II should have asked Congress-" he add
ed, for a larger sum than $5OO.COO. which
was voted at the last session for the pres
ent fiscal year. The pressure for more
rural routes was very strong, and yielded
to 1t beyond what the appropriation really
provided. The same thing has been done
In years gone by. and Congress has always
readily voted the money necessary to make
up the deficit
"Loose Administration" Says Payne.
Postmaster General Payne stated that
Mr.. Machen would be given an opportunity
to make explanation as to the great differ
ence between the deficit he reported and
that discovered by Fourth Assistant Bris-
tow. His present opinion of the deficit he
expressed as follows:
1T is very reprehensible for a bureau
officer to have a deficit of $500. 600 rolled
up on the 1st of May 1t was bad, very
bad administration. A bureau officer should
not incur deficit without consulting his
superior officer, the Postmaster General.
l cannot stand for that kind of administra-
tion, and do not approve of it. An official
must be held to a more strict accounting
do not say that there was anything GRIM
fna1 nor anything wrong in Mr. Machens
action, but ii was certainly loose admins
tratfon, and he should have had his business
more in hand. l believe, however, that
Congress will quickly vote the money to
cover the deficiency"

"One thing might be right but sometimes
a thing is right and not good politics. 1t Is
not always good politics to disclose stand
too early. 1t gives the opposition chance
to organize against it, and further than
that it may put a certain class in a false
attitude. l refer to the class who might
favor the main proposition and yet be op-
posed to the declaration of the proposition
at a certain time. Upon the point, for 1n'
stance, on which you question me, an early
declaration might mean that some people
who are really not opposed to Roosevelt
might be made to appear as opposed to MN.
However, I'm out of politics and you must
not consider this political interview. or
course, I'm for Roosevelt.

HIS STATEMENTS RESENTED.
The Russian Ambassador Receives
Many Letters of Criticism.


Numerous letters are now appearing in
the mails to the Russian ambassador, Count
Cassini, criticising his .utterances and at
tacking his argumentgs where they touch
the character of the Russian Jews Secre-
taly Hay is also getting his share of such
communications, but they give no serious
concern to either party, and, In fact, owing
to the watchfulness of private secretaries
these letters do not often reach the persons
to whom they are addressed.
Count Cassini had ,intended to leave the
United States next Tuesday on a vacation
to be spent in Russia, but he now finds
himself obliged to remain until June o. Sec
retary Hay and the ambassador had long
conference this morning, presumably with
reference to the status Of the Jews In Rus
STA and the utterances of the American
newspapers in that connection AS things
now stand it is said that there is nothing
for the State Department to do, for the
Russian government appears to have acted
along its usual lines, and peaceful cendi-
tons are reported to exist in Bessarabia.
1t Is felt that there is not any chance of a
recurrence of anti-Jewish outbreaks there,
for the Russian government has given
strictest orders to the local authorities,
who will be held personally responsible for
any other further disturbance.
AS to the threatened immigration into the
United states OF SWarms, of Jewish refugees
from Russia. it is said that the State De
partment is not now called upon to act and
must await an appeal from the Treasury
Department If that department finds itself
unable even by a strict application of the
immigration laws, to keep out Objectionable
immigrants.

company. while the District works, the
sewers and water pipes, will be readjusted
forthwith There is very little work to be
done in this line in the vicinity of the sta
