Myers, removed from th office of postmaster by order of Presl dent Wilson, was instructed yesterday that be is no longer custodian of the postoffice building- and to tarn over the keys to Thomas V. Hutching, as sistant custodian. There were few developments in the Myers case yesterday. Mr. Myers maintained that he is still postmaster and will Continue to be until the sen ate concurs in the president's order of dismissal, but Mr. Myers appeared to be the only person who considered that he was postmaster. Inspector Robert H. Barclay is at the helm and in the private office of postmaster' and is running the works. Some Democrat Annoyed. Since Harvey G. Starkweather tele graphed to Senator Townsend. chair man of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, requesting that the MyerS case be investigate! by the committee, other democratic leaders are annoyed. Mr. Starkweather sent the telegram as chairman of the state central, committee, but not with th sanction of the committee. There will be a reorganization of the state com mittee some times In April and then, it is whispered. Mr. Starkweather will have to walk the plank, like his friend, Mr. Myers. The majority of the members of the state democratic committee have been desirous of see ing Mr. Myers ousted and they, there fore, do not approve of the telegram of Mr. Starkweather. It is" expected that Mr. Myers will go into the courts to prove that he is postmaster and entitled to the com pensation of $6000 a year, notwith standing the statement bf the postmaster-general that the department knows what it is doing and the legal points involved have been determined by the courts. Myers to Be Ifmored. So far as Inspector Barclay Is con cerned, the whole affair is a closed incident and he is pursuing the even tenor of his way. He declares that lie is following Insructions from Washington and that there is nothing personal between Mr. Myers and him self. "And," added Mr. Barclay, "we will not be found locked in mortal com bat." So long as Mr. Myers does not at tempt to Interfere with the orderlj processes of the postal department no attention will be paid to his claims to the postmastership. .
