OF Mississippi to-day urged Postmaster
General Payne to have the mails for India
nola sent to Heathmann. Miss. instead OF
Greenville. pending the reopening Of the
Indianola office. Heathmann is four miles
from Indianola, while Greenville Is thirty
miles distant
Mr.. Payne stated that II the Post Once
at Heathmann was able to handle the ad-
ditional mail the change would be made:
Senator McI.aurin also made the same re-
quest OF the President. s. -.
Senator McLaurin says there Is no dispp-
sition ON the part of the peace authorities
Of Indianola to give assurance In an ofncial
way that the Postmistress. Mrs. Cox. will
be protected in her personal safety, because.
he says there has been no intimation that
she was in the least danger.
The giving Of such assurances as are de-
manded by the Post-Omce Department
would be an admission. in the opinion Of
the people and officials OF Indianola, that
some danger threatened Mrs Cox.
