Railroads Cannot Legally Favor
Newspapers In Any Way.

Chairman Knapp. OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. In letter TO VII
liam J. Hefernan. secretary OF the Mas
sachusetts Press Association. explains
why railroads will not be permitted to
accept advertising from newspapers, po-
tatoes from farmers. and calico from
dry goods merchants in payment for
fares.
You are. Of course aware that all
tariffs filed I'm compliance with the regu-
lating statute name rates in dollars and
cents, and do not in any case provide
that transportation can be paid for with
property" writes the chairman.
III A pays in advertising space. while
3, c. and and all the rest pay IN
money, A gets hts transportation cheaper
than the others because he pTocures II
with something which he IS DESTROYS OF
exchanging for money, something which
il is part Of his business TO sell Tor
money.
I leave out OF account the abuses
which have been widely prevalent under
the guise OF an exchange of adVertis ng
for public transportation. In some cases
this resulted !n a virtual hold-up OF
the carriers IN more cases it has OPP

CITY NAMES ON new STAMPS
Post-Ofice Department May Use De-
vice to Check Up Sales.
Bid of Private Concern for New sup
ply Surprisingly Less Than that
of Bureau of Engraving.

Upon opening the bids for the manu-
factJne Of the hostage stamps. yesterday.
il was found that the Government Bu-
reau OF Engraving and Printing had been
underbid by the American Bank Note
Company, and the private concern now
stands a strong chance Of getting the
contract for the first time in twelve
years.
No one was more surprised at the out
come of the bidding than the officials OF
the Post-0ffice Department and the print
ing office
At the same time it became known that
the government is considering marked
innovation in the style OF the stamps.
plan is IN contemplation OF printing
the stamps in separate series for each
post-office. with the name OF the station
and the State in which # is located print
ed on each stamp.
While this has not been decided upon.
and may never be put into execution,
bid, were asked on this form OF stamp
as well as the regulation kind
Il the Postmaster General decides 10
give the contract TO the American Bank
Note Company. it may mean the loss of
employment TO many persons in the gov
erument service. The Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing employs 5s2 persons on
the work Of making postage stamps. The
Director Of the Bureau said yesterday
the loss of the work would make it nee
essary to lay these employees of for "a
while but that they would probably be
given other work ultimately in the other
departments of the bureau.
The bureau officials can give no reason
for the lower bid of the American Bank
Note Company save that il is able to get
labor much cheaper than the government
because OF the scale OF wages maintained
In the bureau.
Il is estimated the bid Of the American
Bank Note and Engraving Company. if
accepted, viii mean a saving of S95,040
TO the department.
The plan of placing the name of post
offices on The stamps is suggested for the
purpose Of aiding the department in keep
ing closer track of the revenue. and at
the same time help it in detecting any
thefts IN the stations
Il is explained that many p0stmasters
in the suburban stations OF big cities
endeavor to initiate their revenue figures
fer the purpose of securing free deliv-
cry. and at the same time increase their
pay.
1t is worked in this fashion. 4 post
master whose sale Of stamps is ordinarily
around $500 or 5000 seeks to get into
the Sl0.G0o class by having members CT big
concerns who live in his suburb buy their
stamps at his station for use in the city.
This boosts his figures. but the revenue
from the stamps sold him should right
fully be accredited to the district in
which the letters are mailed. II each
stamp is marked with the name Of the
station selling It. it will be an easy matter
for the department 20 find out when this
practice is being carried on.
The chief objection raised to the scheme
is the confusion that may arise in the
minis of the people. 1t is feared it will
take too long to educate the public up
to the fact that the stamps can be used
anywhere, no matter what stations name
they bear.

BANK MAY NOT OPEN
Peoples Savings Stockholders
Divided ON Question.
WILL PAY ALL DEP0SITORS
First Dividends VIII BE Paid To-
day, hut IL VIII BE Two Months
Before Business Is Resumed, If at
AII-ComptrOIIer says Affairs Seem
60 BE In Good shape.

