POST OFFICE. PROHIBITS
SECRET ORGANIZATIONS
Orders Directed at Those Of
fees Where They Are
Formed or Being Formed.

BY the terms of an order issued by
First Assistant Postmaster General c.. p.
Grandfeld all secret organizations within
the service of the Post Office Depart
ment are prohibited This action is in
line with an order issued last spring by
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Joseph Stewart which prescribed secret
orders within the body of railway mail
clerks.
When the initial order was issued by
the second assistant postmaster general
there was widespread protest from or
ganized labor, since the order was taken
by the American Federation of Labor as
direct inhibition against organizations
of railway postal clerks affiliating with
the federation. But the officials of the
department refused to rescind the order
or in any way to modify it, and an appeal
carried to President Taft also was denied.
The order which now relates to the
clerical forces Of the different post Of
fees and to their city delivery depart
ments is understood to be equally COM
prehenSive.
Dr. Grandfield stated today that the
order was not issued broadcast, but
only to such offices where the reports
of post Office inspectors showed secret
organizations within the department to
be either already fourishing or, else
in process of formation.
In each instance the postmaster is noti-
fled that one or more clerks, mentioned
by name, are acting as organizers for a
secret organization of post Office clerks,
and he is required to inform the or
ganizers that such organizations within
the service are regarded as inimical to
the interests of the government. The
order. however, specifies that it is not to
be construed as interfering with any
right which a clerk may have of acting
personally and individually with refer
ence to organizations outside the postal
service.
The order was sent to the postmasters
of fourteen cities, namely: Berkeley, Los
Angeles. Vallejo and San Francisco: CAL;
Iowa: Somerville, N. j.; New York, N.
Y; Medford, Ore; Salt Lake City. Utah;
Seattle and Walla Walla, Wash, and
Milwaukee. Wis.

Saturday. September 16. Joseph NJ. Pope
and his son John met Thompson at q ne.
gro's hut, where they all drank some CT.
der, and that the quarrel before the
shooting was of Thompson's making.
Alexander Kilgour, counsel for Thomp-
SON, said he expected to prove that
Thompson acted in self-defense. He
stated that after the fight between John
Pope and Thompson, John Pope started
for his gun. which was lying near the
as he went for his gun Thompson ran
into his house for his own gun. and
that when Thompson appeared in the
doorway of his house the first thing
he saw was John Popes gun pointing
at him. He hopes to prove that the
time, his contention being that the elder
Pope was killed by the load from John
Pope's gun. and not Thompson's gun
The first and the most important wit
ness for the prosecution was John Pope,
his testimony agreeing with what the
prove.

MARQUIS OF WATERFORD
MEETS DEATH IN RIVER
Body Found This Morning in
Stream Not Far From
His Home.

DUBLIN. Ireland. December 2-The
Marquis Of Waterford Henry de Ia Poe1
Beresford was drowned last night in the
River Clodagh. near his residence at Cur
raghmore, in the county of Waterford.
He was one of the most prominent among
the Irish nobility and a nephew of Lord
Charles Beresford. Born in 1875 he sue
ceeded to the title in 1896. He was edu-
Gated at Elton and then served in the
Royal Horse Guards, afterward transfer
ring to the militia and more recently be-
coming lieutenant colonel of the South of
Ireland Yeomanry. He is succeeded by
his eldest son, the Earl of Tyrone
The marquis body was found at s
o'clock this morning. He had been hunt
ing yesterday, and when he returned to
Curraghmore paid his customary visit to
the kennels before dinner. When he
failed to return to the house search
was instituted and continued throughout
the night. The body was eventually dis
covered in the small River Clodagh, which
flows between the kennels and the resi-
dence. The night was very dark and the
river much swollen by recent rains. 1t is
thought probable that the marquis fell in
the water accidentally.

Full Power to Act Conferred.

would your bill give the Commission
ers sufficient power to allow them to or
der universal transfers. if they should ia
vor them?" the senator was asked.
1T is framed to give the commission
power to act on all matters affecting the
public utilities. including the transfer
question. 1t would seem such commits
sion is the one to deal with that matter
This committee has always been con-
Quoted on the principle of giving hearings
to any body of citizens that desired to be
heard on matters affecting them. If the
committee were to take up the universal
transfer question. it would mean that
hearings must be held. Why now have a
commission to give the question its expert
consideration
Mr.. Gallinger intimated that the bill for
the public utilities commission would re-
ceive precedence, SO far as he was con-
cerned, over all bills affecting specific
changes in public utilities.
Interested in Pension Measure.
Senator Gallinger thinks there will be
no difficulty in getting through the Sen
ate a bill establishing an adequate fund
for pensions for policemen and f1remen.
That ought to be DONE he comment
ed. "A bill with that object in view
passed the Senate at last winters session,
such bill will again be approved by the
Senate 1t makes little difference whether
the fund is made up out of certain reve-
nues of the District or by a straight ap-
preparation by Congress"
THE straight appropriation from Con-
gress would be based on the half-and-
half principle. would it not?' he was
asked.
ut ought to be-" he replied. Il was OPP
posed to making distinction in the appr0-
nri nlavRr0nndS

another item there is no telling how TAR
it will CO."
The senator agreed that the firemen
ment as well as District property and
there should be applied to it's pension
fund the half-and-half principle that ap-
plies to other appropriations.
The senator was not so optimistic re-
garding the prospects for the passage OF
a bill for public school teachers re-
tirement fund.
Doubt on Teachers Bill.
II would rather doubt that such bill
will be passed this session" he remarked.
There are so many other matters and

was asked.
II have always been in favor of lib
eral policy of park extension" MI. Gal
finger replied.
The District committee chairman ex-
pressed much interest in proposals TO
change the personnel of the excise board
and to make other amendments to the
excise legislation of the District.
There might be some question ABOUT
imposing more work upon the Judges OF
the courts he remarked. But l am
sure that the recommendations of the
commissioners for changing the excise
board will receive serious consideration
by this committee.
II suppose, too, that Senator Works
and Senator Jones will push their piHs
for further limiting the liquor traffic in
the District"
