Globe Special Washington Service, 1417 G Street. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 29.— following _ "memorandum" was handed to the correspondent of The Globe today: "Although Capt. Henry A. Castle resigned as auditor for the postofflce department nearly three months ago, he still holds the office awaiting the appointment of his successor. He has no desire to remain there permanently and he says that all talk of his want ing to be postmaster of "Washington or hold any other position here is in correct. He resigned voluntarily and in good faith, with the intention, which nothing can -change, of returning to Minnesota next spring.' A regard for his health prohibits spending future summers in Washington. "Capt. Castle has,been offered sev eral outside positions here, at an in creased salary, but has declined them. He has, however, accepted remunera tive work for the winter as legal ad viser to an association that has been organized with ample capital, to ad vocate several important postal re forms. "Report has it also that Capt. Castle was commissioned several months since by a leading New York publish ing house to write an authentic history of the postal investigations of 1903, coupled with historical sketches of past scandals and portrayal of existing abuses that are likely to lead to fu ture trouble. This ": report cannot be authenticated, but if true may give rise to some 'lively anticipations.

Although the resolu tion was framed along exactly the same lines as the one passed by the execu tive committee early in December, which precipitated the controversy, it came as a surprise to some of the mem bers of the executive committee who thought that the matter would not come up until the report of the com mittee was made. -7 The resolution was referred to a spe cial committee, composed of two from the general association, appointed by President Mclntire. and one elected from each; special section.
