BACK TO SECOND CLASS
FOR POSTLIASTER I.1IST0
Mistake Made When Portland
Office Was Made First Class,
Say Washington Officials.
Word was received from Washington
this . morning announcing that correc
tion of a clerical error in the pos toffies
department will deprive Portland of Us
position as a first-class office and also
place Postmaster Mlnto's salary back
to 14,000. When Mr. Minto received
word of his promotion last month hs
expressed himself Quite positively that
an error had been made either at Port
land or at Washington, for acoording to
the f laurss compiled at Portland the re
ceipts for the year amounted to about
12.000 leas than ths required tuu,uuo.
The report from Washington today con-
flrma Mr. Mlnto's Xlgures.
In speaking of the matter today he
said:' -, -r - ' '
' "I havs correspondence with Assistant
Poatmaater-Oeneral Hitchcock connrm
Ing my appointment and what hs had to
say about ths receipts. I am sorry
that tha mistake has been made, but I
wish to ssy that ths report went out of
the Portlsnd oinoe correct ana mai
was surprised when K received notlnoa
tloa of my promotion! I wish to add
that the people of Portland need not be
disheartened, for at the rate of the re
ceipts at present we will be In the first
olass In good ohspe next yesr. -. -"
So far as known ths setback will af
fect no one besides Postmsstsr Minto.
The report 'from Washington sxplalnsd
that the mistake occurred by counting
121,000 on receipts, which were really
deposits from a tributary otnee.

In behalf of Hamilton H. Hendricks this

merely followed the example of Adam.

Hendricks said this witnsss waa ready
to aay anything in the world to get him

Judge Bennett argued that the fur

merely to a fear that his motives might
