REPLY OF POSTMASTER,
Most of Them Say Their Offices Are Being
Run Economically.

Washington, Jan. 24-About forty
postmasters have replied to the circular
sent out by Postmaster General Gary
asking what savings could be made in
the administration of their Offices dur
ing the remainder of the fiscal year I'm
order to avert a deficiency in the postal
appropriation. Nearly all of them set
out that their offices are now being run
on an economical basis and that any
further reduction of working force is
out of the question. The few excep-
tons to this rule admit that some saw
ing might be made, but say IL will Grip
pie the existing service to cut down the
force of employees. Meanwhile, personal
demonstrations against any reduction
in force that will impair the carrier de-
livery are being made to the officials
here. Among those who called at the
department for this purpose were Sena-
tors Hoar and Aldrich, Postmaster
Thomas OF Boston and Postmaster
Warfield OF Baltimore and the postmas-
ter at Woonsocket, r. /.
Now that congress has been made eff
fectually acquainted with the amount
OF probable deficiency and the deter
mination to cut the number OF deliver
les IL no appropriation is made to meet
It, the opinion is expressed that some
aid will be given the department. Even
II II is not forthcoming. the officials say.
a good purpose will be accomplished by
the information received from postmas-
ters In reply to the circular of inquiry.
In that IL will serve as q basis for future
calculations OF the requirements OF the
service In the localities affected.

TELLS OF THE POTASH.
L1stgert Continues His Testimony I'm Iii,
Own Behalf

Chicago, Jan. 24.-With the jury that
had his life in it's hands waiting impa-
tiently for him TO explain away, If pos
sible, the testimony given against him.
Adolph L. Luetgert continued his story
regarding his actions previous to and
on May l. The important feature of
the second day Of the sausagemakers
recital was his explanation of the rea-
son for the presence of the potash in
the factory. He said it had been in his
place of business for nearly two months
before the day Of his wife's disappear
ance; that II had not been concealed,
and that he was to make soft soap out
of it. The prisoner also told of his
sleeping i'm the factory which he ex-
planned was necessary because there
were many things to which to attend al
night A question was asked by Attor-
ney Harmon regarding Mrs. Feldt but
this subject was passed over quickly,
Luetgert simply saying that Christine
sometimes visited his house
The most sensational feature of Lieut.
gert's story was when his attorney
asked him to tell of the conversation
that occurred between him and his wife
al the supper table the evening of May
l. Luetgert hesitated before answer
ing and finally said he would not re-
peat that conversation unless COM
PEELED. Harmon insisted, and Luetgert,
after many pauses, told how his wife
had threatened 10 leave If the mortgage
on the factory was foreclosed. She said
she could not face ruin and would not
be there when the collapse occurred.
She said she did not wish to live to see
such an ending to their thirty years OF
hard work. Tears came to the eyes of
the defendant during this recital and
Jumps in his throat stopped his words.
The last time he saw his wife. he
said, was about 10:30 o'clock on the
night of May / He said he left her in
the kitchen, and taking his lantern.
went back TO the factory. The state
claims he induced Mrs. Luetgert to go
10 the factory with him.
