MALONEY ON DECK.
New Postmaster Assumes Duties
Of Office Saturday and is
in Full Control.
FRANTZ GETS A NEW JOB
The Former Assistant Postmaster is
Made General Manager for the
Wisconsin Telephone Conn
pany in Kenosha.

Postmaster John B. Ma1oney as
sumed the charge of the Kenosha
postoffice Saturday, taking the
place of Captain Charles Frantz, and
at the same time Charles B. Reinardy
was installed as assistant postmaster
in place of Charles Frantz, Jr. These
were the only changes made in the Of
fee, and the business of the office is
running along just as if nothing had
happened. Postmaster Ma1oney had
been under the tute1age of Capt.
Frantz for the past two days and last
night the two men worked until near
ly O'Clock in getting things ready
for the transfer this morning. Cap
tain Frantz was at the office today,
but the transfer is now fully COM
pleted and Mr.. Maloney and his as
sistants are now in full swing.
| A call at the Office late in the morn
ing found the new official in his little
cubby hole of an office with the desk
Uttered with papers. He was looking
about to get his bearings.
st is impossible to say much at this
time" said Mr.. Maloney, Gin regard
to the plans for the Office, but we ex-
pect to carry on the business just as
well as we can and hope to make the
service just as efficient as it is posi-
BILE The work Of repairing the build
ing will be started just as soon as the
owner of the building gets his lease
back from Washington and every eff
fort will be made to have it completed
as soon as possible. Captain Frantz
has been most kind in aiding me to
get the run of the work of the office
and we expect to have everything
running smoothly in short time"
| Mr.. Ma1oney is closely in touch with
the demands of the postoffice in Ke-
nosha, and the good work that has
been done by the retiring postmaster
in the way of urging repairs will not
be allowed to be forgotten by the men
at Washington who are in charge of
the appropriations. The fight for
government building in Kenosha will
be taken up by Mr.. Ma1oney as soon
as he has learned the routine of the
Office. The postoffice bill. so far as
kenosha is concerned, seems to have
died out, but there is little doubt but
that it will be pushed with all posi-
BILE vigor.
There is strong possibility that
Postmaster Ma1oney will be forced to
give up his private office, as the plans
for the changes in the building will
not leave room for it.
Frantz to Manage Telephone Office.
| With his retirement from the office
Of assistant postmaster this morning
Charles Frantz, Jr., was placed in the
position of manager of the Kenosha
branch of the Wisconsin Telephone
company to succeed Mr.. Powers, who
has been in charge of the office for the
past four or five months. Mr.. Powers
will continue in the employ of the
Kenosha office and will have some
office under the new manager.
For some time the Wisconsin com
pany has been making an effort to Sc
cure the services of a local man as
manager of the Kenosha office.
| Mr.. Frantz is we'll adapted for the
| position and should be able to prove
great aid for the company in Kenosha.
He took charge of his new work this
morning.
