The discrepancy between the figures
OF Mr.. Wynne and those of Mr.. Bristow
Is openly charged to Misrepresentation
by Mr.. Machen as to the true condition
OF affairs IN the Office. Mr.. Wynne has
been in the habit of asking for a state
ment of finances from the free delivery
division each month, but there was a
decided inclination TO ignore him alto
gether and give him only the most per-
fupctory figures. although the division
waa under his control
When he asked for the rural free de-
livery statement for April the only de-
fciency about which he was informed
was minor one in the map room of
the service. He was not satisfied with
that and demanded more particulars.
Then he was told that the deficiency
was $40. 900.
The tendency OF Mr.. Machen to ignore
Mr.. Wynne and keep him ia the dark
about the workings of the division was
one of the conditions IN the department
which precipitated tho widespread in
vestigation now in progress.
Mr. Payne said this morning that he
thought 1t was very poor administra-
ton on the part of Mr.. Machen TO allow
ton that by the end Of the fiscal year.

alone would be $121, eco. Mr. Payne

COUNT CASSlNT'S LEAVE
OF ABSENCE NOT RECEIVED

Although Count Cassini. the Russian
ambassador, has made all his plans 20
sail for Europe next Tuesday on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II, there may be a hitch
in the arrangements which will necessi-
tate his remaining In this country for
an indefinite period.
The ambassadors expected leave OF
absence has not been officially COM
munieated 70 him, and until IL arrives
he will be expected 10 remain in charge
of the Cars interests in this country
AS the granting OF summer leave 10
the Russian diplomatic representative
is usually mere matter OF routine
business with the foreign Office OF his
government IN St. Petersburg. Count
Cassiri has felt no apprehension that it
would not arrive in time to meet HIS
personal arrangements.
The passing Of one day after another,
however, without receipt OF the oficiai
permission required, leads TO the sur
mise that the St. Petersburg officials
may anticipate possible further need
here IN the near future for the official
services OF the Cars American repre-
sentative.

developed this morning when Postmaster
General Payne said that the deficit for
the free delivery division would be
1927, ,457 by July l, of which sum sl21. 600
Will be charged to the rural free de-
livery service. This estimate of s12I, 500
deficit for rural free delivery is import
ant IN view of the fact that about Nav
l r. J. Wynne, First Assistant Post
master General. reported to Mr.. Payne
that the rural free delivery deficit was
then s20.000
Mr.. Wynne stated that his information
was obtained from A. w. Machen, su-
perintendent of free delivery. and both
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Payne thought that
by exercising strict economy the deficit
could be held down TO the $40. 900 esti-
mate which had been rendered by Mr..
Machen. Mr.. Payne decided TO investi-
gate the matter further, and ordered

rural free delivery accounts, primarily
with q view to determining how econ

OF FUNDS
TO STATE MILITIA

The War Department will begin the
work necessary for the allotment TO the
various militia organizations of the sew
eral States OF the $1,000 900 appropria-
ton contained in the army bill. as soon
as the reports are received from the
officers who are now inspecting the Ma
tional Guard.
The regular sl.Ooo,OOO appropriation
will be allotted in the usual way. but il
Is probable the extra 1000. 900 Will be
apportioncd according to the actual
strength of the various organizations.
The Territories viii come IN for a
share of this appropriation, although II
has not yet been decided as TO the man
ner in which Porto Rico shall receive its
share.
Heretofore. the appropriation has been
allowed to the rural guard OF the ISL
and an organization which in some ro-
spects resembles a State militia. as
the island has no regularly organized
body of national guard. Hawaii has
organized q national guard. and will. for
the first time, get part of The appro-
priation this year.

MOSQUITO BRIGADE
NOT YET FEASIBLE
DR.. Woodward Doubts Eff
cacy OF Oil War.
BESIDES THERE is NO MONEY
Congress Not Asked to Make Appro-
priations-Never Included in
Health Report.

Dr. William c. Woodward, the Dis
trict Health officer. today expressed
some doubt as to the practicability Of
organizing a crusade against the dis
ease breeding mosquitoes with which
the waters of the District of Columbia
are infested. He said the organization
of mosquito brigade to go out and
make inspections and to pour oil on the
waters to destroy the larvae of the in
sects was impossible at present. be-
cause there was no appropriation that
could be used for the purpose.
Neither the Health officer nor the
Commissioners have recommended such
an appropriation to Congress- 1t has
never been included in any reports of
the Health officer or in any table OF
estimates by the Commissioners to Con
gress. The Commissioners do not at pres
ent contemplate placing the item in their
estimates for the next fiscal wear.
Congress Would Refuse.
The reason is they are not Impressed
with the need of such action. and they
have well-founded impression that if
Congress were asked to pass upon such
an appropriation it would refuse to do
so. The authorities do not believe
the public has reached stage of con
viction on the subject to demand radi
cal action IN the destruction of mos
quitoes.
DR.. Woodward said today much was
done in an Indirect way 20 rid the Dis
trtct OF the maIarial mosquito He
called attention to a recently promul-
gated order of the Commissioners pro-
hibtting pools of water on any vacant
lot in the District To permit stagnant
pools to remain is punishable by a fine
not exceeding $50. Dr.. Woodward said
the inspectors of his department were
on the watch for these pools. and where
the owners could be located, they had
succeeded in having the lots drained
DR.. Woodward said the problem OF pour
Ing oil upon the marshes and pools Of
the District in the way proposed would
be big undertaking. He was not pre-
pared to say how much it would cost,
but certainly many thousands of dollars

seemed to think Mr.. Machen might have
been excused for misstating the deficit
on May l by few thousands of dollars
because all Of the books were not post
ed up to the minute, but he also seemed
to think there was no reason why such
sum as S121, 600 should escape his no.
tice
Mr. Payne explained that at the last
session OF Congress Mr.. Machen asked
for $4,000 additional appropriation in
order TO extend the rural free delivery
system along the lines he was then
following, and this had been cheerfully
granted, but this great increase in his
allowance had been exhausted by May
OF this year and debts had been ac-
cumulating ever since.
More than 5000 postofice promotions
throughout the country have been can
celed by the order of Mr. Wynue. as it
has been found that promotions have
been recommended and made far beyond
the total numbers allowed by the law
to each class of clerks. The promotions
were not to take place until July l. so
that they are merely Cancelled. and no.
body Will be reduced from his present
rank or salary because of the order.
Mr. Wynne's action resulted from an
investigation into the affairs of George
w. Beavers. superintendent of the diyi-
sion OF salaries and allowances. which
disclosed that promotions far in excess
OF those provided by law were being
made.
