RAPS POSTAL SERVICE.
CRITICISM OF SYSTEM BY REP.
RESENTATIvE BARNHART.
Various Charges Outlined Which,
He Says, Helped to Create De-
partment Deficiency.

"Any effort to increase the postal eX-
penses of the millions in order that the
unnecessary high rates for transporting
the mails may be continued will be al
most universally condemned, as it should
be-" asserted Representative Barnhart Of
Indiana in addressing the House of Rep
resentatives today.
Mr. Barnhart pointed out various
charges against the postal service, which,
he declared. were not warranted, and
which. he added. helped to create a de-
ficiency in the postal revenues.
Differences Noted.
''The President Mr.. Barnhart said
Estates that it costs the government 0
cents per pound to carry second class
mail matter. In many instances this
mail matter occupies one compartment of
a car and express traffic the other. On
the latter the tariff from Washington to
Chicago. distance of approximately
1000 miles, Is ~ cents per pound in fifty
or more pound quantities. For shorter
distances the price Is about half as much
and for across-cOntinent transportation
twice as much. If the express companies
make large profits at the rates they
charge, are the railroads dealing fairly
With the government in charging two or
three times as much for carrying nail
as they charge for express shipments?'
Mr.. Barnhart charged that loose bust
ness methods characterized the conduct
OF the Post Office Department.
THE country he said, lis entitled to
the present mail facilities. Reasonable
postage and free mail delivery have done
mora to bring the farmer and the labor
Ing man into deserved touch with intel
lectual and commercial progress than any
public facility ever given to them.
Benefits of System.
Reasonable rates have also given op-
portunity to millions, who could not
otherwise afford to do so, to supply them
selves and their families with newspapers
and magazines that contribute largely to
our universal education and our marvel
Gus progress. If there is living man
who uses the mails who is clamoring for
higher postal rates or curtailed postal
service, i never heard of him. But
have heard of an army of people who
demand continuation of first-class mail
service with no increase I'm rates.
Less political debt paying and more
business sagacity in thee management Of
postal affairs might prevent deficits, said
Mr.. Barnhart.

CRUISERS ARE CRIPPLED
WEST VIRGINIA AND MARY
LAND IN BAD SHAPE. \
Engineer of Former Protests Against
Taking Her to Sea-Laid Up
for Repairs.

VALLEJO. Cal. February 19.-It has
been learned at Mare Island navy yard
that the cruisers West Virginia and Mary
land were both in poor condition when
they reached San Francisco from the
orient last Monday.
The West Virginia. it is asserted, en-
tered port running only ONE engine with
two cylinders. Conditions in the engine
room were such that Lieut.. Commander
C. B. Barnes, engineer of the cruiser.
not only recommended that the vessel
be sent to Mare Island for general over
hauling, but filed a formal protest with
the Navy Department against taking the
West Virginia to sea when the feet sails,
on the ground that she Is unseaworthy.
Both the West Virginia and the Mary
land, it is said, consumed from go to 800
tons Of coal daily on the run from Homo
lulu, while the California anG the South
Dakota, running at the same speed, used
only 100 tons each.
The Maryland's engines and boilers are
declared to be in little better condition
than those of the West Virginia.
Because OF friction between the con-
struction and the engineer corps at the
Mare Island navy yard the outcome of
the inquiry into the condition of the boil
ers Of the cruiser New Orleans, when that
vessel was placed in commission two
months ago. is awaited with interest. The
board of inquiry has finished its work
and has forwarded its findings to the
Navy Department.
The New Orleans sailed for Honolulu
when placed In commission, but was COM
PEELED to return to port because of leaky
boiler tubes.

TAKES TARIFF ACTION.
Greece May Be Entitled to Low
American Rate.

The government of Greece is about to
take action in the matter o. import
duties on cotton. seed and mineral oils
that will, in all probability. entitle her
to receive the benefit of our minimum
tariff rate. telegram has been re-
ceived from the United States minister
at Athens stating that bill had been
presented to the chamber Of deputies
which will have the effect of restoring
the former duties on these oils.
Some time ago the Greek government
took action imposing high rate of duty
on cotton seed and mineral oils, which
this government regarded as direct dis
elimination against American products.
The matter was taken I'D automatically
with the result that the Greek govern
ment has placed itself behind the new
bill restoring the old rates on these prod
ucts, which were reasonably satisfactory
to the American exporters.
The action, 1t is believed, will remove
all obstacles in the way of the applica
ton Of our minimum rates to all goods
imported from Greece. The new act will
take effect Immediately.
1t is understood at the State Depart
ment that early next week the President
will issue proclamations extending our
minimum rates to a number Of countries
found to be entitled to the same, and Ii
Is likely that Greece will be included in
the list.

Post Office Department, at his own re-
quest has been relieved of the chief clerk
ship and appointed assistant superin-
tendent of the division of salaries and al
lowances. with headquarters on the Pa
cific coast. Mr.. Covert was urged to re-
main in his present position and given as
surance of something better in the near
future, but his desire to get out into the
west, where opportunities for success are
better, in his opinion, prompted him to go.
He came into the postal service from
Wisconsin in October, 1901. as expert
stenographer to the post office inspector
in charge at Chicago. In March, 1908, he
was called to a better position in Wash
ington under the fourth assistant post
master general. in which his ability at
tracted attention. In July. 1905, Mr.. Co
vert was made chief of the division OF
appointments and continued to serve in
that position after his Office was transfer
red to the jurisdiction Of the first as
sistant postmaster general. who was then
Frank II. Hitchcock. the present Post
master General. Postmaster General
Meyer promoted Mr.. Covert to the super
intendency of the division of post office
supplies in November, 1906, and to the
chief clerkship of the department in Feb
ruary, 1909.
Before entering the postal service Mr..
Covert served for three years in the
United States Navy. During the Spanish
American war he was attached to the u.
8. S. Baltimore, which took part in the
bombardment and battle of Manila bay.
when he was the most seriously injured
of the seven Americans who were wound
ed in that fight.
His resignation as chief clerk of the
Post Office Department will take effect
two weeks hence. when he will leave for
his new post on the Pacific coast.
Theodore L. Weed, chief clerk OF the
Department of Commerce and Labor. will
succeed Mr.. Covert as chief clerk of the
Post Office Department.

POST OFFICE REORGANIZATION
Commissions Bill to systematic De-
partment Methods Finds Favor.

The postal commissions bill for the re-
organization of the Post Office Depart
ment was introduced in the House yes
terday by Representative Weeks of Mas
sachusetts, chairman of the House COM
mittee on post Offices and post roads.
A substantial majority of this commit
tee it is understood, favors recommend
ing the bill for passage.
The measure, which is long and goes
into the subject in great detail, provides
for division Of the country into fifteen
mail districts, each to be under charge OF
a superintendent with entire jurisdiction
who shall report to the Postmaster Gen
eral annually. 1t is Mr.. Weeks idea to
make the pay OF these superintendent
sufficiently high to attract good business
men to the service.
A new system of cost accounting and a
plan for the redistribution of the work OF
the department among the various bureau
Is provided also by the measure.
Senator Carter introduced the same bill
IN the Senate.
