Senator'S May Refund Rent From

Washington. Dec. 21--Concerted ac-
ton by a number of Senators introduce
ing resolutions calling for informa-
ton relative to amounts derived from
the rental of postoffice boxes and reg
istration fees between the wears 1864
and 1875 has aroused considerable In
terest.
Inquiry develops that during those
years postmasters in nearly every
State turned these fees into We
treasury. but that there had been a
ruling since that the fees should be
kept by the postmasters In lieu of SAL
aries. A claim by one postmaster In
the State of Washington for $500
started the flood OF resolutions. It Ia
the intention Of the claimants to try
to have Congress enact an omnibus
measure to refund to all postmasters
the amounts paid to the government
during that period
No one seems to have any idea how
much money will be involved and the
resolutions are intended to supply that
knowledge. There is opposition on
the part OF many Senators who take
the ground that the movement is SIM

money from the public treasury in the
