Washington. D. c.. MAY 7.-Postmaster
Gen. Burleson's purpose, as already
forecasted, to nominate Garter b. keeIe

few days before the Democratic adj

acknowledgment of Mr.. keene's services
and yet was not without some embar-

Mr. Hitchcock presumed. to fill an i'm

might have been more courteous to al
low the vacancy to remain till after Mr..
Burleson came in.
There were other officials of the de-
partment, whom Mr.. Hitchcock promot-
ed under like embarrassing circumstances
to themselves. Some of them the new
postmaster general has felt called upon
to denote. He had no intention of such
action, however, in the case of Mr..
Keene, in whose integrity and ability
he has full confidence. He has been
planning to do something better for Mr..
