The jack is blue flag with white stars
displayed on the jack staff at the bow
of warships from sunrise to sunset when
ever they are in port. Although the
jack of the Maine is torn and tatterec
in places due probably to the action OF
sea water it is still in fairly good condi'

Steps will be taken by Chief Clerk Cur

charge of the relic to insure Its care

The story of the recovery of the Maine

officer of the battleship Missouri. who
says the jack came into his possession
during the recent visit Of the Mississippi
to Havana to participate in the cere-

the second President of Cuba.
This jack" says Commander Culver

first Maine and as I remember was done

foot of the jack. staff ready for use the
next day. Shortly after the destruction
of the ship it was rumored that 1t had
been picked up on the water front, to-

FOR INFLUENCING LEGISLATION
AGENTS OF POSTAL CLERKS
FACE CHARGES.
Postmaster General Gives Rogers,
Kelly and Roberts Ten Days
to Make Defense.

Postmaster General Meyer served notice
yesterday upon Frank Z. Rogers of Chi
cago. president Of the United Association
of Post Office Clerks William E. Kelly
of Brooklyn, n. Y. president of the
National Association of Letter Carriers
and f. Ii. Roberts of this city. represent
ing the Railway Postal Clerks. that
charges had been made against them and
allowing them ten days within which to
submit their answers.
The Post Office Department declines TO
make public the names of the accusers
The complaint is that of attempting to
influence legislation.
Kelly and Rogers, who were absent
from duty on leave, have had their leave
cancelled and received orders from the
Postmaster General to return Immediately
to their respective posts. The Postmaster
Generals action was taken after several
conferences with the President.
The notice to the men reads in part as
follows:
TT is alleged that you have violated
executive order dated January 81, 1908, in
that you have attempted to influence
legislation in your own interest and in the
interests of the association which you
represent.
The executive order in question is
quoted in full, which forbids all officers
and employees of the government, either
directly or indirectly. individually, OF
through associations, ito solicit an in
crease of pay or to influence Legislation
or to attempt to influence in their own
interest any other legislation whatever
either before Congress or it's committees
or in any way. save through the heads
of the departments in or under which
they serve on penalty of dismissal from
the government service.
The three men represent about 1900
employees of the postal service. Because
the Post Office Department is conducted
with the greatest deficit in it's history,
it is declared the action of these repre-
sentatives is embarrassing to the depart
ment
1t is stated that the Postmaster; General
has written letters to the chairman of the
post Office committees of the two houses
of Congress declaring that while he IA
vors legislation to improve the condition
of the postal employees. he cannot recon-
mend such action at this time. in view
of the condition of the postal revenues.
He also has informed them that a rural
delivery parcel post will increase the
revenue by many millions of dollars with
out any outlay, because there will be no
costs for railroad transportation.
