 He said the men doing the shooting were negro soldiers. pr. Charles Thorn, a dentist testified that he heard group of men firing at the rear of his house, and shouting commands to each other He gave as his judgment that the voices were those of negroes. F. A.

SOMETHING DOING IN PO, DEPART TMENT Change of Policy Keeps Post
 masters Guessing MUST DELIVER DELEGATES The Fate of Colonel Hughes of Tennes- see, Taft Man, Is Puzzling.
 They Drop In to
 sa See'
MUST DELIVER DELEGATES

Washington, May 16-(Specal.) )-From what politicians from the different states have to say there is ground for the state , ment that the postoffice department has radically changed It's policy with refer ence to the appointment of postmasters Things may be running the same IS usual, but It does not so appear upon the sur face. It may be that MT. Cortelyou was able to do things in the postoffice de- partment without attracting attention, while his successor in the postoffice de- partment is not. At any rate only 0 few months ago under Cortelyou the post office department officials were turning down the spoilsmongers right and left and appointing men with very little re- gard to a dominant faction.
 Senator's, representatives, and referees" were in chronic state of kicking over the futilty of making recommendations Some of the referees" only threatened resignation. About the time Mir. Cortel- you left the postoffce to take charge of the treasury, postmasters throughout the country, especially In the south, where patronage controls the organlza- ton, began to get uneasy.
 The postmasters are dropping into town a dozen or so a day trying to find out the lay of the land. Most of them con fess they are puzzled over the situation but all of them realize that something is going on. One of them from a presi- dential office in the south was here to- day. He has been talking Taft, but hay ing learned of the fate of Colonel Hughes of Columbia Tenn, this postmaster now speaks of the overwhelming demand for the President for a second elective term.
 At all events the appointing powers are getting busy, and those who have a se- cure hold on the organization and can show where they control the next dele gation from their state to the national convention, are in fair way to get about anything they want
