MUST NOT USE FRANKS
ORDER PROMULGATED BY THE
PUBLIC PRINTER.

Public Printer Stillings yesterday promul-
gated general orders in the government
printing Office and its branches making In
slant dismissal from the public service the
penalty for taking from the office any of the
printed franks Of senators or representa-
tives. The issuance of the order followed
the removal from Office Of Charles w. LIP
pold. who, 1t was alleged, had used the
printed frank Of representative on private
mail matter.
1t is said Mr.. Stillings had received nu-
merous complaints that some Of the en-
ployes Of the printery had been using the
printed franks on their private mail matter.
One case was cited where the offender
placed the frank OF a representative on
packages Of candy and fruit souvenirs and
other things which he sent to his best girl
in one OF the states. It Is said the case OF
Lippold was investigated by post Office In
spectors, but that there could be no prose-
cution because the law permitting members
OF Congress to use their frank does not pro-
vide penalty such as that provided for
the use Of official envelopes of the several
government departments, which Is a fine OF
$780, A close watch will be kept over the
franks in the future, and it is declared that
any one caught tampering with them will be
dismissed forthwith.
