BANK STEALINGS
 CAUSE BIG SCARE

Boston, February 27.-With town and bank stealings approaching $2'ooo'ooo uncovered within her borders In SIX months, Massachusetts is beginning to wonder whether her boasted safeguards around the peoples money are straw or steel.
 Coming, as 1t did, hard on the heels of the s425,o00 footing of the South bridge Savings bank, the discovery last week of the alleged embezzlement or s1s.0oo or more from the National City bank of Cambridge by $l2-a-week bookkeeper, has tended to intensity an already strong demand for the creation of conditions that shall make repe- tition of these unhappy events impos- sible. This deraand seems likely to be made articulate at the present ses- sion of the state legislature.
 The suspension of National Bank Examiner Pepper, who examined the insolvent Cambridge bank only last December, has led to 2 suspicion that perhaps the governments system of ex- animation may not be altogether in- fallible.
 Annual or semi-annual examinations by some outside accountant besides the usual state probe, barring employees from having personal accounts in their own institution. registration and cer- tification of town loans and higher bonds for tax collectors and town treas urers are among remedies suggested. Cambridge. Southbridge. Wellesley and Beverly are the places that recently in this state have felt most severely the dishonesty of bank and town officials.

SOMETHING DOING" IN
 CONGER-ALLDS CASE

Albany. N. Y, February 27.-The fourth week of the senate bribery in vestigation does not begin until Tues day morning but each of the two Mon day night sessions of the legislature since the investigation started have had an active bearing upon the Con ger-Allds case and further develop ments are anticipated tomorrow night.
 Although in political and legislative circles there is increasing expectation that the present inquiry will not be permitted to go beyond the specific charges against Senator Aids, it is still too early to foreten with accu- racy what the republican leaders have in mind, 1t Is declared, and in fact it is doubtful if they have settled their policy.
 The senate has in the custody of the finance committee two resolutions, either of which, it is said, would ena- ble the advocates of a sweeping in- vestigation to go as far as they like In reaching legislative corruption for any number of years back.
 There is. however, little chance that the senate will commit itself on any proposition for pushing the probe fur ther until it has exhausted the possi- bilities of the present senate proceed ings.

 Since the United States Steel cor poration entered this district It has ex- pended s6,500.000 in the construction of plants and in the development of its properties.

TAWNEY CONDEMNS
 NAVAL POLICY

Washington, February 27.-In q caustic statement tonight Representa- tive James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the House committee on appropriations, announced his complete opposition to the governments naval programme as 1t was outlined yester- day to the committee by Secretary Meyer.
 MT. Tawney forsees, he said, bank ruptcy of the government 1T such pro- grammes are adhered to and he char acterized their agitation as a conspir- acy of the ship building interests of tine United States.
 Those interests,' said he, "are even now getting ready to start another war scare, Japanese, German or oth- erwise. with view to stimulating pop 'ular favor for an extravagant outlay for the navy"
 "The competitive ship building scheme said the speaker, "as sought by Secretary Meyer Is fraught with danger and the outlay would compel the levying of greatly increased taxes or render necessary a bond issue Of the treasry. which would be drained"
 T have read" said Representative Tawney, "of the governments tenta- tive naval programme with profound astonishment and one reason for my surprise at the more than ambitious naval programme which Is suggested Is the fact that 1t involves a great in- crease In our now enormously large working appropriations for naval pur- poses without basing it on any neces- e fxr TrrI Ia1f al defense and also without regard whatsoever to the fact that in this whatsovere to the fact that in this fiscal year we will be near our aggre- gate revenues in the amount appro- priated this session."

London, February 27.-The session of the house of commons tomorrow is likely to prove fateful for the liberal government. Premier Asquiths ministry may be de- feated by the adverse vote of the rad icals and nationalists.
 It may survive only to be plunged into the throes of ministerial crisis It IS averred and a possible disruption owing to the different views of the ministers on the question of the reform of the house of lords. Or, 1t is said. 1t may be saved from extinction by the votes of the unionists.
 Everything will depend on the nature Of the statement of the governments policy which Premier Asquith will present to the house as result of last weeks cabinet councils, 1t is asserted, and the prime min ister's interview with the King Sunday.

EXPLAINS COST OF
 TRANSPORTING THE MAILS

to the government in carrying maga- zines an average distance of 104S miles than in carrying newspapers 291 miles Is so palpably wrong as hardly to de- serve comment.
 It was contended in the publishers argument that the second-class matter should not be charged with the pro portionate cost of rural free delivery assigned to 1t by the department be- cause that branch of the service was "a governmental policy" conducted at a great loss, and therefore the periodi- calls have no need of that service.
 In reply to this point Postmaster General Hitchcock says:
 The department was conservative in charging to second-class mall 4o23 per cent of the cost of rural delivery Statistics show that 45 per cent of the pieces of mail handled in this service consists of second-class natter Were 1t not for the rural delivery service the circulations of magazines would be materially reduced.'
 In response to the publishers asser- tion that with proper allowance for rural delivery service, there Is sur plus of over $10,000, 900 in all the oper- ations of the postoffice.' MT. Hitch cock declares that with equal force, 1t might be said that with proper all lowance for second-class mall, there is a surplus of over SAG, ,000. 900 iE all the operations 1ofs sJae postal service. Even if there were no deficit. the fact that the departement Is conducting one branch of it's business at loss of $64,- 900, 900 annually would demand atten- tion." yN EMu
 It is pointed out that "the govern ment Is losing over cents pound on second class matter sent through the mails, the annual loss to the na- tional revenues from this cause ap proximating s64,000. .000."
 There are 27,000 publishers in the country enjoying the second class priv ilege, a large proportion of which are magazines.

Washington, February 25.-"Erron- . eous or misleading is the characterize ton by the postoffice department of a statement recently published by the Periodical Publishers association, en- titled An Argument on Second-Class Postal Rates from the Business Stand point Alone"
 The answer of the department to the argument of the magazine publishers was given to the public today. It de- c]ares that the very material premise m which the argument is based proves to be faulty and consequently every important conclusion reached is faiia- cious.
 The interesting-almost startling assertion is made by Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcock that eff the rates on second-class mall were made high enough to cover the entire cost or transporta ton and handling of It., which has not been suggested. 1t would be impossible without creating deficit to reduce the postage on letters from cents to 1 cent. Every time a 2-cent stamp is placed on a letter 1t deirays not only the expense of handling ana transportation of the letter but helps to pay In almost equal measure the cost of distribution through the mails the periodical publications of the country.
 The departments statement Is an elaborate discussion of the cost to the government of postal facilities, partic- ularly referring to second-class mat ter.
 I+is shown that the average length of inc haul of magazines is 1C4S miles, while that of the newspapers-also sec ond-cIass matter--is only. 391 miles. The department asserts that the con clusion that there Is no more expense
