"CROW BAIT" MAIL WAGON HORSES
THE WRECKS WHICH PLY FROM THE
POSTOFFICE.

The attention of Charles H. Hankinson. the
superintende of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, has been called to the
"crow bat' variety of horses attached to some
Of the mail wagons in the city. and he has d.
rected Investigations which may result in stop
ping the use Of the more decrepit animals
owned by the contractor who conveys the
United States mails between the Postoff1ce and
the railway stations. Incidentally 1t has been
suggested that some of the horses attached to
mail wagons might be exhibited at the Horse
Show. not in competition for prizes but in con-
trast with the well fed and well groomed
petitors for prizes.
Many people of the city have had occasion TO
feel ashamed and sorry because the contract
of the government permits the use of horses
that no seIf-respecting truckman would keep
in his stable. Compared with the horses used
by the express companies and those attached 10
delivery wagons. some of the horses that draw
the mail wagons pitiable wrecks. They are
inferior even the disappearing streetcar
horses. They appear to he overworked and poor
ly cared for. Some of them, which are allowed
to stand without blankets in cold weather in
the early morning hours seem TO be suffering
Mr.. Hankinson said yesterday that he had made
inquiry and had learned that blankets for all
the horses are provided by the contractor. and
he would have officers see that the blankets were
placed on the horses when they were kept
standing in cold weather.
We have considerable trouble with the mail
contractors on account OF their horses Mr.
Hankinson said. II have understood that the
contract with the government makes 1t neces-
sary for the contractor to use the greatest
care and economy and that the expense OF
using automobiles for mall delivery in the city
could not be thought of for that reason There
has been a change of contractors recently. A
H Boomer IS the present contractor. am thus
far we have not arrested any OF his men. but
we have sent back 10 the stables some or the
horses which found in front OF the mail
wagons and have warned the drivers not TO take
those horses again. Only day before yes
terday one OF the mail wagons was stopped IN
front Of my office. The horse was decrepit and
had swollen legs. We held the wagon until the
horse could be taken TO the stable and a new
horse substituted and the driver was warned
"One of the employees of the former contractor
was fined $50 in February. He was George
McCovern the stableman. We had arrested
driver in charge of horse covered with sores
and the case made against McGovern for
permitting such a horse TO be sent out or the
stable Drivers of mail wagons must put blan-
kets on the horses that are allowed TO stand at
the Postoffice in cold weather or they VIII be
