ARE NOT TO BE
CONSOLIDATED
plan to Have One Carrier
Handle Both Routes Dis
carded; Post Office at Fin
ley Closed

AS a result of the numerous pro-
tests nv the oranges, Legion, cham
her of commerce and other organ
stations here, word was received TINS
week that the order consolidating
the two rural mail routes had been
recinded.
Orders had been received recent
II hv the local post office to have
one carrier handle both the pres
emit routes. AS soon as the order
became known the protests began
In roll out to the department and
the congressional delegation. Early
This week the following informa-
zion was received from Congress
man Knute Hill:
81 noticed in last weeks issue OF
the Courier Reporter that you not

Won would be interested to know
that Tuesday morning went to
the post office department and
spent an hour in going over the ru-
raj route situation of Kennewick.
"As a result the Second Assistant
Postmaster General dictated a let
ter in my presence revoking the or
der to consolidate the routes. While
this consolidation would have meant
q saving of $1369.00 year the de-
partment now feels that taking all
things into consideration it would
not be advisable to consolidate the
routes. I am glad to have been of
assistance in this matter as feel
confident that the consolidation of
routes would not have been salts
factory"
Effective Saturday morning II.
p. Cranmer, who has carried Route
two for many years, is retired.
Since the new order has been re-
ceived a substitute carrier has been
ordered to handle his route Grin
Beinhart will handle the route
temporarily, and possibly will re-
ceive the permanent appointment,
IS he is an eX-service man and has
=yeen on the substitute list for sew
eral years. His appointment has
been recommended by the Legion.
Information has also been receiv-
ed that today the post office at Fin
ley will be closed. Inasmuch as pa
irons in that district are being
served by the rural carrier from the
Kennewick office the department
has served notice that the office at
the store as Finley will no longer
be operated. This information is
authentic, we believe, although not
yet official.

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 6 O.N.S).
Toledos power strike was averted

center cr the 20 other communities
which were faced for one day with
a strike that would have darkened
the homes of nearly 100000 per-

ing Toledo Edison Company unions

Immediately and place in the

The settlement stood today as
an outstanding victory for j. E.

opposing sides which led to the
strike vote by the unions. First the

RHEEM SEEKS
PAROLE FROM
| D R 7 D n
Asks Release After Four Years
For Connection With Defunct
Realty Mortgage Firm

Edmund D. Rheem, who has
completed almost four years Of a
Seven-year term imposed for his
connection with the now defunct
real estate mortgage firm of
SWartzell, Rheem g. Hensey, will
appear before the parole board
next week.
The hearing date on his applica-
ton has not been set, but his
name was listed among 81 Lorton
prisoners whose applications are
to be considered at the next SeS-
sion of the board.
Denial Explained
Board members announced that
Rheem'S application, heard during
May Of last year, which brought
about an expose of the bankers
porch" at Lorton Reformatory,
was denied for the following
reasons:
81. Because It was not felt
that the period Of approx
mately three years the appli-
cant had completed was suffi-
cIent, in view of the serious
ness Of his OffenSe and all sur.
rounding circumstances.
"2. The lack Of frankneSs on
the part of the applicant while
under examination by the
board"
Rheem in his application for re-
hearing said there is employment
open to him now which would
give him an opportunity for re-
Mobilization.
Pleaded Guilty
Rheem entered Lorton July IL,
1881, after pleading guilty be-
fore Justice Peyton Gordon, an
old acquaintance, in Criminal
Court to a charge of concealing
valuable papers and records OF
the mortgage concern.
It was in January, 1881. that
the realty mortgage firm, OF
which Rheem was executive vice
president, collapsed with a loss
to creditors of more than one
million dollars. An investigation
of the transactions of the COM
pany by Department of Justice
agents resulted in the charge
against the youthful broker.
Denied EmbezzIement
He was accused ir the indict-
ment of transferring from the
vaults of the firm secured notes
belonging to former customers
of the concern totaling $4,000.
These had been substituted for
released notes deposited with the
Washington Loan and Trust
Company to the credit of Rheem's
fathers estate. The secured notes
we're later returned to the trus-
tees of the bankrupt company
and distributed among the
owners.
Rheem pleaded not guilty to
a charge of embezzlement grow
ing from the transaction and
this charge was dropped after
he had been sent to Lorton.
At the reformatory Rheem has
been bookkeeper Of the prisons
industrial branch.