That the Peoples Savings Bank will 90
out OF business after the claims OF the
depositors have been met in full. within
the next sixty days is a possibility, ac-
cordng to President Lambert. Of that in
stitution. He gives as reason for such
possible action the fact that the stock
holders are divided as TO the advisability
Of reopening for business.
At the meeting Of the directors yester-
day, arrangements were made 10 pay off
the deposltors and settle outstanding ac-
counts. The place viii remain tempOrari-
IL IN the hands OF the receiver appointed
by the Comptroller. and FUN advantage OF
the sixty days allowed By law will be
taken before all liquidations are made.
Beginning probably to-day, the deposit
tors will be paid something like - per
cent Of their claims, and the balance
later, as soon as the securities Of the bank
can be realized upon for such payment.
The question of continuing business will
be determined after the obligations have
been met and the assets Of the bank have
been turned back 90 the stockholders.
Has Plenty of Money.
Last night President Lambert said the
bank officers had experienced odificulty
in raising money sufficient 10 meet its
obligations. He said the act Of the Comp
trouer fell upon them without warning
and naturally found them in position
where they could not meet the demands
OF immediate liquidation.
He said a little time would be required
to arrange matters with the creditors.
but that the securities and resources were
ample. not only 20 meet the deposits. but
30 pay the stockholders in full. If fl
should be decided 20 go out OF business.
Mr. Lambert said that if the officials
had been given twenty-four hours in
which to do what the Comptroller now re-
quires 10 be done. the cash security could
have been obtained without the sUspeu-
sion Of the bank
With reference 10 reOpening for bus
mess. Mr. Lambert said the stockholders
were divided III sentiment. He said there
would be no trouble in doing II 50 far as
raising tn enecessary funds TO operate the
bank were concerned. bat ne thought the
stockholders would not want 10 continue
unless it was made clear there would be a
profit in the undertaking Mr.. Lambert
said the stockholders might decide tC
liquidats and go out Of business.
Deputy Comptroller Kane said yesterday
that it the plans outlined TO the office
should be carried out by the directorate
the institution would not only be in con-
dition 10 reopen for business. but would
really be IN better shape than it had
been for the past six months
He said he could see no reason why
the banks affairs should not be turned
back % the stockholders within q short
period with the assets and good will IN
injured by the suspension.

in such a way that something must be
done. The Ambassador told MI Root
that his people al home would misunder-
stand the situation, and he spoke Of the
feeling already aroused.
Japan's Right Affected.
II the facts concerning the exclusion
Of children from the schools of san Fran
cisco are as have been reported there
seems TO be no doubt that Japan's treaty
rights have been affected. The treaty OF
1894 deals with the rights of citizens OF
either contracting party Ia the territory
of the other IN it's first article. II says
in part.
The citizens OF subjects OF each of the
two high contracting parties shall have
full liberty 70 enter, travel OF reside IN
any part Of the territories of the other
contracting party. and shall enjoy full
and perfect protection for their persons
and property. In whatever relates
40 rights of residence and travel, the citi-
zens who are subject OF each contracting
party shall enjoy in the territories OF
the other the same PRIVILEGES. liberties,
and rights. and shall be subject TO no
higher impos;s or charges in these re-
spectS than native citizens or subjects
or citizens or subjects of the most IA
vored nation.
FouII1e RidicuIes Anti-JaP Talk.
w D. Foulke, formerly a member of the
Civil Service Commission. has just re-
turned from a trip abroad. he depre-
Gates the anti-Japanese sentiment which
has been romented in California. In an
interview here yesterday, he said;
ITO attempt to destroy the traditional
friendship between Japan and america Is
ungenerous and UnpdtriOtic and It be-
comes not only absurd. but dangerous.
when we consider the present position Of
the two countries i'm respect to the Far
East and TO the future commerce Of the
Pacific, in regard to which we entertain
such fattering hopes"

WANTS POACHERS PUNISHED.
state Department Asks Nikudo to
Discipline Them.

The State Department has made de-
mand on the japanese government for the
punishment of those japanese fishermen
who escaped capture by the officers Of
the United States during the recent raids
of japanese poarhers on the seal rock
cries at St Pauls Island Alaska. This
action by the United States will probably
be a complete surprise TO Japan. which
had rather considered this country on the
defensive because of the killing Of several
Of the japanese p0acheTs.
In the representations made by the
State Department TO Japan attention is
called 10 the fact that these robberies of
the sea TOokeries constitute distinct
violation of treaty rights, and are, as
well, an invasion OF American territory
The state Department makes it clear
that il does not necessarily desire severe
punishment for the pOacheTs who es-
capped, but is anxious that the Japanese
government take some action which will
be a recognition OF the fact that the
japanese fishermen violated treaties be-
tween this country and Japan
