paper from Washington and New York,
and circulated throughout Germany, to
the effect thar the Russian ambassador
at Washington was incensed with the
action of the German ambassador in
placing the name Of the sister of the
German ambassadress in the diplo-
matte list as member Of the Ger
man embassy. The report also stated
that the Russian ambassador had en-
gagged in controversy with the Sec
rotary Of state regarding the matter.
In his two-fold official capacity as
Russian ambassador to Washington
and dean of the diplomatic corps, ard
personally, Count Cassini denies the
report as absolutely and maliciously
false" The placing Of Miss Langham's
name in the diplomatic list never was
mentioned between the Russian and
German ambassador, nor between eth
er Of them and the secretary of state.
AS member Of the ambassadors fam
lily it was regarded In diplomatic end
official circles as entirely proper, snd
In line with long custom, that Miss
Langham's name should appear with
the diplomatic corps.

Are Violated.

Street Railway Mems Union Says Its Malls
Are Violated.
Pittsburg, May 9.-The convention
of Amalgamated Street Railway EN-
ployes Of America has wound up it's
business. One of the most important
actions taken by the convention was
the decision TO address an open tele-
gram to the president of the United
States reciting alleged abuses of the
mails by different street car compa-
MES, and asking him to demand OF the
postmaster general that he enforce the
postal laws and correct the abuses
Some grievances were brought up by
delegates in the manner in which the
United States mails were used i'm San
Francisco and New Orleans during the
time that the street car men were hav-
ing trouble with their employers en-
account of organizing divisions of the
union.
1t was asserted that in the former
city the mails of the street car men
were held up. that letters were opened,
in order to deter employees from join
ing the union. In New Orleans SINH
lar methods we're practiced in order to
suppress the forming of unions. The
convention denounced in a strong reso-
luton this sort of use of the United
States mails and appointed commit
tee of five to convey their disapproval
of such practices to President Roose-
welt.
This committee composed of Miss
Josephine Casey, Of Chicago, the only
woman delegate to the convention: A.
w. Morrison, Of Missouri; r. Cornelius,
of California; William Kavanaugh, OF
New York, and James NJ. Miller, of
Indiana. drew up a telegram to the
president stating the grievances. One
of these charges street car companies
with placing United States mail signs
on cars not carrying mails, in strike
times for the express or designed pur-
pose Of restraining our members from

ton of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, who is directing the
investigation of the affairs of the de-
partment, that the transfer of Mach
ems bureau to his jurisdiction and
its administration by postoffice in
spector would expedite the investiga-
ton. Ip ordering the change recon-
mended the postmaster general gave
Machen leave of absence until the in
-yestigation is concluded" Machen
promptly acquiesced in the decision Of
the postmaster general, taking occasion
to say in doing - that he courted the
fullest investiga ion of his official con-
duct
Maohen Had Been Under Fire.
Machen has been under fire ever
since the investigation began. Charges
of various kinds have been preferred
against the administration Of the free
delivery branch of the postal service.
These included allegations of collision
with letter-box manufacturers in the
irons, particularly on rural mailroutes;
the furnishing of advance information
regarding the selection of routes and
the appointment of carriers, etc.
Another DimcrIty Noted
There also has been a conflict be-
tween Machen and First Assistant
Postmaster General Wynne ever since
the latter assumed office. Wynne
charges Machen with characterization.
The strained relations between the
head of the free delivery service and
other officials resulted In an embar-
RAISING state of affairs, and for sew
eral months correspondence between
the general superintendent Of the free
delivery service and his immediate SUI
perior, the first assistant postmaster
general. has been conducted, on the
part of the former, through one of his
Sub0rdinates.

ly for nearly two years, and it is be-
lieved that the counsel of Loud has
figured in the foregoing developments.
