GETS OUT AN INJUNCTION Postoffice Inspectors W. N. Coble and George H. Booker returned Fri- day evening from a trip to Lincoln, Bridgeport and Bayard, during which they succeeded in ousting John G. Porter from the postmastership at Bridgeport and installing Earl Steu- teville as acting postmaster. The trouble at Bridgeport arose over Porter's request to the depart- ment for more help in the postoffice for handling the ma'?s. When his re- quest was refused he wrote a letter :? which the department took éxcep- on and ordered him_ to give up the office, He refused, and when In- spector Coble went to take ‘over the office he got out an injunction pro- hibiting Coble from taking the office by force. The injunction, however, did not include other employes of the .department, and Coble telegraph- ed for Inspector Booker, to whom the order did pot apply. Porter is Arrested. On Monday a warrant ‘'was sworn out in Lincoln and a deputy marshal accompanied the inspectors to Bridgeport, where Porter was put un- der arrest, the office taken over by Inspector Booker and retransferred to Steuteville. The officers took Por- ter ‘to Bayard, where United States Commissioner Cronkleton heard the charges and bound Porter over to the federal grand jury, which will megt in the fall, Porter furnished bail and was released, The charge against. Porter is technitally one of embezzlement. Sec- tion 1675y of the postal regulations says in part: “Any postmaster who shall fail to account for, or turn over to the proper ‘officer or agent any maney or property when required to do so by law or the regulation of the Postoffice department, or upon de- mand or omler of the ponmnte{‘ gen- an authorized officer or agent, shall be deemed guilty of embezzlement.” The penalty is fixed at a fine equal to the value of the property retained or to not more than ten years' imprison- ment, or both.” Porter, it is expected, will make a fight for reinstatement on the rounds that his letter was not suf- icient ‘cause for an order of removal.
