WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 11.-Thi r
Assistant Postmaster-Gener Madden
has issued circular letter to all post
masters, in which he says: f}
ut has been brought to the attention
Of the department In n number of cases
that publishers OF newspapers are pre-
senting their publications for maiiirg
with so-called supplements, which lhre
manifestly illegal. These alleged suppe-
ments consist Of calendars, sheet music.
patterns, blocks Of post cards series OF
cut-out animal pictures, soldiers and ma
val vessels, etc.
The letter says publishers seem TO
regard these things as permissible under
the act OF 1879, when iii fact they are
not. and ndds:l
."The privilege accorded to&a publisher
to mail hts newspapers at the subsidies
second class rates carries with IT no
right to these rates for any other matter
than the newspaper itself. and such sup.
elemental matter as is really germane
and otherwise meets the requirements or
law" q
The postmasters are directed to notify
publishers that such supplements violate
the law and to say to them that until
September 4 !, 1905, their publications,
even though containing such enclosures
will be accepted at the regular second
class rates. but that on end after that
date the legal rate will be charged upon
such matter, according to its character. 4
