HOLDS UP PERU NOMINATION

Senate Committee May Encounter Trouble in Postoffice Case. Washington, May 5. Washington promises to be a storm center for a time of Eleventh Indiana district politics. The nomination of H. P. Loveland as postmaster of Peru has been ordered held up in the senate committee on postoffices and post roads and the indications are that there will be a long delay and a bitter fight before the senate acts on the confirmation of the appointment. Mr. Loveland is here trying to smooth out the opposition, but so far has not made much headway. Senator Bourne, chairman of the committee, said it is the usual course to hold up a nomination when some one desires to present charges. It is expected that all of the charges brought against Loveland prior to his appointment will be thrasfced out again before the senate committee.
