Manhattan Liberals to Give
House Warming" Tonight
in New Quarters.
Associated Pres. to The Eve.,,r r,m.,

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
New York. May 3.-The Manhattan
Liberal club, which was founded in
1869 with Horace Greeley as its first
president. will give a "house warm
ing" tonight at its new quarters in
the building of the New York college
Of music. For the last quarter of
century the club has had its head
quarters at 220 East Fifteenth street.
The organization is widely known as
the most liberal organization in the
world and its platform has been oc-
cupied by distinguished exponents Of
every possible religious, political and
economic creed and theory. A free
for-all discussion always follows the
address and the merry band of ICON
oclasts comprising the regular at
tendants at the meetings find their
chief joy in showing the fallacy of the
arguments advanced by the speakers.
Many famous men have presided over
the sessions of the club in years past,
including Horace Greeley and D. NJ.
Bennett, the editors, James Parton,
the historian, Elizur Wright, the in
surance expert. Thaddeus Burr Wake
man, the lawyer, Stephen Pearl An

Object to Change In Postal Rates With
Canada to Be Made Next Week.
Associated Press to The Evening Tines,
Washington, May 3.-The postoffice
department fs receiving comp .latnls
from publishers against enforcing the
recent amendment to the postal con-
ventfon with Canada. After a hearing
given Charles A. Mum of the Scien-
tific American and Robert F. Collier of
Golfers Weekly, the postmaster gen.
eral today gave out statement re-
viewing the history of the negotia-
tions,and concluding:
Last month the postmaster general
of Canada and other officials of that
administration came to Washington
for the purpose of further conference
with the department on the question
involved, which resulted in an agree
ment to modify the postal treaty be-
tween the two countries respecting
the transmission of second class mail.
The department would have MAIN
tanned gladly the existing postage rate
and conditions, but Canada would not
consent to continuance. Two alter
natives remained, To allow the exist
ing arrangement to expire May Z and
thus revert to the conditions of the
Universal Postal Union, namely, for
printed matter Of all kinds one cent
for each two ounces or fraction of two
ounces; or to effect compromise,
namely, one cetn for each four ounces
or fraction of four ounces, bulk
weight, prepaid by stamps affixed. The
latter was the best arrangement that
the department could obtain. Late
last year the announcement by Canada
of the proposed abrogation was given
to the press and published extensively,
and as soon as the matter was
definitely settled, official notice was
promulgated.
Having full control of her own
postal affairs, Canada has the right to
determine the conditions upon which
she will admit matter from other
countries to her mails; and it is not
within the power of the United States
to secure an extension of time in the
enforcement of the amended conven-
ton"

1902, while looking over some MeM-
can policies, the >solicitor-general of
the insurance company in New York
noticed a peculiar coincidence in two
chihuahua claims. The claims came
through the same agent, Richardson,
were certified by the same doctor,
Harle, and in, both cases DR.. Harle
had been the examining physician.
The men had both died after short
illnesses. One of them, Harry Mitch
ell, insured for $4,000, had died on
Feb. II. The other, James Devers,
who was insured for $4,000, died on
Feb. %. Yet the Mitchell claim was
presented in February, and the Devers
claim not until July. In both cases
the insured had no other relatives
than the beneficiary. In the first case
the beneficiary was Hulburt's wife;
in the second case it was William
Mitchell, who posed as Devers'' half
brother. s%Es9' VA
Upon investigation it was shown
that the men had died and been buried
as stated. It wasn't case of 1sbury-
ing the rocks on the company" Then
the check for the Devers claim came
back to the New York bank. It. was
endorsed by C. T. Richardson, other-
wise Hulburt. The other had been
previously paid to his wife, the muir
dered Harry Mitchell's sister. /
