ALLEGED DEFICIT
Under Hitchcock as Postmas-
fer General and Makes
Ugly Accusations.

WASHINGTON, DE C., May -
Postmaster General Burleson today
made public the report OF special
investigation into the fiscal affairs
of the postal service charging thas
during Postmaster General Hitch
cocks administration the service did
not become self-supporting as was
often asserted but that in 91l
there actually was a deficit of more
than ,s75O,OOO. The report charges
that .an. apparent surplus was son-
tanned by unjustifable methods OF
bookkeeping, and that the efficiency
and morale, of the postal service
we're sacrificed to ''fruitlessly en-
forced policy of economy" that a
showing of self-maintenance might
be made. The report attributes to
that alleged condition complaints
against the service.
Mr.. Hitchcock during his admin
istration and in his report claims
that in 1909 a deficiency of approx
imately SIT 100000 had entirely
been eliminated and that in the rs
cal year 1911 a surplus of more
than $500, 900 was attained.
Just before President Wilson took
Office the report says, Mr. Hitchcock
filed long standing vacancies made
postponed promotions and assumed
to fix charges for long terms in SUCH
a way las to saddle the new admin
istration with the greatly increased
expense during months If not years
to come"
The fiscal statement of the postal
Iservice for 1912 purported to show
deficit of 81, 1888 but that sum
the investigators say was under
stated. by nearly 100000.
Delays of promotion and filing o.
vacancies that lapsed salaries might

WINDOW CRASHES
HURT THE GA USE
Thousands of Protests against
British Militancy Go
Across the Seas.


LONDON, May 9 1.-The crash o.
broken windows in London has been
heard across the Atlantic with DIS
astrous results read an appeal Tor
worldwide constitutional agita-
ton" for woman suffrage. issued by
the National Union of Womenfs Suf-
frage Societies. The appeal sets
forth that many letters of protest
against the strenuous militancy OF
the. English slsterhood have poured
into headquarters from across the
seas.
"The actions of the militants are
hurting the cause all over the
world" is the burden of these pro-
tests. according to the appeal Most
of the protests come from America
and the Dmoinion OF canada-from
countries and states where women
have already won by patience and
tact or where there is now vigor-
Gus campaign along peaceable lines
under way. Says the appeal:
Letter from officials of suffrage
societies from America and our
overseas tDOIHlHlOnS SOiSN amy
the National Union expressing the
strong belief not only OF the harm
which rnfIitancy is doing the cause
in England, but also of its disastrous
enects abroad. Those women espe-
cially who have already won the
vote in the colonies express them
selves strongly on this question.
They won their victory by tact and
patience and by stern refusal to
put themselves in the wrong, how
ever great the provocation.
I'm respect of methods, with the
exception of China. where the move
ment has been accompanied in one
or two instances by acts OF militancy
from Chinese female soldiers, the
militant movement in Great Britain
stands isolated; yet it was inevita-
Bile, as the New York press affirms'
that the cause in America should
suffer from the outrages perpe-
trated in the name of woman SUIT
frage by British suffragets. The
crash of broken windows in London
has been heard across the Atlantic
with disastrous results.
