Former Order Revoked
by City Postmaster.
Merritt.
CLERKS MADE PROTESTS
Drug Store Substation En-
ployes Could Not Stand
the Long Hours.

As a result of the number of pro-
hitting the registration of mail Sundays
and on holidays, City Postmaster Mer-
ritt yesterday revoked that part OF the
order relating to work on the Sabbath.
The greatest number OF protests came
from clerks in the drug store substations
about the city. The salaries paid clerks
at these places range from 800 TO $500,
and the proprietor of the store was
commonly the clerk.
AS the order called for the registration
of mail at all hours of the day and night,
and the amount paid being too small
for a majority OF the drug store pro-
prietors to hire assistants. the re
cipients of the pay found the work
greater than the money was worth.
Hence the protests and the revocation OF
part of the order.
In defense of the order, Postmaster
Merritt says there had been a general
demand for night and Sunday registra-
ton. The actual work required is ex-
tremely light in most parts OF the city.
AS direct result Of the order the sub
station at the drug store of F. S. Will
liams & Co.. Ninth and F Streets north
west. has been temporarily discontinued
owing to the resignation OF the clerk in
charge. This branch was the only one
in Washington to receive the maximum
salary of $500.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
ON THE DIVORCE EVIL
Polygamy Exists in Every State,
Says He.

BALTIMORE. Oct 3.-Cardinal Glib
bons today expressed his views on d.
vorce and the public school system to a
staff correspondent OF the Newark
Evening News" The cardinal declared
that polygamy exists in every State Of
the UEion and that the public school
system is imperfect.
The meager Government statistics on
divorce gathered last year" said he,
places the number of divorces granted
in New York city in 1902 at SIT. and
there is only one cause for which divorce
can be obtained in New York State. The
city OF Chicago granted l,sOS last year.
The Illinois statutes name eight causes
for divorce.
New York city alone divorced 14i
more couples last year than the total
number OF polygamous families in Utah
today, and Chicago divorced two and
one-half times as many as there are
men with plural wives in Utah.
I'VE are confronted in this country by
polygamy," he continued Il mean the
polygamy that exists in every State OF
this Union. ana thsEs-is no law against
this kind OF pOisgamy, but rather laws
that recognize it and make it possible.
There is ayftw against the poIygamy that
exists in Utah. Is not the law OF di-
vorce afyirtual form of Mormonism in a
modified shape? Mormonism consists of
simultaneous polygamy. while the law OF
divorce practically leads 10 successive
poiygamy."

The twentieth century peace pilgrim
age of the Britishers, through the same
section their forefathers visited on an
errand OF war and destruction is made
as a return compliment for the visit
of the Boston men to England in 1896.
From the time OF their arrival in Bos-
ton they will spend five days seeing the
arms were engaged disastrously in the
opening days of the Revolution. Their
visit TO Providence yesterday was the

May Win Big Contract
by Paying Its Own
Royalties.
PRESIDENT TO DECIDE
Secretary Moody Said to Fa-
vor Giving the Extra
Time Needed.

Whether the Administration will con-
tinue to foster the armor plate trust, of
which the Government is indirectly the
progenitoi, IS a question which Secre-
tary Moody will take up with President
Roosevelt a. the next meeting of the
Cabinet. .dmiral ONeil, chief of the
Bureau Of Ordnance. has laid before the
Secretary bids for about 10000 tons OF
armor plate needed for FIVE battleships,
and on which saving OF several hundred
thousand dollars can be made by award
ing the contract to a newly organized
company.
The Carnegie and the Bethlehem com
panies have made Identical estimates,
while the Midvale Steel Company, of
Philadelphia, estimated at from 81 TO s22
ton less, according to the classes of
plate.
Would Secure Competition.
The Midvale Company has not yet con-
structed its plant, and will require
twenty months for delivery. while speci-
fcations call for delivery in nine months.
The trust plants provide that the Gov
ernment shall pay the Krupp and Har-
vey royalties while the Midvale Com
pany proposes to pay it's own royalties.
The aggregate of the contracts about to
be awarded is. in round numbers,
81, 900 900, and a saving Of $500 eco would
be made by accepting the bid Of the Mid
vale Company.
An Offset for the delay in delivery
which would result from awarding the
contract to the Midvale Company is
found In the fact that in the future the
Government would have a rival firm to
deal with and not be placed at the mercy
OF the older companies, which have al
ways worked together without opposi-
tion. This is one OF the arguments in
favor of awarding a contract TO a COM
pany which has to build a plant in order
TO turn out the plate.
Case Now Before Moody.
Secretary Moody is said to be seri-
ously considering the adYisabflfty OF ac-
cepting the lower bid and thus enable
the new company to enter the field.
panies, the only two concerns in the
United States manufacturing armor
plate. furnish precedents for such action.
Both these companies received a con-
tract from the United States before II
had built its plant. The Government
offered the additional indueement of ad-
vancing the price Of armOr plate beyond
its real value in order TO permit the
companies 10 pay for the cost of their
plants out of their first contracts In
the present case the question 10 be set
tied by the President and his Cabinet
is whether the Government can stand
the delay.

RUBBISH AGAIN BURNED
IN SPITE OF PROTESTS
Nuisance Officially Sup
pressed Again Occurs.
RESIDENTS ARE INDIGNANT
Will Again Ask Commissioners to Keep
Their Promise TO Pre-
vent Offense.

In spite Of the imperative order from
the District Commissioners that no more
city rubbish should be burned at Ninth
and Streets northeast. and in defiance
OF the vigorous protests of the stifed
residents, a large pile of leaves and
refuse. banked high at the corner OF the
thoroughfares. was set afre Friday night.
to the intense indignation of those living
in the neighborhood.
The rubbish was burned at time when
most of the residents were in their
homes. Dense volumes of smoke poured
through the streets and hung like a
heavy mist over the houses.
Stifed the Residents.
Doors were closed. windows shut. and
every precaution taken to keep the
choking fumes from pervading the near
without avail.
The open defiance of their protests
further aroused the ire of the citizens,
and while no formal indignation meet
ing was held. the affair was the subject
OF vigorous comment. II no immediate
and final action is taken by the Com
missioners, another protest will be
made to them.
Commissioner West to Investigate.
Whether the rubbish was fred by
municipal employees. or mischievous
boys, is not positively known, but
the opinion prevails that it was the
work OF the former. This assumption
is given strength by the mere fact that
the rubbish was dumped at that corner.
Commissioner West stated yesterday
that he had not been advised OF burning OF
rubbish in this locality. but he immedi-
ately issued orders to the Police De-
partment TO investigate and report. The
Commissioner added that If the report
shows a violation of the law the prac-
tice will be stopped forthwith.
