FEATURES Of POST.
OFFICE BILL FACE
GREAT OPPOSITION
Parcels Post to Have Easy
Sailing and Early Vote
Is Likely.

With stiff fights certain on a half dog
en- different legislative features, the post
office appropriation bill Is nearing a
vote in the House. The measure con-
taIns, perhaps, more legislation than
was ever before carried In an appro-
priation budget, and the House has
adopted a special rule. making such
legislation 'in order" that there may
be a vote on parcels post and other in
novations in the postal service.
1t is hoped to conclude the debate on
the bill by the end of the current week.
A roll call vote probably will be de-
manded on the legislative clauses Of the
bill, which. except for the special rule.
would have been subject to points of
order.
The following important legislative
'riders" are carried in the bill:
Provision for the establishment of a
parcel post. and in addition an expert
mental parcels post on strictly rural
routes.
The creation of a commission to make
two years study Of the advisability
of an unlimited parcels post. with UNI
form rates or zone" system rates.
The removal Of the gag" from the
mouths of postal clerks. thereby re-
voking the Executive order which for
bids them to petition Congress for re-
dress OF grievances or to affiliate with
labor unions.
The Shackelford good roads bill This
rider" provides a unique scheme for
Federal aid to good roads by requiring
the Federal Government to pay a gradu-
ated toll for the use of all State and
county highways over which the rural
mails are carried.
The Cooke bill another important
rider" which provides for the con-
demnation Of the express companies by
the Government and the establishment,
under the Postoffice Department. Of an
fhe Barnhart amendment, requiring
all newspapers to print conspicuously
each day the names of the owners,
stockholders, and directors Of the pub
lication.
A provision which requires that after
July l, 1917, none except steel cars shall
be used In the railway mail service.
It Is expected that parcels post will
have comparatively plain sailing In
the House. considering. the fact that
there mas been more or less agitation In
it's favor for years. Other Legislative
features of the postoffice bill will be
hard fought The special rule provides
merely for their consideration. and the
adoption Of the rule does not forecast
the final approval of some OF the radical
propositions contained in the appro'
rriutiOn measure.

Allan Liner Helps
Morgue Boat in
Handling of Bodies

ST. JOHN. New Brunswick, April
29.-Gruesome aid to the Mackay-
Bennett, bound for Halifax with the
death cargo of the Titanic disaster
was given by the Allan liner Sardin-
ian, docked at St. Johns, according
TO her captain. The Sardinian receiV-
ed a wireless message from the Mack
ey-Bennett at 4:10 a. m, April %.
She was then near the scene Of the
Titanics death struggle. The mes
sage read:
Recovering bodies of the Titanic,
could you, in passing, let US have
all the canvas, and burlap that
you can spare?"
At 7 o'clock the Sandman hailed
the Mackay-Bennett and sent aboard q
boat load Of canvass and burlap to
wrap the ice packed bodies that
crowded the cable ship. Captain Nc
Killop of the Sandman said the Mack
then 2o6 bodies aboard.
We saw lot of wreckage In that
neighborhood," said the captain, such
as cabinet furniture, chairs, desks,
passed close to two bodies but did not
try to recover them as the Mackay-
Bennett was close by. One was appar-
entity that of a woman wearing seal
other was. There was one on either
side of us, thirty or forty yards away.
The Sandman, passing through the ice
field also spoke the Nina bound to re-
lieve the Mackay- Bennett on her quest.

Hundreds Enjoy Watching
Men At Work on Statue
to Columbus.

Throngs Of people at all hours of the
day, and up until IL o'clock at night
find a peculiar fascination in watching
the stonecutters and sculptors at work
on the big Columbus memorial on the
Union Station plaza.
And It Is not often either that people
get to see as fine work as Is being
done by the large force OF men. In
fact, some of the work is so delicate the
slightest slip of chisel would ruin a
piece OF marble, and possibly delay the
unveiling of the monument. The cutters
are experts, real artists, and to lovers
Of such art their work Is fully appre-
ciated.
An idea of the delicate work being
done by the stonecutters may be OBJ
tained by looking at the huge ball rep
resenting the world. In every respect
II comes up to geographical require
ments as to shape.
At the present time there are about
forty cutters and sculptors at work on
the memorial. They are working night
and day in order to have everything in
readiness for the unveiling on June s.

A Great Aid in the Dairy

Professor Deans first advice to
dairymen is-"Clean the pals. cans
and separators thoroughly, at least
once or twice a day"
Soap and water remove surface dirt
but they do not thoroughly remove
all the little germs which sour and
taint the milk. The greatest of all
cleansers is Gold Dust washing pow
der. 1t not only removes all the
visible dirt and grease, but goes deep
after every trace of impurity, and
leaves the milk pals. cans and bot
ties really clean, wholesome and safe.
Moreover, 1t does the work more
quickly and easily than any other
cleanser known.

MORGUE SHIP IS
DELAYED, DUE AT
HALIFAX TOMORROW
White Star Line Takes Ex-
ira Precautions to Pre-
vent Panic.

HALIFAX, N. s., April 29.-The Mack
ey-Bennett, with the Titanic victims on
board, may not reach here until 0
o'clock Tuesday morning. Captain Lard
ner today sent a wireless dispatch to
the White Star agent here announcing
that he is being delayed by bad weather.
A black-bordered, printed announce
ment was issued by the Whdite Star
line bearing grim Instructions outlining
the red tape. that would be necessary to
identify bodies
A black-clad, tremulous, forengn- LOOKING
girl of little more than twenty, with the
gruesome bulletin In her hand, pleaded
anxiously with the White Star officers
for information as to when the Mackay-
Bennett would dock. The eternal aues-
ton in Halifax today was, when will
she be in2''
The black-clad girl was a Titanic sur
vivor, the maid of Sonora Victor PEN
asco. Sonora Penasco was lying pros
trated with grief at the Plaza Hotel,
in New York. and the little maid,
had come to Halifax to search among
the unidentified bodies for that of Senior
Penasco, brother-in-law Of Premier Ca
nalejas, Of Spain, who was left on tho
sinking Titanic.
Hundred Coffns.
Captain Lardner had but 100 coffns
aboard the vessel, and ne was carrying
the remainder Of his death cargo packed
in Ice and wrapped in burlap and can
vas. These bodies as soon as they
reach the dock the authorities planned
to place in coffins. They were then to
be hurried into the city, the identified
dead to a local undertaken and the un-
identified dead to a local skating rink,
temporarily transformed into q morgue.
There they were to be embalmed, placed
in caskets, and exposed to view
Here is where the authorities feared
scenes of horror when grief-stricken
relatives lifted the linen wells that hid

bodies had been identified obviated to

contemplated

Then, again, but few of the anxious
watchers were close relatives Of the
dead they came to seek. Many of them
were lawyers or undertakers authorize ed
to take charge by stricken men and
women too wrought up with grief to
take up personally the gruesome task.
1t was expected that the efforts of the
White Star line and the authorities to
prevent the relatives and friends from
crowding to the dock would be suc-
wait until the bodies had been pre-
pared for view at the undertaking rooms
and the morgue, hoping in this way to
prevent the scenes of horror expected
at the dock IL the watchers entered the
pier.
