ON THE POST OFFICE BILL.
Consideration Of the Measure Re
sumed by the House.

consideration Oh LuS ASdSuIS nc
sumed by the House.
The House today in committee of the
whole resumed consideration of the post
Office appropriation bill.
During the general debate Representative
Bennett of New York took occasion to say
that in view of criticisms heaped upon the
post office and post roads committee of the
House by certain New York newspapers it
was q wonder to him that the city Of New
York received anything near the generous
treatment accorded it.
He discussed the question Of increased pay
for letter carriers and said when examna
lions were to be held for such carriers, as
a legislative member of the fifty-ninth as
sembly district he received notification from
the chairman of the republican city COM
mittee. Mr.. Herbert Parsons who requested
that everybody who so desired be sent up
for the examination.
Notice Of Examinations.
A question was raised by Mr.. GOldfogfe
Of New York whether all the political or
CARNATIONS in New York were informed of
the coming examinations.
Mr. Bennett replied that Tammany Hall
knew of them as well as the republican err
ganization. '-f e.
Mr. Goulden of New York replied that he
had found woeful lack of information on
the part of democrats as to when appoint
ments were to be made.
Mr. Bennett in continuing his discussion
of the increased pay for letter carriers.
raised the point that no general raise Is
really contemplated. because while the
salaries of high-grade men are increased
those of the low-grade men are reduced.
Mr.. Padgett Serves Notice.
Representative Padgett Of Tennessee be-
came emphatic in criticism Of the manner
in which legislation is accomplished and the
treatment accorded the business of the COM
mittee on war claims. He said claims re-
ported from this committee were side
tracked and smothered. Under the rules
one Friday in each month Is set apart for
the consideration of war chains, but Mr..
fadgett said they were Systematically
crowded out, either by rule from the COM
mittee on rules or by motion in the House.
He served notice on the House that il war
claims were not treated with the same cour-
tesy accorded other matters that Jordan
will be a rocky road to travel In the next
House" and he would see to 1t that legis-
lation was enacted according to rule.

SHOOT NOT PoLYaAMIsT.
Senator Dillingham; Declares the Peo
pie Have Been Deceived.

Senator Dillingham; of Vermont ad-
dressed the Senate this afternoon in be-
half of Senator Shoots right to seat
in the Senate.
after the clear. concise, frank and
free statement of the senator from Utah,
it would seem that nothing more was
necessary to be said" began Mr.. Diiling-
ham. He then called attention to the
protest which had been filed and the
long and searching inquiry Of the COM
mittee. The cost of the inquiry to date,
he said. had been more than $4,000
The result was that no criticism could
be made Of Mr.. Shoots character. Of
his constitutional qualifications or Of his
election to the Senate.
Mr.. Dillingham; said that his personal
inquiry Of persons signing petitions
against Senator Smoot invariably dis
closed the belief of those persons that
Senator Smoot was a poIygamist, which
was not true.
Analysing the basis of the protests
against Mr.. Smoot. Mr.. Dillingham; said
the evidence showed that the original
protest originated with the ministerial
association in Utah, and that the alb
solute libel as to Senator Shoots mari
tai relations had been circulated in other
petitions. And this he said. is the
way in which the good women of this
country have been deceived-and they
purposes, loving everything that is good
Many of these women have been de-
ceived because. in my own experience,
I have never met one that has not be-
lieved that Reed Smoot was a polyga-
mist. 1t is too bad. 1t is a crime against
the nation to have such reports go out,
to get the people of the country to be-
lieve a libel against this man."
Mr. Dillingham; closed with the statement
that he believed the American people want
ed the truth and would stand by those who
announced the truth After O most careful
consideration Of the testimony in the case
he was unable, sin consideration of his
oath as a senator. to vote otherwise than to
retain Reed Smoot in his seat.
