Washington Feb l3-The Senate Committee on
postoffceS and Post Roads this morning consul
cred the Loud bill changing the rates on secohu-
class postage for than an hour without reac"-
ing any conclusions and adjourned TO meet on
Monday. There appears TO be conviction tha' inc
twisting laws relating second-class postage
should be modified but II Is thought that the LOUD
bill goes too far The outcome may be a genera
revision OF the postal laws.
The evidence before the committee tends 20 sno"
that tho rates paid the railroad companies lot
Transporting the mails IS exorbitant and that the
methods by which the average number OF POUNDS
carried IN a year IL determined are not just 10 the
Government The committee believes that II letter
hostage is reduced from TWO cents 10 one cent an
ounce much of the matter now attempted 20 Dc
sent as second-cass will be sent as hrs-class let

Il is probable that the committee Will make re-
port favorng the Loud bill materially amended. re-
ducing letter postage cent an ounce, ana re-

Attorney Ach Finishes His Argument
in the FiEel Habeas Corpus
Case.

The argument in the Figef habeas
corpus case was resumed by Attorney
Ach in Judge Cooks court yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, and he continued
speaking until 6. He reviewed at length
the evidence in the case which tended to
show that the defendant had killed Isaac
Hoffman.
Mr.. Ach laid particular stress on the
testimony of Figel, and pointed out the
differences in the statement made by him
TO Chief Lees and the evidence he gave
when on the stand before Judge
Campbell. In speaking of this statement
made to Chief Lees the attorney gave
the executive Of the Police Department a
gentle slap saying that the statement
given out was 50 changed as to be entirely
at variance with the notes as taken bv
Heyneman the stenographer and ac-
cused Chief Lees of wilIfully suppress
ing evidence.
The argument continued along the line
of the evidence of the forgeries and en-
beZZlemenis. and the impeachment of the
testimony of the alibi witnesses intro
duced by the defense.
Mr.. Ach concluded by calling the courts
attention to the crOss-examination of tha
defendant in regard to the sale of the
pistol TO Hoffman, and asked that the
Judge read it very carefully, and note the
evasve and contradictory answers given.
