POSTMASTER MURRAY WILL BE REMOVED

Democrats Plan to Oust Him and Rumor Has It That N. Littlefield Will Get Place. A postoffice inspectpr visited Rensselaer about three weeks ago for the particular purpose of trying 'to find some room for the .removal of Postmaster Murray and the appointment of a democratic successor. The inspector came because several letters had been received by the department in Washington making complaints about Postmaster Murray. These complaints were not founded oh any justified objection to the manner in which the postoffice is conducted, hut with a view to stirring up enough trouble to cause his removal and the substitution of a democrat. The inspector visited several while in Rensselaer, mostly democrats, it is understood. These were the people who had been making the complaint. He is said to have related the character of the objections to Mr. Murray. Some letters to the department said that Mr. Murray devoted his time to his other business, some letters said that the stamp window was not open enough, some that it took too long to distribute the mails, and several little things, small criticisms that could be made against any postoffice of this class in the country. It is said that the inspector Indicated to several that the charges were very Insignificant and that he favored Mr. Murray, but it is also stated that this is the method employed by the inspectors and that the attitude was the same at Lafayette when Post master Haywood was removed. It is understood that everything has been fixed up for the removal of Mr. Murray and the appointment of his successor and that Nehemiah Littlefield, the democratic county chairman, is to be named and the change is apt to occur -any day now. There were only two active candidates for the office, it is said, Mr. Littlefield and Editor Babcock. The latter favored the retention of Mr. Murray until his term was completed, he states because it has been the "custom,” but it is generally believed there was a deeper motive than this with the democratic editor. He knew that if the change was made during the time Mr. Peterson was the congressman that Mr. Littlefield would be the man selected, while he had hopes that if the term of Mr. Murray was completed Mr. Peterson might be out of the way. Of course, that is a little democratic trouble that don’t worry the most of us any, but Brother Babcock neglected to. make this part of it clear, probably just an oversight, and as about all of the democrats of the county seem to be back of Mr. Littlefield’s candidacy, we thought that they should be informed in the things which their “party organ” neglected to enlighten them In. Mr. Littlefield Is In every way qualified for the office and his work as a party man for many ydars gives him a well-grounded claim for recognition and if the flimsy charges preferred against Air Murray are to be used for the purpose of removing him, we know of no democrat* in this city or county whose appointment would be more acceptable to democrats and members or all parties and the public in peneial than that of Mr. Littlefield.

Director W. J. Harris of the census bureau appointed a committee, including Dr. S. N. D. North and William R. Merriam, both former directors of the bureau, to reorganise the service.

MONOPLANE TO BE SEEN AT THE RED MEN’S POW-WOW

George Mestaeh, famous Frenchman, who is to provide thrills at the Red Men’s pow-wow at Rensselaer on Sept. 18, 19 and 20, was a fellow pupil with Pegoud, the fiery aviator who looped-the-loop twice in France a week ago. Mestaeh flies the same make of machine used by Pegoud and tells many interesting stories of his talks with Pegoud a year ago, when the

NORTH JUDSON GIRL DISAPPEARS FROM HOME

Suspieion That She Eloped With Pastor of Catholic Church Who Left at Same &me. North Judson, Ind., Sept. s.—This little town is agog because of the disappearance of Miss Elizabeth Koza, a member of one of the prominent families of the town, 19 years old, and the absence of the Rev. Father Charles Keyser, pastor of the local Catholic church. Both disappeared abo.ut three weeks ago, going to Chicago on the same day, but on different trains. After relatives found the girl in a hospital in Chicago, where she went to take treatment, she was again lost and has not been heard from. In the meantime the books of the parish have been turned over to the Rev. Father-Guethoff, of Crown Point, and Bishop Alercfc ing of Fort Wayne, is conducting an investigation. On the day that ‘she disappeared the girl got a message from Chicago, purporting to be signed by Dr. Krai, her brother-in-law, saying that her sister was sick and asking her to go to Chicago. She showed this message to her parents and left that afternoon. The message said that a letter would follow, and when no letter arrived her parents became worried and, after calling their daughter in Chicago, learned her husband had sent no message and that they had not seen the missing girl.

However, after making a trip* to Chicago they found the girl in a hospital, where she had gone for treatment. When they returned the announcement was made that she had gone to Chicago to work in a department store and did not tell her parents because she knew they would object. Later, when her parents went to the hospital to visit her she was gone, leaving no trace. It was not until then that the people of North Judson remembered that ihe clergyman had gone to Chicago on the same day. For the last few months the priest had been insisting upon liberal contributions and it is thought he had considerable money. The Rev. Father Keywr has been priest at the North Judson church for several years. About a year ago a new church was completed tinder his direction. He was popular with his parishioners. He Is about 39 years of age.

pair talked of the loop-the-lopp trial. “Pegoud could talk of nothing else when we were together at the Bleriot School at Pau, France,” said Mestaeh a few days ago to a Chicago Tribune reporter. ■“He had it all figured out just as it happened when he really did the -trick. Los course, knew it was possible to finally master the trick,
