Woman For Hazleton Postmaster;
Congressman Casey Leads Fight
Tliot Mrs. Hugh J. McKenna will be named postmaster of the city of Ha/.lelon if CongrcAjman John J. Casey is given tho privilege of choice, 'was nia.de very clear last night by an an¬ nouncement from Mr. Casey himself. The present status of the .ippointmtiit, hovv'ever, is entirely outside Mr. Casey's domina¬ tion and rests with the bonding company -which certified Mr. McKenna's qualihcations.
A veritable avalanche of applications for the vacant office reached Mr. Casey yesterday at Washington and upon his return to this city to investigate conditions pertaining to the appoint¬ ment he -was immediately made the center of a rush of political workers. His first announcement was for a thorough investiga¬ tion of the affairs of the Hazleton postoffice.
Auditors were put upon the books and when they com¬ pleted their reports last night it was shown that the finances were in perfect balcince, the reports complete to date and every trans¬ action checked for immediate transmission to posteil headquar¬ ters. Congressman Casey declaied that the affairs of Postmaster McKenna were in the best order possible.
Immediate appointment of a postAiaster will be made by the bonding company which financially guaranteed Postmaster McKenna's transactions. This order is in keeping with the civil service practices. When the bonding company has completed its checking-off work an examination will be held under the ci-vil service commissioners and those who 3uccessfully pass the teat will be certified to President Vi'ilson.
Appointment of postmasters was taken out of the hands of congressmen by the act of March 31, 1917, which gives to the President the right of naming incumbents in first, second, third and foiuth class offices, the requirements being that the ap¬ pointee shall first have passed the civil service test. However. Congressman Casey declared laist night that he has jdready pe¬ titioned President Wilson to have Mrs. McKenna named to the oftice, permitting her to later satisfy the requirements of ex¬ amination.
The action of Congressmnn Casey is -widely indorsed in Hazleton and also elsewhere in the county. Numerous promi¬ nent ciUzens have asked that matters be arranged at Washing¬ ton so that Mrs. McKenna might have the benefit of the ap¬ pointment which her husband s death terminated. Mrs. Mc¬ Kenna, widow of the late postmaster, is the mother of eight children.

Forty New Cases of Flu Reported
After forly now easen of in¬ fluenza had be«n report'.'d yester¬ da.v, city and State health authori- tie« took steps la«t'ngilit to deter¬ mine whether the dl.>«ea8e has reached an epidemjc form in -Wyo- ing \"aJley. The reported c^ses have already pascied beyond thc one hun¬ dred mark. I'p to the present time phy.sicians were> not under orders to immediately report the develop- tn*nt of new cases with thc result that the total .-eports do not in¬ dicate the full extent to wblch in¬ fluenza has again -broken out here. In the future all physicians will be asked to report daily the num'bor of new ca.<!es being treated 'by them.
The forty new cases reported yes¬ terday were divided between the offices of Dr. M. A. Murray, dty physician, and Dr. Charies Miner, local representative of the State Department of Health. New re¬ ports were as follows: 'Wnikes-Barrc, 12; Plains, 18: Kingston. r>; "West Pittston, 8: Ashley, 1, and Plymouth, 1.
Both Dr. Murray and Dr. Miner issued a request to medical men to report all future outbreaks. In- fluenr.a is not listed among th^ con¬ tagious diseases of which dally re¬ ports mjust lie made under the health laws, but the two depart¬ ment heads bave urged that it be included In the future. Accordingly, within the next few days th€ authorities will be able to determine bow many cases of the diseaKe have developed In this city and sur¬ rounding Wyoming Valley. AU physicians were urged to cooperate.
A plea was made to ministers, priests and other clergrymen to speak of the Influenza outbreak to¬ day at all services in their churches. The clergymen are e-xpected to lay particular Importance on ways of prevention and the necessity of Im¬ mediate medical atention for all suspected cases.
In anticipation   of   an   epidemic, nurses, both professional and prac- j tical, have been asked to enroll at Red Cross headquarters In the Coal E^cchange building.
