WOULD MELT BELL.
Now Proposed to Make Washburn
Relic Up Into Souvenirs.

The class trouble over the Washburn
college bell remains unsettled still, but
it is reported by a member of the 1911
class today that old relic will be melted
and moulded into souvenirs as way
out of the difficulty. The classes
cannot agree upon any plan to remount
the bell, so the souvenir plan, with a
chunk of bell for every one seems to be
the only way. The only difficulty
about this is that the members of the
1911 class do not know where the bell
is to be found.
The classes ought to get together
and save the old bell" It would be
too bad to destroy it to humor the
whims of a few students Lor ex-stud-

HOW TO RUN THE P. 0. D.
Official views Laid Before the Cir
cuIatiOn Managers.

Chicago. June 14.-Voicing admin
istration views as to how the post
office department should be run, jas.
J. Britt, third assistant postmaster
general today, told the delegates 10
the International Circulation Mana
gers association in session here that
mo honest publisher has anything to
fear at the hands of the postoffice de-
partment."
But" he added, mo dishonest pub
Usher has anything to hope. for. He
was speaking on The Uses ana
Abuses of the Second Glass Mail
Privilege"
Referring to the charge made re-
Gently by Senator Jefferson Davis OF
Arkansas that one publication in this
country had been practically put out
of business by the pOstoffice depart
ment, Mr.. Britt said:
You have heard recently from
some quarters that the department
has without cause, attacked several
newspapers and periodicals and that
a policy of officious interference with
the business of publishers has been
inaugurated. 1t is painful fact that
while the great bulk of the newspa-
pers and periodicals of the country
are honest and law abiding there are
some that wilfully trample the law
under foot and have no regard what
ever for postal laws or the rights of
others. If any haye felt the weight OF
the law it is because they have in
voked it, not because it has been UNI
justly imposed" -
Regarding efforts to eliminate The
annual postoffice deficit, Mr.. Britt de-
clared that the ledgers of the de-
partment at no time should show
either a deficit or surplus, the en-
tire service. being administered on a
self-sustainfng basis" A proper
equalization of rates he said would
easily make it possible to reduce let
ter postage from two cents to one cent
an ounce. THE payment of fully 81
cents per pound on letters, caused by
the payment of cents an ounce ON
underweight pieces" said Mr.. Britt,
gives a profit which is applied to the
deficit caused by deficient rates on
other mail matter"

DR.. HARDING QUITS.
Her Injunction Suit Against
the City.

Dr. Eva Harding has dismissed her
injunction suit against the city com
missioners to prevent them purchasing
the tract for the extension OF Gage
park.
Suit was filed last Saturday by DIR.
Harding asking for a temporary re-
straining order enjoining the city COM
missioners from carrying out their
plan to purchase a 80 acre addition to
Gage park. Then some of the property
owners, who had conferred with the
commissioners regarding the sale or
the land, withdrew their options. They
were dissatisfied with the price fixed
by the appraisers.
A conference of the attorneys for the
plaintiff and the city, was held yester-
day and assurance was given that no
effort would be made by the city to buy
the additional land. The case was then
dismissed. The costs in the action win
be paid by the city.
