Sixty-hrst Congress. The Committee on Post
Offices and Postroads will favoraby report the bill
to the Senate, and it should be enacted into law
before the close of this session. I believe not

the department will be able with almost unerring
certainty to determine the actual cost Of each ser
vice performed, thereby reaching sound basis
for legislation such as is neither available nor
obtainable under the present system
Il deeply sympathize with the earnest desire
of the department officials to get rid OF the de-
fcency they are fated to encounter each year, but
I submit that the first real movement toward that
end must begin with the substitution of a modern,
up-to-date business organization for the existing
antiouated system, which rests upon few sec
tons of law enacted in 1885, supplemented by
statutory fragments added from time to time
since that year"

CURB ON ROLLER SKATES
Stover Restricts Them to Level Walks
in One Park.

An order prohibiting coastins on roller
skates in Mount Morris Park has been
issued by Park Commissioner Stover be-
cause Of the danger to pedestrians Com
plaints we're made by persons In the neigh
borhood. who said that the steep inclines
rave so much impetus TO the coasters that
a collision would result seriously.
Hereafter, according 10 the order skaters
will be allowed TO use the level walks only.
While Commissioner Stover has not made
any announcement TO that effect. It is un-
derstood that he is contemplating similar
rule for other parks where the coast!ns has
become a menace.
In Central Park certain paths have been
omen to youngsters on skates, but the level
surfaces have not appealed to them, and
as a consequence they have sought the
steep paths. occasionally bowling over un-
suspecting persons while Swimming around
the numerous sharp turns.

ST. Petersburg Feb. l3.-The trial Of
Count O'Brien de Lassy, Nine. MuravieH
and Or. Pantchenko for the poisoning OF
Count Vassir Bouturlin is nearing the END.
The prosecutor, in a five hours speech to-

He demanded the full penalty against de
I.assy and Nine. Muravief, and asked the
Jury 10 exercise consideration in the case
OF Pantchenko, who. he said, was the tool
Of the others.
The prosecutors speech was devoted for
the most part 10 de Lassy. He compared
him and Pantchenko TO turbulent streams

testimony given by Pantechenko at the trial
and TO his strange behavior. but held de
I,assy I'D 10 scorn for his tactics in attempt
ing TO besmirch Count Nassilis widow:
General BouturIin and others. He insisted
that de Lassy was the author and insugator
Of the crime.
