PHILADELPHIA RESUMES
PNEUMATIC TUBE SERVICE
Assistant Postmaster Knowles Starts
First Carrier Over
the Route.

After a suspension OF over twelve
months. caused by the refusal Of Con-
gress to make the necessary appropria-
ton, the Philadelphia pneumatic mail
tube service between the postoffce and
the bourse. Broad Street station and
the Reading Terminal has been resumed.
The contract which will cover
the operations Tor 4 year was for
S39, 1850. and when Philadelphia re
ceives its proportion OF the sS0O,C00 ap-
propria;ed for new tube lines the sys-
TEN will be extended to the various sub
stations. Bids for this extension work
will be opened on August II.
Assistant Postmaster George W.
knowles personally started the first
carrier, holding 300 letters, down the
6-inch tube which connects with the
boursc. At noon yesterday, the trip con-
suning just foriy-one seconds. At l p.
M, large carrier, holding 500 letters.
whizzed out the S-inch tube to Broad
Street station in forty three seconds,
and right dfterwarl n carrier OF the
same size sped TO the Reading Termi-
nal in thirty seconds. To the mail
clerks the resumption of the service was
a great relief. as they are spared the
task of packing mail bags for the slow
er method Of transportation by mail
wagon
At present mail matter is distributed
among the substations by trolley cars.
and the extension of tube lines will
practically cause the abandonment of
that system in the heart of the city.

Mr.. SHAW NOT IN FAVOR
OF A FlVE-iEAR LIMIT
Ridicules View Ascribed to Him That a
Clerks Efficiency Is Destroyed
in That Period.

Some time ago q story was published
asserting that Secretary Shaw had ex-
PRESSED himself as in favor of 4 five
year limit for service in the Treasury
Department In regard to this stcry, the
following statement was 0iven out a.
the Secretary's office yesterday after
noon.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived at the Treasury Department rela-
tive to the truth or falsity OF the al
legged assertion of Secretary Shaw that
he was in favor OF n fve-year limit for
service in the Treasury Department. The
original newspaper article and those
that followed it stating that the Sec
retary believed departmental en-
ploye lest his usefulness after five years
in the Government work were so ride
ulously. improbable that they were never
dignified by denial That a great
many people have taken these articles
seriously has been demonstrated by the
number of inquiries. not only from
Washington, but from all over the coun-
try.
TO avoid any further msconCeption
CT the facts In tha case, it may be an
nonnced cn absolute authority that 10
such remark or expression was ever
made by Secretary Shaw. and that the
articles purporting 20 represent his at
titude as leadsman are made out Of
whole cloth.
On the contrary, it may be said with
equal authority that Secretary Shaw is
heartily in accord with civil service in
every respect. An illustration of his
attitude on matters of personnel may be
cited in his signing yesterday a set Of
regulations placing laborers and other
unskilled positions under the control Of
the Civil Service Commission. remov
ing thereby the last bit of patronage
at the disposal OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury"

COLLECTORS OF CUSTOMS
MUST BE MORE CAREFUL
Arrest Of Priest for Smuggling Causes
the Treasury Department to Is
sue Stringent Orders.

The Treasury Department, in view OF
the arrest of a Catholic priest for
smuggling across the Canadian frontier
has sent out instructions to collectors
of customs along the Canadian line ad-
vising them to be more careful in the
future in their examination of baggage
The priest under arrest has acknowi-
edged that since 1886 he has been
in the habit of making annual vis-
its to Montreal where he would pur-
chase church robes and other articles
OF altar use. He packed. part Of
the things in his trunk and part
he carried in his valise. Year after
year he thus imported dutiable articles
INTO this country failing to declare
them to the customs officials. who. he
said never attempted to examine his
baggage.
On his last trip he was accompanied
by his niece and he persuaded her TO
paSk some OF this merchandise in her
trunk. 1t was this that led to their de-
lection and arrest. The priest pleads
for the woman's release. declaring that
she acted only as his agent and was
not aware that the articles were duti-
able.
Il desire to suffer for her" the Priest
says. because she is innocent Of wrong
doing and would not have brought the
things in had l not persuaded her"
lie admits that he knew all the time
that he was cheating the United States
Government, but says that the total
value OF the articles he smuggled in
during the six years was net more than
SEQ. The Treasury Department has not
yet been advised as to what VIII be done
with him.

Snail Parties Organized,

NJ. Charles F. Weller, who has charge
,cf the distribution of the tickets
through the agents CT the Associated
Charities, finds that it is preferable TO
organize small parties. Many of those
who are cared for by the fund are but
slightly acquainted with the cars or with
any portion of the city outside of that
in which they reside. and it is desirable
to provide them with a director to look
after the party and make the trip pleas
ant to all.
Many persons. Mr.. Weller finds, among
the poorer classes have me- ar seen the
White House. and the Capitol would bs

which they have seen from the distance.
In 2 party of thirty that was taken to
Cabin John Bridge several days ago

cars, cne of them being an aged Ger
man woman, who had 4 faint reeollec-

killed during a storm last year while on
the transport Rawlins en- route from
New York TO Havana. Cuba. recently ap-
pealed from the action OF the Auditor

the decision OF the military authorities

Mr. Tracewell has affirmed the action

The military authorities having de-
termiaed from the best evidence at their
command that S125 was the fair value

my judgment. are not justified in allow

in this case in allowing more than the
amount so determined. ne action Ci

Capt Z. C. Mcdowell, assistant quar-

commanding the United States Army
transport Rawlins, certified as to the
killing OF Captain Hawkins horse as
follows;
THE United States Army transport
Rawlins sailed from New York on Jan
uary 16. 1901. for different ports OF Gu
ba. We had on board a horse belonging
to Lieut.. c. e. Hawkins, OF the United
States Cavalry. This horse was in the
usual padded stall, placed on the bow OF
the spar deck. On the afternoon of the
18th We struck very heavy sea. and
that night a severe gale. The gale and
the heavy seas continued until the even
ing Of the 18th.
The ship rolled so much that she
shipped water on the spar deck The
windows and partitions on the man
deck were broken and several inches OF
water covered the floor of the aft main
deck
During the gale Friday night the
horse of Lieutenant Hawkins was
thrown out OF his stall and one of his
legs broken. Saturday morning the
horse was shot and thrown overheard
The hurt of the animal was the re-
suit OF the storm. All reasonable care
was taken of the horse. We have no
place but the bow Of the spar deck for
carrying horses. The accident was uu
avoidable and was without fault or
neglect on the part OF myself or the
crew"

The announcement was made yester-

public to support this most worthy char

Several departures from the origi-

been made as experience would suggest
1t has been the practice to quietly slip

II was desired to benefit and permit
them without the knowledge of any
third party to take the ride at their
convenience. and this meLhcd is still
pursued in certain cases where It is
found possible.
