ORDERS PROBE OF
ATTACKS ON FIRTH
Burleson investigates Charges
Against Candidate for Phil
lipsburg Postmastership.
IFrom n stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Post-
master General Burleson has sent an
inspector to Phillipsburg to investi-
gate the charges made against Joseph
Firth, who is one of the eighteen can
didates for postmaster of that town.
Rev. II. B. Leach, minister of the
NJ. e. Church of that place came to
the capital week ago with a delega-
ton of citizens and filed the charges
With the postmaster-ge In the
meantime a large number of women
of the place have made written pro-
tests to Mrs. Wilson, the wife of
the President, asking her to use her
influence against the appointment of
Joseph Firth as postmaster. The allie
cations made against him are of an
unprintable character.
About the same time the clergyman
and his fellow citizens We're at the
post office department, Joseph Firth
and a delegation of his friends were
in the Capitol interviewing Senator
MARITIME and urging him to use his
influence to have Firth named The
senator good-naturedly took Firth
and the delegation to see the post
master-general and they pooh poohed
the charges, Senator MARITIME ex-
planned that the appointment did
not belong to him, but as he knew
Firth to be a good fellow" he
thought the charges, as they were of
long standing, ought to be outlawed.
Letters Are Sent to Hart.
Conressman Archibald Hart. in
whose district Phillipsburg Is situated
has been receiving letters this week
telling him of things said about him
in public and private by those who
are opposed to Firth. The congress
man appeared to be highly incensed
when the Star correspondent saw
him. He had heard that he had been
attacked from the pulpit by the Rev.
Mr.. Leach and he resented it because
he has not formally sent in the name
of the man who Is to be postmaster.
He said: THE office will not become
vacant until April II. ] have named
no man for it as yet. Among the
others beside Mr.. Firth who have
applied for it are: Clarence Gariss,
p. H. Burke, Thomas Kempsey. e. e.
Carhart, A. l.. Alpaugh, John J.
Murray, e. j. Cox, and a few others
who do not want their names men
toned until they are quite certain to
be selected for the place.
In letter to Rev. Mr.. Leach, Con-
gresham Hart wrote: II wrote all
these candidates to let them see my
mind was open. The post office de-
partment lately expressed its disin-
clination to consider Mr.. Firths
name. l told him so and he came

to Washington with several associates
and went direct to Senator Marines
office. The senator escorted these
gentlemen to the postmaster general,
first telephoning me. | met them
there. Senator MARITIME described his
experience and relations with Mr..
Firth, and urged Mr.. Burleson not
to consider the charges. Mr.. Burle-
son first reading the charges, turned
to me and asked what my view Ssas,
and l answered that my personal
inclinations were in favor of Mr..
Firth. And they were and now are.
But in judging him | attach none
of those wrongs to him. You and
others have told and written me of
them, and others have told and writ
ten me that they are false. | attach
none Of those wrongs to him because
prefer to contemplate his better
side. 1t makes one narrow, small and
contemptibly mean to view and ex-
pose only the faults, and not the
virtues of others.
viii Study Candidates Record.
when the Phillipsburg situation
Is decided, so far as I am concerned.
1t will be after I have studied the
record of the candidate I favor, and
when l have named him. 1t will not be
because of fear of any voter. but be-
cause ] think am right In my last
primary campaign ! was opposed Ia
large part by those who are opposing
Mr.. Firth now. He, on the other
hand, supported me in that campaign.
l lost Phillipsburg by several hun
dred votes. If, therefore, I thought
of self, I would Immediately suggest
the candidate of these who oppose
Mr.. Firth, so that l might reverse the
order this year. BY the same token.
II I were influenced by resentment, I
have now an opportunity to admins
ter punishment to those who oppose
me, but / am not doing il.
I'm short, I have before me the pic
ture of a man who is charged with
wrongdoing covering period OF
twelve or fifteen years. | am i'm
pressed by the fact that since many
of these things were alleged to have
been done, this man has been elected
mayor of Phillipsburg several times
by a substantial majority. He, him
self, as a human being must have
some pride in his reputation: and he
has a family. | hesitate before Off
cially declaring that he is too immo
raj to serve the government. and |
have notable precedent for this char
table view. We are none of us with
out sin. and | shall not throw stones"
Mr.. Hart gave out this statement
as to his position in the matter at
present:
I'm this. as in every other case,
threats will only direct my considera-
ton away from the person who
threatens. I am not going to be hur-
ried into the error of officially declar-
ing any candidate immoral. I may
sit at my desk and in one moment
blast the reputation and the happi-
ness-indeed, the very life of. not only
a man, but his family. While l real
lie that the forces in Phillipsburg are
large and divided and that all eyes
are centered upon this office, I am
putting self aside.
The office will be filled before the
present term expires, on April Il. The
department is considering the subject.
just as | am. The people of Phillips
burg should rest patient while this is
being done. Hasty acts are usually
repented."
