From Mails
" Our Own Wire, Publishcrs' press

By Our own Wire. Publishers Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-SThe President
has asked Postmaster -Genraie Cortelyou
to take steps to bar from the mails news
papers printing the fun details Of the
Thaw trial, II he may do so under the
law.
The following official statement on the
subject was issued at the White House
to-day:
''rhc President has communicated with
Postnlaster-General Cortelyou to learn
whether It Is feasible to bar from the
mails tho papers that give the fun as
gustlng particulars Of the Thaw case. He
does not know whether it IS feasible. but
n it is, he wishes il done"
The Presidents Reason.
Since the Thaw trial opened up n New
York the President had several times ex-
pressed himself very forcibly IN regard TO
the newspapers that have been playing
up the proceedings. He has said that in
his opinion every publication that printed
the testimony in full ought TO be barred
from the mails under the law prohibiting
obscene matter. and he has issued orders
to tho attaches OF the White House. that
under no circumstances shall any OF tho
offending papers reach the eyes Of his
own children.
Section No. 4s7, OF tho Postal Law says
Every obscene lewd or iascivlous book
pamphlet picture, paper. letter writing
print or other publication OF an indecent
character IS untpallabie.
The Postmaster-Generai will have to de-
eide whether OF not the details Of the tes-
timony given in the press reports Of the
trial are obscene or indecent within
the meaning Of the statute Mr, cortcl-

OF bringing It directly to their atten-
ton. This. I believe, has been done.
The underwriters engineers told me
when they came here last fall that they
had nothing to do with fixing insurance
rates They came to Wilmington for
the purpose Of pointing out the condi-
lion OF our fire fighting appliances and
our building laws, so far as they had
anything TO do with the causing or
preventing fires. / think that the de-
ipartlnents should discover at as early
a date as possible II there Is any foun-
dation for the criticism Of the under
writer's engineers and n so correct
them at once. II the criticism Of the
engineers Is not sustained By the var
ious departments affected. I. as mayor
OF the city Of wilmington, shall feel Il
inucmbent upon myself 20 ask for some
assistance to make an impartial inves-
/ itigation OF the matter under discussion.
It Is very clear to me that the city Is
4 in need of an ordinance regulating the
hanging OF uncovered electric wires
carrying high tension current, and also
that our building ordinances need re-
visine."
That some action will be taken by
City Council at its meeting on Thurs
da ynight, Is understood. and It Is quite
likely that there will be a large dele
cation Of firemen and also interested
citizens present.
Chief Ward is anxious that an in
vestigation be made OF the Fire De-
ipartment. To a reporter Of The Even
ing Journal he said;
Every active fireman IN Whining
ton and those citizens who are in
terested in our volunteer system. can
see at glance that the report Of the
underwriters is Incorrect, and that
, furthermore. the underwriters associa-
tion is entirely incompetent TO Judge
the efficiency OF our fire department.
II is true that there Is a combine and
anti-combine faction in the city among
the firemen but this does not interfere
when active work is required. In such
cases all companies work together with
a will. and II they would refuse to DO
so their arrest would be ordered by
me for neglect Of duty. which I surely
would do II such q case should appear,
but as yet ] have not found one single
case where such a neglect ofiduty was
APPARENT. In my opinion" said Chief
Ward. this is a deep laid scheme on
the part Of the insurance companies TO
raise the rate Of insurance and put the
city 10 the great expense OF maintain
ing a paid department.
II can frankly state that every COM
pany in this city affiliated with the
lconbino or the anti-cOnbine is doing
Its duty at fires. that the equipment
OF every company and its efficiency Is
up to the standard of any paid depart
ment IN this country"
As aresult OF. the agitation caused
by the underwriters report. many
think the fire insurance companies do
ing business here should be taxed for
the privilege. and the money so paid
devoted to the maintenance Of the Fire
Department. The rates for insurance
should also be fiNed many contend. and
the Legislature will most likely be
called on to pass on the matter.
