PARIS, June 23.-Although the French
minister at Belgrade was not given specific
orders to withdraw, the officials here say
that the instructions sent gave him full lib
erty to adopt such a course IL the majority
of his diplomatic colleagues left the Servian
capital. Owing to the growing complica-
tons in the situation it was deemed de-
sirable to give him complete liberty of
action to meet any circumstances arising,
the only limitation being that ne was to
conform with the action of the majority of
the ministers.
Reports received from other capitals
showed there was a strong tendency to
make an emphatic expression of abhorrence
at Servia's tragedies.

DETROIT, June 23.-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Edwin c. Madden, who
is visiting in this city, to-day sent letter
to Postmaster General Payne denying that
he let contract for carbon paper for the
registry division of the postoffice without
permitting competition and asking the post
master general to Immediately investigate
the story and it's source. The letter fol-
lows:
This mornings Free Press of this city
tells Its readers in article with scare
head lines that Third Assistant Postmaster
General Madden is TO be investigated. 1t
alleges that / drew specifications of con-
tract for supplying the department with
carbon paper and that they were so framed
as to allow of no competition. The article
makes Mr.. Wynne say that he merely ap-
proved as a routine matter. 1t gives the
impression that the contract is over
which the third assistant has control, and
there is a broad inference that you consider
the transaction corrupt.
THE whole statement, in so far it at
tempts to involve me. is absolutely false. 1
