GARIS INDORSED '
FOR POSTMASTER
Will Get Phillipsburg Job,
Though Not Named by Mem
ber of Congress.
REPRESENTATIVE HART IS
THROUGH WITH IMBROGLIO
- «
With Firth and Murray Elim
inated, Will Not Contest De
partment’s Choice.
I From » stall' C'orrespondent.I
WASHINGTON, April 17.—Repre
sentative Archibald C. Hart an
nounced today that he has washed
bis hands of the Phillipsburg post
mastership imbroglio and will alow
the postofllce department here to
have its own way. This means that
\ Clarence D. Garis will be the next
postmaster of the burg opposite Al
lentown. This decision was arrived at
after consultations with Senators
Martine and Hughes and some for
mal correspondence with Assistant
Postmaster-General Roper.
The representative from the Sixth
district and the two senators repre
senting New Jersey had a conference
over the situation, ’ but found that
they cpuld of themselves do nothing
to clarify the atmosphere. It will be
remembered that Senator Martine
and Representative Hart greed on
Joseph Firth for postmaster of Phil
lipsburg.
How Firth Was Kliimnate'l.
There is a religious element in the
town who like not the ways, political
and otherwise, of Mr. Firth, and
when he was mentioned as the possi
ble postmaster a large delegation of
them made a trip to the nation's
capital and waited on the postmaster
. general, before whom they laid sun
dry complaints and made certain al
legations against Mr. Firth tending
to brace up their contention that he
was not a tit and proper persdn to
handle the mail matter of that place.
It is also asserted that some of the
women of the town sent a communi
cation to the wife of the President of
the l nited States telling her of cer
tain pecadilloes of the man whom the
politicians had selected to be post
nut st or.
Out of a clear sky came the an
nouncement that the postottice de
partment had decided upon Clarence
t>. Garis for postmaster. Who se
lected him is not given out lor pub
lication. Representative Hart as
serts that while he is supposed to
have the naming of the candidate lie
<tTd not name Mr. Garis. Senator
. Martino, who stood sponsor for Firth,
-While Representative Hart was unde
cided between Firth and Murray,
•says that he did not name Garis.
The senators and Representative
Hurt are of one mind at this time
that no more is to be done, and for
mer Mayor Joseph Firth will have to
go Into the political discard for this
, deal. The trick goes to Mr. Garis.
•The latter is said to be a person
highly grata to politicians other than
those who do the yeoman’s political
work in the stress of election day.
.'all \HIII> IU orilir u>
Representative Hart particularly
desired to have tlie postoffice depart
ment set him aright in the eyes of
tlie friends of Mr. Firth, and with
that end in view he wrote a letter
asking certain specitic question.
The letter was as follows:
April 16th, 1814.
•“Hon. Daniel C. Roper,
•‘.My dear -Mr. Roper:
‘‘I am very anxious that the Phil
lips! .argil postmastership should be
nettled one way,or another. J have
usked ..our department consistently
to investigate the allegations against
d Fifth a nil Murray. if the charges
■filed against them are true, l shall, of
course, not ask their nomination.
"My request that the confirmation
Of Garris's nomination be delayed,
was wholly for the purpose of afford
ing Firth and .Murray an opportunity
to disprove these charges. In short,
1 have hesitated in this case, only to
learn the truth or falsity of the alle
gations. As soon as your depart
ment writes me that. it. has investi
gated these charges and found them
true, then so far as 1 am concerned,
] shall release, Senator Martlne*from
any promise he lias made to me.
"Since the nomination of Harris,
bntii Fir!.i and .Murray have hem in
Washington and they have told me
that the department would withdraw
the name of Garris should 1 ask it,
and would name any person that. J
desired. Knowing the rules and prac
tises of the department as i do, this
has astonished me. It is due Gte
people of Philllpsburg that this un
fortunate strife be ended.
“Will \oo kindly advise me us soon
after receiving this letter as possible,
whether the department may be in
ti lluenecd by any single act of mine to
reconsider the nomination of Garris.
Furthermore, I should like to know
definitely whether the department be
fore nominating Garris investigated
the charges against Firth and
Murray and whether it satisfied it
self that it would preclude the con
sideration of the name of either.”
The Reply from Roper,
The reply of Mr. Roper, who is Lilt,
first assistant postmaster-general,
indicated that he was not going to
he lured into committing himself or
his department on the question of
Mr. Firth and his character. He sent
this reply, by special messenger, to
Representative I i art.
"In lyjJ'y to your letter of recent
regard to the nomination of
'Sir. Clarence 1*. Garis for Postmaster
at Phillipsburg, New Jersey, 1 beg
to advise that the •postmaster-general
has examined very carefully all pf the
evidence submitted to the department
pro and con the several candidates
for the postmastership at Phillips
burg, and lie reached the firm conclu
sion tiiat the nomination of Mr. (Saris
would bo to the best interest of tho
postal service at Phillipsburg. No
evidence has been submitted to tho
department since the nomination was
si nl to the Senate that would justify
tlie department in changing its view
point in this matter.
“1 will add further that the deparl
tncnl has not in contemplation at
this time any action looking to the
withdrawal from I lie Senate of tjie
nomination of Mr. Garis.”
Privately Mr. Roper said that his
department could not and would not
withdraw a name once it had been
■ sent to the Senate unless charges af
fecting the morals of the candidate
were made, or unless the Semite com
mittee on postofflees and post roads
ordered the name withdrawn. Thus
Mi Garis, who was not named by
any member of Congress, will become
the next postmaster of Phillipsburg,

TWENTY TON IRON CASTING FOR 2,000
HORSEPOWER DYNAMO IS MADE HEREli
Delivery was made today of what
was probably the largest iron casting
ever made in this city, when Maher
& Flockhart sent from their foundry,
7'i Polk street, to the Crocker-Wheeler
Company, in Ampere, the bottom
half of the magnet frame of it 2,000
horsepower dynamo which is being
made for the Ford Motorcar works.
A ten-horse truck about lifts’ feet
long, owned by Henry Jaeger, of this
cits', bore the enormous mass of iron
which weighs tsventy tons, from the
local shops to Ampere. It took al
most three hours to make the trip.
Making the casting delivered today
took about six weeks, including the
making of the mould. The upper half
of the frame, a piece of iron weigh
ing fifteen tons, was finished and sent
to the Crocker-Wheeler shops three
weeks ago. The machine work on
both castings will be performed in the
Crocker-Wheeler shops.

of Socialists, and Governor Stokes
permitted the audience to query the
