peared before Commissioner Spencer, hut
hearing the case was continued until to-

would be given Immediately. The dccis-
ion to continue brought up the question
of ball. and Foster stated that he had

,rhappy. Both men were held to bail
in the sum of $500, the amount fixed by
the commissioner for both charges. 500
for conspiracy to delay the mails and
500 for the charge of delaying the mails.
