NAMES COMMITTEE
TO TRY MAIL DEVICE
The Scheme Is 20 Exchange
Pouches While Trains
Are Moving.

Postmaster General Meyer has ap-
pointed a committee. consisting Of
Samuel NJ Gaines and Charles RACER,
superintendent Of railway mail service;

assistant superintendents of railway
mail service, and p. L. Andrus. super
intendent of tho Mail Lock Repair Shop.
10 test a number Of devices intended
for exchanging mails with moving
trains.
In exchanging mails at stations where
mail trains do no. stop, the pouches
are thrown from the cars. This sub
jects the pouches 20 very hard usage
and thereby entails heavy expense on
the department for their repair At
times, in throwing Of the pouches they
do not clear the train and the suction
draws them beneath the wheels. In
such instances mail is mutilated and
some Of it destroyed, which. of course.
Is a much more serious matter than
that Of damage TO the equipment For
many years the Postoffice Department
has from T. ne 10 time invited inventors
to submit devices looking to the sue
cessful exchange OF malls with moving
trains.
In response 20 an advertisement issued
in October last. proposals to supply
seventy-six catching and delivering de-
vices were received by the Postmaster
General. These proposals were publicly
opened January Is 1905 Eight of the
DEVICES were found worthy of further
consideration, and this committee is TO
make very thorough test Of these
eight devices and to report upon the
practical workings of each.
