The report of the inspectors OF the
New York city postoffice is in possession
of the Postmaster General, but it is not
ready to be given to the public. The
inspectors recommended the dismissal OF
Postmaster Won Colt, his son Richard,
and a dozen subordinates, but it is the
belief that Assistant Attorney General
Robb's recommendation after careful ex-
animation do not advise so sweeping a
change. The New York office has been
under the inspectors probe almost con-
tinuously since last summer. President
Roosevelt today approved the recon-
mendations made By Attorney Robb and

removed.

have it if the convention and the people
were to offer it to him.

employed Barrett TO represent 1t before the

Fined for Gambling.

James Lafontaine, Charles Sanderson
and Edward Heath were each fined 500
and costs in Alexandria county yesterday
evening by Justice East The fines were
paid, after which Sheriff Palmer burned
the paraphernalia which had been cap
tured in the houses conducted by the three
men.
Sheriff Palmer, of the county, is quoted
as saying that his service OF the warrants
against the poolrooms of Jackson City
last Monday without taking the defend
ants into custody was in accordance with
his explicit instructions from the COM
monwealth's attorney, and that he had
done his full duty in the matter This
statement grows out Of a difference Of
understanding in the matterbetween the
Sheriff and the Commonwealth Attor-
ney.
The st. Asaph prosecution was given
different aspect late yesterday by the
serving of a writ of prohibition" on
Jonathan R. Hagan, a justice of the peace
OF Alexandria county. The writ prohibits
him from proceeding with the trials OF
the persons recently served with war
rants by that official for conducting a
poolrOom at St. Asaph. The writ was
served on behalf Of George Kraft and
eleven others, who were among those
nominally arrested, and itrecites thatap-
plication would be made to Judge @. E.
NicOl, of the Circuit Court, for this writ.
The effect of this, it is understood, will
be to take the matter Immediately be-
fore Judge Nicol to determine the legal
questions involved. The attorneys rep
resenting the proprietors of the pOolroom
seem confident of their legal status and
are seeking to have immediate determi-
nation Of their rights.
1t is understood that Judge Nicol has
granted the writ and may hear the case
at an early date or defer it till the next
term of his court in the county. Any
way the matter will not come up before
Justice Hagan on Saturday.
1t is now apparent that a legal battle
in the courts is on in earnest. 1t is I'M
derstOod that one of the claims maze
by the attorneys for the pOolroom pro-
prietors is that Justice Hagan has no
Jurisdiction, on the ground that the bust
ness conducted at st. Asaph Is interstate
commerce.
