UNCLE SAM STOPS NEW HAVEN ROAD
 WEIGHING MAILS

There was a clash between the Unit ed States post office department and the New York. New Haven & Hart foard railroad yesterday. in connection with the weighing of the mails which has been going on at the Union depot in New Haven by the road for the past two weeks. and which was supposed. by the New Haven road officials con- nected with the work, would continue for two weeks more
 This weighing by the railroad is said to have been undertaken by the road to prove to its own satisfaction, as it is trying to prove with the express companies. that it is getting its pound of flesh for carrying the malls.
 However true this may be, there came an order by telegraph from the post office department at Washington yesterday noon. which directed the stopping of all such weighing. and to admit none of the New Haven roads weighers either to mail cars in charge of route agents for this purpose. nor to the rooms reserved for the storage of United States mails with ,their scales. U- s. mail rooms are sacred.
 The road obeyed and the weigl ing of the U. $. mails at the New Have depot is now a lost art. as far as the New Haven road is concerned
