?. ). BARKER DENIES
 COL[|ER'S ARTICLE
Mobile Republican Declares Investigation Is Not a
 Political Affair

Mobile. April 2-tSpecial.)-In a state- ment given out here tonight P. D. Bar ker postmaster at Mobile, and national republican committeeman from Alabama. strongly denies the charges made in an article in the current issue or Collier Weekly that postoffiee powers are being used for political purposes in Alabama Golfers Weekly prints letters pufport- ing to be from PostDaster Barker, "hich tell of plans of the removal of the post masters at Ashland and Lineyille. Ala.
 ..Barkers plan is to force the repub- lican politicians of Alabama Into line Tor Taft, says the article. He proposes to do it by promising to clean out pro Roosevelt officeholders."
 Postmaster Barkers statement IS as follows: If the writer of the article Ill Golfers had only given the entire let ters and not garbled or changed them III any way, the letters would be found 10 convey an entirely different meaning 10 that which Golfers has placed on them.
 .sThe facts are that MT. James w. King and others charged that the postmaster at Ashland, Ala, ,rhad tempered with the mall, that luls NNS S''-tS unsatisfactory service to the public and was unfit to hold the position of post master. MT. King also made charges of unfitness against other postmasters. MT. King requested me to urge that the charges be investigated by the postoffice department, giving the name sof witnesses who would substantiate the charges. This proceeding Is the same as is being done every day when there Is anything wrong in the conduct of the postoffice or when persons think that there is good cause for complaint. l took up the charges with the postoffice department and l suppose that the matter was or will be duly in vestigated. To say that there is anything of a political nature in 1t, Is far as the department or MT. Taft are concerned, is A deliberate falsehood and misrepresenta- tion.
 'The other parts of my letter in the dissected form in which Golfers has given them are converted into political claptrap for the advantage of the ambl- tlons of ex-President Roosevelt, who gave the most fragrant example of reprisal upon an officeholder when he summarily removed from the office of internal rev. enue collector in Alabama, the eve of a convention, J. A. Bingham, the pre- decessor of the present incumbent"
