POSTAL SAVINGS RULING
UPH0LDS STATE RIGHTS
Controller Downey Picks
Flaws in Rules Govern
ing Service.

State rights is invoked by the con-
troller Of the Treasury. George f.
Downey, to invalidate regulations made
for the government of the postal saw
ings service. He rules that as states
have laws Of descent and for the dis
position Of property. the postal savings
regulations defining how payments of
accounts to the credit Of dead depos-
itor shall be made are of no avail. where
they are at variance with such state
laws, and serve no additional purpose
where the laws and regulations may be
in accord.
The trustees of the postal savings
service, with the aid of a former At
torney General. adopted regulations
to govern accounts to the credit of
dead depositors. The regulations pro-
,vided that depositor could name a
beneficiary to whom after payment of
funeral expenses the balance on
credit could be paid. Failing such
denominated beneficiary. the executor
of the estate, II designated by will,
balance. The depositor dying in
testate. the regulations undertook to
indicate the heir to the credit by set
ting forth the descent and relationship
of the beneficiary to the deceased.
Faults Pointed Out.
Controller Downey pointed out many
faults in the regulations. The provision
for payment of funeral expenses he re-
garded as contravening the statutes of
many states. The rights extended to
the beneficiary. he also indicates, would
defeat the just claims of creditors.
The trustees of the postal savings
service, he rules. cannot make such
regulations when they conflict with
state laws. The state, he declares, has
ample right and does regulate descents
and methodists by which property shall be
disposed of, otherwise than as pro-
vided in various statutes Of descents.
The deposit, he indicates. belongs alb
solutely to the depositor during his
lifetime. The government has no
right to dispose of his property after
his death. contrary to what might be
his intent and desire.

REDUCTION Of DUTIES
IN TARIFF BILL ITEMS
Majority of Senate Finance
Committee Also Adds
to Free List.

Large reduction in the duty on metals
as written In the Underwood tariff biz
were made by the democratic members
of the Senate finance committee today.
The majority members OF the commit
tee put on the free list ferro- manga
nese. pig-iron blooms. slabs. ingots and
billets. They reduced the duties cor
respondingly on basic products. which
means structural steel, including beams
and Joists and other structural forms.
The majority members OF the COM
mittee also completed consideration Of
the paper schedule.
1t was decided to adopt the provisions
OF the reciprocity act with Canada re-
lating TO print paper, but to reduce the
value of the paper which should be free
listed from cents to pa cents the val
uation In the Underwood bill All the
restrictions provided for in the reciproc-
ity act will go into the bill. The COM
mittee still has under consideration wood
pulp.
Predict Safe Majority.
The administration leaders were in .
jubilant mood today over the prospects
for the bill They unhesitatingly asserted
that the party was ready for harmonious
action and predicted that clear demo-
cratic majority for the measure as It
comes from the caucus will not be en-
dangered.
Admitting that the situation In the
Senate was anything but satisfactory
when the bill passed the House, the lead
ers now contend that prolonged prelim-
mary consideration OF the measure has
brought about IAN ironing out of the
rough places In the party alignment and
that every development has been i'm favor
of the administration policies.
Measure to Be fastened.
The democratic majority today resumed
consideration of the subcommittee re-
ports, and Senator Simmons, the chair
! man, asserted that he intended to push
| the bill as rapidly as possible.
There Is evidence everywhere that the
country wants quick action on this tarif
measure said Senator Simmons. Il
have realized 1t from the beginning. but
| 1t has been impossible to move faster and
wisely up to this time. Now there Is
nothing to prevent rapid progress and the
| bill will be pushed. 1t has been received
by the country with less apprehension
| than We had expected. 1t Is fact that
fewer protests have been made than to
, any tariff bill with which / ever had
anything to do

MAYOR HAUSSLING WILL
ASK FOR CRUISERS SILVER
Wants to Exhibit Plate from
Old Vessel.

