Washington, July 10. Allegations of a novel political deal between Representative WUliara A. Ashbrook, of Johnsiown. Oh'of (Seventeenth District), and W. son, recently nominated -by Ashbrook for the Postmastership at New Philadelphia, to succeed Wilson A.

Kerns, may result in Alberson's nomination being held up in the Senate, Wilson should it. be made by President The recommendation of Alberson by Ash brook seems to have stirred up a storm in New Philadelphia. Pretests to the Ohio Senators have been coming In from Re publicans and Democrats alike. The basis of the remonstrance is thut Al ters t-n has not been a continuous resident of New Philadelphia, having gone there from Ashland about six months ago, al though he formerly lived there. By the terms of the new Ohio redistricting act Ashbrook loses Tuscarawas In which New Philadelphia la located, but gains Ashland County.

Alberson has a wide acquaintance In Ashland. Thus the complaint is that Ashbrook, without regard for the feelings of other Tuscarawaf County candidates, who will be outside his bailiwick next year. Is attempting to hand the New Philadelphia Postofflce to a man who can help him in Ashland County. which is strange territory to the Congress man, but where lie must make a flghi fc renomination in 1914. Alberson Enters as Dark Horse.

Prior to the entrance of Aloerson as a darknorse the leading candidates were J. E. Hurst, editor of the New Philadelphia hTlmes; John M. Schell. a former Mayor of the city, and Apollo Opes, a prominent druggist.

The tight largely waa one between the wet and dry factions. Schell, an old-line Democrat and a leading wet, was thought to have the Inside track. HursC who has championed the dry. cause in his newspaper, and fought the local Democratic organization, put up a strong fight for the place, but occurrences in preceding political history in the Seventeenth rDistrict rather discounted his chances from the start. Opes stayed In the race trusting that he might be named as a compromise The old Ash brook-Hurst feud at one time threatened to disrupt' the party organisation in.

the district. Hurst, himself was a candidate for -the Democratic nomination for Congress, but withdrew In favor of Ashbrook. with the understanding, he claims, that Ashbrook wculd be content wun two terms and then would throw his support to Hurst. This alleged agreement being overlooked by Ashbrook. Hurst claimed the postofflce as a pro quo.

but the relations between the two men were at no time cordial, and It was thought highly unlikely that the Congressman would recommend the appointment of the editor. Boar From the Disappointed. It was when Mr. Ashbrook Indorsed Alberson that New Philadelphia got its shock. The recommendation was made after Ashbrook had been out home for1 several weeks studying his new district and planning for the future.

Alberson long has been active in state Democratic politics. He has been on the State Central Committee. His business of buying, operating and selling news paper properties has made his residence a shifting one. He started In his newspaper career at in which, county he was born. Some years ago Alberson went to New Philadelphia and bought the Ohio Democrat and the New Philadelphia Times, which wefe rival Democratic weekly newspapers, and consolidated them as the Ohio Democrat and Times.

Some time later ha branched out with a daily Democratic newspaper which he called the New Philadelphia Times. This paper was thriving when, six years ago. Alberson sold It to Hurst, who has operated it ever since. After selling this newspaper Alberson went to Coshocton, where he bought the Coshocton Daily Times. He published this.

until about six months' ago, when he disposed of his in terest in it snd went back to New Phila delphia. POSTMASTER RESIGNS. rv- Only One Applicant Has Appeared For West Virginia Position. IPSriAL DISPATCH TO THB Washington. July 10.

At. a conference between Postmaster-General Burleson and Clyde M. Reed, Railway Superintendent of the Cincinnati Division, to-day, Reied'a transfer to me superimenaency or seme other division in a short time was practically decided upon. 7 The- Postmaster-General assured Reed 'that the department haa tne greatest con fidence in his ability, ana mat nis transfer was not to be regarded any way as a demotion. Reed's next permanent assignment will probably be tn the West, although he may go to Boston to serve a month or two in place of John W.

Kolly- day, who waa recently transferred, to that point from Cleveland. The Poetofflce Departments to-day pro moted. John. K. Clark, a railway mail cleric In the Cincinnati Division, to the posiUon of Chief Clork.

This is regarded as an as surance-'that he Is to succeed Reed as the chief of the Cincinnati office, for which position he became a candidate many weeks The rules of the seryioe. forbid the Jumping of grades, and Clark's promotion to the Chief Clerkship would necessarily have to be made before be could becoma a Superintendent His name was first eugi gested to Postmaster-General Burleson by Representative Alfred Allen, of Cincln natl, and Senator Pomerence. soon "added his indorsement.

husband's office here late Vast night Mrs. Beatty's mother. Mrs. George W. Carr.

explains her daughter's act by saying that her mind had become deranged as a result of. the terrifying experiences she had undergone during the flood. She and Dr. Beatty were trapped in the building in which- he had his offlce. The water went to a height of 17 feet in the building, and it waa many hours before Its occupants were rescued.

Practically penniless, having lost their possessions in the flood. Dr. and -Mrs. Beatty took the first train they could get and came to Washington, where they had lived prior to going to Dayton. Dr.

Beatty was planning to re turn to Ohio to resume his practice there. With the finding of Mrs. Beatty's body in her husband's offlce here there came to light the story of a similar attempt she made to end her life In Dayton a year and a half ago. Her husband arrived Just in time to prevent the accomplishment of her purpose at that Mrs. Beatty was crippled by a- broken instep.

Because she was unable to move about without, her husband's assistance she considered herself a burden to Tnls beliel, Dr. 'Beatty said yto-day, probably was a contributing factor In her decision to end her life.

Washington. July 10. The mysterious Piqua (Ohio) Postofflce ease. In which the nomination of Dr. Will S.

Prince was erased from the official list Just before ft was dispatched from the White House to the Senate, took on a most interesting turn to-day when it was learned' that poetofflce inspectors have been ordered to Piiua, to look up -Dr. Prince's connection with business operations concerning which Ham ilto County representations have been made by. bis op ponents. Senator Pomerene to-day made, another Ineffectual to discover what blocked Prince In the White Houee. In view of the fact that the inspectors have been ord ered the presumption Is that an eleventh hour complaint against Prince re sulted In hla name being scratched from, the list at the last moment.

So hurriedly were jjlans changed In the Piqua case that the White House stenographers failed to erase the name from the carbon copies of the list distributed among the Senators. and as a the nomination was announced In the newspapers, while the Piqua doctor 'was notified of his success by telegrams both from Senator Pomerene and from Renersentative J. U. Post, who had recommended hla appointment. Senator Pomerene is still sticking to his determination- that It must be Dr.

Prince and none other, who eventually will be nominated by President Wilson for the Piqua Job. The charges against the doctor will have to be very grave and. sustained by Indisputable evidence before the. Sena tor will recede from this position. The Senator feels that the announcement of Prince's selection has placed him In a posi tion where any change of plans at the White House would be stullfylng to the Senator.

The belated charges against Prince indicate the determined nature of the fight being put up against the Post selection by Harvey C. Garber and the State Administration, who were for Henry Kampf, editor of a Piqua Democratic paper, for the place. Kampf is still fighting for the place with every weapon at hla command. He has recently appealed to Senator Burton to. take a band In the affair.
