TWO POSTAL CLERKS ARRESTED.
Callahan Accused OF Rinlne Letters Reg.
istered for Sweden.


John J. Callahan, a 81, 800 clerk in the
foreign branch Of the New York Post Office,
was arrested by Inspector NJ. II. Boyle
yesterday, charged with rining registered
letters bound for Europe. The postal
officials say that Callahan has been steal
ing from the registered mails for more
than year, and that his arrest clears up
one Of the most puzzling cases they have
had to deal with. Callahan, they say,
touched only letters addressed to Nor
wegian and Swedish towns and later mar
rowed down his operations to mail des-
tined only for single town in Sweden,
In this way he concentrated the complaints
he knew would come in and made 1t appear
that the responsibility for the losses rested
with the postal authorities in Sweden.
Callahan was caught only after a long
series of tests and check letters had been
used by the post Office inspectors. He
was apprehended, the officials say, with
one of the rihed letters upon his person.
containing a ticket Of the White Star line
worth S35 and addressed to j. Peterson,
Hofmantorp Sweden.
Callahan is married and lives in Harlem
He has been in the postal service here

missioner Shields and released, pending
examination, under 81, 500 bail.

Contemporaneously with te restoration
Of harmony between the MoCarren and anti
MoCarren Democrats in the Seventh Assem-
bly, district in Brooklyn factional fight
has been started by the Republicans, with
United States Shipping Commissioner Harry
A. Hamburg and James P. Connell as the
opposing leaders.
For several years Hamburg had been the
undisputed chief in the district, and his
friends, holding that his unhorsing by Connell
a year ago was brought about by political
treaohery. have been planning to elect him
leader again at the September primaries.
The Connellites accuse the Shipping Com
missioner Of unfair distribution OF some of
the funds Odell sent over to Brooklyn in the
last campaign. 1t is alleged that the entire
amount sent to Brooklyn for campaign
purposes was $4,000, Of which each election
charged at a recent gathering of Connels
followers that in two cases at least. so far
as the Seventh Assembly district was con-
cerned, the money went to others than
