Postmaster General Burleson
Announces He Will Issue
Order Today for Changes.
EXPLAINS HIS ACTION
TO SENATE COMMITTEE
Declares There Was Widespread
Complaint Against Special Stamp.
No Loss to Be Incurred.
Despite senatorial criticism of the
proposed reduction In parcel post
rates and the increase in the size of
packages, Postmaster General Burleson
today announced he would issue the
linal orders this afternoon, putting the
changes in effect August 15.
This announcement came after the wis
dom of making the changes had been
subjected to a searching review before
the Senate post office committee in the
presence of the Postmaster General. Sen
ator Bristow of Kansas and Senator
Bryan 01 Florid?, led in the attack upon
the proposed changes. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, replying to their criticism,
produced figures to show that the new
rates would be profit making, and de
clared that the parcel post law gave him
abundant authority to make the changes
"in order to promote the service to the
public."
Chairman E. E. Clark of the interstate
commerce commission, explaining why the
commission had sanctioned the proposed
changes, said he believed the Postmaster
General had ample power under the law
to make the changes.
"I am convinced that the Post Office
Department ought to, can, and will extend
the parcels post until it will carry all
packages up to 100 pounds," he added.
"The Postmaster General assured us
that progress must be made slowly, be
cause the facilities of the department
for handling parcel post business had to
keep pace with the increased business."
Report Made to Him in June.
In the course of the hearing Postmas
ter General Burleson stated that the sug
gestion of a reduction of rates and In
crease of the size of packages from
eleven pounds to twenty had been pre
sented to him by a departmental com
mittee in June, but on account of a Wall
street flurry he had deemed it wise, as
a conservative public official, to post
pone action until the last few days.
Mr. Burleson contended that his de
partment had investigated every phase of
the question and was satisfied that the
government would reap a profit on twen
ty-pound packages of 10 cents. Senator
Bryan contended that figures produced for
the Senate commitee last winter showed
there would be a loss of 8 cents.
Postmaster General Burleson was
questioned by the senators as to his
authority to abolish the special parcel
post stamp. Senator Bristow contend
ed this was the only method of ascer
taining the cost of the service.
Mr. Burleson replied the stamp was
the source of so much complaint that
he had come to regard the stamp as a
requirement he would abolish in the
interest of the public.
He declared it was ascertained
that the stamp prevented the shipment
of many articles and a departmental com
mittee reported to him that, although the
law required the stamp to be attached,
I yet that was a condition of mailability
and hence one that could he changed by
the department without the consent of
Con Kress.
'Don't you think those who drafted the
law were not better able to Interpret It
than departmental officials?" asked Sena
tor Bristow.
"No. sir," responded Mr. Burleson. "A
lawyer who had never seen the law might
be best qualified to interpret it."
Senator Hoke Smith asked If the solici
tor of the department had given an opin
ion on the matter.
?No. sir," said Mr. Burleson- "It seem
ed so clear to me. being a corn-fed law
yer myself, that I changed it without an
opinion."
No Loss in Change, He Says.
Mr, Burleson contended nothing had
been lost by the abolishing of the stamp,
because he had been able to approxi
mate receipts of the parcel post by hav
ing accounts kept at fifty large post of
fices where 50 per cent of the mall busi
ness is done.
Senator Bristow wanted to know how
this represented the business done at
rural offices.
"How does that show how much the
people on rural routes in Texas used the
parcel post?" asked Senator Bristow.
Mr. Burleson said that the stamp would
not increase the business nor indicate the
cost, and in response to Senator Swan
son said he could have the accounts kept
at fifty small post offices with the great
est of'ease and without annoyance to the
public. m /v-.
"That would be a small part of 30,uw
post officcs." interposed Senator Bristow.
Postmaster General Burleson next took
up Ills order reducing the cost of sending
articles in the first and second zones and
increasing the size of packages from
eleven to twenty pounds.
lie read ' a letter from the interstate
commerce commission to the Postmaster
General stating that after conferences
with him and departmental officials it was
satisfied that conditions were such as to
prevent the shipment by the parcel post
of many articles, and that the proposed
changes were "In order to promote the
service to the public."
Study Given to Changes.
Mr. Burleson said the department had
studied the proposed changes carefully
"in order to promote the service to the
public." A very intelligent committee of
the department, assisted by Representa
tives Lewis of Maryland and Kindel of i
Colorado, having the matter in charge.
