Parcel Post Profitable.

1t has become known the profits to the
Government from the operation of the new
parcel post system during the calendar
year 1918 would be about $30,000,000.
The new system became effective on Janu-
airy last 1t was estimated that the pro-
fits for the first year would be about $751;
100000, but the actual figures now in
possession of postal officials convince them
that the profit will be $30,000,000 for the
first year.
The whole question of railway mail pay
that is, compensation to the railroads for
carrying the mails-is likely to be read
justed next year. Immediately after the
meeting of Congress in regular session in
December bill will be introduced provid-
ing for this readjustment. The measure
is now being drafted.
The bill now being prepared will pro-
pose new method of fixing the basis of
payment, 1t will propose a radical change
in the whole system Of railway mail pay
and readjustment that is expected to be
fairer both to the Government and the
railroads. The new railway pay bill also
will take into consideration the paying of
the railroads for carrying the parcel post
matter, and will seek to meet the COM
plants that have been filed by different
roads, several of which were willing to
throw up their railway mail contracts
rather than carry the parcel post without
additional pay.

said districts for securing by purchase or
condemnation the toll pixies in said districts
belonging to the Union Turnpike Compeny

improved, by removing toll gates therefrom,
changing said turnpikes into free roads,
indicating desire for a special tax to be

Whereas, The Board of County Commits
sioners are satisfied that there is a strong
public sentiment for abolishing these turn

located for closely connecting this county
with Howard county and Baltimore city
that said turnpikes are extensively used
and should become part of the county

sitting as a Court of Equity. No. 29S5.
THE OBJECT of this suit is to obtain
a divorce vinculo matrimonii by the
plaintiff, Grace Esther Miller, from the de-
PENDANT Albert f. Miller.
The Bill states that the plaintiff is a
citizen of the United States and resident
of Montgomery county. State of Maryland,
and has been such during her whole life
that the defendant is nonresident of the
State of Maryland, and is at this time a
resident of the city of Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia; that the plaintiff was
married to the defendant in Loudoun coun-
ty, Virginia, on the 30th day of August,
1910. by the Rev. H. NJ Moffett. a duly
ordained minister of the Gospel that after
said marriage the plaintiff and defendant
lived together as man and wife in Mont
gomery county, Maryland, until the latter
part of the month of September, 1910,
when the defendant deserted and aban-
dOned the plaintiff and refused to support
her. and said desertion and abandonment
is final between the said parties and be-
yOnd any reasonable hope of reconciha-
ton that during the time the plaintiff
and the defendant lived together as man
and wife, she treated him with kindness
and affection, being always considerable
of his every want and need that the
defendant deserted and abandoned the
plaintiff without just cause whatever,
and that the said desertion and abOn-
donment has been continuous and I'M
interrupted since the month of Septem-
Der, 1910, and they have not lived together
as husband and wife since that time that
there are no children born of said marriage.
The bill prays that the plaintiff may be
divorced a vinculO matrimonii from the
defendant, Albert f. Miller, for reasonable
counsel fee and for general relief.
II is thereupOn this 25th day of October,
A. d. 1913, by the Circuit Court for Mont
eomery county, Maryland, as Court of
Equity, and by the authority thereof, adj
Judged and ordered that the plaintiff, by
publishing copy of this order in some
newspaper published in said MONTGOMERY
county. once in each of four successive
weeks before the 29th day of November
next, give notice to the said nonresident
defendant. Albert f. Miller, of the object
and substance of this bill, warning him to
appear in this Court either in person, or
by solicitor, on or before the 10th day of
December next. to answer the bill and
abide by and perform such decree as may

Mr.. Lee To Face Contest.

At conference of Republican United
States Senators held on Monday afternoon
last the decision was reached to contest in
the Senate the writ of election issued by
Gov. Goldsborough under which Blair Lee
was named for the United States Senate.
The conference was participated in by
half dozen leading members of the mi
nority. They concluded that sufficient
ground was given for Directing to the
seating of Mr.. Lee and agreed to make a
fight against his being seated when his
credentials are presented.
The fact that the Maryland legislature
failed to authorize the Governor to call the
election will be urged as the ground for
Withholding admission to Mr.. Lee. They
will not undertake to impeach the manner
in which the election was held or safe
guards which were thrown about it.
When the rumors of such action were
first circulated they were not taken seri-
ously, and it is not now believed by the
Democratic leaders that the effort of the
Republicans to declare the Lee election
invalid will be successful.
But that the fight will be made seems
certain. The Senators at the conference
were, with one exception, lawyers, and they
maintained, after considering all the cir
cumstances under which the writ was
issued and the various phases of the Sew
enteenth Amendment, that the Maryland
Governor had no right to call an election
until the legislature of the State had first
authorized it.
1t is admitted by the Republicans that
they have only the merest technically
upon which to fight the seating of Mr.. Lee

No Pay For Jackson.

The election of Blair Lee to succeed
Senator Vim. p. Jackson has raised some
interesting questions which the United
States Senate will have to rule upon be-
fore the Montgomery countian takes his
seat.
To keep the accounts of the upper house
of Congress straight il will be necessary,
for instance, to determine officially when
the term of the new Senator begins. This
point was raised last Friday when the dis
bursting officer examined the statutes and
found that apparently the pay of Senator
Lee began on Tuesday, or the day of his
election.
That being true, Senator Jackson is now
serving without pay and will continue to
do so until he relinqushes his seat to his
successor. The law on this point seems
clear, and the disbursine officer will not
move in the matter until the Senate has
instructed him. He has sent notice to
Senator Jackson's secretary and clerk in
forming them that doubt existed as to
his right to continue them on the payroll
and that until some ruling was made by
the Senate no further pay checks would be
issued to them.
Under ordinary circumstances the new
Senator would present his credentials at
once, be sworn in, and take his seat But
the fact that Senator Lee does not expect
to take his seat for two more months
leaves the situation somewhat in suspense
He has indicated no purpose to ask for
admission to the Senate until after the
first Of the year.
II was clearly understood months ago,
when the matter was informally thrashed
out by the Senate Privileges and Elections
Committee, that the Marylander would not
present his credentials until that time
Senator Kern. of Indiana. chairman of
the Privileges and Elections Committee,
said "the easiest way to avoid any contro-
versy in this matter would be for Mr.. Lee
to wait until the end of the year. as there
was some understanding weeks ago that
he would do this"
II was learned that Republican friends
Of Senator jackson will make trouble il
any attempt is made to Dust him at this
time. They may even 60 to the extent Of
attacking the validity of the Senatorial
election in Maryland
1t is not anticipated, however. by SEN
ator Lees friends that any reason for such
an attack will be given. The Senator
elect is not disposed to precipitate diff
ficulty Of that sort and will not do so I'M
less his vote is needed in the Senate by
the majority.
There is no likelihood now that currency
legislation will come to vote in the SEN
ate until after the Christmas holidays and
that is the only bill for which the Admin
istration would have any pressing need
for the Lee vote.
