METcALFE PLEADS.
He Asks Suspension of the Order of
Dismissal

Dismissal.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 1S.-
postmaster General Payne today re-
ce1ved the following letter from Mr..
Metcalfe, former superintendent of the
money order department. asking for a
suspension of the order of dismissal
until his complete defense may be
heard:
Il cannot but feel that under ordi-
nary circumstances such summary ac-
ton as has been taken in my case
would not have been taken without
giving me chance to be heard myself
in my defense. 1t must be due to the
heated, excited and eongested condition
OF affairs in the postoff1ce department
that the postmaster general has con-
sented to this summary dismissal of a
man who for" the best part of his life
since attaining manhood has devoted
MS whole thought and being to the
honest discharge Of his duties to the
government and the best interest of
the postal service, in which no stain
or suspicion has ever heretofore at
tached.
Justice to myself, my family and
my friends asks me to appeal to the
postmaster general to arrest the order
of summary dismissal and accord me
an opportunity to show that in this
matter as we'll as all others I was
consulting only the best interests of
the. pOStOfhce money order service in
whatever / did considering the Her
man bid, and not my own self interests
and with no thought of myself or my
family, as is made to appear in the
charge against me. The common
sense of justice and the right of de-
tense, which my score of years of
faithful public service entities me to,
must impel the postmaster general to
grant me this opportunity of demon
! stratlng to him that his action has
| been hasty and unjust to a faithful
public servant, who has devoted his
| life to the best interests of his gov
eminent. The suspension of your or
