HEARING POSTPONED IN
ALLEGED ASSAULT CASE

A hearing in the case of John w.
Bowman, a carpenter, of &c Hill
street, Bloomfield. against Halsey j.
S. Vought, of Lake street that town,
was postponed by Police Recorder
James B. Mckee last night until
next Wednesday night in order to
give Bowman a chance to produce
two witnesses to an alleged assault
on him by Vought about three weeks
ago. Bowman was recently dis
charged from the Mountainside Hos
pital. Montclair, where he had been
in critical condition with injuries
which, he declared. he sustained
when Vought knocked him down.
Vought denied the allegation, al
though he admitted there had been
bad blood between him and Bowman
for several months. Yought had been
under $1,000 bail, which was reduced
last night by Recorder Mckee to
$500
Vought was represented in court
by Raymond T.. Davis, who asked
that the case against his client be
dismissed for lack of evidence. The
recorder, however, decided to give
Bowman a chance to get his wit
nesses. Bowman said he thought 1t
was up to the police to produce the
witnesses and have them there last
night.

POSTAL EMPLOYEE
REDUCED IN RANK
East Orange Man Figured in
Probe of Alleged Political
Activity.

It was disclosed today that William
Lindeman, who figured prominently
in the recent investigation by postal
authorities of rumors that certain
employees in the East Orange post
Office had interested themselves in the
candidacy of some of the aspirants
for postmaster of the latter city, has
been removed as superintendent OF
the office. He is now working in the
registry department.
Whether his removal as superin-
tendent is the result of the investiga-
ton is not known, as the findings of
the inspectors were never announced.
1t is said that Lindeman was sub
iected to a grilling by inspectors on
other violations of department rules
recently.
John Coen, one of the Oldest EN-
ployees in the East Orange system,
and who had charge of the Ampere
office. has been made superintendent
OF the main office. George Curtiss,
who was in the main office, has been
selected to succeed Mr.. Coen. The
position of superintendent pays a
salary of $1,000 a year. 1t is under
stood that Lindemans salary has
been reduced to $1,000.
Quite a surprise was caused in the
city by the announcement that the
Washington authorities were con-
Quoting the investigation, as one Of
the strictest rules in the service pro-
hibits any of the employees partici-
pating in political matters. The ru-
mors had 1t that the suspected en-
ployees had solicited names to the
petition of former Postmaster Ben
jamin Hilton, who was a candidate
for reappointment
When questioned by the inspectors
Lindeman is said to have emphatieal-
ly denied having interested himself
In behalf of Mr. Hilton. II was de-
clared after the suspected employees
were given a hearing that one or two
of them acknowledged guilt. Linde-
man has been employed in the office
for many years and because of his
familiarity with the workings of the
department he is considered a valu-
able man.
