i BY S. R. WINTERS. .
Washington, May 24. Charges have
been filed with the United States post
office department, against Frank Berk
emeyer, superintendent of mails In the
Asheville postofflce, alleging pro-German
activity and disloyal utterances.
The postoffice 'authorities in Wash
ington have entrusted the charges to
the keeping of an inspector who has
been authorized to make a- complete
Investigation.
Ed. J. Cantwell, secretary of the Na
tional Association of Letter Carriers,
is in receipt of affidavits charging the
Asheville official with pro-Germanism
and. disloyalty. He has taken cogni
zance of the serious charges and it is
understood that he is "responsible for
bringing the accusations to the notice
of the postmaster general in an au
thentic wayr
However, charges, against Berke-
meyer of a less authentic nature drift
ed to Washington officials some .time
ago. An Asheville woman preferred
the charges ibut upon investigation
the basic foundation proved to be
grounded oh hearsay evidence. ,The
postofflce department 'some what dis
counted the allegations because they
had been preferred by disgruntled par
ties that formerly held positions in
the Asheville office.
"If there is any truth In the charges,
we will fire him by wire," said one of
the chief officials to The , Star repre
sntative today. Meanwhile the Inspec
tor sifts through the evidence and
makes further investigations.
