BONES OF COLUMBUS
MAY BE IN PAGEANT
Move Started to Have Them Carried
Through Canal to Panama~Pa-
cific Exposition.
BY International News Service.

NEWS SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Dec. GA plan to
remove the bones of Christopher Co.
lumbus from their resting place in Ssnto
Domingo for transportation through
the Panama canal TO San Francisco in
received senatorial backing today. The
idea of those behind the scheme is to
place the remains of the discoverer of
America on the battleship leading the
pageant to pass through the Panama
project when il shall be open to traf-
fic.
tsI see no improperly in such an
undertaking., said Senator Ashurst,
chairman Of the senate committee on in,
dustrisl expositioDs- 81 believe that
any official action ought to be taken
through a. senate resolution inviting
the republic of Santo Domingo 10 take
part in the naval parade. This would
place the Columbus remains IN the
hands of the managers of the pa
geant.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, Is OF the opln-
ion that steps should be taken as q
private enterprise by the. directors OF
the San Francisco exposition:
HBut,'' he said, ''.f the directors of
the exposition should make request for
the loan of the bones Of Columbus to
be carried through the canal in the in
tcrnational parade, and Il Santo Domin-
go should signify any willingness TO
acauiesce in the plan, request could
be made on the department OF state to
invite Santo Domingo to make the
loan. This would be all the action on
the part Of the government, probably,
which it would be necessary to take. -

Efficiency the Test.

'TMr. Wilson himself. In his speeches
and papers has questioped the ability OF
large corporations to do business eff
cieptly and has rather intiuated that ef-
liciepcy was the test,
"Here we have most striking example
OF improved efficiency and reduced cost
and yet the government proposes TO step
In and disrupt this cooperative arrange
ment
"As far as restraint OF trade is con-
ccrned in this arrangement. every busl-
ness man knows that trade has been eX-
panded, has been duhckencd, has been
greatly helped by the cheap rates and
efficient service Of the night letter
alone"
How about the independent compan-
ies?"
MY understa nding is that independent
companies may secure connection with
the Bell by supplying connections between
It's exchanges and the nearest exchange
Of the Bell company: that when this con-
nection is made the employees OF the Bell
system VIII operate the entire toll circuit.
''In other words, the independent COM
petitor must submit It's operations to the
employees OF the Bell system, that the
Iates charged will he the regular toll
charge Of the Bell company, and In ad-
dition thereto a connecting charge OF 10
cents for every message.

MAILS WILL BE
SEPARATED At
THE TERMINALS
Second Assistant Postmaster
General Stewart Proposes
to Reduce Expenditures
for Car Service.
PERIODICAL MAIL
BY FAST FREIGHT
Experiments With Aeroplane
Have Induced Officials of
Postoffice Department to
Ask Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-The report
of Second Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al 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 termi
nal postoffices and requiring separa-
tion, by routes of first and second
class mails of publishers.
Last year, says the report, large
amount of additional car space was re-
quired on mail trains because of the
establishment of the parcel post sys-
TEN. That the extension of tho service
pcccssitated considerable increase IN
the annual expenditure for car rental is
shown in the statement that from Jan
uary l to November 90, 1918, there was
net increase of $451 ,072.69. Mr..
Stewart expects, however, to reduce
these expenditures by instituting the
proposed changes.
Cost of Carrying Mail.
The report shows that the cost Of
operating rail, ocean, river, lake, street
car, screen wagon, pneumatic tube and
mail messenger service for the year
ended June 80 last was SS6, 6,l02, ,237 .54.
The sum will be increased for the cur
rent fiscal year approximately
100000.
The number or all classes OF domes-
tic mail service routes was 1925, the
combined length of which was 27S,5S2
miles.
Considerable space IN the report is
given to discussion of the transporta-
tion OF periodical mail by fast freight;
Mr.. Stewart says that this method OF
transportation has been generally sat
isfactory to publishers, Gas in most
cases it has been practicable to over
come the slower movement III the
freight trains by advancing the date of
delivery to the postoffice at the point
of origin
Some Objections.
Some publishers. however, objected
TO the fast freight service, because of
the news character of the contents OF
their publications. In such instances 1t
has been the policy of the department,
after adequate showing has been made,
TO transport the mail IN regular mail
trains. Consideration is being given 10
the question of additional comlpensa-
tion for the transportation of the mails
and report will be made to congress
by the commission appointed 10 con-
duct the inquiry by or before March A.,
1914
Such experiments as heretofore have
been made in the carrying of mail by
aeroplane= have been conducted With
out expense to the government, al"
though the mails thus transported were
intrustcd 10 only sworn carriers. The
satisfactory performance or the service
has induced recommendation by Mr..
Stewart for AN appropriation of $4,000
for a regular experimental aeroplano
service.
