There arrived in Washington on Mon
day, gentleman who is taking great in
terest in the Star route prosecution. His
name is Jennings and he comes here to tell
a little story which is without doubt a
counterfeit Of what hundreds Of other sub.
contractors could tell were they SO disposed.
Among Dorsey's routes in Montana one
was about 200 miles in length. The
schedule allowed eishty-fo hours for the
trip and required three trips per week The
pay for service was $4,000. Dorsey sub.
let this route to Jennings for $1,,ooo and
pocketed $1,000 per year clear cash.
Dorsey two years since went to work and
had the route expedited from s. to 60 hours
and the pay consequently raised to $4,000.
He pocketed the 81 5000 additional pay and
told Jennings he had better make his trip
in 60 hours. He attempted to do his work
in 60 hours but failed frequnntly, owing
to the insufficient equipment. As result
fines were inflicted, and last year Jennings
fines exceeded his pay as sub-contractor
$1,000. This proceeding naturally made
Jennings contract Improbable, and he was
obliged to throw it up. The Government
is thoroughly Investigating, and It is
thought Jennings fines will be remitted
eventually.
