METCALF SAYS
CHARGE IS UNJUST
Former Head of Money Or
der Office Wants His Dis
missal Suspended
TALKS WITH POSTMASTER GENERAL

Washington, June 49, James T.
Metcalf, formerly superintendent OF
the money order system OF the post
oiilce department, had a lengthy con-
ference with the postmaster general
He knew that his conduct was under
investigation, but he had no suspicion
OF his removal until Wednesday
night, when he was served with the
formal notification while at the dinner
table. There is an inclination on the
part OF some to question the accuracy
for the information upon which the
postmaster general acted.
Postmaster General Payne later re-
ceived the following letter from Mr.
Metcalf. asking a suspension OF the
order OF dismissal until his complete
defense may be heard:
"Hon. II. c. Payne Postmaster Cen
eral:
81 cannot but feel that under ordi-
nary circumstances such summary ac'
iion as has been taken In my case
would not have been had without Civ
ing me chance 10 be heard by your
self In my own defense
1T must be due TO the heated, ex
cited and congested condition Of M
fairs In the postofice department that
the postmaster general has consented
TO this summary dismissal OF a man
who for the best part Of his life since
attaining manhood has devoted his
whole thought and being TO the honest
discharge OF his duties to the govern
ment and to the best interests OF the
postal service, In which no stain Of
suspicion has ever heretofore attached
to him.
"Justice to myself, my family an'
my friends requires that I should az
peal to the postmaster general TO re
call this order Of summary dismissa
, and accord me an opportunity to shoN
, that in this matter, as in all others
was consulting only the best interest
OF the postofIice money order servic
In whatever did concerning the Hei
. man bid, and not my own self-interes
and with no thought OF myself OF m
family. as is made 70 appear In Oh
charge against me.
"The common sense Of justice an
the right OF defense. which my scor
OF years of faithful public service el
titles me TO. must impel the postma
ter general to grant me this oppo
! tunity OF demonstrating to him this
. HIS action has been hasty and uniu'
10 a faithful public servant, who ha
devoted his life to the best interest
OF his government.
''The suspension Of your order is r.
spectfully asked until such time 0
you may hear from me-"

COUNCILMAN WANTED
S400 EACH FOR A VOTE
Alleged Bribery Charge
Against Scranton Officials
to be,.Investigated

Scranton, Pa, June ia special
committee was appointed by the Sc
lect council to investigate an allega-
tion that eight members of the body
had banded together to hold up the
Dalton Street Railway Company for
S4OO apiece.
At the last meeting of council the
ordinance granting the company a
franchise was to come up for passage,
but the quorum was broken by oppon-
ents of the measure. Last night John
p. QuinRan, member of the 18th ward,
arose in council at the opening of the
meeting and stated that a promoter
of the company, w. p Boland, had
informed him that Councilman ID. B..
Evans, OF the Fourth ward, had said
that a meeting of eight councilmen
had been held in his (Quinnan's) Of
fee. and that they wanted s400 apiece
for their votes. Mr. Quinnan turned
on Mr. Evans and demanded of him
to say whether or not he had told this
to Boland.
Mr.. Evans only reply was that he
had never been in Mr.. Quinnan's Of
fee. Mr.. Quinnan demanded an in
vestigation, with the consequence that
a special committee of five was ap-
pointed to make a thorough investiga-
tion.
