Washington, D. C, Nov. 14. Post master General Hitchcock announced yesterday that Charles P. Grandfield. the First Assistant Postmaster Gen eral, had been appointed postmaster of Washington to succeed Benjamin F. Barnes, who died last month. Mr. Hitchcock explained, in connec tion with his announcement, that Mr. Grandfield had been selected for the local postmastership in order to carry out certain idea? of the Postmaster General. He said that it was his de sire to make Washington the model postoffice of the United States, which would serve as a school of instruction for postmasters throughout the coun try, and an incentive to them to im prove conditions. Mr. Grandfield entered the service of the government twenty-five years ago as a postal clerk, and was Mr Hitchcock's right-hand man when the latter was First Assistant Postmaster General. He succeeded Mr. Hitchcock in that office when Mr. Hitchcock be came manager of the Taft pre-conven-tion campaign. According to Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. up the cry.
