however that the proportion Of COM
fnercial paper accepted will be larger
than was at first planned.
This. 1t was said, was one of the
results Of the conferences already held
with the bankers from southern and
central western states. At these con-
'fefences 1t was urged upon Secretary
McAdoo that good commercial paper
passed upon by either the sub.treas-
uries or the clearing house committees
would be ample for the amounts to be
deposited in the various cities thus far
decided upon. The bankers also re-
quested Mr.. McAdoo to modify his first
insistlnce that at least ten per cent
of the security be given bonds.
The apportionment Of the funds will
not be begun until after the last con-
ference, although tentative arrange
ments for distributions have been
made !. The department expects to
place at least half fthe $4,000, 900
in the cotton states and the deposits
are to be made in that section first,
because Of the earlier movement Of
the cotton crop.

(By w. w. Jermane.l


Washington, Aug. 12.-Most of the
North Dakota congressional delegation
have started another fight against the
postoffice department in the case OF
II. G. Plumley. postmaster at Fargo.
About ten days ago the department
requested Plumley to resign, but he
would not do so until he had informa-
ton whether any charges were made
against him. The North Dakota sem
ators took the matter up with the de-
partment and went over the record on
the case and discovered nothing
against Plumley's efficiency as a post
master
They assert, however, that the
resignation Of Plumley was requested
because Of some articles printed in the
Fargo Forum in the campaigns of
1908 and 1910 attacking Governor
John Burke. and that the attempt to
get Plumley out Of Office may be laid
at Governor Burke's door.
Plumley was manager of the Forum
in the years named. although he stated
to the postoff1ce inspectors. who made
an inspection of his office. that he was
not in active charge Of the paper. The
North Dakota senators have advised
Plumley not to resign and have served
notice on the postoffice department
that, II a democrat Is named as post
master at Fargo,.the nomination will
be held up Indefinitely.
