HARRY tiOLDERNESS REFLECT

ISOLATION.
Also Elected Delegate For Arkansas
to Meeting of National Associa-
ton in August

w. |. Holderness returned Friday
evening from Little Rock where he at
tended the convention of the Arlan-
sas Funeral Directors association.
Mr.. HodeFness reports that this was
the most productive meeting ever
held by the association. Many points
of advancement, which have been
bones Of contention at previous meet
ings, were Won at this session. One
0f the most important features of the
Undertakes association is to adj
vance the science of embaming and
Secretary Holderness states that the
association has for two consecutive
terms Of the legislature endeavor-
ed to have that body pass bill in
which an embalmer would be compelI-
ed to pass an examination before
competent board before being allowed
license to practice. In many Of the
peighboring states. and neatly all
northwestern and eastern states, a
body cannot be shipped into them un-
less prepared by licensed embalm-
er, and there are hundreds of
bodies shipped through such states.
If an epidemic of any kind should
arise Arkansas people would be great
ly abused by this neglect of the leg
islature to enact law regulating en-
balming.
Mr.. Holderness states that a COM
mittee held conference with the
state board of health, and received
assurances that the board would re-
lieve the present embarrassing situa-
ton by issuing licenses to such en-
balmels as would prove themselves
competent after an examination by
board designated or appointed by
the state board.
At recent conference with the
American Baggage Agents associa-
tion and the National Funeral Direc-
tors association in Chicago, it was
determined to ask every railroad do
ing business in the United States to
put in force uniform set of rules and
regulations governing the preparation
and transportation of dead bodies.

ne license to be issued by state
h0ards of health or the legal authori-
ties.
Mr.. Holderness was reelected for
the fifth time secretary of the assO-
citation, which speaks in flattering
terms of his ability and worth in that
position. He was also reelected
member of the legislative committee

vention, which meets in Minneapolis

Macfsn viii Be Removed on Grounds
Of "Cooking Up" Accounts Of
Division.

Washington, May 23.-Indications
point strongly to the resignation, if
not removal from Office, of A. w
Maehen, superintendent of the free
delivery division of the postoffice de-
paftment, on the charge of Cooking
up accounts. 1t has been shown that
when Mr.. Machen's division was call.
ed upon TO: the April statement, his
6lokheeper reported a deficiency in
the rural free delivery appropriation
Of S20,000, and a surplus in the gen.
elal free delivery appropriation.
Fourth Assistant Bristow. with his
probe has disclosed that the report
vas wrong several hundred thous-
and dollars.
Postmaster-ge general Payne announc-
ed this afternoon that Mr.. Machen
would be given an opportunity to ex-
plain
Mr.. Machen has been out on an en-
fcrced leave of absence pending the
general inyes tigaticn into his divis.
ion.
TIE ne" phase of the postoffice
&29 sal developed today when Post
master-Ceneral Payne announced
'?'t TIE deficit for the free delivery
division would be 1927 ,467 by July 1.
Of which sum sl21, 900 would be
charged to TIE rural free delivery
service. About May ! A. R. J. Wynne,
first assistant postmaster-general, re-
ported to Mr.. Payne that the rural
free delivery deficit was then $4,000.
Mr. Wynne stated that his informa-
tion was obtained from A. w. Machen,
uperintendent of free delivery. Both
Mr.. Wynne and Mr.. Payne thought
that by exercising strict economy the
'eficit could be held down to 0,0OO,
which had been rendered. Mr.. Payne
'ecided to investigate the matter fur
her and ordered Mr.. Bristow, fourth
assistant poetmaster-general. to ex-
anime closely the fee delivery ac-
counts. Nth q view to determining
how economy could be exercised.
MI Payne is astounded to learn that
the deficit in the rural free delivery.
even with economy and the holding up
of rev Teutes until July 1. will be
800 oco greater than the sum named
by Nj Machen.
This t'iscrepancy between the first
figures and those CT Mr.. Bristow, is
openly charged TO misrepres sentatiOn
by Mr. Machen as TO the true condition
of affairs in the office. Mr. Wynne
has been in the habit of asking for
statement of the finances from the
free delivery division each month, but
re says there was a decided inclina.
tion to ignore him altogether and give
him only the most perfunctory figures,
although the division was under his
control.

delivery statement for April the only
