STAMPS SHREDDED

Postmaster Asks Uncle Sam

Son Caused.

Postmaster General Hitchcock today
received letter from E. A. Epperson,
postmaster at Durham, Cal, asking
that his office be credited with s5.S5 for
postage stamps destroyed by his son.
Postmaster Epperson wrote that the
destruction occurred while the stamps
were in the possession Of another His
paternal modesty was such that he re-

person, his son. was asleep in room
adjoining the postoffice on the night of
December 26, when he heard a burglar
at work on the postoffice safe. The
office had been robbed five times within
a few years, and only year ago the
son had killed a burglar. On this par
ticular night young Epperson took his
gun from the wall and filled the burglar
with shot. Young Epperson and his
father were not much concerned about
the burglar, who died in few hours,
but it so happened that the buckshot
lodged in the spot where the burglar
had placed a bundle of stolen stamps,
and riddled them. The tattered stamps
were sent TO the Postmaster General as
evidence.

MEMBERS DISCUSS
CALLAHAN'S FITNESS
Question of Corporation In
fluence in Chamber of Com
merce Causes Stir.
Continued from First Page.)

Mr.. Callahan's election. 1t is to 4feer
the Chamber of Commerce free from
the influence Of special interests. If a
history OF the commercial organiza-
tions of the United States were written
1T, would show. that special interests.
as rule. seek to control such organi-
cations and to use them to accomplish
the interests own ends.
Nobody charges that the public SER
vice corporation interests of which Mr..
Callahan is part are seeking to con-
troll the Chamber of Commerce for
such purposes. 1t is generally ad-
mitted, however, that 1t would be diff
cult for Mr.. Callahan-as it would be
for any other man--to be impartial
where the interests of one Of the pub
lie service companies with which lac Is
affiliated were at stake.
Such a condition is likely to arise in
the Chamber of Commerce at any mo-
ment When that moment comes, 1t is
undoubtedly the desire of every fair
minded member that the officials deal
ing with 1t be in such position that
there can be no question that their
interest will be the interest of the
Chamber as a whole and of the city as
q community.

Senator Lodge, in an address in Bos.

years record in the Senate and made 4
plea for reelection for a fourth time
He has been moved to do this by the
attacks on him led by Governor-elect
Foss, who declares he is already de.
feated. Senator Lodge has never be.

He declared himself a progressive and
said he had supported the policies and
the candidates of the Republican party
State and National. He announced
himself firm believer in a tariff com
mission. which he said was no new idea
with him. On Canadian reciprocity he
said: .s ......-.
''I have sought. and now desire. a re-
ciprocal arrangement with Canada
which will be a benefit to both coun-
tries, which will enlarge our trade with
each other, and which will increase the
trade of New England and swell the

Harries Denies Board
Is Improperly Used

Gen. George H. Harries, president OF
the Board of Trade, at the January
meeting Of the directors Of the board
yesterday afternoon, delivered an ad-
dress, in which The Times and its ar
tiCIe on the Chamber of Commerce cleo
tion. without being specifically men
toned. were most emphatically de-
nounced. General Harries said in sub
stance:
"It is alleged in a certain publication
this afternoon that the Board of Trade
IS being improperly used: that its presi-
dent is the prime mover in such action,
and that such improper use Is being as
sented to by the Board of Trade.
Il wish TO say that in all the history
of the Board of Trade / have never
known 1t TO be used for selfish pur-
poses or have / known it to put its
strength back of any mans political.
commercial, or social ambitions or de-
stres. / have never known the Board of
Trade to do the improper thing.
II would consider the allegations more
serious, IL they came from a more
serious source.
''The transportation committee, like
every other committee of the board, is
not appointed by the president person
ally, but is made up of members of the
board who first have expressed their de-
sire to serve on that particular commit
Tee.
"The chairman of the transportation
committte Is q high-minded gentleman,
too far above the possibility of such
attacks to be injured. The report of his
committee will be presented to the next
meeting of the Board of Trade. 1 ap
peared before the committee in a civil
capacity and testified as an individual.
'I don't believe any member of this
board believes any of the allegations
made in this publication. and don't think
fG for ma N alFn d.
fense of the board or myself against
the attack.
IT still believe there are some decent
people who are willing to believe others
decent.
THE worst thing that can be said
about a man is that he is a fool. 1
would have been a fool to try to influ
ence' the transportation or any other
committee.
THE alterations made are simple and
downright lies

When certain changes are put into ef-

Maj Richard Sylvester, president of

Bureau Grows Rapidly.
The National Bureau of Criminal Iden-

Principles of System.
The two Fundamental principles u the
Bertillon system are that the human
frame undergoes practically no change
after the age Of twenty years, and that
nature has no duplicates. The height.
hich is most susceptible of variation
commonly called the "reach." This Is
the distance from the finger tips OF
one hand to the finger tips Of the other
with the arms extended horizontally
from the body.
The head length measurement Is one
which experts say never varies. This
IL determined by means OF a compass
like instrument, and Is the distance

between the two points just above the

Improved SERVICE
ON CAR LINES WILL
Be SIGNAL VICTORY
Citizens of Brightwood and
Takoma Park Win Before
Commerce Body.

BY order of the Interstate Commerce
Commission an improved car service to
and from Brightwood must be inaugu-
rated by the Washington Railway. and
Electric Company and the Brightwood
Railway Company. The Commissions .
order is intended to relieve the coy
gested traffic on this line during ne
rush hours complaint having been made
that the Brightwood system furnished
the worst example of "overcrswding"
in the city. ,. -ny
The companies are required hereafter
to furnish sufficient cars to comfortably
handle the traffic from Ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue and the Bright
wood car barns. 1t Is ordered that cars
with a seating capacity of not less than
thirty-four shall be operated on head
way Of not more than one and one-half
minutes, leaving Ninth street and the
Avenue. and also leaving the Bright
wood car barns, between the 4:30 and
5:15 p. m. and 7:30 and s:29 a. m.
The complaining citizens of Bright
wood and Takoma Park. who called the
attention of the Commission to the un-
satisfactory services, feel they have
won substantial victory since the
order issued by the Commission Is one
of the most sweeping yet directed at
Washington street car companies.
The Commission also handed down
another order of far-reaching effect
upon the street railway situation in
Washington. This order makes the
company, rather than the motorman.
responsible in the event a car fails to
stop at any crossing when signaled.
and when there is room aboard for the
prospective passenger.

"The popular opinion is that Henry

"Inueed. .-r. Beecher Is on record as
plainly stating that no request, no sue-