When i'ostmaster General Burleson be
gan to explain his authority to make the
changes Senator Bristow said he believed
the Postmaster General had authority to
change the rates and zones if the inter
state commerce commission approved.
"So do l," added Senator Hoke Smith,
"but 1 am not so sure about the dis
tinctive stamp."
.,or 1," added Senator Lea.
Mr. Burleson read to the committee a
report submitted to him by his depart
mental committee, showing the weight
limit was sucn as to prevent the ship
ment by the parcel post of articles upon
which money could be made.
Senator Bristow asked if money was
not now being lost on the long hauls.
Mr. Burleson retorted that that was
a hard question to answer, but If it
were true that would be all the more
reason for changing the regulations in
the first and second zones, so as to
make money to ofltset the loss.
Senator Bristow said that would brtng
up a big question of whether money
should be made on any business.
Promises Further Reduction.
"1 felt that Congress wanted the Post
master General to go ahead and Im
prove this service, and not to be con
tent with standing still," continued Mr.
Burleson. "We are going to make
money on this new business, and we
will be able to make further reductions
in rates, too."
"Every important step we take is in
the nature of an experiment." he added.
"For instance, they estimated before
the law went into effect that SO?,000,000
packages would be handled in a year,
and now we know they will handle 600,
000,000." ? . ,
In explaining the revenues received
from parcel post matter Postmaster
General Burleson said that since the
introduction of the parcel post the
' revenue of the Chicago post office had
increased 21.S3 per cent, an increase in
his opinion dus to the parcel post He
> said this was the greatest increase In
the history of the Chicago office,
j "That's because the bia mail order
homes are located there," interrupted
Senator Bristow.
"Yes. and they were honestly m ta
vor of abolishing: the parcel post
stamp," said Mr. Burleson.
"I dare say in favor of the reduced
cost and increased size," said Senator
Bristow.
Shows Profit to Government.
Postmaster General Burleson pro
duced "the latest figures" to show that
on twenty-pound packages the govern
ment would make a profit of 10 cents,
genator Bryan declared there would be
9 loss of S cents and based that as
sertion on figures prepared by the Sen
ate post office committee "after a year s
work" on the rates.
Senator Bristow asked why the de
partment had "paid such scant atten
tion" to the request of the Joint parcel
post commission created by Congress
for data as to the working of the
parcel post.
Mr. Burleson retorted the joint com
mission had no exclusive power over
the subject. He said his department
had labored diligently to get up the
data desired by the joint commission
and would forward it tomorrow.
"What's the nse of Congress appro
priating *25,000 for the work of the com
mission if its co-operation is not wanted
by the Post Office Department?" asked
Senator Bristow.
Mr. Burleson objected to this state
ment that "co-operation was not desired."
He said he had accepted the word of the
department offioiaJs that they had been
unable, thus far to complete the data de
sired by the congressional joint commis
sion.
Not to Grant Hearings.
Chairman Clark stated to the committee
that the commission interpreted the parcel
post law as not requiring it to grant full
hearings on proposed rate changes as it
did in freight rate inquiries. It was the
commission's duty, he said, to see that
the Post Office Department did not re
duce rates below the cost of carrying the
business.
"In other words, you think Congress
intended you should merely investigate
what the Postmaster General said was
the cost," inquired Senator Bristow
with some heat.
"Isn't it a fact that you spent two
years to find out whether the express
rates were too high and only ten days
to ascertain whether the parcels post
rates were proper?" inquired Senator
Bryan of Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark replied that was true, but
that the two services could not be
compared.
He added that investigations of the ex
press companies showed that there was
no cost of service as low as the rates
proposed by the Postmaster General.
"But we did not think we were con
servators of the express companies in
competition with the United States," said
Mr. Clark.
Postmaster General Burleson inter
rupted to suggest that express rates
would probably be reduced shortly.
Says It Lacks Jurisdiction.
Public hearings will not be held by the
Interstate commerce % commission upon
the expediency of the changes proposed
by the Post Office Department In the
rates and zones and weights of parcel
post matter. In a statement issued today
the commission says It has no jurisdic
tion over the compensation paid by the
postal service for hauling the mails. In
part, the statement follows:
"The commission does not consider that
the provisions of the parcel post act to
the effect that certain changes may be
made by the Postmaster General with the
consent of the commission, contemplates
that the commission shall necessarily ?.old
hearings on such proposals, but vhen,
after such investigation as it deems fit.
the commission is satisfied that the pro
posed changes are "in order to promote
the service to the public or to Insure the
receipt of revenue from such service ad
equate to pay the cost thereof, ' it is prop
er for the commission to give its consent
to the change.
