IMPORTANT MOVES
 IN INVESTIGATION
POSTMASTER GENERAL PAYNE CALLS ON FORMER CASHIER OF. WASHINGTON PosToFFIcE FOR PROOF OF HIS CHARGES.

Washington, May 5.--There were two important moves in the postoffice investi- gation today. first the dispatch of a let ter calling for the evidence in the pos- session of former cashier of the Wash ington City postoffice to substantiate his charges against the administration of the department several years ago, and second the announcement that the pres ent investigation was agreed on early last winter.
 Postmaster General Payne in his letter to MT. Tulloch said he would be pleased to receive any statements accounts, doc uments or other papers confirmatory of the allegations made.
 MT. Payne subsequently, said he would personally go over these papers and de- eide whether the matter should be re- ferred to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow for inclusion in his gen. eral investigation of the department. The replies of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, Postmaster Merritt of this city and presumably from ex-Post- master General Charles Emory Smith, have been received, but MT. Payne stat ed that all the replies called for had not yet been submitted.
 Ex-Representative Loud of California, for many years chairman of the house committee on postoffices and post roads, and probably delegate of the United States to the international postal con- gress to be held at Rome, Italy. next spring. was in conference with the post master general today about the investiga- tion. The postmaster general later an- nounced to the newspaper men that the present investigation was contemplated as long ago as last December, and that sued by MT. Bristow was then decided on. MT. Payne said this was provided for in an item in the last appropriation act for contingent expenses of the office of the postmaster general. This item was as follows:
 For miscellaneous items in the office of the postmaster $G000. This amount was an increase of 5000 over the previous ap- propriation for the same purpose and the postmaster general said the item, al- though 1t had escaped attention hereto fore, was agreed on between himself and MT. Loud for the express purpose of iu- vestigating the postal service after the adjournment of congress-"
 MT. Payne said he and MT. Loud had frequent conferences on the subject and had agreed that an investigation should be made to determine whether changes in methods were needed such as safeguard Ing contracts and purchases, etc. MT. Payne said it was proposed to see if any "crookedness" existed in the department. It was a big undertaking, he said to go out over the country and take up the in- vestigation and the method pursued was adopted as most likely to subserve the interests of the service. He said at that time 1t was not believed that there was any dishonesty.

Of the periodic pain which many women experience with every month 1t makes the gentleness and kindness always as- sociated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.

CHINESE BLOCKING
 TO THE WINDY CITY
COME DIRECT FROM THE KING OF CHINATOWN AND SEE A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO GET WORK DURING A STRIKE.

Chicago, May 5.-Chinese are fiocking to Chicago to take advantage of this golden opportunity to engage in the laundry bus mess. They are coming direct from Hyp Lung, the .'ISing of Chinatown" in San Francisco and reporting to Sam Lee to be distributed by him among the twenty seven laundries that he controls here. Although there are 120O already in Chi cago, their methods are so antiquated they cannot take care of the city's laun- dry Hotels and restaurants have man. aged to get their urgent needs filled by out of town 1aundres, but they are still far from being in a comfortable position
 Today walters in nearly all of the large down town restaurants appeared in black jackets and low cut vests instead of the spotless, or more recently very much spotted, white garments furnished by the house.
 Efforts are being made to settle the trouble between the workmen in the steam laundries and their employers, but so far little progress has been made.

WANT TO REDUCE NAvIEs.
Question of the Proposed Movement
 Before Chamber of Deputies.

Rome, May 5.-In the chamber of depu- ties today Signor Gicotti interpellated the government on the report that 1t in- tended to propose to the government of Great Britain that negotiations be en- tered into with the view of arranging for a simultaneous reduction of the na- vies of great powers. Signor Baccelli under secretary of state, In reply said that the British premier, MT. Balfour, and the secretary of the British ad- miralty, MT. Arnold-F Foster, recently de- clared that Great Britain was ready to dismiss her sea forces If the other powers agreed to follow the same course, but Great Britain had not yet definitely taken the initiative.
 The under secretary of state added that if Great Britain proposed to take 8 definite step in the direction indicated Italy would consider it to be inoppor- tune, on the ground that while the other powers had recently been increas- ing the strength of their navies, Italy had reduced her fleet, and also because of Italys position requiring the defense of distant possessions and In view of the great number of Italians in foreign countries.
