By EDWARD B. CLARK.

With the coming of the New Year
the United States government will en-.
ter into a new field of enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise BY
what is known as the parcel post
For years there has been q demand
Tor such q system of inexpensive
transmittal of packages. The camps
pf favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
of congress bill was passed which
viii put the plan into operation, but
only it must be said in little moro
than an experimental way.
It is the intention of Uncle Sam to
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to flnd how popui
lar 1t will be, how much it will cost
the government, and whether there Id
TO be. a profit or loss at the end Of
each year. II 1t is found that tho
plan is successful from the point OF
view of the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will!
be extended until finally it reachea
the proportions which its proponents
say they believe 1t Is destined to a.
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
It 10 no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands Of inquiry
los have been made Of the postmasteH
general as to Just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. 1t waa
the law of congress establishing the
system which made provision for Z
division Of the country into zones
and into $4,000 units which are to Big
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clean
understanding, apparently, Of this
some system, but really 1t 10 q very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from tho
unit In which Washington is sit
uated, ~ the center. Accompanying
the map Is q table showing the rate
Of postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all thu
zones.
Each unit contains an area thirty
miles square, Now each unit Is z
center from which the zones ara
drawn and so every unit in the coun1
try no matter where 1t is situated will
have zones drawn from it just exactly
az Washington has them drawn from
It. For instance, take Keokuk, la
which is In a unit in the fifth zone,
From that will be drawn circles ex,
actly as they are drawn from WASN'T
ington and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, just as they
are numbered from Washington al
number one. OF course, however,
Zone Six will have different geo
graphical position as related to Keo1
kuk than 1t has as related to WASH
ington, but as the radius Of the circle1
drawn from Keokuk Is the same
length as the radius Of the circlea
drawn from Washington, Keokuk'a
Zone Six will be just as far from itt
center as Washington's Zone Six 10.
How Rates Ars Fixed.
It can be seen from this readily
enough that the postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone will,
he the same as the postal rates from
Keokuk to It's particular zones. Each
unit being about thirty miles square

 Bought Protection For Over Five Years
HIS SUCCESSOR CORROBoRATEs TESTIMONY
Latter Has Paid Only $50 Month During the Present Year. He Asserts Hotel Bought by the "Vice Trust" For $14O,OOO-Policeman Involved Suspended and Higher Officials Summoned to the Police Headquarters.

New York. Dec. lS.-A story of how graft alleged to have been paid for po- lice protection enabled a Ranes law hotel proprietor in upper Harlem to build up such a business that he final ly disposed of his unpretentious place for Sli0,000, was told to the aldermaN- ic Investigating committee today.
 Graft Collector Suspended
 George A. Sipp for ten years keeper of the re sort, gave the testimony and as a result of his revelations a police inspector. two ex-inspectors and a number If minor officers were sum- moned tc police headquarters by Com missioner Waldo. 4 patrolman nam ed as d graft collector was suspended forthwith.
 Paid stoO Month for Five Years.
 Mention ing names and dates, Sipp testified that once a month from 1905 to 1910 he paid to police officers, in cludins Eugene Fox, a policeman, $100 in cash for the purpose. he under stood, of buying police protection so that there would be no interference in running his hotel. Fox was described as alleSed so-between for certain high police q lmcers.
 Testimony Corroborated.
 Corr0borGti0n of portions of Sipp's story Was given by Thomas Dorian, assistant manager of the same hotel after Stpp sold it for s14O,00O to alleg- ed menl0ers of the vice trust in con trol of a chain of disorderly resorts and their inmates. Dorian testified that he. too. paid money to Fox, mak ing $lbO a month tribute up to and in- cludinE December, 1911, and since then $50 month. including a payment of that amount the present month. All these payments were made to Fox, Do- rian testified.

CORPORATION DEPOSITS
 IN THE MORGAN BANKS ]. Pierpont Morgan Comedies That They Total $e,765,o 5,ooo, 900.

Washington, Dec 1S.-J. Pierpont Morgan occupied the center of the stage today before the so-called money trust Investigating committee of the house. of representatives. Mr. Morgan's testimony lasted barely twen- ty minutes and was largely prelimin- ary to the testimony to be given to- morrow.
 The chief point made in today's ex- animation of MT. Morgan was that he favored allowing interstate cor porations to deposit their funds in the hands of private bankers without re- stricting them to institutions under government supervision. He said this was a matter to be left to the dis cretion of the boards of directors of the corporations in question. MT. Un- termyer asked lengthy questions de- veloping this idea, to which the finan- cier replied briefly in the affirmative as to allowing the interstate corpor- ations to so deposit their funds with private banking institutions. MT. Morgan confirmed data prepared by members of the Morgan house show ing that sixty accounts with the Nor gan firm in January last had deposits of $68, 8,113,000 and that 78 accounts on November l had deposits of $S1,96S,- 900. The total capital, surplus and funded debt of the depositors, Mr. Un- termyer stated. was s9,7S5, 1000. 900. MT Morgan agreed to this.
 MT. Morgan will resume the stand tomorrow. At the conclusion of his testimony today he had a talk with Chairman Pujo and other members o1 the committee and expressed the de- sire to have his hearing proceed as rapidly as possible He said he was anxious to conclude as he wished tc
 carry out plans for leaving on a trir within a short time.
