Representative Sims Is Pleased.

From the round countenance of Rem.
resentative Thetus Willrette Sims of
Tennessee there radiates this morning a
smile of holy joy. For did not the Dis
trict committee of the House, at yester-
days harmonious session. approve of the
Union station permanent trackage plan
for which Thetus Wilrette fought and
bled and died. Even SO.
IT'S true that the plan favored by Mr..
Sims contemplated the elimination of all
disfguring tracks from the great Union
station plaza plans. But some members
of the House committeeman presuma bly
they have cOrns or other varieties of sore
feet-wanted the cars Of the local trac-
ton systems to approach within reason
able walking distance of the Union sta
ton. So Sims gayerin. He told a Star
reporte~ about it this morning.
II didn't quite like it," said he. al
he smoothed the wrinkles from his waist
coat with a sweeping. outward down.
ward motion. but I was in a concilia-
tory mood. I gave in. I am reasonable
I let 'em have it their way"
Mr. Sims also favored universal trans
fers. He was one of the original uni
versal transferers.
But he smileth not when he thinks of
that playful body at the other end of
the Capitol leaping up and down on the
recumbent form Of the Sims Cancellation
bill.

CITY POST OFFICE,
Postmaster General Urges a Site
Near New Union Station

AsOoA 4S0W OAlOu
Postmaster General Meyer and CITY
Postmaster Barnes appeared before the
House committee on public buildings and
grounds this morning to urge upon Con-
gress the purchase of a site close to
tdle new. Union station and the erection
thereon of building to accommodate the
city post office. Both Mr. Never and
Mr.. Barnes claimed that not only would
this change result in more speedy and
efficient mail delivery service in the bust
ness and residence sections, but that a
considerable annual saving would be
effected
At present there is an annual cxpedi-
ture Of about $25.OOO for screen wagon
service. With the city post Office located
close to the new Union station and de-
liveries made. by carrier direct from the
railroad terminal-except i'm the case of
the three principal post office branches in
the business section of the city-it would
be possible to put most of these screen
wagons out Of commission and save all
but perhaps few thousand of the amount
mentioned.
More than this. large percentage of
the clerical force now employed in the
post office branches in various sections of
the city could be either dispensed with or
transferred to work i'm the main most
office. where additional help is badly need
ed. The government would save, more
over. in the rent Of buildings and in
various other ways.
As an additional argument. Postmaster
General Meyer declared that the Post or
flee Department was badly in need of ad-
ditional quarters. being excessively cramn.
ed at present in that portion Of the build
ing at nth street and Pennsylvania ave.
nue. set apart for its use.

tion with Mayor Mahool.
OF the 100 applicants for work who
called on the commissioner during the

CAPITOL GRAFT CASE
GOV. PENNYPACKER INVOLVED
IN LEWIS TESTIMONY.

HARRISBURG. Pa. February THE
names of Gov. .Pennypacker and for
mer Attorney General Hampton l.. Car
son were brought into the capitol pros
ecutions today by the testimony of
Stanford B. Lewis. assistant of Architect
Joseph NJ. Huston. at the trial for alleged
conspiracy of Contractor J. III. Sanderson
former Auditor General Snyder former
State Treasurer Mathucs end former Pub
lie Building Superintendent Shumaker.
When State Attorney Berry first called
attention to the alleged capitol frauds
fourteen months ago, Gov. Pennypacker
directed Attorney General Carson to make
an investigation of the charges Mr.. Car
son accordingly wrote letters to all per-
sons concerned in the construction and
furnishing of the big building, asking
them for Information Gearing on the
charges. All of them replied and the
attorney general made a report which
showed that no laws had been violated
Letter Was Misleading.
Today Lewis. under cross-examin ton
by counsel for Snyder and Mathues. de-
clared that Architect Hustons letter in
the Carson inquiry was suggested and
framed by Pennypacker, Carson and Sny-
der by whom Lewis was called to Har-
risburg to discuss this matter. Lewis ia id
the statements in the letter that eyery
article Of furnishings had been carefully
weighed and measured by the architects
before they were delivered and paid for
were partly true and partly misleading
He explained that the Huston letter was
written to dovetail into the letters writ
ten by other persons connected with the
construction and equipment of the capitol
former -.
testimony was the most sensational of
the trial.

duties-s Any assertion that am shaping
my plans in the hope of becoming public
printer is without an atom of truth.
Among the charges which the joint in
pursuant to the suspension of Public
Printer Stillings is that his administra-
ton has comprised remarkable extrav-
agsrces Chairman Lands. when he
visited the government printing once
yesterday afternoon to call on Mr.. RIOS
sitter. says he found himself ushered into
surroundings which a iulti-millionafre
might fancy. In the public printer OF
fees massive furniture. costly pictures.
appointments of elegance little in Keeping
with a printing and binding plant were
noted.
Subjects for Investigation.
The committee. with the help of Mr..
Rossiter. will endeavor to find out why
roughly speaking it has cost the govern
tnent. as charged. $50 to turn out job
which commercial houses would do for
49, The committee may inquire into
SUCH ale cations as these: That 4J cents
a pound has been paid for quantities or
inks worth less than 90 cents a pouno !:
tina. the storerOoms Of the government
printing office contain at the present
time more paper stock than under other
administrations was used up in half
dozen years; that 90 great was the ponp
with which Public Printer Stillings sur
rounded himself that persons having Ousl-
ness with him were frequently required
to make appointment day ahead. and
never could gain his presence without
running the fire of uniformed lackeys
and threading a maze of scarlet tape.
The charges preferred by organized Ia
Dor against Public Printer Stillings have
been presented to MIR. Rossiter by James
L. Feeney and p. J. Ryan, representing
the Central Labor Union. They allege
violations of the eight-hour law. the civil
service laws and Determinations against
veteran soldiers and soldiers widows. 1t
Is said there are also allegations that Mr..
Stllings awarded contracts for supplies,
etc. without competitive bidding.
