Sweeping Changes in Work?

Washington. July 23.? The post;.of

good roads provision proposed by tlio
HoUre, and embracing a revised par

i n .v ? eis of d'stance. waiB reported to
t.-:. Senate to-day by Chairman Bourn'1
of th? Post-Office Committee nn?
provision makes .-, sweeping change In
t;,<- working hours of pottil employes.
The bill riontalrii many changes from
the form In which it was passed by
the House. The total appropriations !
ate above those of the House bill, ;
which were approximately 1260.000.- |
000, One of the ptineipal increases is
in the appropriation for ti e pay of ra'l
roads for transporting the malls, t'.-.o
.~?r.ate committee adding more than ,
In striking out t'le Shackelford good!
roads feature of the House bill, which!
provided for Federal improvement of i
highways, the Senate committee reeom- j
mends en Investigation by a special
commission, consisting of three House !
members and three Senators, and pro- ]
vldes for no highway Improv ement s !
, until th's commission has reported. 1
The Rarnhart amendment In the
House bill for the reguar publication;
of the names of stockholders Of news
papers and periodicals a so is changed. ]
The Senate Mil provides for publica- |
i tlon once a year, when lists of the
stockholders are required to be filed
i with the local postmaster.
Parcels Section < linncnl
The parcels section of the Senate bill
Is radically different from that Incor?
porated In the House bill, which pro?
vided a flat rate of postage for all
'distances. The Senate provision Is
that of the Bourne hill, slightly modi
fled. Senator Bourne recommended
! that third atid fourth class mail matter
I be combined for the parcels post scr
Ivlee; but the bill makes the parcels
I post apply only to fourth class tnat
i ter.
The Senate committee struck out
of the House bill th: provision giving
portal employes the right to combine
in labor unions, and the right to po
1 tltlon Congress for rerfress of their i
? grievances.
It also provided for the abolishment
of the present system of carrying;
second class mail by fast freight un?
der what Is known as the "blue flag" j
system. Under the Senate bill all sec?
ond class would be put back Into reg?
ular mall cars after August 31.
Enrouracenient fo.- Inventors In the |
postal service Is also carried In tho |
Senate bill The Postmaster-General j
would be authorized under the meas- j
ure to pay $1.000 for any invention
of a postal employe that is adopted
for use In the service.
Pneumatic Tube Ser%1ce
A special commission la also pro?
posed to investigate the subject of
pneumatic tube ser-.Ice and determine
whether tha government shall purchase
that now in use In various cities. A
M 0,000 appropriation Is authorized for
Improved mechanical devices In tha
Chicago Post-Office. which is now
overcrowded
Steel cars for railway mail service,
which were required by the House bill
to be in universal use by American ;
rr.llroads in 1317. also are required by:
to* Senate bill.
The House hill required the railroads i
I to replace 20 per cent, of Its wooden]
mail cars every year, while the Senate !
bill would give the road one year of i
grace nnd then re-jnlre them to re?
place 25 per cent, of their cars earh
year for four years.
ilonr? fo? Employes,
The provision relating to hours for
employes is to the effect that the !
eight hours that postal clerks and car?
riers In the larger offices of the coim
jtry are required to work each day
I shall not extend over more than ten
consecutive hour?.
7'or years It has been tho practice of
the Post-Office Department in Office?
throughout the country to have the
eight hours of work extend over fif?
teen or eighteen consecutive hours.
There would be eight hours Of duty,
but those eight hours would be scat?
tered through the dny. in two or three
hour shift?, so that many more than
?light hours of the worker's time was
required.
Efforts have been made for many
years to Ret Congress to tnko some
action to remedy this grievance on tho
part of the postal clerks and carriers,
but the Post-Office Department has usu?
ally replied that the limitation of the
eight hoars of work to ton consucutivo
hours would necessitate the hiring of
additional men and would largely in?
crease the cost of the postal service.
Last winter Representatives Reilly.
of Connecticut, and Curley, of Massa?
chusetts, became champions of the
cause of the postal clerks and carriers
In this regard, and they Interested
many other members of the House. Th?
result vas the incorporation In tho
post-office appropriation bill as it
passed the House of this provision
that the eight hours of work of letter
carriers ind postal clerks In the ftr-:t
and second-clnss post-offices shall not
extend over.a period of more than ten
consecutive hours.
When the bill was taken up by the
Senate Committee on Post-Offlces for
amendment many compromises ?11 thu
provision were suggested, but frier..,:
of the provision stirred up members of
the committee and of the Seriate In Its
behalf, and the committee voted to let
It remain.
The Senate committee, however. Ins
made one change In the provision. The

to-day and was held by the coroner
v Ithout ball for examination on a
charge of complicity in the murder.
Apparently th* authorities were

Vallon. ni'.housh Its n-r.:- was not

down the gauntlet to the police de?

smells of police connivance."

Her husband had promised to tell Dis?
trict Attorney Whitman wh.it i.e knew
about the alleged partnership between
the police and Xew York gamblers.
I The district attorney now hopes to get
many of the facts from Mrs. Rosen

Mrs. Rosenthal Is believed to have
told the grand Jury to-day much about

Whether the. four gang-stork still at

he "will protect every man In this
case" if he can get the evidence he
wants against policemen, evidence
which he claims h< knows exists. But
Commissioner Dougherty and his prl

j Action W'iU Be Bitterly Con?

