PROBING FACTS IN
 SHIP SUBSIDY CASE Witnesses Admit No Knowl-
 edge of a Lobby MANY AGAINST BILL Alexander N. Smith Tells of Repre- sentatives of Steamship Companies
 in Washington Hut Says
 They Were Patriotic
MANY AGAINST BIL

New York, November 30.-None of the witnesses who appeared today before the congressional committee Investigating the charges that foreign steamship interests sought to defeat ship subsidy legisla- tion at Washington, would testify of his own knowledge that the companies had maintained a lobby.
 The chief witness, Alexander N. Smith, secretary of the Barge Canal Terminal commission and former superintendent of the Maritime exchange. said that while he knew foreign steamship companies had representatives in Washington, he did not know of the existence of any lobby.
 The witness said that several com panies had several representatives in Washington when the ship subsidy bill came up during the last 10 or 12 years. He added that number of Americans were against the bill, but for the most part they were men who were interested in foreign countries. Tn reply to a ques- ton from Representative Longworth as to whether the Merchant Marine league was sincere in its pronounced advocacy of ship subsidy legislation, MT. Smith replied that they were all shipping men from the ldhe reBlOHS, aflu ne ''nfmly believed they were patriotic and not in spred by motives of self interest"
 MT. Smith testified that there were a number of men in Washington who fur nished newspapers throughout the coun- try with letters containing favorable re- ports on ship subsidy Legislation. He did not know of any men who wrote letters to the newspapers opposing ship subsidy legislation except one connected with the Merchants association of New York.
 William R. Corwin, secretary of the National Association of Clothing Manu- lecturers, who was formerly connected with the Merchants association of New York, testified that the association fur nished to the newspapers Its views on ship subsidy legislation diametrically op- posed to the views of the Merchant Ma rine league. The association was not dominated by any shipping interests, he said or any other interests. The wit ness said he had absolutely no knowledge of any combination of foreign ship own CTS who sought to influence against the passage of the legislation
 Lawson Sanford, secretary of the trans atlantic conference, could give no details of the organization of the conference, and was instructed to bring before the investigators minutes for the meeting at which the conference was organized and other information. Representative Ol- colt said that MT. Sanford will be the most important witness before the com mittee.

IMPROVEMENTS IN
 POSTAL SERVICE

Washington, November 30-Thou- sands of dollars annually will be saved and the efficiency of the corps of spe- cial agents and inspectors of the post office department will be increased by an order which will be issued tomor- row by Postmaster General Hitchcock.
 By the terms of the order, which is to become effective immediately the several corps of superintendents and special agents doing supervisors and inspection work in the field are merged into the general inspection service of the department and thus placed under a single management. The assem1i ing of the field force under one manage ment is in keeping with MT. Hitch cocks consolidation several months ago of the star route and rural de- livery systems, reform that is sav- ing the department many thousands of dollars by preventing needless dupli- cation of service
 Commenting upon the subject today MT. Hitchcock seid:
 T found that very often, in the in- vestigation of postal agains, an agent sent out from one bureau of the de- partment, followed closely on the heels 7 of representative of another bureau The result was a duplication of re- ports which merely increased the work of the department here without yield ing tangible results. I also discovered that frequently two or more agents from different bureaus were sent in dependently; to a. given place to inquire into separate matters, whereas, in most cases a single agent clothed with more general authority, could have accomp- llshed the sevral objects of inquiry.
 Tt sometimes happened, too, that an agent of one bureau of the department who visited remote places to inquire into business affecting his branch of the service was without authority, un- der the old system, to give attention to other postal needs of that place, no matter how pressing they might .be Thex .contralization of the several branches of the field service under one directing office will prevent such methods and make it possible to rem der more effective the work of these agencies.
 At present there are 355 inspectors and with the addition of the 49 men af- fected by the new order there will be organized under the chief inspector a field force of 404.
