CAN'T PREVENT SALE
OF STAMPS BY
SLOT MACHINES
Cent Profit to the Vendors Not Illegal,
Says Postofice Official, An
swering Complaints

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE postofiicc
department has no authority to discon-
tinue the sale of postage stamps through
slot machines maintained in hotel lob
bies, drug stores, news stands or other
places of business. This was the deci.
sion reached by the postmaster general
Saturday, after receiving complaints
against the sale of stamps in this man
ner.
The machines sell four one-cent or
two two-cent stamps for nickel, max
ing a profit to the merchant of one cent
on each transaction. Many indignant
citizens wrote to the postoffice depart
ment denouncing this as extortion.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Dockery said Saturday that while there
is a law prohibiting the sale of stamps
at more than their face value, it APP
plies only to postmasters and their en-
ployes, and the government has no juris-
diction over stamp vending machines To-
Gated elsewhere than on postoffice prem

Manchester, Nov. ls.-The Hampton

Three of the committee favored the
reimbursement of George p. Hampton
for money expended in his defense when
an attempt was made to expel him from
his subordinate grange by the national
grange and three of the committee were
opposed to reimbursement.
After a protracted debate, the matter

MOORE SOON TO GET OUT?
Assistant Secretary of State in Very
Hard Position Under Bryan.

Washington, Nov. lS.-Washington is
strongly inclined to believe the current
story that John Bassett Moore, coun-
sellor of the state department, will re-
sign his position not later than March
4. Mr.. Moore is expected to deny all
stories of this kind-for this is not the
first time the press has separated him
from the department but it is fact
that while the responsibilities of the de-
partment have been placed upon him, he
has not been given the confidence OF
Secretary Bryan. In fact, notwithstand-
ing the sensational developments in the
Mexican situation, the counsellor has
seen the secretary only four times in
the last six weeks. Every time Secre-
tary Bryan skips out of town upon a
lecturing tour, Mr.. Moore is charged
with his work. without any knowledge
of what has been done or what is con-
templated by the secretary. Friends of
Mr.. Moore have believed that he would
have retired long before now except that
it is regarded as bad form and an en-
barrassment to the administration for
any important official to resign under
a year.