"The question of compensation to the
carriers for hauling the mails is a matter
of contract between them and the Post
Office Department, in connection with
which this commission has no jurisdic-r
tion."
Request for $20,000 for
Further Investigation Quick
ly Loosens Tongues.
Representative Johnson's resolution pro
viding for $30,000 for further investiga
tion into the District of Columbia affairs
brought up in the House by Mr. Johnson i
this afternoon provoked a tremendous
political discussion In which the Philip
pine Islands, the democratic platform,
the Washington Market Company, the
Attorney General and nearly everything
else were mentioned. The resolution prob
ably will not pass the House this after
noon before adjournment.
Representative Campbell of Kansas,
rising to speak against the resolution,
said that investi Rations already made
and about to be made by the democrats
looked like farces to him.
"There is no necessity for Congress
to appropriate $15,000 at one time and
$20,000 at another time to do a work
in the District of Columbia that should
have been done by the auditor for the
Treasury Department free.
l If it is true that the District of Colum
bia owes a million dollars to the United
States government then that work should
be done by an auditor instead of a legis
lator. _
"If the officials of the Treasury De
partment cannot ascertain such matters
then let the Department of Justice do it.
He said he had read many newspaper
articles on the subject.
Told of $1,000,000 Debt.
"You need not be surprised," said Rep
resentative Johnson, "at anything you
see in the Washington newspapers, but
let me tell you that the auditor for the
District of Columbia told me at the;
White House that $1,000,000 Is due from
the District to the United States govern
ment on the payment that should have
been made on account of the old 3.65
bonds."
"We have made ourselves ridiculous
in the face of the eountry," said Mr.
Campbell. "We have investigated ev
erything on the slightest pretense.
We are investigating at both ends of
the Capitol until it is almost impos
sible to engage the attention of the
country. We are arriving at no con
clusion and are dishing out sensational
rot."
Representative Mann commended the
District of Columbia investigation,
saying it was money well spent.
Takes Feck at Democrats.
"I do not agree with Mr. Johnson," he
said, "as to this million dollars. He may
be right, but right or wrong I think it is
a good thing to have a real investigation
where men will work. Most of our inves
tigation* are run on political lines instead
of business. The gentleman from Ken
tucky has done good work, but when we
on this side of the House want to investi
gate the Attorney General's office you
democrats apply the gag. You have been
in power only a few months, but you are
afraid already to have your officials In
vestigated.
Following him. Mr. Kelly of Pennsyl
vania, a progressive, made a long politi
cal speech regarding the House rules, and
Representative Austin of Tennessee, a
republican, made a speech which men
tioned the United States insular pos
sessions and the democratic platform and
got down to the District of Columbia
by praising Mr. Johnson for having a
committee that would work in the sum
mer time.
When Mr. Johnson rose to present the
resolution, he explained the findings of
the committee regarding the $1,000,000
said to be owed to the United States,
the facts of which have been printed in
The Star.
Following a speech from Representa
tive Cox of Indiana, in which he con
nected oleomargarine with the District
of Columbia. Representative Mann
started a filibuster against the resolu
tion. and at a late hour this afternoon
Speaker Clark had ordered a roll oall
or the House.
PRESIDENT MOVES
TO AVERT A BREAK
(Continued From First Page.)
.passage of a bill, ,and -win adherents to
the administration bill.
"Insniyents" Wlngo and RagsdsJe have
been invited to confer with the President,
In the spirit of "open-mlndedness" which
the President maintains toward the opin
ions of others. Other "insurgents" will
also be asked to unbosom themselves to
the executive in the hope of getting an
agreement of some kind out of all the
mass of individual opinion.
Up to the President.
That it is incumbent upon the Presi
dent to take the sltaution in hand and
bring order out of existing chaos is ad
mitted by all. "It's up to President Wil
son," Is the remark most frequently
heard.
This necessity is emphasized bv the
fact that the militant leadership of the
House is not very enthusiastic at best
over currency legislation, and has
not been from the first. The leadership
fears currency will interfere with tariff,
but has been content to keep hands off
and let It be shown what the adminis
tration can do with a currency bill.
