REMOVAL OF POGUE.
Texas POstmaater Was Too Active In
 Politics. A3

Washington, Jan. 1S.--A protest against the recent removal of Post master Oscar Pogue of Blum. Texas. who is the president of the National League of Postmasters of the fourth class, was made today to the Post office Department by Representative Ben of Texas.
 Mir. Pogue Is accused of having been been absent without leave from his duties for two months in connection with the organization of the fourth class postmasters. It is claimed that he, made repeated efforts to secure an- swers from the department to letters he wrote here asking why he had been dismissed and successor appointed in his ofice and finally, 1t is stated, was advised that the department would not tolerate the attempts of the post masters to organize for "political or other i'm .3roper purposes"
 The right of the department 10 re- quire fourth class postmasters to re- main at their oface except after the granting of leave of absence is ques- tioned in this case, but the postal regu- lations, 1t is stated. amply cover this point and require them to secure leave oS absence before departing from their offices.

DISTRIBUTION DEMANDED.
Action Against Directors oa Amer1c'
 Shin Bufldiug Company.

Action Against Directors ea American
 ship Buflding Company.
 Cleveland, O., Jan. 1S.--Attorney Carl Dautel, a stockholder acting for him- self and other stockhoiders of the American Shipbuilding Company made application In common pleas court to- day that mandatory injunction against the directors of the American Shipbuflding Company be issued. com manding them to distribute among the holders of the common stock an ac- cumulated surplus of s3,67S.442.
 This action on the part of Mr. Dautel was the climax of an exciting meet ing of the directors this afternoon. Mir. Dautel claims to be the owner of fifty shares of common stock and says that since the organization of the company in 1889 the usual ' per cent dividend was paid upon the preferred stock. but that no great part of the surplus earnings was distributed among the holders of the common stock as redufr- ed by law. The petition for injunc- ton against further delay in declar- ing a dividend on the common stock states that on January 30. 1904 after a seven per cent dividend had been paid on tho preferred stock there remained a surplus of ss.e7s.442 but that the directors '.wrongfully failed and neg lected to distribute any part thereof to holders of the common stock although repeatedly requested to do so.''
 The directors met again today and Attorney DauteI for the holders of the common stock urged dividend. but was again refused. The directors adjourned to meet again June 30, 1905.