The navy department will be re-
qoested to loan the set Of silver that
was presented 10 the U. S. cruiser
Newark. TO the Newark Free Public
Library. to be placed on exhibition
here. This was decided upon at a
meeting of the library trustees last
night. Mayor Jacob Haussling, presi-
dent of the board, who made the sug-
gestion, viii Immediately forward the
application to Washington, d c.
Twenty-Five years ago the silver set
was presented to the warship when It
was one of the best fighting ships in
existence, costing s1.2s4.0o0 to build.
Since then the style Of naval archi-
lecture has so changed that the war
ship will be sold to the highest bidder
and a new Newark constructed. The
local authorities would place the sill
yer set on exhibition at the Newark
library until the new ship is complet-
ed. 1t is thought that the navy de-
partment will readily accede to the
request.

men were appointed to the force to
serve on probation for a period of
three months.
Hackett, who has been before the
board on charges several times with
in less than the two years he has been
in the service. entered a plea of
guilty to the charge of failing to re-
port on Memorial Day. The following
morning he reported i'll. and Police
Surgeon Mitchell was notified. He
called at Hackett's home and found
the officer reading a newspaper. The
policeman expressed surprise that a
physician should call to see him and
asked the question, do | look sick?"
The only excuse offered for his ac-
tons was that he had had family
troubles. In view of several conyic-
tons for minor infractions of the
rules, he was, dropped from the force.

SENT WOMEN TO
WORK, NOT FL|RT
Senator Helen Robinson, of Col
orado, Answers a Tren-
ton Legislator.

"A man who represents part of your
State in the Legislature said to a
woman opposed to equal suffrage:
Why did you send SO many old
women to Trenton to oppose the suf-
frage bill? Why didn't you send the
young, pretty ones, dressed in their
best clothes? said Senator Helen
Ring Robinson, of Colorado, at a
meeting at the Ridge Street School,
under the auspices of the Newark
Equal Suffrage League.
THAT simply meant that the women
of New Jersey should look their pref
test, go down to Trenton and f1irt
with the Legislators. We've read of
that kind of sweet influence in kings
imistresses. In fact, We can go to
sacred literature for a similar in
stance. There we find the story of a
woman. somewhat advanced in years,
who desired the head of a certain
man, not on his shoulders. but off.
She was little doubtful of her own
ability to bring about the desired re-
suit, so she sent Aer young daughter,
dressed chiefly in Silent influence, and
she came back with the head She
couldn't have gotten 1t. though, If the

Silver phizzes, pouse cafes. high
balls of any sort. cocktails or even
just plain handle of suds" may be
had in condensed form today in
Maine. The Webb law in trying to
keep liquor out of the Pine Tree State
Is up against a pretty stiff PROPOSE
ton. The thirsty ones seem to be a
shrewd and crafty lot. Whiskey
tablets and beer lozenges are foiling
the lynx eyed Maine sheriffs.
1t is an easy matter to locate a
barrel of beer or even a jug of
whiskey. However, it is quite diff
cult to find a cocktail tablet-add
boiling water and serve-and most
anyone walking down the street may
have on his person enough condensed
booze to supply a banquet, but the
sheriff wouldn't know it. So the
tabloid rum drummers are doing a
brisk business in Maine. Lots of
those who are dependent on strong
drink for the maintenance of their
health and spirits have put in a good
supply of the waters and are con-
Quoting private distilleries in their
own homes. Just what Is in the
tablets doesn't seem to worry any
one much, as long as the solution
when produced tastes somethingt
and looks a little-like rum. The
chances are that the constituent ele-
ments of the tablets are no more
harmful than that which they are
supposed to replace.
The tablets are sold in little paper
boxes and their prices vary. A gal
Ion of imitation booze could be made
at the expense of SO cents. More
expensive tablets will make a better
whiskey. A very fair cocktail can
be gotten together for 20 cents a
