Senate Committee Finally Comes
to an Understanding.
CAUSED A LENGTHY DISPUTE
Country Divided Into Eight Zones
Under the Provisions Of
the Measure.

Washington, July 2O.-After a dis
pute of more than two months the
senate committee on postofices and
post roads reached an agreement on
the postofice appropriation bill and
the measures will be reported on Mon
Gay.
The parcels post provision, the prin-
cipal matter in dispute, was finally
threshed out by Senator Bourne, the
author of the original provision in the
bill, and Senator Bristow of Kansas,
former assistant postmaster general.
The result was a compromise.
Senators Bristow and Bourne, sit
ting as a subcommittee on the parcels
post, agreed on a modification of Sen
ator BOurne's plan. 1t retained Sem
ator Bourne's scheme for a division of
the country into zones within which
rates for the transmission of parcels
shall be the m Senator Bristow
believed that the Bourne plan would
place rates SO low that the project
would be found impracticable. To
meet his objections c'yht zones were
outlined, instead of six as originally
planned, and the rates proposed by
Senator Bourne were slig lilly in
creased. The maximum rate remains
at II cents, the rate of the postal
union.
Zones and Rates of Postage.
Senators Bourne and Bristow agreed
upon the parcels post zones as fol.
lows:
First zone, length fifty miles; rate
5 cents for the first pound, 3 cents for
each additional pound.
Second zone, length $50 miles; rate
6 and 4 cents.
Third zone, length 800 miles; rate 7
and 5 cents.
Fourth zone, length 600 miles; rate
s and 6 cents.
Fifth zone, length 1000 miles; rate
9 and I cents.
Sixth zone, length 1,4OO miles; rate,
10 and 9 cents.
Seventh zone, length 1900 miles;
rate, IL cents per pound straight.
Eighth zone, length, over 1900
miles; rate, ~ cents per pound
straight. Maximum packages, eleven
pounds.
AS completed by the senate commit
tee the bill carries about 1852, 900, 900,
or an increase of about $4,000 900 over
the house provisions.

Federal Judge AanfoTd Tenders
His Resignation.
COMMITTEE DROPS HEARING
Issues Statement Saying That Willis
Case Could Still Be Pressed OBJ
ject Has Been Accomplished.

Washington, July 23.-Chairmar
Henry D. Clayton of the house ju
dietary committee announced that he
considered unnecessary further i'm
parchment proceedings against FEEDER
al Judge Hartford of Washington, who
resigned. In a lengthy statement
Chairman Clayton declared that while
congress has the power to try a fed.
eral official for Impeachment even
after he has resigned he did not be.
lieve that course necessary in this
case.
Chairman Clayton instructed the
subcommittee. now in Seattle taking
testimony in the Hartford case, to dis,
continue it's work.
He received the following message
from Representative Graham, chair.
man of the subcommittee:
Judge Hartford has just forwarded
his resignation to the attorney gen
eral. We are not quite done taking
testimony, but nearly so. The sub
committee unanimously favors to dis
continue the taking of further testi-
mOny."
In his statement Chairman Clayton
cited the precedent of the case of
Secretary of War Belknap, who was
impeached and tried by the senate,
after his resignation had been accept
ed by President Grant. The articles of
Impeachment against Belknap failed
to receive the necessary two-thirds
vote in the senate. In conclusion Mr..
Clayton says:
Main Object Accomplished.
"The main object of impeachment
being to get rid of an unfaithful Of
ficer, having been accomplished in
this case by the resignation of Judge
Hanford, if it is true that he was IN
faithful, there seems to be no neces-
sity for impeachment in order to dis
qualify him from hereafter holding
any office of honor or profit under the
United States. l take it that no pres
1dent will ever appoint him and no
constituency would ever elect him to
any Office of honor or profit. Of course
there will be no formal action on the
part of the committee on the judiciary
until a report is made by the subcom-
mittee which l appointed to investi-
gate the alleged misconduct of Judge
Hanford."
Representative Berger, the Socialist
member from Wisconsin,, who intro
duced the resolution which began the
Impeachment inquiry of Hanford's con
duct, announced he would drop the
matter.
"1t closes the case so far as I am
concerned" he said. II take Judge
Hanford's resignation as an admission
of guilt. 1t cannot be construed other
wise"
Judge Hanford's resignation was re-
ceived at the White House as Presi-
dent Taft was starting for the golf
links. His telegram to the president
read as follows: 81 hereby resign my
office as United States federal judge.
Letter will confirm"
