Chicago, April l6.-The in

plying with the Interstate commerce
law Is worrying their competitors.
Within the past two weeks several rail-
roads have filed with the Interstate

freight association notices hat they
WILL make a reduction on certain classes
OF freight. The law requires three days
notice of a decrease in rates, and ten
days notice of an increase. Open vio-
ilation of the law is charged.
THE only way to stop rate cutting"
said a traffic official, lis for competing
lines to make a still deeper cut when
ever they find that any road has filed a
low tariff on any special kind Of freight.
For example, if one road announced a
rate of Is cents per 100 pounds OF lum-
Der from Chicago to the Missouri river,
Which is 5 cents less than the normal
rate, let all competing lines immedi-
ately reduce rates openly to 10 cents"

She Made Promotions at Will, Wasn's
Respectful to Senators and Con.

Washington, April 16.-The order is
sued by Acting Postmaster General
Wynne late yesterday afternoon pro-
hibiting the further signing to letters,
orders, ETC., of h names of officials by
subordinates, it now develops, was di-
rected against a young woman in the
free delivery division.
Miss Ina Liebhart is credited with
virtually directing the affairs Of the
great division as she sees fit. She is
said to have hitherto affixed the sigma
ture Of A. w. Machen, superintendent
of the free delivery division, to all kinds
of papers, letters and documents. The
higher officials have found it impossi-
bic to detect the difference between "a.
". Machem" as written by himself and
as signed by Miss Liebhardt.
Miss Liebhardt occupies the position
Of chief clerk in the division of free
delivery. She Is said to have developed
her power and authority until it has
assumed the most remarkable magni-
tude. No official in the government
service has jurisdiction over SO many
employees or exercises power SO COM,
pletely without let or h%indrance as does
this chief clerk.
Machen Defends Her.
Superintendent Machen frankly de-
clares that he assumes full responsible
ity for all Miss Liebhardt does. He
says the atf1Xing of his signature Is done.

to find with her administration Of af-
fairs. He will protect her to the limit
Of his power.
When the question Of legality in con-.
nection with the signatures made by.
Miss Leibhardt was brought, an opin-,
ion was required from the assistant at!
torney general. This has not yet been
received. In the meantime, as a matter
Of administrative routine, 1t vas de-
termined to limit this authority as far
as 1t could be dom by an order.
There are 19,402 carriers under the
free delivery decision. At the close of,
the last fiscal year there We're Sass.

vice. This number will be Increased to
5000 by July l.. With the force of,
substitutes and clerks in the service
under Mr.. Machen's jurisdiction the
number of employees under one wom-
ans charge easily aggregates $4,000.
This division will expend nearly $A0,-

Such power has never before been
placed in one woman's hands in the en-
tire history Of governmental manage
mint.

1t is alleged that the recommends

claim to preferment, but she insists on

Vinol is delicious to take. and con-
