CHANCE MAY TAKE
PLACE Of DR.. WORK
Might : Be Succeeded by
Mooney, Should p. O.
Changes Occur.

Possibility that City Postmaster NJ.
o. Chance may be appointed first as
sistant postmaster general In March
when Postmaster General Hays termi-
mates his connection with the postal
service was seen today.
This would presuppose that DR..
Hubert Work. now first assistant
postmaster general. will be made
Postmaster General to succeed Mr..
Hays. and that w. NJ. Mooney, now
chief clerk of the Post Office Depart
ment. will be made postmaster Of
Washington.
Such a Lineup" still leaves the sec
ond assistant postmaster generalship
vacant, 1t having been occupied by
Col Z. H. Shaughnessy, who lost his
life as result of injuries received IN
the Knickerbocker Theater disaster.
Almost Full Reorganization
Thus next month will see almost
REORGANIZATION of the chief positions
in the Post Office Department, owing
to a series OF events Unprecedented in
the history OF the service. 1t Is gen
orally believed that DIR. Work will be
made Postmaster General or VIII re-
sign.
The selection of Postmaster Chance
for the important post Of first assist
ant. which carries with 1t charge of
all the letter carriers and clerks
throughout the United States, would
carry with it a loss of $1,000 in sal
airy. The honor OF the position, how
ever, might make up for the loss. II
is held.
1t is not generally known that the
Washington city postmaster is re-
garded by postal officials as "one OF
the two best postmasters in the
United States" The other was Post
master Purdy of Minneapolis. who
has resigned, leaving Postmaster
Chance, his friends claim. "the best
postmaster in the United States"
Considered Ideal for Place.
Through his grasp of postal prob
lens, initiative and long service POST
master Chance is held to be an ideal
man for the position Of first assistant
postmaster general, and 1t is known
that some officials would willingly
recommend him for the position If he
can be made to accept The salary re-
duction which goes with 1t.
Postmaster Chance came into the
service as a messenger boy and
worked his way up through the va
rious grades to be chief clerk of the
Post Office Department, when he was
appointed to be postmaster OF Wash
:ngton by President Wilson. and re
appointed. He has more than tw'
years to serve on his second term i

FOUR HURT WHEN
TWO MOTORS CRASH
Walter Reed Ambulance and
E. R. Hughes Car
Collide.

-Four persons were injured and two
motor vehicles wrecked as the result
of spectacular collision at the in
tersection Of 18th and Q streets
northwest shortly after O'Clock this
morning. The vehicles involved were
the large touring car Of Edward r.
Hughes, l74o v street northwest, go
ing west on @ street, and an ambu-
lance from Walter Reed Hospital go
ing north on 10th street.
So great was the impact that the
passenger car was turned on it's side,
while the ambulance, with its driving
mechanism wrecked, ended up against
the fence of the residence at the
northwest corner Of the street inter-
section, breaking a mail box off short.
Testimony as to the blame for the
accident is contradictory While the
touring car had the right of way. a
physician who witnessed the accident
and who was questioned by the po-
lice of the eighth precinct placed the
blame on that vehicle because Of its
excessive speed. Private Wyatt
Dobbs. driver Of the ambulance,
states that he did not even see the
car until 1t was right on him, SO fast
was 1t approaching the street inter
section.
All IN Car8 Injured.

a psychopathi patient, whose outcries
and actions added to the confusion.

driver were uninjured.

city from Camp Benning. Ga, for
treatment at the military hospital
was thrown from the ambulance. In
spite of his physical condition and a
badly wrenched leg he took command

is confined to his bed at the hospital
today.
Veteran Also Hurt.

station to be cared for. The ambu-
lance, after picking UP, Capt. Ken
Hart's head was cut and he also COM
planned of a leg injury. Efforts to
restrain him added to the difit&ulties.
First news of the accident reached
Detective Cornwell, night chief Of de-
tectives, from woman residing at
18th and Q streets. who, suffering
from insomnia, witnessed the smash
from her window. She stated that the
ambulance was going fast enough to
drive the other car a considerable dis
tance north of the street intersection.
Hughes, driver of the latter, is being
held by the police pending an investi-
cation.

BRITAIN TO OPPOSE
| ANY PARLEY DELAY
Will Not Agree to Genoa Post
ponement Unless Rome
Makes Request.
By the Associa ted Press.

LONDON. February 10.-Great
Britain will agree to no postpone
ment of the Genoa economic confer
ence unless the request for such post
ponement emanates from Rome, it
was amthoritatively declared here
today. The French ambassador, it is
understood. was SO informed last
evening by Lord Cur zon, the foreign
secretary, during their discussion of
the French memorandum urging post
ponement of the conference.
Belief was expressed in a well
informed American quarter today
that the holding of the conference on
the intended date was becoming
increasingly doubtful, owing to the
Italian domestic political situation.
Until an intimation was given that
this situation was such as to preclude
the holding of the conference, how
ever the nations which are expected
to participate have no choice but to
await developments.
