COLD COMFORT FOR CRUM.
Tic Will not be Paid Salary or Fees Under
Ruling Made by the Treasury
Department.

Washington Cor News and Courier.
| Collector Crum's demand upon the
Secretary OF the Treasury for his
April salary, in the shape of commits
sions and fees, has beon turned down
| by the accounting officers of the de-
partment. When DR. Crum was strug-
CLING for a place at the public crib
he declared that it WAS not the com
| pensation Of the Office, but the glory
of being Federal officer, that he
| was after.
These fees and commissions do not
amount to great deal, but, under the
ruling Of the treasury department,
DIR. Crum will receive no pay until
he has bee confirmed by the Senate.
Should he not be confirmed at all by
that body he will never receive a cent
for his service unless Congress by
special Legislation should provide for
such payment.
In submitting his accounts to the
department for the month of April
DR.. Crum included the fees and COM
missions to which he is entitled.
The department has written him that
these fees will have to be withheld,
and calls his attention to Section
l., IGl Of the Revised Statutes, which
is as follows:
"No money shall be paid from the
treasury, as salary, to any person ap-
pointed during the recess Of the
Senate to fill vacancy in any exist
ing Office, if the vacancy existed while
the Senate was in session, and as by
law required to be filed by and with
the advice and consent Of the Senate,
until snch appointment has been con-
firmed by the Senate"
The vacancy in the Charleston
collectorship began last September.
1t was not filed until the Senate
met, when the President sent to the
Senate the name of DR. Crnm. The
I Senate failed TO confirm the nOlDina-
! tion. When tho extra session met
the nomination was again submitted
! to the Senate, but failed Of action by
|
that body. Tbe vacancy, therefore,
! existed while the Senate was in sos
, sion, although, technically speaking
it existed prior to tho assembling OF
Congress-.
Under the ruling of the controller
| and others DIR. Crum could have been
paid his fees had the i'readent ap.
pointed him when the vacancy was
first created. Thls would have been
the filling Of vacancy when the
Senate was not in session. The con
troller of the treasurer and the and-
tors OF the department have passed
/ upon this same form of claim mum
ber OF times before. Mr.. Tracewell

nry, rendered long opinion May g.

On Sunday morning, April rs,

When the noighhors of Mr. and Mrs.

THE NEGRO AND THE MAILS,
Negro Rural Free Delivery Carrier
Held UP BY Armed Masked Men
in Tennessee.

Washington Cor. Nows aud Courier.
Serious trouble broke out in new
place in the postotlico department
last week. Postmaster General Payne
recoived kilograms from postal otli-
Gals IN Trnnesseo, stating that John
Z. Allgood, negro rural free deliv-
cry carrier nt Gallatil,, had been held
up while performing his duties by
masked men and told to leave the
service at cnce, under threats Of
death.
Postmaster General Payne sus~
pended the service on the route pond
ing investigation. He looks upon
the matter M very serious, M there
are many negro carriers in the rural
free delivery districts Of the South,
and suHp"ns"r Of Il large part of the
service IL possib!s if the white peo.
pie maintain thoir present attitude.
MIR. Conger il the rural free de-
livery inspector for the State of Ten
nessee. The route on which the
trouble occurred WAS put into effect
by the department on the first of
March, and there wore five appli-
cants under the civil service rules for
appointment as carrier. The three
mon who stood highest in the exam
ination we're oil negroes. The high
est on the list, Allen Dilyard, received
the appointment, as there was no
option for the postonice officials.
Shortly afterwards he resigned his
place and the second man on tha list
was approximations G. AlIgood.
This case is regarded M more 90
, riDus than the IndianoIu affair, be-
cause it involves tho crimo Of hold
ing up the mails and precipitates
anew the race problem in the South.
In speaking Of the affair tonight,
Postmaster General Payne says:
''There are only two courses left
open for the department: We must
either suspend tn" rural froe delivery
seryice in those districts where the
white people object to negro carriers,
or we must send Unltol States SOL
diers to protect these carriers in the
| performance Of their dutIes 1t would
not be practical to give them q mill
tary guard, nnd, although no deci-
siC.l has been ronched, the probable
result will be permanent suspel.a
sion Of the business in districts whore
such trouble occurs. After further
investigation and report, the case in
Tennessee will probably be referred
to the department Of jnstice."
This latest incident in Tennessee
is regarded here AZ another impor-
tant phase of the race problem in
the South. Representative Gaines,
OF Tennessee, in whose district there
are several negro rural carriers, OK
planned tho southern side Of this
question, by saying tonight that the
women and children in tho sparsely
settled communities Of the South,
we're afraid to have the negroes come
10 their houses to deliver tho mail.
