NOT PLANNED TO ABOLISH
PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES
Postal Officials Denv That Post
master General Burleson Already
Has Beached Decision.
Charges recently mrde by persons
in touch with the Pneumatic Tube
companies of Philadelphia, Boston,
Chicago and New York, which asserted
that. Postmaster General Burleson already
has decided to abolish the pneumatic
system in these cities, are refuted
at the Post Office Department. f
It was stated in the charges that Mr.
Burleson proposed to substitute for the
tube systems motor car service, and
that the tube companies and business
interests in each of the cities were
strongly opposed to such a course.
At the office of the first assistant postmaster
general, which office has charge
of the tube system, it was stated last
night that an investigation in the
tube system has been going on for
nearly eight months, and is merely
being conducted as are the investigations
in any other branch of the service.
It was stated that naturally those
interested in the tube contracts have
regarded the investigation with suspicion,
but it was definitely asserted
that no action had been taken nor was
any contemplated in the near future.
Chief Inspector Koons, vice chairman
of the committee which has charge
of the investigation, stated that the
final report of the committee had not
been made, but would be in the near
future.
"I know nothing of any such plan as
that of abolishing the tube systems,"
said the chief inspector. "I should say
that some one interested in the contracts
had been drawing on their imagination."
J. F. BBOCKWELL DEAD.
Was One of Youngest Men Ever Appointed
Patent Examiner.

aminer at the patent office, died Friday
evening at the home of his parents,

service's are to be held at Holy Name
Church Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.
Interment is to be in Mount Olivet

twenty-three years old, was a graduate
of George Washington University,
where he last year won a fiftydollar
prize for his excellence in chemistry.
He was prominent in the Chemical
Society of George Washington
University, having been president and
treasurer for one year each. He was
also a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa
Fraternity. He graduated from the
Business High School in 1909.
had lived in Washington practically
all his life, although he was born
in Alexandria. Va. He leaves his parents.

and three brothers, William A., Joseph
M. and Paul A. Brockwell.
