EUROPA OFFICIAL is
ALLOWED HIS CLAIM

Washington, April 1.-The Senate
committee on claims favOrably report
ed today the bill to relieve ]. Law
renee Latham, postmaster at Europa,
Webster county, Miss, of the payment
of $3,09S.78 for money. stamps and
other property stolen from the post
office November Is, 1914, by unknown
persons.
The circumstances in connection
with this robbery, as outlined in the
report of the committee, are most Pc
culiar and interesting. The commit
tees report reads in part as follows:
- Lawrence Latham was postmas-
ter at Europa, Miss, during the month
Of November. 1914 On November Il
1914. he communicated with the post
office department and requested leave
OF absence to attend the bedside of his
wife. who wa ssick at ASheville. y. G.
The department wired him leave OF
absence and he left for Ashevillc on
that date. He was kept away from
home for some time by the Illness of
his wife, who afterwards died.
while he was away the office was
in charge of his assistant. On Sunday,
November Is. 1914. a registered pack
age containing $4,000, and addressed
TO the Bang of Europa, came to the
postoffiee. Miss Olive Willingham,
the clerk in the office, states that she
is confident that she placed notice
in the lock box that had been rented
by the bank, notifying it to call for
the register.
las the letter was not called for be-
fore the time for closing the office,
it was placed in the iron safe by Miss
Willingham. Only the day combina-
ton of the safe was thrown on.
During that night the office was
broken into. an entrance being effect
ed by breaking open the door OF the
building in which the postoffice is
kept. The safe was opened and this
package of money was stolen, as we'll
as stamps and other postal funds. The
gregate amount stolen was $309S.7S.
= very careful investigation was
made by the postoffice inspectors, and
there is nothing in their reports to in
dictate. that any suspicion attaches to
anyone connected with the office i'm
regard to taking the money"

Poole, county health officer OF Kinds
VIII retain his office if the decision
of Judge w. H. Potter. Circuit Court
Judge, is affirmed decision that was
arrived at Saturday at a special hear
ing.
DR.. Poole was elected by the State
Board of Health last August for term
of two years but when the new State
administration came in such political
changes were made as 10 cause the
board to elect Dr. j. NJ Ware to fill
the office.
Dr. Poole would not submit to the
ousting. however, and the matter was
carried TO the courts. Judge Potter
took the matter under advisement and
rendered his decision yesterday.
The ruling is that the present holder
of the office is entitled TO serve the
full term for which he vas elected
two years, and that he shall be paid
his salary up to date and in the future.
The decision is somewhat similar to
the case of David Mcdowell State Fac
tory Inspector. whom Judge Potter de-
cided was entitled to hold his office
until the time expired for which he
was elected.
