against him by ex-Cashier S. w. Tul-

constituted today's developments of
the postoff1ce investigation. First AS
slstant Postmaster General Wynne late
lhis afternoon reported to Postmaster
General Payne that the tabulation OF
one clerks in each grade in postoffices
OF the first-class had been completed.
ms work was undertaken in accor-
dance with the order made by the post
master general to rearrange the salar-
les OF the clerks already classified that
the number in the civil grades shall
not exceed the number specifically pre-
scribed in the act of congress making
appropriations for the postal service
The former classification was made by
George w Beavers just prior to his
sudden resignation as chief of the di-
vision OF salaries and allowances. The
report says:
1T will not be necessary in any case

ascertain exactly the number of pro
motions in each grade it will be nee
essary to cancel at each postoffice and
then will inform the postmasters and
allow them to select the increases
which must be cancelled"
The postmaster general today sent
to Perry Heath a copy Of the charges
filed by Mr. Tulloch, together with n
letter requesting any information he
may care to submit on the subject.

BIG deficiency
IS Discovered
Free Delivery and Rural Free Delivery
Have Spent S127,S 800 too Much.
NlACHEN is BEING CRITICISED
By Postmaster General for Bad
State Of Affairs in His Bureau.
Congress must Appropriate
More Money at the
Next Session.

Washington, May 28.-Congress will
be asked at the opening of it's next
I session to make an appropriation to
cover deficiencies in both the regular
free delivery service and the rural
free delivery service of the postoffice
department. Postmaster General Payne
today announced that this deficiency
now aggregates 1921, 300 of which $780,
700 is in the free delivery branch and
$l21, 600 in the rural free delivery SER
vice. The postmaster general said he
very much regretted the existence OF
the deficit and for the first time pub
llcly criticised the administration of
A. w. Machen, the general superin-
tendent of the free delivery system,
who is on indefinite leave of absence
This is not the first time that de-
fciency has occurred in the free de-
livery SERVICE" said Mr.. Payne, "but5
regret it's existence. At the opening
of the last congress Mr.. Machen point
ed out that without additional appro-
priations no more routes could be es-
tablished beyond those ready to be in
stalled January l. He said, however,
if congress appropriated 100000 for
tinued during the rest of the fiscal
year. This appropriation was prompt
ly made but it was exhausted. Despite
this fact the office. (the free delivery
office) was going on increasing the de-
hciency and five had not taken steps
to curtail the expenditures and sus-
pend the establishment of routes until
the beginning Of the next fiscal year
the deficit would have been much lar
ger. 1t was not good administration.
On May 9 the postmaster general
sent a letter to Mr.. Bristow, fourth
assistant nostmaste1ss general, stating
his wish that there be no deficit and
asking ask him to curtail expenditures with
that end in view.
Postmaster General Payne tonight in
discussing the big deficiency in the
free delivery service said
ut is very reprehensible for a bureau
officer to have deficit of 100000 roll
ed up On the first of Maya 1t was bad,
very bad administration, bureau Of
fcer should not incur a deficit with
out consulting his superior officer, the
postmaster general
Il cannot stand for that kind of adj
ministration and do not approve If
it. | do not say that thore was any
thing criminal, nor anything wrong in
Mr.. Machen's action, but it was GER
tainly loose administration and he
should have had his business more in
hand''
Postmaster General Payne was asked
a number of questions as to the effect
OF the discovery of the deficiency on
the status of Mr.. Machen but parted
all the questions. He said that the
matter would be looked into and
communication might be sent later to
Mr. Machen asking for an explanation
of the condition of affairs.

MANN BILL

Fredericksburg, Va, May 2S.-The
Stafford county liquor cases, which in
volye the working of the Mann law,
are growing more and more interest
ing At the April term of the county
court, Judge Chichester granted lieen-
ses to five saloon men in Falmouth,
These licenses were granted before the
Mann bill became a law, but as soon
as the governor signed the bill, the
anti-liquor people, backed UP, it is said,
by the Anti-Saloon League, asked Judge
Mason, of the circuit court, for an in
junction restraining the saloon. men
from doing business. The matter was
argued by counsel on both sides, and
the isRSunction refused. AT Stafford
Courthouse, in warrant case, charg
ing them with selling liquor without
license, the saloon men appeared be-
fore Justice Bryan, and after hearing
the case, the justice did something
never heard of before. He reversed.
the decision of the county court grant
ing the license. He put them under
bond to keep the peace, and the liquor
men promptly appealed to the county
cour-. The county court was also in
session, and the saloon men paid the
increase in license, as required by the
new tax bill. and will continue to sell,
despite Justice Bryan.
Five lawyers, including Judges Cool
rick and Embrey, of this city. are mix
ed up in the case, and the whole coun-
ty is agitated over it,
The appeal will be heard at the June
term. A free-for-all fight occurred in
Falmouth as a result of the trouble
between the drys and vets.

Washington, May 2S.-Postmaster
General Payne today received the Of
fetal report of the investigation into
the recent intimidation of John ALL
good, the colofed rural free delivery
carrier at Gallatin, Tenn. The report
says that only two persons were in

hold their act The catfiep is afraid
TO resume the service believing his life
would be endangered thereby, although
inspector Conger, who made the inyes-
tigation, reports that he believes the
carrier would be entirely safe. The
carrier thinks he knows who the tw
men were who held him and warned
him not to continue but the inspector
says their identity is uncertain. An
irregularity in the appointment of ALI
good has been discovered and the mat
ter has been referred to the civil SER
vice commission. Senator Bate, Of
Tennessee, had a conference today with
the postmaster general and urged re-
sumption of service on the suspended
route but the. postmaster general de- |
ferred action pending careful con-
sideration of the report. Subsequent
iysMr. Payne declined to say whether |
the service would be resumed. He |
said:
There is not the slightest doubt |
about the occurrence but whether the |
