POSTOFFICE ASKED
TO PAY AN OLD DEBT
Draft, Drawn in 1851, Presented
s Here for Collec-
.' ton.

An old draft upon the Postoffice De-
partment, drawn May 81, 1851, for s25.
has just been presented for payment.
1t came to the department by mail
this morning from T. E. Roberts, Of
Sandusky, Mich, with the information
that Mr. Roberts had acquired II as a
part of the decorations of business
enterprise he had purchased. The draft
is drawn by j. Mcneil, postmaster at
Port Huron, Mich. to d. Whitman,
and is in payment for the transportation
Of mail by stage line to the Michigan
city before the coming Of the Iron
horse in that locality
The draft Is not indorsed, and II Is
not known whether payment can be
made. Auditor Kram will examine his
records to see just what disposition
was made in the case of this draft,
and whether or not the amount has
ever been paid, or has been covered
back into the Treasury. 1t is certain,
however. that the holder cannot collect
interest.

CONGRESS EXPECTED
TO HELP PLAN TO
CELEBRATE BATTLE
Promoters Confident That
Appropriation of $l5o,0oo
Will Go Through Today.

Reports made to the conference at the
Raleigh Hotel today on preparations for
the celebration of the f1ftieth annivers-
ary of the battle of Gettysburg indicated
that the appropriation of $150,000 will
60 through Congress without delay.
The Senate Is expected to pass the
measure today, according to informa-
ton given the conferes. The commit
tee which waited on the House Rules
Committee found It favorably disposed
toward an early consideration of the
! bill, Speaker Clark was reported to
have given the measure his hearty ap-
proval, and the various members of the
conference were satisfied with what
they had learned Of the attitude of the
members of the House generally.

at Gettysburg in July, 1918. are to be di-
vided equally between the Federal Gov
ernment and the State of Pennsylvania.
the latter having already appropriated
$250,000. The expense is expected to
reach almost 5000, 900
, II, during its session here, the con-
ference has succeeded in creating
enough interest in the oliver appropria-
ton bill to get 1t passed. its mission
will have been accomplished. although
there still remains the problem of get
ting the various States to appropriate
money for the transportation of old
soldiers to and from Gettysburg.
Thirty-eight State legislatures meet dur
ing the coming winter. Each one will
be importuned, to appropriate money for
transportation.
= The Gettysburg memorial project has
met favor everywhere. Although candi-
dates for legislative office may be asked
to support appropriation bills in the
various States there is no intention to
make a political issue of the several
bills. Even II the conferees weer so dis
posed, there will probably be no neces-
sity of going further than to call the at
tention of legislators to the proposed
peace memorial next year.
The commission has avoided any con-
nection with the proposed Lincoln me-
mortal highway from Gettysburg to
Washington. Its sole business Is to
prepare for the great camp on the fam
Gus battlefield next year.

Head of New England Com

One OF the far-reaching effects
which the steamship combination,
which Charles w. Morse attempted to
put through, was made apparent to-
day before the Senate Interoceanic
Canal Committee during the testi-
mony of President Mellen, OF the New
York, New Haven, and Hartford
railroad, in protest against the pass
age of the Panama canal bill in Its
unamended state. The railroad mag
portion OF the bill which prohibits
railroad owned steamship lines.
Mr.. Mellen recited a list of steam
ship properties owned by his railroad
which will be affected by this provi-
sion, and among them mentioned the
Merchants and Miners line. in which
he says the New York, New Haven
and Hartford owns one-half of tho
capital stock, but which is held in q
twenty-five year trust.
1--WE obtained this line" said Presi-
dent Mellen, "at the time Morse was
forming his coastwise shipping com.
bination. and we were much exercised
for fear-that the southern lines would
he cut SoC from enjoying the proper
rate, ana IL was purely as measure
OF protection that we had to obtain
an interest in this line, and we put 1t
in trust so neither we nor anybody
else could touch It."
Criticising the bill, Mellin declared 1t
leaves It's meaning too much in doubt,
and added: I'VE don't know what II
means and we can't take any chances.
AS / see 1t, we cannot continue to own
many of our lines, without violating the
law and the penalties are heavy"
He pointed out that New England is
