 It will be remembered that the New Decatur office was discontinued and con- solidated with. the Decatur office July 1 by the, postmaster general. After -he order had gone Into effect President Taft did the impossible thing of countermand- ing the order. re-establishing the New-De- catur office and re-appointng MT.

Statement Made by Harris

Tn a statement made to a representa- tive of The Age-Herald, William H. Har- ris says that he was the one who run into w. A. Malone Sunday night and that there were some inaccuracies in the re- port as given out by the police.
 He states that he and friend were riding the motorcycle along the avenue at the rate of six miles an hour. When they were in the middle Of the block he saw a buggy directly in front of them which, he says, was standing in the mid ole of the road.
 He tried to make a sharp turn. but as the roads were slippery from the rain, he skidded and hit the buggy. He states that both he and his friend were badly hurt and after he had taken his motor cycle in the yard of a neighboring house, he decided to take his friend to town on the car.
 The statement made by a witness to the effect that he ran away is incorrect, he said for he did not leave the scene of the accident until he had made arrange ments to leave his motorcycle. He states that Malone was standing under tree in the middle of the road and that the accident occurred when his machine skidded.

at least four full quarters as fourth class office so as to have a basis upon which to estimate average receipts.
 The matter has been compromised by allowing the office to be re-established as fourth class office for the remainder of
 this quarter. The case is entirely new and has caused no end of worry at the
 Washington end.
 It is probably the first case in the his- otry of the department that town of 5000 inhabitants will have been served with fourth class pOstoffice. But the people of New Decatur can perhaps make out with 1t for one month rather than be served from Decatur through a sub station as they are now. There can be no free delivery of mails from fourth class office. Sena- tor Johnston has worked hard to get the matter adjusted and secured agree
 ment to the plans which will be rec
 commended to the Postmaster Geenral | tomorrow.
