IN
SENATE TODAY
Final Vote on Measure Which
Was Cause of Calling
Special Session.
LA FOLLETTE'S LAST SHOT
AssaiIs the Newspapers and
Defends the Progressive
Republicans in Speech.

Washington, July %. - Chairman
Penrose of the senate finance commit
tee promised the president to lay the
Canadian reciprocity bill, with the ap.
proyal Of both senate and house. Oh
his table this afternoon before the
president starts for Beverly.
Senator Townsend's amendment ia
the bin for international improvement
Of the st, Lawrence river was defeat
ed by large vote.
In his closing speech against the bin
Senator La Toilette assailed the press
for supporting it.
He said the newspapers would suffer
in loss of influence for the support
they have given TO legislation In which
they have direct money interest"
1--WE have senators on this floor who
are bankers" said he, senators who
are woolen manufacturers and cotton
manufacturers, senators who are In
terested IN lumber and mines.
Let no newspaper hereafter nssar
any senator because he supports legis-
lation In his own peculiar interest"
Mr.. La Toilette defended progressive
Republicans from the charge that they
have changed front on the tariff and
are now opposing a partial tariff revf
zion as embodied In the reciprocity
bill.
He said the progressives stood Just
where they did in the tariff fight Of
1909, but that the reciprocity bill was
not true Republican measure.

BACKSfAMP|NG
IS ELIMINATED
Lessons Work for Clerks at
the Post Office.

Back stamping incoming first class
mail has been excluded from the
daily rounds Of duty at the post Office
during the past month and the local
office will continue for the present
under this system, according to g
statement made by Postmaster
George w. Tice today. He has Sc
cured permission from the postal au-
thorities at Washington, D. c., to do
away with this extra work during
the summer and believes that the
orders will never be rescinded.
5000 Letters Daily.
AS many as 5000 letters are re-
ceived at the local Office during the
day and many hours are saved b!
not stamping this enormous amour
Of mail. Postmaster Tice figure
that the new ruling saves him a
least an hour for -'.a,s,---3-=a--t.'--
first morning M, a,.s--,.,p9e 9e- a.
ing the day do do' not rt1sr,T nffygn, Sc
the amount of labor saved is proper
tionately decreased, but many hours
are saved by the change in system.
At the present time several large
post office are not back stamping
any first class mail, and have run
under these orders for some time.
Philadelphia was the first city in
which the idea was tried, and proved
SO successful that II rapidly spread
to other large mail centers. Perth
Amboy is the only post office In the
county, so far as can be learned,
where first class mail is not back
stamped. The Office has stamping
machine, oyerhauled only recently.
Second, third and fourth class mail
is never back stamped.
Clerks Vacations.
One of the advantages of the rul
ing becoming effective here at this
time is the clerks vacations. Only
one substitute was added, and he
only works five hours a day, and the
clerks claim the work would not
have been completed if the stamping
continued Several business men
have complained, 1t is said, Of the
new rule. They want their letters
back stamped so that any discrep-
ancy arising between the date OF the
letters mailing and receipt at the
local Office might be detected.

half large enough to accomm0d date
these people. 1t Is Mr.. Peterson's /
plan to use the second and third sto- ,
ries for dormitory purposes and the 7
floor could accommodate about fifty I
roomers, at 50 to $3.50 a week. 1t I
Is estimated this would give the as ,
sociation an income of about s1G0 /

already agreed to take a room dur /
ng the first year, furnish it and pay !
