IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBrNE.I

Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Washington. May 6-Justice A. c. Bradley. in
the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
gave decision to-day in the injunction case
brought by r. W. Haynes and Duane f. Fox,
counsel for the Railway Equipment and Publi-
cation Company, against Postmaster General
Henry c. Payne. The decision was given on
the demurrer filed by the Postmaster General TO
the complainant's bill for an injunction to pre-
vent the Postmaster General from charging the
third Glars instead of the second class, news
paper and periodical, rate OF postage the COM
List of Railroad Officials This was the first
injunction case brought to determine the power
of the Postmaster General to charge the higher
rate under a departmental regulation promul-
regulation the Postmaster General has excluded
from the second class rate a large number of
publications, and several cases are now pending
in the Supreme Court of the District.
Justice Bradley also decided two mandamus
cases involving THE Official Railway Guide
and Official List" The purport Of Justice Brad
gated by the Postmaster General goes beyond
the law. and is practically amendment of
the law which Ihe Postmaster General had no
power to make. In the mandamus cases the
justice ordered writs to issue restoring the sec
ond class privilege to the publications involved,
and in the injunction case he continued the
injunction preventing the Postmaster General
from refusing TO carry The Pocket List at the
lower rate Of postage.

devotes six columns to The Tribune's work in
exposing the irregular practices Of the Board Of
Supervisors of Westchester County. The principal
features discussed the excessive pay Of the

Va rious extra fees, such tor serving commit
tees serving on grand juries, and assigning addi-
fionaI work their special committees TO keep
them in session to June !. the date for the
law 10 20 into operation in spite Of the boards
adjournment.
By the provisions OF the new law the Super
visors viii receive "A salary OF $500 year, and
longer draw pay the per diem basis. The
Mount Kisco Recorder thinks that the board has
probably dug its own grave in its work for ceme-
1crv corporations 1t intimates that The Tribune
has not been the only important voice in the
fight. The State Tax Commissioners said to
have administered a StroTg rebuke TO the Super
visors when they visited White Plains recently.
