Howard, However, Will Be-
main Boss Until $12,000
Bond Is Filed With
Government.
GOOD RECORD MADE
Receipts Doubled During
Eight Year Term of Re-
tiring Postmaster.
Two or three days will probably
elapse before C. Irflng Byington.
newly appointed postmaster. will as-
sumo active charge of the First Dis-
trict post-office. The delay is neces—
sitated by government regulations
calling for the filing of a bond. This
bond in the ense of the new ap-
pointee is for 312,000. Mr. Bylngtori
expects to secure the bond today and
for-word it to \"ashington. D. (‘7. In
the meantime. Michael J. llownrd. re-
tiring postmaster. retains active
charge of the office awaiting fur-
ther orders from post-office of-
ficlals.
The appointment received by Mr.
Bylngton. prominent contractor. is
what is known as a "recess appoint-
ment". it will have to be confirmed
when congress again réconvencs in
December. The temporary appoint-
ment of the Contractor practically
ends a bitter polltlclnl fight for the
postmastcrship between he and De-
puty Sheriff Nelson \l’. Benedict.
“'hen Mr. Howard retires as post-
master he will give his entire time
to the Howard Agency. Inc.. real es-
tate and insurance of which he is
president and treasurer. The businem
is located in the Regent building.
Samuel J. Kanter is vhe president
and Mlss Emma Millard. secretary.
During the eight rears and a half
that Mr. Howard has been in, charge
of the Fit“ District postoofflce mafl
changes have taken place. The ”rest-
office receipts have more than doub-
led. It was during his term of office
that the post—office was made first-
class. Originally the parcel poet busi-
ness required only four hours a day;
today the business calls for the ser-
vices of a clerk for eight hours and
the use of an automobile instead of
a horse and wagon.
The new postmaster. Mr. Bylngton,
is a member of many fraternal or-
ganizations. He was a district deputy
of the Elks for Connecticut. a mem—
ber of the Odd Fellows. Our Brn-

PRESIDENTIAL HEADQUARTERS.
PALACE HOTEL. SAN FRANCISCO.
Aug. :.——(By the Associated Press).—
Time seemed today to be the chief
element in the recovery of President
Harding. The President awoke early
this morning after a rcf‘reshing sleep.
without any traces of fever. Bis tem-
perature at 8 o‘clock was 98. respir-
ation 32 and pulse 110.
Brig-General Sawyer asked that it
be remembered that President Hard-
ing still was a sick man and also that
there might be some “ups and
downs." For these reasons it appear-
ed that the physicians would be reluct-
ant to approve at this time any plan
for the future with respect either to
remaining in San Francisco or leming
the city for some nearby place of
quiet. or to return to “’ashington.
"\V‘e have got to feel our way
along." said Dr. Sawyer. and that
seemed to epitomize the feeling of
other physicians.
"'The President's convalescence is
going to take time," said General Saw-
yer. but in answer to the question. as
to how much time. all that General
Sawyer would say was: “You never
can elect a. time to be sick. You like-

DISAPPEAR
Henry Orrell, Postal Mes:

Much mystery surrounds the dis-
appearance of Henry Orrcli of the
Tokeneke road and Carl Adams of
Newton Heights. who left town ear-
ly Tuesday evening without notifying
anyone where they were going. not
even their parents. Mr. Orrell is a
postal messenger at the Darien post
office. He is also janitor of the Roylo
school and was formerly janitor of
the Darlen Home Bank and Trust
company.
He left the post office without noti-
fying Postmaster Frederick H. Smith.
The government law requires an em-
