmasters have been
called on to refund the salaries they per-
mitted to be paid in their office to clerks
who made no pretense of performing their
duties and who spent practically no time
at their desks. He announced that any
postmaster was responsible legally for any
act in violation of the law, although order
ed by an officer of the department. and
that the department would not excuse any
unlawful act of a postmaster on orders
from any department officer below the
Postmaster General and that the excuse
then would be only moral one and not
legal one.

Combination a Strong Bar.

Today is Friday and the 18th of the
month, and there were very few applica-
tons for permits for new structures and
repairs received at the building inspectors
office. 1t was stated at the office that Fri
day is always light day with respect to the
granting of permits. and this is particularly
the case when the 18th of the month falls
on Friday. 1t is evident the people gen.
orally have superstitious dislike to secur-
ing permits for new buildings the 18th of
the month and when the additional Friday
"hoodoo' is also to be encountered there
is light work in the building inspectors Of
fee.

wartime story Of love, Of daring and OF
noble self-sacrifice, wherein the heroine
