man and Mr. Lodge. The discussion
arose over a motion by Mr.. Lodge to
refer TO the committee on postOtfices

rose looking to a senate investigation
into the conditions in the department.
Mr. German minated that the inves-
tigation by the department had been
partisan In character and said that
counter charges had been made against
the men who had made 1t. Mr.. Lodge
defended the departments work and
declared II was far more thorough than
Il congressional inquiry would be. The
resolution went over without action.
Mr.. Teller made a speech in opposi-
criticised General Wood and declared
the bill was in the interest Of the trust
MIR. Clapp spoke briefly, holding that

wall and Porto Rico, but simply re-
stricts the transportation Of freight and
passengers TO American vessels.

REGULAR MEETING WILL BE
HELD-NO APPOINTMENTS
PROBABLE.

The board of Gre and police com
missioners will meet tonight in regu-
lar session at the city hall but it is
likely nothing will be done towards
making appointments to tho police or
fire departments, it is thought.
The commissioners have stated that
they will not appoint before the FIRST
of the year, although one commission
er is very anxious 20 get through with
this work tonight The commission
ers met Saturday night informally and
discussed several matters. The oharg-
as against Officer Aaron Hurley for al
legged improper conduct in summoning
witness, havs not been preferred for
mally, and if presented tonight will
be filed and date set for hearing the
evidence. The commissioners have
no, been notified officially of any such
action taken against the officers and
OF course will take no definite action
towards hearing until they are filed.
In the matter Of making extra APP
pointmepts to the fire department n
commissioner stated this morning that
nothing would be done until the mon.
ey matter had been settled. The mon
ey TO pay the extra men has to be Sc
cured in some way and until the city
can satisfactorily settle this matter
the commissioners say they will not
appoint the extra men.
