creating the Postal Savings System,
which is now in operation at practically
all sthe $500 presidential postoffices.
Preparations are being made for its ex-
ension to 10000 fourth-class postoffices.
1t is confidently anticipated that the
deposits at the close of the present
fiscal year will aggregate $50, 0OO, 900.
and that the income of the system will
be sufficient to pay all operating ex-
penses.
Under President Taft the Postoffice
Department has engaged in an aggres.
sive crusade against the fraudulent use
of the mails. Last year the inspectors
investigated many cases involving the
sale of worthless stock in imaginary
mining companies and other fictitious
concerns, There were altogether 500
indictments and 1874 convictions with
but twelve acquittals. The other cases
are pending. The convicted swindlers
had defrauded the people of many mil
lions of dollars. A great number of
similar concerns have gone out of buss-
ness owing to the rigid enforcement of
the law.
Sunday service by employees has
been reduced to d minimum, with little
objection from the patrons of the SER
vice.
REFORMS UNDER WAY.
Many other improvements have been
made in the postal service during Pres
ident Taft's term of Office, such as the
shipment of periodicals in Car loads by
fast freight, which has reduced the
cost of transportation and expedited the
handling Of first-clsss mail, and the
consolidation of the star route and rural
delivery services 30 that it has been pos.
sible to establish many new routes, and
to serve thousands of additional pat.
rons on existing routes, with little or
no increased cost. But the Taft pro-
gram of postal reform and progress is
not yet completed. The President is
urging Congress to adopt legislation for
the readjustment of postage rates on a
basis of cost. which will eventually
permit of one. cent rate on letter mail. |
A project also is under way for giving |
to village communities the same free |

Company's Schedules In
Harmony With Ruling,
Officials Say.

Unless the Interstate Commerce
Commission; on the return of q ma
jotity of its members to Washington.
insists upon Its first order effecting a
reduction in rates to Mt. Vernon over
the Washington Virginia Railway Com
pany lines, the rate made by the COM
pnny itself will stand.
The commission ordered a one-way
rate of 30 cents and a round trip rate
OF 10 cents to Mt. Vernon on local trains
and a one-way rate of 20 cents and a
round trip rate of so cents on through
trains run especially for tourists. The
railroad company did not follow these
specific orders, but promulgated a one
way rate of 35 cents and round trip
rate Of SO cents on all trains. The old
rates were 40 and 75 cents.
The new rates have been filed with the
commission and are now in force.
II was stated at the Washing ton-Vir-
der OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would have been an impossible
one, inasmuch as there was no prac-
tical way to bar local traffic from
through trains. Criticism, suits for
damages, and other trouble appeared
before the traffic officials and they de-
cided to meet the reduction order by a
fiat rate applying to all trains and all
classes of traffic.
The reduction in the Mt. Vernon rate
Is large and will make a considerable
difference to tourists. 1t will not cut
deeply into the revenues of the railway,
however. as II is stated that the Alex
andria Washington traffic is what
makes the road money. 1t has been
eliminated the road would go into the
hands of receiver, despite the popu-
lar impression that the Mt. Vernon

Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. IA peri.

section of Third and Los Angeles streets
yesterday afternoon.
Judge George II. Hutton was the Aris-

the philosophy of the material. pointing
out street corners, telegraph poles, bars,
lunch counters. telephones, and win
dows, which have figured In the testi-

The court was legally in session dur
ing the stroll through the streets: the
judge. the Jurors, the bailiff, the court
reporter, the defendant. and counsel
were In attendance. The defendant. Mr..
Darrow, was presumably present at all
stages OF the proceeding. As a matter

'judge pointed out to the jurors such
places and objects as 1t had been agreed

point out.

and other things may have transpired
during that rather carelessly arranged
excursion which escaped public notice,
but not the notice of the lawyers.
Court convened I'm the conventional
place and manner at 10 o'clock. and
Judge Hutton announced he was not
prepared to rule on the dictagraph ques-
tion and would withhold his decision
until Monday at 10 o'clock. He said
the time was propitious for the inspec-
ton Of the scene of the alleged bribery.
and that a recess OF fifteen minutes
would be taken and court would recon-
vene at Third and Wall streets.
That was the corner from which Sam
Browne watched the earlier parts Of the
alleged bribery occurrence. After a
thorough inspection of the location of
the scene of Franklins' bribery of Lock-
wood, judge and jury entered an auto
mobile and were taken back to the
courtroom and adjournment taken until
10 o'clock Monday morning.
