People show the same kind of neg

care of their bodies but they have no

CRUh MUST AWAIT
SENATE CONFIRMATION
No Pay for Collector of Port at
Charleston.

DIR. w. II. Crum. the colored collector
OF the port of Charleston, S. c.. must
serve without compensation until his
nomination has been confirmed by the
Senate. The Treasury Department yes
terday held that Crum's account of fees
and expenses could not be allowed. The
decision was based on this paragraph of
the statutes:
NO money shall be paid from the
Treasury, as salary, to any person APP
pointed during the recess of the Senate,
to I'LL vacancy in any existing office, If
the vacancy existed while the Senate was
in session, and was by law required to be
filled by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, until such appointment
has been confirmed by the Senate"
The paragraph applies particularly to
the case of Dr. Crum, and as the collector
receives his remuneration in the form OF
fees and expenses he has no recourse.
The decision is not unusual, the statutes
having several times been construed In
like manner.

Fireman Dover Is Dismissed
Postmaster General Payne gave out
this morning the result of the investi
cation into the charges against the en-
gineer'S division of the Postoflce by
James Dover. a fireman. Dover averred
that there was fragrant favoritism in
the manner of distributing assignments;
that some of the employees were allowed
to get drunk and stay away as much
as they pleased, while others had to
work without holiday, and that he had
been an object of special persecution.
Mr.. Payne said that he had removed
Dover about year ago. but vas pre-
vailed upon by friends of the fireman to
reinstate him. The Postmaster Gen
erals statement is in part as follows:
THE Postmaster General, upon full
consideration of the case, believes that
the action of Mr.. Dover in making the
frivolous and scandalous charges, giving
them publicity, and then falling utterly
to sustain them, is to the detriment OF
the service, and was calculated to dis
credit the department and subversive of
all discipline. 1t is therefore ordered
that he be discharged for the good of
the service, 10 take effect this day
