Secretary Payne and
the Postal Service

Washington. d. c., Sept. 2S.-Post-
master General Henry c. Payne has
been heard to express the opinion ON
more than one occasion since he &C.
cepted the portfolio OF the Postofiice
Department that the postal service of
the United States Is the most efficient
and the most useful institution in the
world. When Mr.. Payne left his office
this evening he was inclined to believe
that this statement was something Of
an eXaggeration.
The Postmaster General was stand.
ing at the open window of his private
office late this afternoon, talking to a
friend, when something round, and
soft, and feathery darted out of the
sky, brushed Mr.. Payne's cheek, and
fell in heap on the floor. The Post
master General. after moment OF
startled surprise, stopped and picked
iup a painting, ruffled and very tired
carrier pigeon. Around one Of tho
birds legs was a tiny silver band, en-.
gTaved with the initials IF, ]. t."
and a number, "42l9". The other leg
carried a tiny metal cylinder.
After giving the pigeon drink from
the engraved silver tankard reserved
for visitors OF prominence, Mr.. Payne
undid the clasp OF the little cylinder,
thinking that he might be able to re.
turn the registered and possibly val.
liable bird to its owner. The cylinder
contained a tightly rolled sheet of thin
paper.
Mr.. Payne nearly fell out OF his
chair when he read his own Christian
name at the head of the sheet OF pa
per, coupled with an adjective not in
general use in official correspondence.
The note was dated Atlanta, Ga, FRI
day, Sept. 25" and was not addressed
or signed sufficiently for purposes OF
| Identification. 1t read in part as FOL

Judge Gilbert. in rendering the deci

Chronicle as follows: 1T is as clear

Hero are two prisoners who attacked
a Federal officer with deadly weapons,
let loose. Why? Because under the
law as it stands they were Illegally
convicted In other words, they are
released on what some local intorpro.
tiers Of law would term teChniCality.
DO the newspapers cry out against
this jail delivery OF men who might
have been murderers had their shots
carried true? None has yet been heard
from. II Is recognized principle of
American justice that courts are es.
tablished to interpret law, not to over.

OF lawmakers.
The incident has local interest by
virtue of the local factiOnal hue and cry
against the Interpretation of law as II
stands on the statute books. It points

to control the courts and degrade jus

THE SAILOR REMEMBERED

Captain Harry Flint of the water
front police very recently received a
handsome token of the gratitude of a
young fellow whom he had befriended.
Flint first met the young man very in
formally when he picked him out Of a
secluded spot in a vessel whore he had
slowed away. Subsequently Flint
gave the young chap occasional help
and finally managed to find berth
for him on a windjammer going to the
Coast. When the young man left he
told Captain Flint that some day he
would send him something to remem-
Der him by.
BY the last mail from the Coast Cap
tain Flint was surprised at receiving a
letter from the young fellow, whom he
had almost forgotten by this time. The
writer stated that he had been in the
KlOndylle and made small pile there.
Accompanying the letter was very
handsome gold watch, which is now
dangling proudly at the end OF Cap
tain Flint's watch chain.
