ONE Or THOSE PARTY LINE CONVERSATIONS. i
i : : 1 rs : : if
President Wilson has issued an or
der removing Frank S. Myers from
the office of postmaster at Portland.
This information was telegraphed to
Robert H. Barclay, postoffice inspect
or in charge of the Portland post
office, yesterday afternoon.
Said Mr. Myers last evening: "The
law on removals clearly states the
order of removal must be signed by
the president and concurred in by the
senate."
With this terse reply, Mr. Myers
hung up the telephone. The deduc
tion is that Mr. Myers is still deter
minded tc fight for his $6000-a-year
job until the senate concurs tn the
presidential order of dismissal.
But if Mr- Myers makes himself i
nuisance around the postoffice. In
spector Barclay Is empowered to file
a complaint against him with the
United States commissioner.
Mr. Myers Keeps Office.
Apparently, it is Mr. Myers' next
move.
Very much isolated was Mr. Myers,
Insofar-as official business was con
cerned at the postoffice yesterday. In
spector Barclay had assembled the
heads of the office end informed them
that they were to take their Instruc
tions from him. Mr. Myers, however,
continued to occupy the private office
and Mr. Barclay did his direction of
operations from - the- office of -the
postal inspectors, room 221.
Meanwhile Harvey G. Starkweather,
state chairman of the democratic com
mittee, lined up with Mr. Myers as a
reserve force and Is attempting to
have the Myers case investigated by
the senate committee on postoffices
and postroads. of which Charles E.
Townsend, United States senator, is
chairman.
The whole situation points to a con
tinuation of Mr. Myers' determination
to hold onto the job in the face of
presidential opposition and all other
opposition.
Myers Ordered to Move.
Following is the telegram received
by Mr. Barclay from Washington tell
ing of President Wilson's action:
"Telegraph sent to Mr. Myers by
postmaster-general stating: 'Reply
ing to your telegram, order has been
issued by direction of president re
moving you from office as postmas
ter at Portland, effective January 31.
have exercised authority given in
section 262, postal laws ana regula
tions, and placed an inspector in
charge of the postoffice.
The rights of the department In
such case have-been fully determined,
by the courts.
"You must have nothing further to
do with the office."
Mr. Myers did not say whether he
had received his copy of the mes
sage. His attorney said he had heard
of "a purported message' received
by Inspector Barclay. Anyway, Mr.
Myers Is still a doubting Thomas and
contends that the law of removal has
only functioned 50 per cent; the presi
dent may have signed, but the senate
is still to be heard from.
Starkweather Sends Appeal.
Postmaster-General Burleson's mes
sage to Mr. Myers, as received by In-
pector Barclay, shows that when Mr.
Myers refused to resign, as directed.
last Saturday, the presidents order
was Issued summarily removing Mr.
Myers on ' the date his resignation
was wanted.
State Chairman Starkweather, who
has been allied with the Myers fac
tion o the democratic party in Ore
gon, sent the following message to
Senator Townsend yesterday:
"High-handed attempt is being
made, to remove Postmaster F. S,
Myers of Portland, to please a faction
of the democratic party in this state.
He has made an excellent postmaster,
and if any charges have been made
against him he has had no oppor
tunity to answer them.
"When the matter comes before the
senate please have it referred to your
committee and have a thorough in
vestigation made, so that Postmaster
Myers may have his day in court"
Charses Not Revealed.
The charges on which were based
the request for Mr. Myers' resigna
tion and his ordered removal by Pres
ident Wilson have never been made
public. They comprise an extensive
report prepared by two postal in
spectors who were In Portland several
weeks last summer investigating Mr.
Myers and conditions in the local
postoffice. If Mr. Starkweather has
his wish, this report will become pub
lic property if the committee on
postoffices and postroads makes an
investigation.
