Authorities Don't Know When
Deed Was Executed or Where
II is Deposited.
SULZER WANTS INVESTIGATION
Sccy. Taylor Explains Deed Wasn't Ex-
ccnted Because Property Was
Not Yet Paid For.

Washington, Feb IA hearing was
held today before the house committee
on public buildings and grounds on the
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Sulzer OF New York In regard TO
the sale OF the old New York customs
house property The resolution called
for information as to when the deed
was executed, where II was deposited
and why It has not been recorded In
New York county, and for information
In connection with the sale Of the prop
erty. Mr., Sulzer stated to the commit
tee that the authorities I'm New York
have not been able to find when the
deed was executed or where II was de-
posted, or any Information concerning
II. He also assalled the treasury de-
partmcnt for the transaction, pro-
nounclng It an unspeakable outrage on
the government and on the city OF New
York.
He stated that the property was
worth 5000, 900 when 1t was sold. and
IL worth $40, 000, 900 now. He stated that
more than 81 100000 had already been
paid to the National City bank for
itH'' Iif luIlHtT stHteu tndt not u uOl-
lar had been paid for the property by
the National city bank He declared
that there ought to be an investigation
by Congress of the whole affair.
Secy' Taylor OF the treasury depart
ment replied TO the charges. In the
first place, he said. no deed ever had
been executed, therefore II could not
be deposited anywhere and could not
be recorded. The reason the deed
had not been executed was because the
property was not fully paid for, and un-
der the contract the National city bank
was not compelled to make fipal pay
ment and get the deed until the new
customs house was completed
In reply to the charge that the Ma
tional City bank had not paid dollar
for the property. he said the full
amount had been actually transferred
10 the credit of the government at the
sub-treasury In New York. making
payment ms complete as though the
actual currency had been paid over.
Mr.. Taylor stated that the transaction
connected with the sale of the customs
house property was as clean and intel
llgent a transaction as any ever made
by public officer.
The resolution of Mr.. Sulzer provides
that the attorney general shall furnish
Information about the deed. The COM
mittee agreed to make favorable re-
port on Mr.. Suffers resolution after X
shall have been amended 80 that the
secretary OF the treasury II the official
OF whom information concerning the
customs house sale shall be sought.

conclusion Is that President Roosevelt
alone can save the situation lust as
he alone was able to bring about peace
between Russia and Japan"
The Statlst, after dealing with the

DECISION REGARDING
RURAL FREE DELIVERY

Washington, Feb 9.--At the postof-
fee department II was stated that an
erroneous impression seems to exist in
some parts of the country, particularly
In Kansas, regarding the scope OF the
rural fire delivery service. Although
tho fourth assistant postmaster gem
eral has recommended that mail mat
ter be permitted to be addressed to
rural boxes according to their numbers
and not to any particular individual
the same as In postofflces. the post
master-general has not as yet given his
approval to the same. In a few in
stances the proposition gave rise to
complaint. It being alleged that the
rural free delivery service would be
utilized by large business houses
throughout the county as an advertise
ing medium to the disadvantage Of the
local merchants. AS the matter now
stands, unless mail is specifically adj
dressed to parties residing on rural
routes 1t Will not be delivered.
