CR|T|C|SES THE SERVICE
PUBLISHERS VIEW OF POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Intimation That Officials Have Not
Been Competent Men Re-
sented at Hearing.

The publishers who are appearing be-
fore the House committee on post offices
and post roads to protest against an In
crease in the rate of second-class mail
matter think that the tenure of office of
officials in the Post Office Department is
SO short that they are unable to get ac-
quainted with their work, and that the
service Is inefficient because inadequate
salaries are paid. George w. Wilder,
president of the Butterick Publishing
Company. was the spokesman yesterday.
Suppose you take the Post Office De-
partment out Of the field Of politics and
put it In the hands of a real business
man. Mr.. Wilder urged; "suoh man
undoubtedly would be confronted with
great problem. Possibly he would be
hero But probably he would be mar
tyr. Yet if such a man as this, after In
vestigating the whole subject, would de-
clare it to be his opinion that 1t was nee
essary to increase the second-class
rate we would say go ahead and do So
But in increasing the rate, please treat
us all alike.
Il do not consider that there is any
justification for separating the maya
zines and the newspapers. II you can
not put the right thing through Con-
gress, you should not put the wrong
thing through.
Mr.. Wilder makes the comment that
no business concern doing a total bust
ness Of approximately s2oO,OOo.OOO year
would ask its high officials 10 work for
the salaries paid in the Post Office De-
partment.
To- $iao pnco,,{ad
TT is impossible he said, "for the sal
aries offered there to attract the caIiber
of men qualified to do the best work.
He also suggested that it was impossi-
bic for a Postmaster General to become
sufficiently familiar with his job during
the short time he is in off1ce-even grant
ing that the department during his tenure
of Office is free from politics-to get
proper grasp of all the multitudlnous af-
fairs.
The intimation by Mr.. Wilder that the
department had been without the
service of competent business man was
resented by Representative Fassett of
New York, member of the committee.
who cited oohn Wanamaker as one Of the
greatest business men in the world, who
had done splendid service as Postmaster
General of the United States. He also
mentioned George B. Cortelyou, former
Postmaster General, who, he said. was
an excellent type OF practical business
man.
In discussing the cost to the government
of the carriage of second-class mail mat
ter, Mr.. Wilder said: For the service
they give to the government the railroads
are paid more than it is necessary for the
carriage OF magazines on long hauls."

ARMY MANEUVER PLANS
$350,000 FOR COAST DEFENSE
EXERCISES.
Corps at Various Ports of Country.
Believed That Congress Will
Give 81, 1850, 900 for Purposes.

Arrangements have been made by the
War Department for the maneuvers to
be held In various parts of the country
next summer, on the assumption that
Congress will appropriate $1.3JO.OO0 for
joint army and militia exercises similar
to those held on an extensive scale in
1908.
The sum Of s35O,OOO will be used for
neighborhood of the big cities. A limited
force of militia will take part.
The schedule. which contemplates the
employment of troops of the regular
army. has been carefully prepared by the
general staff. 1t embraces larger force
than has hitherto been engaged in these
exercises.
One camp will be at the maneuvers
grounds in Jefferson county. n. Y, where
exercises will be held in August, under
the command of Gen. Frederick ID. Grant,
who at that time will have command of
the Department of the East. There must
necessarily be limited representation of
the militia on that occasion. The tours
of duty of each command will be about
ten days of actual work.
The War Department will make every
enOrG nave the eAeIClSeS OI lHe 6ICdl-
est possible benefit to the militia. 1t is
realized that even with an appropriation
of S1,350,OOO the facilities of education
reach comparatively few militia organi-
cations.
Eleven troops of cavalry from the 10th
Regiment at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt;
three batteries from the Sd Field Artillery
Regiment at Fort Myer, and twenty-one
companies Of infantry to be selected from
the oath Regiment, at Madison Barracks
and Fort Ontario, and the 9TH Regiment,
at Plattsburg barracks. will take part In
the New York maneuvers.
There will be in addition at least two
companies of engineers from washington
barracks, Company A of the Signal Corps.
from Fort Leavenworth, Kan, and half
of the Hospital Corps company now on
duty at Fort Niagara.
A new camp will be established at some
site to be selected later-in Pennsylvania,
Maryland or Virginia-where the exer-
cises will be under command of one of
the general officers on duty in Washing
ton, either Gen. Bliss or Gen. Wother-
spoon.
Among the troops which will be sent to
this camp are a squadron OF the 10Th
Cavalry and two batteries Of Field Artil-
lery from Fort Myer, Va, and nine COM
panies from the 18th Infantry, on duty at
forts Jay, Niagara and Porter, New
York.
Other camps will be at Leon Springs,

Dallas, Texas.-From the grasn
OF the law, Allen Brooks, an aged
negro, charged with crininally as
saulting a two-year-old white child,
was torn by Is members of an angry
mob of 5000 and hanged.
Brooks was seized in the courtroom.
where he was to receive the laws JUS
tice, tossed through a window to the
main body of the mob which waited
like a pack Of wolves for their prey,
in the street below.
His broken body was dragged
through the streets and he was hanged
to the Elks' Arch, high above the
heads of the avenging citizens. The
mob was led by an old negro.
Hardly loud word was spoken.
Not a shot was fired and above the
dull murmurings Of the mob could be
heard the aged negro's trembling
shrieks for mercy. After Brooks was
hanged Dallas for nearly three hours
was in the hands of the mob. The
Jail was stormed and death was threat
ened to three other negroes held on
charges of murder They had been
spirited away however and after
searching for them in vain the mob
dispersed.
It developed that deputy sheriffs
had taken the two negroes out of the
city in automobiles and a report by
wire said that they passed through
Fort Worth enroute to Weatherford,
Texas.
The mob announced plans to board
a train and pursue the automobiles
and while they were at the railroad
station making such arrangements a
report was started that one of the ne
groes wanted was in the city hall lock-
up.
Then the crowd hurried to that
place, reached the building but did
not find the negro. By that time it
was late in the afternoon and the mob
dispursed.
