New Postmaster General
Shows Why 1t Was Nee
essary to Go to Congress
in May and Ask for In
crease Of Appropriation

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Postmaster
General Burleson today gave out a
statement summarizing various meas
ures adopted or contemplated in the
administration of the postal service.
The statement says in part:
During the ninety days of the new
administration about 1000 additional
clerks and approximately 500 addi-
tional city letter carriers have been
attached to the various postoffices
throughout the country and besides
these additions to the regular force
Approximately $1,000.0 900 has been
authorized for temporary clerk hire
and about $500, 900 FOR temporary
city letter carriers. These unusual
financial demands made it necessary
for the postmaster general to go to
congress in May for an emergency
appropriation of 100000, which was
promptly granted, and 100000 allot-
ted for temporary clerk hire and a
like amount for temporary carriers.
"On March >, 1913, there We're about
1900 vacant postmasterships of the
presidential grade. and some 800 have
become vacant since OF these more
than 1900 cases have been briefed
and about 1900 nominated to the
senate OF the fourth class post
masterships which were found vacant
on March ), including those which
have become vacant since, amounting
to about 4,500, more than LOO have
been filled as the result of civil
service examinations or inspectors
reports, leaving at the present time
about 1000 of the presidential grade
and some $500 of the fourth class to
be disposed of. These are being dealt
with eXpeditiously.
within the last sixty days ASS pc
titiOns for rural delivery routes have
been disposed of. resulting in the es-
tabIiShment Of 203 routes, involving
an annual expenditure for mainten-
ance of approximately $3.50, 900. BY
the establishment of these new routes
and the extension of old routes more
than 100000 people are now receiV-
ing their mail at their doors, instead
Of at remote pOStoffices.
I'm pursuance of the pOlicN of eX-
pediting <the delivery of mail, the
postmaster general has ordered the
discOntinuance of the backstamping
of all ordinary mail which heretofore
has delayed its delivery anywhere

IS LICENSED TO
WHIP CONV|CTS
Superintendent of Alabama
Capitol Building Flashes
Unique Permit Following
Discharge for Cruelty to
Prisoner

MONTGOMERY. Ala, June e.
G. Bragdon, superintendent of the
capitol building, who was discharged
Saturday afternoon by Governor
O'Neal, for striking Nose Davis, an
aged negro convict with hammer
today flashed" as authority for his
, act, a license issued TO him by James
Oakley, formerly president of The
state convict board, on January 10,
1913, designa ting him as a Whipp er
OF convicts under the roof Of the
capitol.
The voluntary exhibition of the L
cense by Bragdon developed the fact
that the state Of Alabama issues re-
gular licenses to whippers of cOnvicts
und that many such licenses are now
scattered at the various convict
camps The licenses are issued in
printed form, and. according to Hart
zen Douglas, president of the state
convict department, the law permits
these licenses to be issued only to
wardens and deputy Wardens.
I Dan Thra wick, chief clerk of the
convict department. said that it has
been the custom of the department
; for several years to designate whip
pers at convict camps so that they
may act in the absence of wardens.
Under what authority Bragdon was
issded the license is unanswered ex-
cept that James @. Oakley probably
! intended the instrument to be used
| by Bragdon as a safety valve in
/ handling the convicts brought to the
| capitol January /, last.
Daniel w. Troy, secretary to the
| governor, was surprised when he
! heard of the permit held by Bragdon
and this was the first time he knew
that the state issued such licenses.
! In the absence Of the governor lie
! was silent. 1t is quite likely that
! the governor knew nothing of the
/ instrument held by Bragdon
The license which Bragdon exhi-
| bited is printed on convict depart
ment stationery and is captioned in
big type, License then follows: "To
| All Whom 1t May Concern-E O.
! Bragdon, having taken the oath re-
quired by law, is hereby authorized
| to act as a whipper of convicts at
| the capitol at Montgomery, until this
| license is revoked

SECOND DAY IN
INTERNATIONAL
TENNIS MATCH
Australian Team Prevails
Against Two American
Players, Who Seem Not to
Understand Working To-
gether

NEW YORK. June Playing ten
mis- that ran the gamut from the SEN
sational to the mediocre, the Aus
tralian team defeated the United
States pair in the doubles match for
the Davis cup in the match for pre-
liminary trials to day 20, 6-2, 81.
g.. 81
The victory gave the players from
down under" their first match OF
the series, which now stands: United
States. ,; Australia. /
ON Monday. the two remaining
singles matches will be played. While
America needs one match the Aus
tralians must win both in order to
enter the second round to be played
off in England next month
For thrills and excitement no Davis
Cup Tennis match played in this
country half equalled that of TODAY.
The United States pinned its faith TO
Maurice +. Mclaughlin and Harold
II. Hackett while the Island Cont
nent's representatives were Stanley
\. Doust and a. B. Jones
! For five full sets these PLAYERS bat
tied back and forth one pair OBJ
tanning the advantage only to lose
it moment later to their opponents.
Brilliant individual play was nulIf-
fled by Wretched lack Of team work
and marvellous gets" were made only
to be cancelled by stupid plays a
moment later
Spice and adventure were added bv
a thunderstorm which soaked the
majority of the $500 spectators and
delayed the play almost an hour
Hardly had the second set been
started when the clouds overhanging
the courts opened, and a flood of
water descended on the players and
spectators. Tarpaulins were stretch
ed over the playing turf while thou
sands rushed for the club house
With the first sign of clear Sky, the
officials set to work to clear away
the water. Underneath the turf was
found sOggy but playable, so the
match continued. The water soaked
spectators returned to the stands and
soon forgot their discomfort. The soggy
condition of the court however, soon
turned the tide of victory in favor
of the Australians and fighting des-
perately to the last point, McLough
lin and Haclett went down to de-
feat where early in the play it APP
peared they would be logical win
ners. The heavy condition of the
turf, took the edge off Mclaughlin

the Australians proved too mucfl for

was by flashes of brilliant form on

Before the rain fell Mclaughlin was
able to employ his full power and
speed and his tremendous strokes,
but when the turf and balls became
water soaked this asset lost much of
its effectiveness.
Hackett failed to show the form
which marked his play on previous

for the greater parts of the play
were weak and ineffective. His
short lobs which seldom passed the

turned into slashing returns which
