Postmaster Hodnett, Who Has Been
Trying to Quit for Year.

4 Washington dispatch yesterday
contained Information that has been
anticipated here for more than year.
It announced the appointment of a new
postmaster here and J. oscar Mullen
is designated as the lucky or unlucky
party as the case may be. Mr.. Mullen
was one Of number who have been
on their nerves edge for more than
year while the important question has
been undecided. Naturally Mr. Mullen
was considerably elated over his sue
cess and other applicants for the posi-
ton correspondingly depressed How
ever. il is likely that none of them had
the same feeling over the outcome that
the present incumbent. ]. J. Hodnett,
felt He has been trying to quit since
his second term Of office expired year
ago. He feels that he has served full
time in the capacity Of postmaster for
he has held down the position for an
even ten years having been appointed
by President Mckinley i'm 1897. and he
is glad TO quit for even the best Of jobs
grow tiresome in time. He was reap
pointed by President Roosevelt for an
other term and at its expiration resign
ed his position to take effect upon the
appointment Of his successor. Upon the
confirmation of Mr.. Mullen's appoint
ment and his qualifying for the office,
the transfer will be made. This Will
occupy a couple of weeks at the least
and if the process is as slow as was the
appointment, it may require many
weeks. As soon as it is possible for him
TO leave, Mr Hodnett expects TO take
a run into California for business and
pleasure. He has no intention of leav-
ing Tempe, however, as he has other
interests here that demands his atten-
ton

which the work has been done. 1t is
without doubt as badly done as it ev-

What little has been taken out has
been thrown so close to the edge Of
the banks next the water that the sand
Is already dropping back into the canal

ances at least 20 per cent win fall back
into the canal to be thrown out again

MESA
ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
J. c. Sullivan, for : Time Assistant M
&P. Local Agent, in Limbo

]. c. Sullivan, the young man who
was employed as assistant agent here
at the NJ. & p. station during the lat
ter part of December and the first part
of January this year. has been arrested
at Winslow for embeZZlement. Sulli-
van while here was acting in the place
of Mr.. Hopkins the regular assistant
who was on a vacation at his old home
in Texas and as soon as he returned
Sullivan was given his release. Sulli-
van often mentioned the fact that he
was booze fighter. but while employ
ed in the Mesa office was not given q
chance to satisfy his appetite. He made
few acquaintance and is hardly known
here.
According TO reports Sullivan was
night operator At Sentinel. a little sta
ton on the Southrn Pacific main line
where passengers take the stage for
Aqua Caliente. when he sent to Los
Angeles for a ring valued at $4,000
which was to be accepted c. o. d. The
ring came and it is alleged that Sulli-
van who was the only man on duty at
the time destroyed the way bill and
took possession Of the ring. The Wells
Fargo agent had no means of knowing
that the ring had been sent as he had
not received the way bill. However. it
is said that Sullivan became exercised
over the matter and came to this place,
where he remained until the arrival of
Mr.. Hopkins from Texas. From here
he went to Kingman where he sent to
Sentinel for his time check, when the
authorities got on his trail. He went
from Kingman to Winslow and was ar
rested there. He will be brought to
Phoenix for trial.

CAR SHORTAGE IS
TO Be RELIEVED
DECISIVE ACTION TAKEN AT
CHICAGO
Penalty of Five Dollars TO Be Imposed
for Each offense Where Cars
Are Not Promptly Re-
turned

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 24.-Decisive action
was taken here by the American Rail-
way association to remedy the car
shortage, which for several months has
been causing so much worry among
shippers throughout the country.
The failure of some roads to furnish
sufficient quota of equipment for their
own traffic and the failure to provide
aid to enforce proper rules for the re-
turn of foreign cars to their own roads
are responsible for the shortage, and to
remedy the evil the association today
adopted a rule to be confirmed later by
letter ballot of all the roads providing
that any railroad which hereafter shall
not promptly return to its owner after
unloading all cars consigned to 1t VIII
be penalized So for each car so mis-
used to be paid to the owner of the car
This penalty is in addition to the
per diem charge of so cents, which,
after July 1, each road must pay for
each car not it's own which may be In
its lines
In order to make the new rule more
effective the principle of publicity is
to be invoked through the instrument
tality of the so-called clearing house
recently established in Chicago.
Through the new rule the chairman
of the clearing house committee is now
authorized to send to each of the roads
a statement comprising the information
already collected as to the car loca-
tion, percentage of equipment on line
of total owned and untitled car orders.
This the association believes will en-
able each road in the country to know
exactly which lines are delinquent in
the matter of furnishing adequate cars
or failing to return cars to their home
lines.
