Considerable space is given to the
discussion of the periodical mail nv
last freight. Mr.. Stewart says this
method of transportation has been
generally satisfactory to publishers, as
In most cases it has been practical to
overcome the slower movement in the
freight trains by advancing the date
of delivery to the postoffice at the
point OF origin. Some publishers,
however. objected to the fast freight
service because of the news character
OF the contents OF their publications.
In such instances, it has been the
policy of the department, after ade-
quate showing has been made, TO
transport the mail in regular mail
trains. Consideration is being given
to the question of additional compen-
sation for the transportation of the
mails and a report will be made to
congress by the commission appointed
to conduct the inquiry before March
4, 1914
Such experiments as heretofore
have been made in the carving of
mail by aeroplanes have been con-
Quoted without expense to the govern
ment, although the mails thus trans
ported were entrusted only to sworn
carriers. The satisfactory perform
ance OF the service has induced u
recommendation by Mr.. Stewart for
an appropriation of $4,000 for a
regular experimental aeroplane service.

in the police department..
The leaders of the Colombian

POSTOFFICE BILLS
WILL BE REDUCED

Washington, Dec. 21.-The report of
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Stewart, made public tonight, dis
closed the fact that the postoffice de-
partment expects to reduce the in
creased expenditures for railway car
service by establishing railway ter
mlnal postoffices and requiring a sep
aration by route of first and second
class mails of publishers.
Last year. says the report, a large
amount of additional car space was
required on mail trains because of the
establishment of the parcel post sys-
tenn. That the extension of the
service necessitated a considerable in
crease in the annual expenditure fos
car rental is shown in the statement
that from January 1 to November %.
1918, there was a net increase of
Sfol,o12.69. Mr.. Stewart expects,
however, to reduce these expenditures
by instituting the proposed change
Ihe report shows that the cost of
operating rail, ocean, river, lake, street
car. screen wagons, pneumatic tubes
and mail messenger service for the
year ended June 80 last, was sS6,-

for the fiscal year approximately s1O.-
