Rural Delivery Is Expensive

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Thirty.two
thousand rural routes will be in OPP.
GRAFTON on June 80, the end of the eur
rent fiscal year. This service will cost
Uncle Sam S22, 600, 600. In the year
beginning July T., 5000 additional
routes will be established. and the
cost for the twelve.month period will
foot up to $25, 000, 600.
Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which routes are being put in, the de-
mand for them is almost as great now
as ever. In many sections the depart
ment is giving special attention to
what is known as general, or county
systems, passing by for the present
individual applications. How much
rural free delivery has to do with the
treasury deficit is impossible to figure
out. OF the s25 200, 900 that will b.
expended in the next fiscal year, 49,
DOC, 600 may be placed on the wrong
side Of the national ledger.
Expenditures are far beyond re
ceipts, and the officials say that il
will be q long time before the rura
free delivery will reach the poin'
where it will sustain itself. Ever
estimating the value Of the postage or
matter delivered on rural routes, Their,
is still a substantial shortage.

United Verde Is Wrecked.

PRESCOTT, Ariz May 22.-Millions
of tons of rock and earth caved In at
noon today in Senator Clark's United
Verde copper mine at Jerome, Ariz.,
the ground dropping over the surface
to the 7OO-foot level. Cracking timbers
gave the alarm and 800 miners fed for
their lives and escaped uninjured.
For several days the ground has
been settling and timbers cracking.
Today, with a mighty crash, the earth
caved. carrying with it the new shaft,
levels, drifts and Slopes. From tis.
sures on the surface came clouds Of
sulphur smoke from that part OF the
mine which has been on fire for sew
eral years. The extent Of the damage
cannot rs yet be ascertained, but If it
is as bad AS feared, the great property
will be closed and the existence OF
jerome will be doomed.
The hosting works which are over
the mine have settled and the machin'
cry cannot be worked. The smelling
plant has also been shut down and all
activity ceased.

RAILROAD RATE HEARING.
Senate Committee Listens to Views OF
Several Witnesses.

WASHINGTON. May 22.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Francis NJ.
Cockrell and Jos. w. Fifer we're
among the witnesses today before the
cen ate committee on interstate com.
merce, whose investigation of railroad
rates has almost drawn to a close.
Commissioners Fifer spoke of rebates
and rate cutting. and said they were
induced by railroad men distressing
each other. Rates, he said, should
be made by the railroads in the first
place but should be subject to re-.
vision. He said that the commission
could adjust a rate complained of in
accord ance with rates on like com.
modities in other sections under like
conditions. He thought the adjust.
ment OF the long and short haul diff.
c~ulties should be left to the commits
sion.
He believed that the power Of rate
regulation, if given to the commission,
would not be exercised very often, as
the roads would be careful not to get
into trouble with the commission.
Commissioners Fifer spoke of the dan.
ger of government ownership unless
the railroads were justly admins
tered.
S. S. Cowan, representing the live
stock shippers of the southwest, also
appeared before the committee. He
controverted statements made by
other witnesses as to satisfactory rate
conditions, and claimed that the cattle
rates were TOO high. He asserted that
the railroads had used diligence to
bring the men here to testify as to
satisfaction with rates. He charged
that these witnesses may have come
on passes. and that it was possible
that an intimation was given them that
it was better for them to come.
Chairman Elkins remarked that the
committee had summoned all the men
whose names had been furnished by
Mr.. Bacon in the interest Of the pro.
posed legislation, and that expenses
had been allowed all who appeared.
