AFTERRURAL CARRIERS
Postal Department Making an Inves-
tigation into the Threats Made by
the Rural Carriers Association to
Certain congressman Who Were Up
for Re- reelection.

for Re- election.
Washington, Dec. 3. - Several weeks
ago In the heat of the presidential
campaign, complaints were made to
the president and postmaster general
by several members of congress who
were candidates for reelection that they
were being made victims of system
attic plan on the part Of the Rural Let
ter Carriers Association to defeat them
unless they should accede to certain
demands. One Of these demands was
that the carriers should have an in
crease in pay. The complaints filed
mentioned President Cunningham Of
the association as one of those respon-
sible for the attempted "hold-up" as
it was termed by the victims. BY di-
rection of the president an investiga-
ton of the matter was instituted by
the postmaster general. 1t has been in
progress for two or three weeks and
lntimation is given that thus far it
tends to substantiate the charges made
by representatives in congress. What
the result of the investigation may be
is not disclosed.

New York, Dec. 3. Complications
continue to multiply In the strange
case Of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick, whose
tangled financial affairs have brought
her into note during the past week.
From the moment the light OF publicity
was turned in her direction by the suit
of Herbert D. Newton, OF Brookline,
Mass, who sought to recover loans ag-
gregating nearly two hundred thous-
and, every day has added one or more
new sensational features to the case.
Now, with her affairs practically ta-
ken ou. CT her hands thru the appoint
ment OF receiver In a Cleveland court
yesterday, II seems that solution OF
the mystery In the affair cannot long
be deferred. At the same time rumor
continues to be persistently busy and
all sorts of reports are rife.
One story was that an attachment
on whatever personal property Mrs.
Chadwick may have in this city was
Threatened to secure a claim held by Il
fashionable dressmaker. A check on
the Wade Park Banking Company, of
Cleveland, for a $1,000. which had been
given in part payment Of the account,
had gone to protest. 1t was said, and
when this was learned the creditors
at once began arrangements to secure
the claim by fling an attachment.
Another statement made today, but
without any official authority, was

showed that Mrs. Chadwick was still

that Japan is fighting for all Asia in
