A Check Put Upon IA Growing Evil il
the Star Route Service.

Second Assistant Postmaster General Whit
field has received information that the crimi-
nal action instituted under section 500, postal
laws and regulations, 1887, as provided in Sec
ton 1854, Revised Statutes, amended by act of
August II, 1876, against w. A. Stod-
dard, failing contractor, has resulted
in his conviction in the United States court at
Portland, Me. This is the first case on record
where a conviction has been secured in the
case of a failing contractor and it is believed
that the result will be to correct a great
and growing evil in the postal serv-
ice. Competition has become SO close,
owing to the large number of professional
contractors engaged in carrying the mails on
star routes. that i'll many cases there is only q
few dollars difference between the lowest bid
and the one next above it. Under the
system OF compromises for actual dam
ages, which was the difference between
the lowest bid and the next lowest plus the
cost OF temporary service, which had grown up
in the department, it was more advantageous
to fail and pay this difference than to perform
the service or employ a subcontractor when the
professional found that he had made a losing
contract.
Applications for compromises of this char
acter have been adversely reported upon by
Col. Whitfield. who has been fully sustained
by the Postmaster General upon APP
sum of the bond as the meas
ure Of damages, suit was brought under the
penal statute, and the resulting conviction
will no doubt tend to correct at once and
finally an evil that had threatened to practi-
cally disorganize the star service,

and both were jumped on by the hoodlums
and brutally assaulted. The woman was
knocked down and kicked in the stomach and

arrest the assailants. The primary cause was
the unrestricted sale of liquor in town during
