DEFECT
DISCOVERED BY
SECT. BURLESON
FALSE ECONOMY in SYSTEM
Affairs Under Hitchcock Not
Satisfactory

Washington, D. c., June Post
master General Burleson today made
public the report of special investi-
CATION into fiscal affairs of the postal
service, charging that dring Former
Postmaster General Hitchcock's adj
ministration the service did not be-
come self-supporting, as was often as
serted, but that in 1911 there was ac-
tually a deficit of more than $750,00O,
The report charges that IAN appa--
ent surplus was obtained by unjusti-
fable methods of bookkeeping, and
that the efficiency and morale of the
postal service were sacrificed to a
ruthlessly enforced policy of false
economy" that showing of self
maintenance might be made. The re-
port attributes to that alleged change
complaints against the service.
Mr.. Hitchcock, during his admins
tration and in his reports claimed that
in the year 1909, deficit of approx
mateIy $17,5OO,OOO had entirely been
eliminated, and that in the fiscal year
1911 a surplus of more than 100000
was attained.
Surplus at No Time.
The report of the survey at the di-
rection of Mr.. Burleson, says that a.
no time has there been legitimate
surplus in postal revenues since 1883,
and that the postofhce department un-
der Mr.. Hitchcocks administration in
1911 actually was under deficit Q.
more than $750,O0O.

Sir william Hamilton was an au,

that assertion. He wrote to Wedg-
wood about that much admired work

acquired by Byres, the antiquary. ana
then by Sir william Hamilton. who
brought 1t to England In the year 1874.
He. In turn. sold it to the Duchess OF
Portland. Her descendant, the fourth
duke. deposited it in the British mu-
scum. owing to which fact it is best
known to Englshmen as the Portland
vase. 1t was lent by the duke to
Wedgwood to make his copy from.
The body Of It had been much disput-
ed. but he found that 1t was glass. He
was not a glassblower, but had in
vented his wonderful jasperware by
that time and decided his copy should
be made OF that substance. 1t was a
tremendous task and took some three
years in the modelling by lakewood
and others. The cost was never re-
couped by the subscriptions.
1t is justly esteemed to have been
