MAIL SHAkEUP is DUE
HITCHCOCK ANGRY; REoReANI-
zATloN OF SERVICE POSSIBLE.
Burdens Are Placed on Railway EN-.
ployes by Orders Issued Without
Postmaster Generals knowledge

Washington.-An upheaval in and
perhaps reorganization of the rail-
way mail service may result from the
development of mismanagenent, in
subordination and ineff1ciency in the
service.
Postmaster General Hitchcock Is In
censed over the situation as it has
been disclosed, and he makes no con-
cealment of his indignation.
For considerable time he has been
conducting a personal investigation
into the operations of the railway mail
service. His inquiry is not concluded
yet, but the facts developed indicate
plainly that its results are likely to
be drastic.
Rumors reached here from several
points that changes in officers of the
railway mail service were imminent
Mr.. Hitchcock expressed himself as
much dissatisfied with the manage
ment of the railway mail service, par
ticuiarly in respect to the personnel
OF the service.
His investigation, he indicated. had
disclosed the fact that orders had
been issued by subordinate officers
placing upon the employees unreason.
able burdens. In some instances hui
initiating burdens. These orders were
promulgated in the name of the post
master general, although he knew
nothing about them.
Mr.. Hitchcock said the only changes
in the status of the railway mail
clerks was caused by an effort of the
department to effect a reasonable re-
adjustment of hours of service, so as
to equalize the hours throughout the
country.

Brahman watched HarriSOn'S rapid
disappearance in a cloud of dust, as
if impressed with the conviction that
the Feringee Sahib must have mad
monkey on the brain. Harrison tore
up the steep incline, to fling himself
from the saddle the moment he
reached the main court of the palace.
Then he strobe toward the house of
the Minister, built in the outer wall,
and thrust his way in unannounced.
Where is your master, Bhaskar
Sahib," he demanded of a servant.
"His Worship has gone away to
another town." the man replied.
Harrison, glancing round, pushed

adjoining room. He had caught sight
of Bhaskar endeavoring to retreat.
Bhaskar turned to face Harrison with
a scowl of resentment.

In spite of Bhaskar's protests,
Harrison dragged the Minister'S son
out of the house and across the court,
followed by an amazed group of SER
wants. With his captive, Harrison
plunged into the palace, calling for
directions as he passed from hall to
gallery, until he reached the young
Princes chamber of audience. He
thrust aside the curtain and halted on
the threshold of dramatic scene.
