 New York, Aug. 21.-The mystery of the New England mails, which has con- tinued for three months with untold losses to hundreds of persons in New England who failed to get money and other things of value mailed to them, may have been solved, the postoffica authorities believe, as the result Of the springing of trap this afternoon in the central postoffice building.

 While being bombarded with hum dreds of complaints of non delivery of valuable mail addressed to New Eng flanders, postoffice inspectors here were at work setting traps individually for each of the forty clerks who handle New England mails.
 One by one the clerks were cleared of suspicion, and the investigators were nOnplussed, but in order to make a clean job of it the inspectors today decided to test Collins, the foreman. He has been in the postal service 27 years and was so trusted that at the begin ming of the inquiry he was above sus- picion
 A special delivery letter addressed tc Burlington, Vt, containing four mark ed bills, was mailed as a decoy today and a watch was set on Foreman Col lins. The inspectors found that the letter disappeared when it reached Col lins, and they declare that the marked money was found on his person.

TAFT SCORES ON THE
 HOUSE DEMOCRATS
Forces Compromise Regarding Con-
 tinuanee of Commerce Court.

Washington, Aug. 21.-For 8 third time the house today passed the legis- latiVe, executive and judicial bill over the veto of President Taft by vote of 154 to B, but in the senate the ef- fort to pass it failed, 34 to 37. As a result, the house amended the measure so as to provide continuing appro- prtation for the commerce court until March 4, 1913, and passed if. Tonight it lies with the senate appropriations committee, with good prospects that it will pass the senate tomorrow.
 This Is a chronological resume of the progress of the bill today. The so- lution of the deadlock between con- gross and the White house is believed to have been found, and as a result adjournment now looms appreciably nearer.
 There was a marked difference be- tween the passage of the bill in the house over the presidents veto and It's passage in amended form When 1t was found that the chief executive had been overruled by three to one vote, there was a tumuft of applause. When 1t was put through, after the failure of the senate to follow the houses lead there were fewer than thirty members III lhClA SedtSs lu6I6 was uO u6Ddlc dQu scarcely an audible vote. It reached the senate too late to be acted upon today.
 When the senate refused to overrule the president, Senators Crane and Shoot carried the news to the White house. MT. Taft expressed his delight at the failure of the democratic plans in the upper body. No intimation was given at the White house as to whetb- or the new compromise would be ac- 1 ceptable to the president, but senate and house leaders are confident that the measure will be signed. Many of the republicans contend that the ap- propriatton for the commerce court should be extended until June s0 the end of the fiscal year, but they are not fnsistent and 1t was the general belief of the majority leaders in the | house that the contention would not | be pressed.
