POSTMASTER'S
APPOINTMENT
HERE NEARING
Freeze, Ewbank and Os.
borne Rate Highest
in Service Test
RECOMMENDATION BY
WEAVER ANTICIPATED

Civil service ratings of appli-
cants for the Hendersonville post
mastership made it apparent to-
day that R. P. Freeze, pharmacist,
E. W. Ewbank, attorney, or R. Lee
Osborne, former assistant post
master, will receive the appoint
ment.
The names of these men are to
be certified at once to Congress-
man Zebulon Weaver by the U.
S. Civil Service commission, and
Congressman Weaver is expect ed
to make recommendation of one
within the next ten days or two
weeks. The actual appointment
will be made by President Roose-
welt, with confirmation by the
United States senate.
Ratings of the men were re-
ceived here Saturday. Of the three
given highest rankings by the
Civil Service commission, Mr.. Ew.
bank and Mr.. Osborne have beer
most active candidates for the of
fee, which is occupied now by z
C. Byers, who was named acting
postmaster on May II, last, sue
ceeding R. H. Station, whose tern
had expired about three months
previously. Mr.. Byers was not {
civil service candidate for tbs
permanent appointment. Roy f
Johnson was recently appointed
assistant postmaster to succeed
Mr.. Osborne, who had been placed
IN the post soon after the dealt
of ]. A. Mason.
Political observers were specu
lating today on the possibilities OF
each of the three men eligible fol
the postmastership. Although he
has not been an active candidate
since he wrote on the examina
ton last year, Mr.. Freeze wa.
conceded an excellent chance or
the strength of the fact that he
received the highest rating, fol
his business experience and fol-
party loyalty. Mr.. Ewbank is per
haps the closest friend Of Con
gresham Weaver, and in addition
he has to his credit long record
of service to the Democratic
party as county chairman and in
other capacities. He has long been
one of the most prominent attor-
neys in Western North Carolina.
Mr. Osborne was in the automo-
bile business here for a number
of years, is a lifelong Democrat,
is the son of T. E. Osborne OF
Mills River, master farmer of this
county, and is a World war vet
eran.

Mr.. Creech stressed that this Is

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. %.
(UP). Bruno Richard Hauptmann
at noon today stood before the
Hunterdon trial jury and admit
ted he was a deceiver who did not
permit his wife to know anything
about his business transactions.
The duel in which Attorney
General David Wilentz and the
Bronx carpenter, accused OF MUIR

ished dramatic moments as court
resumed over the weekend recess.
Hauptmann, wary of traps, re-
sorted to a general denial of the
States pleas, saying, II couldn't

cution's embarrassing questions.
Wilentz drew the following adj
missions from him: >.
l. That his accounts of ms
financial transactions were false TO
keep his wife unacquainted with
his business; -,
2. The book, containing the
word "boad" was written in 1881,
and not eight years ago, as he had
previously claimed;
8. 1t was difficult for HIM TO
spell words containing "gh", and
that he unnecessarily inserted IN"

forced languid martial law. No

were tackled on telephone poles