Washington. July 2:;.?President
ITaft's Tariff Board secured the prom?
ise of one more year of life from the
j Senate to-day. After a short fight that
I body, by a vote of 3t to 20. authorized
I in the sundry civil appropriation bill
Ian expenditure of $22.*.000 for another
year's work of investigation by the
I tariff expert?
Whether the appropriation is finally
j made will depend upon the strength
with which the House resists the. Sen
I ate's demands. Tl.c House refused i'.
provide tor the Tariff Hoard when It
' framed the sundry civil bill, und Its
conferees are expected to tight tho
provision when tho big supply measure
is sent Into conference bet/eon the
two houses.
Democrats opposed the Tariff Boarl
provision to-day. with but three ex
' ceptions?Senators Chamberlain, New
! lands and Thornton?while the regul.ir
j and progressive Republicans were
I united in its support. The first move
I by tho Demoorjts was an amendment
. by Senator? Stone and Bacon for a
! congressional tariff commission. t?j
[consist of live Senators and five, mem
i bers of the House This plan was de
I feated by a straight party vote, 31
to 21.
The presidential Tariff Board was
made subservient to Congress, how?
ever, by an amendment of Senatoi
' Bristow. accepted by the Senate With
i out a vote, which requires the board to
I report to Congress once each year,
j The Senate practically completed th?
?sundry civil Mil to-night, but the
passage - f the measure was delayed
until to-morrow.
President T.tfts tariff veto nVensages
and the work of some of the experts on
the Tariff Board were bittet ly ar?
raigned during tho debate in the Sen?
ate. Senator Overman declared Presi?
dent Taft's veto message on the cotton
[arid chemical bill was "one of tue most
j remarkable documents ever penned or
' ever' sent to Congress."
lie declared the President had been
[misled by an expert of the Tariff Hoard.
] who had made calculations on :t "false
(basis of price." and using the short top
Instead of tne lone ton In his estlma
: tion. On tills theory, said Senator Over
? man. President T.ift had sent a veto
message as to the chemical schedU/li
; that was "full of error and misstate

The Democrats fought the Tariff
Board, declaring it was an agency not
' as well qualified to llnd out fads as n
J congressional committee would he., The

The personal popularity of the com?
missioner was shown Ivy the constant
Inquiries as to It's condition during
the weeks that have gone by since he
became ill. and by the general solici?
tude last night when his death was
announced. Loyalty to the men who
were his associates, whether In busi?
ness, politics or soc'al life, was tho
predominating eharacter'stlc of Mr.
Manning, and this trait will be long
remembered.
Native ?i Richmond.
Chr'stopher Manning. .Ir.. was born
In Richmond on October IT. 1874, th?
son of Christopher Manning and
Bridget Manning. He was educated at
St. Peter's School. He then entered
tho plumbing establ'shment of his
father, and rrrew Into tin- business
which was his life's employment Iii.?
business efforts were uniformly suc?
cessful. Throughout his mature rears
he had been secretary' and treasurer
of the C. Manning Plumbing Company,
it IUI Rast Main Street
Early in life, Mr. Manning showed
a deep interest In politics and in tho
I problems of government. An ardent
Democrat, he gathered popularity as
a political leader In tho eastern part
of the city. He served as a member
of the City Democratic Committee. In
campaign times he could always bo
found a'dlng In getting out the party
vote, and his advice was always sought
In party councils.
In return. Mr. Manning's home peo?
ple in Jefferson Ward constantly of?
fered to elect him to the City Council,
but ho always declined the honor.
On Police Board,
In 1901 Mr. Manning was elected a
member of the Board of Police Cotu
m'sslonors. entering upon his duties In
July of that year. He had since served
continuously as the member from Jef
1 ferson Ward. Almost from the be
i ginning, ho made a record as an ag?
gressive official, advocating many rc
: forms and always urging the advance?
ment of the efficiency of the Police
I Department.
I At his home last night, Chief of
Police Louis Werner, who arrived
i within a few minutes after the com?
missioner's death, said:
"Mr. Manning had n great many
'friends, and tho mutual greetings on
I tho streets were always Jovial. Rut
when the door closed behind the Po?
llen Hoard, he laid all private friend?
ships aside, and became the servant
of the public."
j The throe stat'Ons will be draped In
mourning and a special police detail
has been ordered to stand In front
I of the Manning residence until the
funeral is held.
I No proposition for the advancement
I of the Interests of the city made its
j appearance without receiving not only
the hearty Indorsement but the active
I support of Mr. Manning. He Identified
h'mself with every movement for civi(;
betterment. Whother it was the es
tens'on of publicly owned utilities, or
beaut'fleattou of public properties, or
enterpr'se* Intended to make Rich?
mond more important, he was always
ready to help.

At the time of his death he was an
active .-pint in the building of a rail?
road between Richmond and Tidewater,
and was a director in tli? Richmond
and Rappahannock River Railway,
which is under bond to extend tho

a member of Company F. First Vir?
ginia Infantry, and was much inter?
ested In military matters.
He married Miss Essie (irlnics, a,
daughter of Alderman John R. Grimes,
who survives him. He leaved also tv.o

night, that within a very few months
two young men of public spirit, de?
voted per.-ou.ii- friend*, should bavo
