In the course of their talk they stated that

the Measure.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3O.-The senate COM
mittee on postofices and post roads today
| concluded its hearing on the Loud bill, re-
pealing certain provisions of existing law
in regard to second class mail matter Gov
ernor Cleavcs of Maine made the first argu-
ment before the committee today He APP
peared in opposition to the bill, saying
that If 1t should become law II would in
jurluusly affect many people. He held that
to exclude sample copies of newspapers with
out giving q year OF grace would be to in
validate many advertising contracts, which
had been made on the strength of the assur-
ance of cheap postage contained in the pres
ent law. Mr. Wheeler OF Houghton, Mifflin
& Co. contended that most of the cheap
books distributed as second-class matter
under the present law were of high char
acter. Mr.. Wheeler contended that nine
tenths of the abuses were due to non
enforcement of the present laws He said
that one Of two courses were open. The first
of these was to depend upon the next post
master general to reverse the present rul-
ings and the second Is to amend the law so
as to exclude Objectionable matter.
'Do you think" asked Senator Chandler
you could find Mr.. Mckinley postmaster
general with nerve enough to do that?"
81 do" replied Mr.. Wheeler, "Mr. Wilson
has indicated that he might undertake it,"
Perhaps, then" responded Mr.. Chandler
ut would be good idea for Mckinley to
keep Mr.. Wilson and let him do it,
81 wish he would" said Mr.. Wheeler
Hon. Herman j. Coleman, ex-secretary of
agriculture, antagonized the bill as opposed
to the interests Of the farmers, especially
of the people of the west who would, he said
