DELEGATION WILL FIGHT
FOR ONE-CENT POSTAGE
Representatives of Cleveland Asso-
citation Here to Urge Definite
Action by Congress.

Charles William Burrows of Cleveland
Ohio. president of the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association which has its
headquarters i'll that city. with dele
CATION composed of George T. Mcintosh,
w NJ. Pattison and former Represent
ative James II. Cassidy. has arrived in
Washington to take up the fight for one
cent postage on letters
The reason for the present activity. it
is said, is due to the belief that the gov
ernment is deriving an increased revenue
of SIo.00o,UD on mail matter yearly. and
that letters. which are known as first
class matter, are unduly taxed for the
expenses of carrying mail matter of
other classes.
Mr.. Mcintosh. who is secretary of the
association headed by Mr.. Burrows, as
well as the active manager of the cam
paign now on. has declared that his or
ganlZatlon has a large membership, eX-
tending to every state in the Union, and
that such progress is being made in the
present movement that Congress must
take definite atcion at early date.
The subject of one-cent letter postage
is not a new one with the Post Office
Department. which has for years dis
couraged the agitation in it's favor.
Postmaster General Hitchcock. during
the last administration. is said to have
passed it by because of the greater i'm
portance of the potsal savings and par
Gel post service.
The present administration has thus
far shown no enthusiasm in its favor.
The officials who are disposed to talk
upon the topic. and there are but very
few of them, smile and Seem to indicate
that the time is not yet ripe for the one
cent letter rate innovation.

Judge E. c. Peter Rules Against
Plaintiffs in Suit to Pre-

Special Correspondence of The star.

Special CORES spondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, January Is 1914.
The case of Arthur J. Houshton and
other residents of Glen Echo. this county
against the mayor and council of Glen
Echo and DIR. Julian 3. Hubbell has been
decided by Judge Edward C. Peter in the
circuit court here in favor of the de-
PENDANTS.
1t was an action to have declared lille
gal a five-thousand-doIlar bond issue by
the town of Glen Echo to raise funds to
purchase the towns waterworks from
DIR. Hubbell and to restrain the mayor
and council from issuing 5000 in bonds
to rehabiltate the waterworhs.
The contention of the plaintiffs was
that the town had no right to issue bonds
for the purpose indicated, as title TO the
waterworks was already vested in the
town and that the Waterworks were ded-
icated to the town by the National Chau-
tauaua of Glen Echo, which built them
some years ago at cost of $4,000. DR..
Hubbell bought the waterworks from the
Chautauqua Association
Judge Peter held that insufficient
grounds had been shown for the action
asked but he granted the plaintiffs leave
to amend their bill and take testimony.
The plaintiffs were represented by At
torneys f. Reeves Braddock and J. l..
