HITCHCOCK WOULD PAY ROADS
FOR SPACE USED INSTEAD
OF WEIGHT.
PARCELS POST SYSTEM
MAKES 1T NECESSARY FOR SOME
ACTION TO BE TAKEN TO FIX
BASIS OF CHARGES.

Washington.-The postmaster gen.
sral has made another appeal to Con-
gross in letter to the chairman Of
the House postal committee for legis-
iation changing the method of paying
the railways for mail transportation.
Owing to the Inauguration of the par
Gel post system in the country on jan
uary /, Hitchcock deems 1t necessary
that some action should be taken on
his recommendation as soon as pos
sihle.
II is believed that the weight OF the
mail to be transported by the railways
will be increased considerably on this
account, and under the existing law
no additional compensation may be
paid until there has been weighing
of the mails and readjustment of the
basis of pay.
Hitchcock's proposition, which was
submitted to Congress more than u
year ago. and which is urged again
for adoption, provides for q complete
readjustment of the system of paying
the railways for carrying the mails.
substituting space for weight, as the
principal factor in fixing compensa.
ton. Under this plan 1t will be pos.
sible to determine what additional
payment should be made on account
Of the parcel post.
The postmaster generals recon.
mendation is based on the results of
a far-reaching investigation begun
early In the administration with the
object of determining what 1t cost the
railways to carry the mails. The sta
ustics obtained during the course OF
the inquiry show that while many OF
the railroads and particularly the larg.
er systems, were making profits from
mail transportation. certain Of the
lines were actually carrying the mails
At LOGS.
AS result OF the investigation, the
department decided to urge the sban.
donment OF the prcront plan OF fixing
compensation on the basis of weight
OF mails carried, a plan that has
proved to be exceedingly expensive
and In other respects unsatisfactory.
II the proposed plan of the adjust.
ment be authorized and placed in op.
GRAFTON, Hitchcock states in his letter,
1t Will enable the department to fully
compensate the railways for Increased
service performed. as well as correct
inequalities in compensation which
now exist.

JACK BRETON SAYS
 BOUT WAS NOT FAKE
Says Referee's Action in Stopping
 Fight With Moore Was Unjust.

Jack Britton whose bout with Pal Moore was stopped, sends. the fol- lowing.
 Sporting Editor of The Farmer:
 Billy Rocap's action in stopping my contest with Pal Moore was both out rageous and unjust. I firmly believe that there was something behind his action for two clubs were bidding for my bout with Young Erne and there was lot of hard feeling. That it was a plant to inure me and Edwards club is certain. Why MT. Edwards told me after Recap had stopped the bout that he knew I was doing my best and the match with Erne would be held May 5. Now they have gone and fixed it so that he cannot hold the bout.
 was doing my very best when the bout was stopped. Ten months ago I fought Pal Moore twenty rounds in California. Why should they expect me to knock him out now in 8 couple of rounds. Has anybody ever knock ed out Pal Moore? He fought the best lightweights around here and no one ever knocked him down. ap- peal to the fans to seriously weigh these facts before passing Judgment. had no reason to '.pulP' my punches. had everything to gain by whipping Moore decisively and everything to lose by being dishonest. I have whip ped Cross and in fact every light weight in the East and am in line for a fight with Willie Rftchie. Is 1t within reason that would jeopardize my chances of losing a fight that would make me worlds champion.
 have been boxing for eight syears' and never before was even censured by referee, never lost contest on a foul and never was there any ques- ton raised as to my honesty. My past record is the proof that offer against the record of the man who stopped the bout and said was not trying my best.
 Respectfully,

had battles with sssch men as PapEe, Klaus, George Gunther, Marcel Mo- reau, Bandsman, Rice and Cyclone Smith within the past few months, IS not very much afraid of the cars. Geo. Gunther, the. colored 15S-pounder, is a pretty tough proposition for any of the middle weights as he has prov en many times and Carpentier knock cd him out in IA rounds.
 The truth of the matter Is Carpen- tier is getting beyond the middle weight limit and cannot make the do 160 pounds, and the chances are he refused to put up forfeit for any such weight now. About ITO would probably suit him much better. The trouble is the Frenchman has been badly trained at times and has made weight that simply killed" him when he got into the ring. He is over six feet In height and only coming 20 years of age, so 1t can be seen that the boys frame is such that. he should scale over 16o. He should de- velop into a good heavy weight. and if he can only retain his speed, sci ence and strength, he will be heard from, in that class. It will not be sur prtsing to- hear of Carpenter being matched with Bombardier Wells of England before long. Both are of about the same build and with the F'renchman's increasing. weight there will be little difference between them.
 Tn the meantime Frank Klaus claims the title of Europe. but he will have to get back there to defend it as there will be many challenges hurled at him now. Harry Lewis, the American middle, who was hurt in automobile accident in London, seems to be back to form again and is after MT. Klaus. There are several oth- CTS, too, who seek his scalp. It IS just possible that Klaus will be match in France with Eddie McGoorty in place of Billy Papke, as overtures have been made with the Wisconsin boy for such a contest.

It is expected that there will be record breaking attend ance and there will be plenty of seats for all who wish to attend.
 All of the boxers will complete their training by Saturday and will be fit when they enter the ring. The thirty rounds of fast boxing are appealing to the fans both in this city and through out the State There will be three ten round bouts. The first will bring together Kid Pa1itz, the New London hard hitter, and Kid Lewis, the Wa terbury nitt artist, who is so popular in this city on account of his fine work on the two occasions he boxed
