July 22, Charles Hedges today was removed from the office of superintendent of free delivery of the Postoffice Depart ment, on the charge of falsifying his dairy aud loaning his traveling commission, it is cnarged that ne reported himself at-various places, wheo, in fact, he watj not at those places on, the dates mentioned, in Borne iostances being hundreds of miles away. . , " . ' . Mr.'Hedge8, while making no general denial of the charges con tends that tbev were not sufficient justification for removal. Ervin Thorpe. postom$e inspector in char ge at New York' who has been as sieting' sin the -administration of the free deliver? service since the inception of the investigation has b9en designated acting superintend dent in "place of Mr. Hedges. The official ' statement made public today by Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General :BristoWj- says in part: ; : '-r ' C: -x .: " : "Od October 25, 1900, he Hedges states under oath in his diary, that he was at Joplin Mo., on 'extension of free delivery Ber vice,-', when in fact he was at Mans field 0., attending the funeial of ex -Secretary : John ' Sherman. On December 7, 1899, he reports him self at San Antonio, Tex., 'investi gating carriers' services,' while in fact ;SS9 in Mexico on a mining property. In ib month of Octo ber, 1899, A,.. W. Machen, superin tendent of the free ; delivery, was sick with typhoid fever and Hedges was at .. the departm ent acting as superintendent. In his diary he states under dath that he was at various places, namely, New York, Philadelphia, ; Bridgeport, Conn,, Camden N. J. and else where, 'actually engaged in travel ing on the business of the , free de livery service. " , .'Assistant superintendent of free delivery are allowed a per diem of $4 per day in lien of expenses for each day engaged actually in trav eling on business; for the depart ment. . Hedges false statements ss to his whereabouts were manifestly for the purpose of collecting per diem to which he was not entitled. There are many ' other instances of similar falsifications. The facts were submitted to the Postmaster General some daye since who di rected Hedges', removal for the reasons above eet forth." The case was worked up by Postoffice Inspector George Sutton, assisted by inspectors Bennett and Johns. There were several charges on file against Mr. Hedges, but none of these constituted the ;ba acts dia the Bin of his 'dismissal. The which led to his removal were covi re 1 by the inspectors in course of their general investigation of the records of the free delivery service. The case has been under investigation for several- weeks. Mr.. Bristow summoned Mr. Hed ges just before the close of office hours this afternoon and . notified him of his dismissal, j ' V " i - New York, July 12. The World says: The United States is, it seems, about to enter upon a little retaliatory experiment with Ger many. Our new Pure Eood law has just gone into effect, : and ' the first consignments of 'German foods liable to inspection under it will ar rive in a few days. k " 5 . , The provisions of this law, osten sibly to prevent unwholesome foods entering our ports, are such that it will be easy-to so interpret and ap ply them as to exclude several mil lion dollars' worth of goods hither to "made in Germanv" for Ameri can , dinner tables. Sausages-sau- sage casings, cheese, beer and wines can all be declared "impure" by our facile" experts, and either sent back to the Fatherland or destroy ed. ' This is the American protection ist tit-for-tat answer to the German protectionist law excluding Ameri- can canned meats. The mass of American and German, consumers will alike pay the . piper for this foolishness. Neither country irn- l ports food from the other- for fun, but to supply its wants. Neither country except the protected hand ful of its people engaged in produc ing these foods, is interested in hav ing the food it buys from the ether excluded - from its ports or made dearer in its markets. Retaliatory tariffs and food inspection lams de vised in their spirit are simply so many spite fences erected between nations, to their mutual injury and annoyance. Des Moines, Iowa,' July 22.