That attitude is well known to the "in
sergents." and is thought to have at
least not acted as a deterrent even If it
has not encouraged them. It Is a wide
open contest as the case stands, and the
"insurgents" are said to feel that they
have as much standing in court for
their ideas as any one else.
The republicans are much pleased with
the mess In which the democrats find
themselves, and are freely predicting |
that the democratic party will be unable
to agree upon a bill to meet the demands
of the country for practical currency re
form.
Criticism by Mr. Mann.
"It is the same old party," said Minor
ity Leader Mann today, "incompetent and
Incapable of actual government, princi
pally useful for furnishing chautaqua lec
tures while it tries to destroy the right of
the minority in the House to call atten
tion to its shortcomings.
"The party wants flat money and the
jobs. The civil service law is being prac
tically violated right along so as to give
the jobs. and when it gets the jobs it
will split with the President unless he
agrees to inflation.
"The Glass-administration currency
bill was bad enough In the way of po
litical control, but it was not bad
enough to suit the democratic party
inflationists. It is the same old party
which wanted to issue unlimited green
back currency, which favored free sil
ver, which opposed the gold standard
and is still at it. President Wilson can
not control it as against currency in
flation and fiat money."
Further elaboration of Mr. Henry's
plan for agricultural, industrial and
mercantile currency waa furnished to
day by the author of the proposed
amendments submitted by him to the
banking and currency committee last
night. Mr. Henry thinks that if the
bankers can have currency r.gainst
what he terms their "moth-eaten" assets,
the farmers, merchants and industrial
w'?fKers should have currency against
visible and tangible assets to the extent
of 50 per cent of their valae.
Plans of Representative Henry.
Mr. Henry would print the pew cur
rency so that it would show exactly
what it is intended for and could be
segregated. On* the agricultural notes
he would print cotton bales and corn
stalks; on the industrial notes the
figure of Vulcan at the forge, and on
the commercial notes Hermes, the
mythological tvpiflcatlon of trade.
Further elaborating his ideas of these
three classes of currency. Mr. Henry's
statement says:
"The provision for industrial currency
to the states will be the most solvent
and salutary of any feature and the
most far reaching. Under It there will soon
develop a wonderful system of Internal
state Improvements to bless and beautify
our whole country, and still carry to com
mon labor and business a constant flow
of money at cost. Going out from the
government to the states as a godsend,
It flows down to the counties and cities
as a messenger of peace and prosperity.
It will leave its glorious impress on the
land, filling it with public comfort and
joy and then return to the government
which gave It.
Regarding Agricultural Currency.
"The agricultural currency goes free
from usury to the most patient, long
1 suffering element of our national life, the
farmer, the mudsill In the bridge that
passes us from poverty to prosperity. It
will enable him to coin one-half of his
staple crop into cash and hold the same
till the price level reaches fair and Just
figures. Being automatic and elastic, it
will prevent a congested market, help to
turn traffic in the crop along natural and
economic lines and set the country free
from all combinations which seek to de
moralize trade and monopolize farm prod
ucts. ?
"When these principles are once put
into practice they will be enlarged, finally
opening the way to the most wonderful
development and prosperity the world
ever knew. The mind can hardly con
template its progressive utility.
"We have seen proper to limit the state
to 110,000,000 lest a state might be led
by an abnormal spirit of development by
industrial votes to demand an excessive
emission of currency.
"The limit of $200,000,000 will prevent
any excess In the currency, and by this
iii * now into and from the states It
will tend to solve our labor problem by
steady ahd honorable employment to
workingmen, and free the states at the I
same time from all depression in the
money market, and fix a never-failing
market for her bonds at the lowest pos
sible interest. And the most glorious
feature is that it will enable the states
to carry on their internal domestic af
fairs regrdless of panics and money
stringencies in any part of the world. '

Sea Captain Shouts Greeting to Sis
ter After Ten Years.
PHILADELPHIA. July 23.?Por the
first time In ten years Capt. Danieisen
of the Norwegian steamship Cibao got
close enough yesterday to the Norwegian

BATHER WITHOUT HOSE
Atlantic City Sojourner Startles
Guards With Innovation.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. July 25.-A
miss of twenty appeared on the beach
above the Steel Pier without any stock
ings. The guards hastily consulted the
rules, read them through, aqd held a con
ference. Finally, they delegated one of
their number to tell the visitor that it was
all right, not being against the rules, but
that perhaps she might think It a little
too much of an Innovation.
