garded as Offensive.

in the Post Office Department, who acted
as disbursing officer of the department at
the ST. Louis exposition, was dismissed
from the service today by order of the Pres
ident. Brownlow was charged with i'm
pertinence and characterization and, as no
declined to withdraw his offensive language.
his dismissal followed.
While Postmaster General Payne was yet
alive, he wrote Brownlow directing that
he send to the department a statement OF
his receipts and disbursements. In re-
Spouse Brownlow forwarded the aggregate
sums of his receipts and disbursements.
The Postmaster General then ordered
him to submit to the department an item
lied statement of the moneys he had ham
died. This Brownlow declined to do, ac-
companying his refusal with statements to
the Postmaster General which were consd-
cred offensive He evidently felt that the
demand of Mr.. Payne was reflection upon
his honor.
Postmaster General Payne presented the
matter to the President. who gave orders
that Brownlow should be dismissed from
the service. Prior to Mr.. Payne's death no
action was taken in the case and Ii became
an inheritance of Postmaster General
Wynne When Mr.. Wynne took up the
subject he induced the President to consent
to allow Brownlow to continue In the serv-
ice. provided he should withdraw his or
fensiye statements to the Postmaster Gen.
eral.
BroWnlow's accounts had been found TO
be correct. and Mr. Wynne told him no re-
Elections had been made ON his integrity
Despite this assurance however Brown,
low in letter to Postmaster General
Wynne refused to withdraw the statements
he previously had made. An order Tor ms
dismissal was signed today.
