MISS TODD'S REMOVAL
THE POSTMASTER GENERALS
STATEMENT TO THE PRESIDENT.
Tells Of the Charges Made by Senator
Alice Against the Delaware Post
mistress Senator Balls Attitude.

Postmaster General Payne has made
statement to the President in relation TO
the removal of Miss Todd, the Delaware
postmistress. This case, involving, as II
did, the factional fight in. Delaware. was
called to the attention of the President by
Senator Ball Of Delaware in behalf of Miss
Todd.
An agreement had been entered into be-
tween Senator Ball, who represents the
anti-Addicks element in Delaware and is
regular republican, and Senator Alice. who
is known as Addicks' man, being a union
republican. for division Of the patronage
of the state. BY this agreement the patron
age of the state was to be divided between
the two senators. But Senator Ball did not
suppose such a division of patronage meant
that officials were to be removed to make
room for the Addicks men. He thought that
as vacancies occurred the places would be
filled according to the terms OF the agree
ment The removal of Miss Todd for purely
political reasons and because she was par
ucularly and personally obnoxious to Sen
ator Alice was surprise to him, and he
at once began to oppose the action of the
postmaster General with a view of having
1t reversed, as such decision in one case
would permit the removal on the same
charge of $50 other tncumbents CT post
offices.
This protest resulted in letter from the
President to Mr.. Payne asking for a state
ment OF the case. In reply the Postmaster
General said that Senator Ball had not
protested against the removal of Miss Todd.
put acknowledged the agreement by which
the patronage was divided. He stated that
senator Alice did make charges against
Miss Todd to the effect that she was active
In politics against him and that she had
worked In the interest of the election of a
fusion candidate for the legislature who
was voted for by republicans and demo-
crats IN opposition to candidate voted for
only by republicans The result of this
eiec.ion. ne said, was that the fusion can
dldate received only something over 300
votes and the republican candidate had
over go votes Senator Alice claimed that
that result was an indication that Miss
Iodd was not Endorsed by majority of the
people In her community and he wished to
have her removed in order that some one
more representative could be appointed to
the place.
The report Of the Postmaster General on
this case went to the President two DAYS
ago. ana 1t Is expected that in a short
Tune the latter will take some action in
relation to it, either to Indicate his an
prevail or to cause a reversal Of the action.

AN INVESTIGATOR.
The Death Of Mamie Brown Was Sus-
piciouS,

Inc Death OF Mamie Brown Was SuS.
picious.
An Investigation OF the death Of Mamie
Brown. the colored woman who died at the
Emergency Hospital yesterday morning,
presumably from the effects Of morphine,
as published In yesterdays Star, is being
made by the detectives and officers of the
first precinct. It was not until after the
woman died that the police were told Of the
circumstances under which the morphine
was taken. Then another colored woman.
inmate of the 1874 street house, said she
had witnessed white man give the woman
an injection Of the drug. The morphine.
she stated. was put in her arm by means Of
an instrument. Her story to the police Is
that she was called into the room OF the
Brown woman about o'clock to witness
the operation. A short time after the de-
parture OF the man Mamie Brown was
taken sick. She became unconscious and
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
about o'clock yesterday morning, where
she died seven hours later. Her body was
removed to the morgue. where 1t IS held to
await the result of the police Investigation
that is being made. This morning Detec-
tive Hewlett was sent to Harpers Ferry on
the case with the witness. and inquiry was
also made OF the Baltimore police for a man
whose description was given. 1t is the
claim Of the police that the morphine was
administered by a dope" flend. It is
stated that many women who live In the
dfsreputable section are In the habit of
taking morphine in this way Many Of
them are able to administer the drug with
out assistance, but others depend upon men
who visit the houses and give the intec-
tons for money consideration. An au-
topsy will not be performed unless there is
evidence to warrant the belief that the wo-
mans death was actually caused by the
drug. 1t is stated that she had been sick
and frequently complained Of severe pains
The woman formerly lived In Maryland
near Baltimore. and her body will probably
be sent there for burial

Banks Desire to Retire Circulation and

National banks continue to flood the con-

the retirement Of circulation. that they may
gain possession of their bonds held Sc
curity for circulation to sell at the prevail
ing high prices. Applications for the re-
tirement of circulation in September reached
the legal s. 900. 600 limit yesterday, and the
list for that, menth was closed. Applica-
tions came in. today for the retirement of
large sums of circulation in October. the
total applications for that month at
o'clock this afternoon being $1,50O,O00. 1t
Is considered likely that banks will be dis
bonds as long as the price of bonds remains
at the present high figures. due to the fact
that Secretary Shaw recently began putting
out deposits with a number Of banks.
