ENRIeHT IS NOT AFTER TREATS Job

M. J. Enright, who was deposed last
spring as first deputy to u. S. Marshal
Morgan Treat, viii not oppose that
official when his term of Office expires
next month. Ever since Major Enright
retired it has been an open secret that
he would apply for Mr.. Treats position,
with some assurance that he would Sc,
cure the appointment. His withdrawal
Is taken to indicate that Mr.. Treat will
be renominated.
It is rumored that Major Enright,
who is now employed in the Office OF
Revenue Agent Chapman, has assur-
ances that he will secure an even more
lucrative appointment than that OF
marshal.
